HARRIS IS OUT.
Kansan Will Not Be on Panama
Canal Commission. So

Washington, Feb. 22.-President
Roosevelt has selected the men who
are to constitute the new Panama
canal commission, and formal an
nouncement of the personnel of the
commission will be made as soon as
the treaty with Panama shall have
been ratified. AS heretofore chrOn-
icled by the Associated Press, Rear
Admiral John w. Walker, who is presi-
dent of the existing isthmian canal
commission, will be a member of the
new commission, probably its head.
Gen. George Davis will also be a men,
Der. In addition to those two, Col.
Frank G. Heiker, of Detroit. who dur
ing the Spanish American war was di-
rector of transportation for the war
department, has been chosen for a
place on the commission. He has in
dictated his acceptance of the appoint
ment The commission Is to be COM
posed of seven members. The other
four have been selected, but no init
nation is given as to who they may
be, except that one of them Is a prom
inent man of Louisiana.
1t is understood to be quite certain
that former Senator James K. Jones
of Arkansas, former Governor Sayers
of Texas, Isham Randolph of Chicago,
who was the chief engineer of the Chi
cago drainage canal, and former SEN
ator Harris of Kansas, all of whom
have been named prominently in con-
nection with appointment to the new
commission, are not among the selec-
tons of the president. 1t is expected
that the president soon will receive ac-
ceptances from all the men whom he
has chosen for the commission.

HARD LUCK FOR FERGUSON.
Bearcatcher Cannot Start in the Cali
fornIa Derby.

San Francisco, Feb. 22.-Bearcatch-
er's lameness being too serious to leave
the least hope of his going to the post
today, the California Derby is robbed
of much of its interest. Also a much
argued and most interesting question
is left Neutrality-suspicious. this grand
looking, Kentucky bred colt would
prove as invincible at a mile and a
quarter as he has been in sprint races
since he graduated from the schooling
list.
This point has been discussed fire.
quently by horsemen, a majority holding
that he would trim all the best of his
age here in the Derby in the same de-
cisive manner as he won his races at
Oakland last month at six and six and
a half furlongs. Yet all the time there
have been some who looked upon him as
a great colt up to a mile, but likely to
be beaten when asked to go the extra
quarter.
Just why such an opinion should be
held is not clear, unless it be that the
colt seems to be much of a front run
ner, and might set pace which would
tell on him when challenged in the final
quarter. However, many believe he
would have won all the way, and never
would have been challenged. His most
ardent admirers declare he would have
been rated in front of a mile and then
would have run off from the field when
set down.

no Be rested At Fort Riley.

Fort Riley, Feb. 22.-The provisional
regulations being formed by the board
of officers now at work revising the
field artillery regulations will be given
a practical test at this post before be-
ing finally adopted. The new regula-
tons were made necessary by the re-
placing of the old pattern of the field
gun in the United States service with
the new Ehrhardt rapid fire recoil field
gun, a large number of which are now
being manufactured in Germany for
the United States service. The first
consignment of the guns will be sent
to Fort Riley some time in March, and
soon after their arrival the test of the
provisional regulations will be made.

IN SOUTHWESTERN LEAGUE.
Wichita and Hutchinson May Be In
Guided in the New Circuit.

Dallas, Tex, Feb. 22.-Mr. T. P. CTed)
Sullivan has returned to Dallas from a
tour. of the circuit of the Southwestern
baseball league, having visited Wichita,
Guthrie and Oklahoma City. He also at
tended a meeting held at Guthrie, at which
the organization of circuit was accom-
plished. The members of the league pos
itively in line are Oklahoma City and
Guthrie. in Oklahoma, and Wichita and
Hutchinson. in Kansas, with Shawnee,
Muskogee, South McAlester and Vinita
in sight and seriously contemplating en-
tering the circuit. Mr.. Sullivan said:
II feel sure that the four towns already
in the Southwestern circuit are in SPLEEN
did base ball territory and on a solid
basis for permanency. I am not so sure
of the substantial status of the other
towns named. But of the advisability of
one thing am thoroughly convinced and
prepared to advocate-that Is, the merg-
ing of the four towns of the Southwest
ern league with the four constituting the
Texas league and making one of the best
minor leagues in the United States.
THE circuit 1 am advocating would
consist of Dallas, Fort Worth, Corsicana
and Paris, in Texas; Oklahoma City and
Guthrie, in Oklahoma, and Wichita and
Hutchinson, in Kansas. That would
make an ideal, successful and financially
profitable circuit.

in the city. He was met at the hotel
by a committee and was taken out to

which is doing good work. Other plants
We're visited with much interest to Mr..

who was here in company with Mr..
Mead Arrangements were made with
Superintendent Trull of the city water
works, who started the heavy pumps
at 1 p. m. to pump down the large
well, so as to show the pressure of the
underf1OW that comes in at the bottom
of this well through q 10-inch curbing
that is sunk into the water bearing
sand and gravel a depth of % feet be-
low the bottom of the well. When this
well is pumped down to the top of this
pipe it stands at a level. The capacity
Of these pumps is 500 gallons per min
ute, but they cannot lower it more.
This then shows the pressure from the
underfiow.
Mr. Mead, Prof Willard, and Mr..
Diesem, president of the Western Kan

into this well after it had been pumped
two hours and watched the pumping
for 80 minutes, the well during all this
time standing at a depth of four feet
of water. This well is "a feet in df-

In the evening a large audience was
in attendance at the court ROOM Prof
Willard was first introduced, and spoke
of the relation of the Agricultural COL
1ege to the farmers of Kansas. The au-
dience was attentive and interested in
his remarks. Following this Mr.
Diesen1, president of the Western Kan
sas Irrigation association, made a brief
statement as to what the people of
western Kansas needed and were ask
ing the United States government to
do towards developing the underflow.
Next Mr.. ElWood Mead was introduced,
and in his remarks explained to the
people what his department was doing
towards making experiments in irriga-
ton and what lines they were trying
to carry out and assist the new irri-
gators in the saving of water as well
as getting the water at first. Mr..
Mead expressed the belief that there
is a probability of a great supply of

Kansas. He conveyed the idea at least
that it should be the duty of the United
States government to put in some
practical experiments in western

been demanding that the government
should do, to see how large a supply
