resentative in congress for the sole pur-
pose of securing an appropriation for
the improvement of the Arkansas river.
Several boats were built mere and
used to transport freight between
Wichita and down the river points.
but he now thought General Grant was
right when he a the Arkansas river
could only be made navigable by put
ting a copper lining in it.
Reverting to the theory of the under
flow witness said he had no doubt that
if the Arkansas river was running
bank full all the year through there
could be excellent crops raised in this
valley eight or ten miles wide, whether
there was any rain or not. He was of
the opinion that the level of the surface
Of the water in the river and the I'M
derf1ow was at least one foot lower
than formerly.
Witness did not consider the soil in
this valley had become less fertile, but
he knew h corn crop was more I'M
certain. For the past seven years the
corn crop had been poor and had not
eQualed those of IL or 15 years ago.
He said the of the soil and
the planting of trees a prevented
the surface water from finding it's way
into the river as quickly as in former
years. He said any statement which
might be made concerning the corn
crop in the northern part of the state
would not change his opinion as to
the effect of the receding of the waters
in this valley having an injurious eff
feet upon the land. He knew the peo-
pie had been injured by reason of the
constantly decreasing flow of water
under this valley and had urged them
to take action to stop h people Of
Colorado from taking water from the
river for irrigating purposes.
The first witness examined during
the afternoon was Colonel B. H.
Campbell of Wichita who aid he had
lived in this city since 1873. He now
lived on the west bank of the Little
Arkansas river about one mile from
its confluence with the Arkansas river.
Had farmed and raised cattle since
coming to this state. He owned $50
acres in Sedgwick county and Ian in
Clark and lea counties. Colonel
Campbell said he was familiar with
the Arkansas river and had been ia
miliar with it t~wenty-six years. He
said the valley of the Arkansas includ-
ed that portion which extended from
the foothills on one side to the foot
hills on the other and was from eight
to twenty miles in width. He consider
ed the soil here equal to the richest
lands in Illinois. Indiana and Ohio.
First bottom was that land comprised
in the first level back from the river
and second bottom from that to the
foothills. All land higher than this
would be considered upland.

AS TO THE UNDERFLOW
witnesses for Kansas Give Important
Testimony.

Wichita, Kan, Aug. 2O.-It is grad
ually dawning upon the attorneys 1or
the defense in the kansas-Colorado
irrigation case that they are up against
one of the most perpleXing problems
of their lives. AS the testimony given
by pioneer residents of this valley
have day after day tended to show the
extent to which the people here nave
been despoiled it cannot but have
brought CONSERVATION to them.
The evidence of the past two ses-
sions has tended to show that not only
has the water in the river and the IN
derhow beneath the soil in this imme-
date vicinity, eceded from Two 10
four feet during the past twelve OF
fifteen years. but that this condlt1on
exists throughout the whole extent OF
the valley in n This receding
of the underfiow, which in the opinion
of nearly every witness thus 1ar eN-
amined has resulted in a reduct1on OF
the productiveness of the SOIL 10 the
extent of at least one-third, is stipend
Gus in itself and few people realize
to what extent it has injured the peo-
pie of this valley.
Judge Ashbaugh, taking the test-
mony of the witnesses into consid-
Grafton. has made a little calculation
that will convey quite readily to the
average mind some idea of the havoc
that has been worked by the depletion
of the water supply. Taking the
length of the rkansa valley, which
is ESQ miles in Kansas. which averages
about five miles in width for h first
hundred miles and ten miles wide dur
ing the other hundred and eighty
miles, the judge finds that there are
1900 sections of land. If, as every
witness thus far has testified, the pro-
d~uctiveness of the soil has been re-
duced One-third, and taking thirty
OF corn as a good yield, the
reduction of one-third would mean the
loss of ten bushels per acre, or 5000
bushels per section. Not taking into
account the d 200 bushels, this
would mean a decrease of 1880, 900
bushel Of corn per year for the en-
tire valley. This in ten years would
amount to 13S, 0OO,OOO of corn, which
at the present price of so cents per
bushel would moun to $69, 900, 900,

In Armourdale, one man was seriously
injured, another man received painful
but not serious bruises and several
others sustained minor injuries. Nine
of h men were employees of a local
sand company and the others were in

Independent hauler, was struck on the
head with an a. and seriously hurt.
E. E. Hooper, also an Independent
hauler, was beaten with a shovel. The
men fought over an attempt by the
company's employees to fence up a
sand bar, thus excluding the indie
pendent hauIers from working there.

1890, and then the people began to
leave as they could no longer raise
crops there. South # the Arkansas
river it was practically an open range
from Comapche county to The Colo
RADIO line in 1881. Witness drove cat
tie to the west line of Kansas in Sep
TENDER, 1881. and found plenty of
water in the Arkansas river at that
time. Though he had traversed the
river every year from that time to
1883 he always had found plenty of
water. When counsel tried to induce
him to say the western counties had
been settled from 1881 to 1888 by
people who went there with the be-
lief that there had been an increased
rainfall and that they could raise
o as a result, witness said it was
a fact that that section was settled
from 1884 to 1888 and that people
did raise crops, but he was not aware
that there had been any increase in
the rainfall. Witness had seen some
irrigation bitches in that part of the.
state, but could not say anything as
to their extent Now a large portion
of land along the river in the western
had been sown to alfalfa
which is the only crop thai is suffi-
GENTLY deep rooted to reach the water
