At the afternoon session Governor
w. J. Bailey addressed the convention,
the court room being filled, on west
ern Kansas, and Its Possibilities" He
said the building of that part of the
state could not be foretold at this time,
but If the flood waters could be stored
in reservoirs and later on used when
necessary for irrigation it would mean
much. Also that the undertook should
be developed to its fullest capacity.
The government should make these
experimental tests through the bureau
of investiyat and he pledged the
help and the assistance of the
state administration in all its power
to this end. Also that the people of
eastern Kansas were in full sympathy
with the west and would at all times
cooperate with them in their demands.
w. Y. Morgan, of Hutchinson. also
addressed the convention and said that
the people of the west should not be
backward in asking for what they want
and push it with-a vigor. That the peo-
pie of Hutchinson and Reno county
were always with them and were al
ways ready to assist in this work.
The committee on resolutions then
made their report, and the resolutions
were adopted.
The last session in the evening
brought out a full attendance. q. L.
Miller reported the proceedings of the
eleventh National Irrigation congress
at Ogden, Utah, in September. Other
short addresses were made by local
| speakers. The poem, 1.-THE New Oaken
Bucket" was recited by Miss Nettie
Lawrence. The chorus rendered several
fine selections, assisted by the Philhar-
monte orchestra
This convention has put new life into
the people of western Kansas and ir-
rigation in all it's phases will be pushed
with vigor.

it thoroughly. The Marshall boys
did not disappoint their people on
the relay race this year, as has
been the case in previous years.
Hyke Of Luverne, who was re
garded as the crack athlete of the
bunch, went down on some of the
best events this year For instance.
90 the 50-yard dash, where he was
regarded as a winner, he fell down
and got only a second place. There
were two dashes on this event, the
first dash, through an error of
measurement, being only 40 yards,
the time indicating the mistake. AS
soon as it was discovered it was re-
run. Hyke won out on the short
run, but on the re-trial he was
beaten by Reigner, while Frank
King, who didn't get mark at the
first trial, got third place on the
run over. Hyke fell down in other
events, generally to the help of the
winning team.
In the 12O yard hurdle race the
two McDougalls of the Redwood
team got second and third places,
the first place going to the town
winning the meet, so that Redwood
secured four points to Marshall S
five, the basis of percentage being
on five, three and one for the three
places. In the half mile run, a
beautiful race, in which excellent
time was made, Allan King and
Howard Robinson got first and
third places, while Marshall got
only second. In the discus throw
event Chris Neuenschwander' S first
throw of 76 feet, two inches, a beauty
by the way, was never equalled.
In the quarter mile bicycle race the
two Marshall boys walked off with
first and second, Cheney getting
the third mark
The running broad jump was an
interesting event, Frank King and
Hvke tying for second place, and on
the jump-off King won by a few
inches, but neither one of the boys
equalled their tie score of 10 feet,
three inches. In the hammer throw
Frank King again did few stunts,
throwing the hammer Ill feet, three
inches, while his closest opponent
was about SO feet. There was a

as one Of the best logical, polished
and eloquent orators in the state,
and he will undoubtedly have for
the occasion a subject that will be of
intense interest to all who will be
present on that day.
Last year, when Gov. VanSant APP
peared at the picnic it was estimated
that there were in the neighborhood
of 4, 900 people present, and it was
reported then that the crowd would
have been larger if all the people
had sincerely believed that the
governor was going to be present.
This year, with the written assur-
ance from Senator Clapp that he
will be present, and with fair wealth
er the crowd ought to be even
larger.

THE ED. ANDREWS OPERA CO.

Which is the most popular ballad
ever written? This is a question
difficult to answer, as it is largely
a matter of public taste, but upon
investigation it has been found that
'The Last Rose of Summer, has
had longer run than most any
other song composed. Every prima
donna and singer of any note has
tried it as a concert number or for
an encore and always with great
success. This beautiful Irish bal
lad belongs originally in the opera
"Martha,'' and will be sung at the
opera House Friday night, May %,
by Catherine Lee, the prima donna,
and Jay G. Taylor, the tenor of the
Andrews Opera Company. Sur
rounded by the stage accessories
and the dramatic action of the play,
it takes upon itselfa meaning which
without this assistance it could not
possibly have, and it never fails to
Stir the audiences to the very high
est pitch of enthusiasm.

served seats may be secured for so
