What Reservoirs Would Do.

The occasional great floods Of the
waters OF the Missouri and the Mis-
sissippi valleys always direct attent ion
to the possibility Of their prevention
by the construction OF the irrigation
reservoirs.
all the west, in fact the whole ma.
ton, is interested in the plan to have
the government build system Of
storage reservoirs near the head
waters Of the streams to mitigate
floods and likewise to reclaim desert
land. As the government controls
rivers, it could appropriately under
take the diversion Of superduous
water into reservoirs, where it could
be later used for irrigation.
Moreover the great area of irrigated
desert would act as secondary reser-
voir. Fancy single irrigation or ap-
plication of water to ten or twenty
million acres along the watershed of
the Missouri ard its tributaries.
This single operation would absorb
the flood Of great river. The nation
is certainly interested in the UNDER
taking of such work which would
probably end the floods that cause
much loss Of life and property. The
water which now swells,the Missouri,
its tributaries'and at times the Missis-
sippi to undue proportions would be
diverted for use in transforming
deserts into gardens. At the same
time the government could depend on
making the work pay itself.

eating 400 or 500 pupils as 17O-and
this latter figure is in excess of the
regular attendance. The high school
should be located where the people
can reach it conveniently and then il
would fulfill its mission.
1t is only fair and right that the
tax payers Of a public institution
should be allowed to designate its
location In place where it is most
satisfactory and valuable for all. II
they make a mistake and discover it,
they should have the right to correct
that mistake at any opportunity pre-
senting itself. The state law locat-
ing the high schools is not very def
mite as to the manner In which the
place Of location Is decided but it ia
evident that fairness would allow q
county to change location provided
no extra cost was involved.
We believe q large majority Of the
people OF Dickinson county would pre-
fer to have this institution located at
Abilene where 1t would be within
reach OF a larger percentage Of patrons
and students. II Abilene would
agree to duplicate the county high
school building in this city-and we
believe 1t would be glad to do So
there could easily be given an ex-
preston Of the peoples actual wishes
in the matter with the item Of expense
eliminated. .-' .,'.-- q
The dozen or fifteen county high
schools now in operation in Kansas
are almost uniformly located at the
county seat, In one or two instances
where they were organized early in
the history Of this class Of schools
and the small towns outside the coun-
ty seat were selected the results have
been as unsatisfactory as In Dickinson
county. Whatever action may have
been taken 10 or 20 years ago has no
bearing upon the conditions Of today.
The progress Of the county, the build
ing Of RAILROADS and the better under.
standing OF the needs Of the school
nave brought about a different con-
litlon Of affaifs. The population Of,
ioeay has a right to make its decision
