agency at Lambert's Point, would nut
nearly all of the big scEocners of tho
Palmer fleet, which have for several
years been plying ont Of this port in

A we'll known local shipping man
said last night that tic report was
without foundation and that a number
OF the Palmer schooners had already
been chartered for the coal trade be-
tween this port and Boston during the
coming year. He went OH to say that
some of the Palmer schooners had
been going to Norfolk for cargocs all
the time, but that there was no reason
to believe that any ships now plying
out OF this port would DC transferred
TO service out Of Norfolk.
Z There arc about score of schooners
bearing the name OF Palmer and they
compose two fleets, owned by two diff.
ferent companies. number of the
vessels have been carrying coal out
Tor Baltimore for the past five or six
weets, while others have been loading

REEDER on WESTERN KANSAS
DECLARES THAT WESTERN KANSAS
DOES NOT MED TREIeATIoE.
The Proposed Governments Irrigation Pro
jet Say Not BIateraIize Since Rain
fall Has Increased and the
Climate Changed

Congressman Reeder, of this district,
has been saying good things to the press
about western Kansas. He IS of the
opinion that the government irrigation
experiment at Garden City will never be
made. The owners of the land must
contract with the government TO take
the water" said Mr. Reeder the other
day, before anything viii be done by
the interior department. The first pro-
vision of the law IS that the experiments
shall not cost the government anything;
the only way the expense can be met is
by the farmers contracting to take the
water and the contract is about the
same as a mortgage. The only differ
ence is that, under a mortgage, a farm
er knows exactly what his indebtedness
is, while he doesn't know how much
his water bill will be. The farmers viii
be slow 70 sign such contracts and If a
large per cent of them fail to do so the
government will drop the project. We
had a similar deal on for Russell cOun-
ty, in my district, but the farmers were
afraid of the contract and the govern
ment abandoned the matter.
"As a matter Of fact, - says Reeder,
western Kansas will not be under ditch
until Illinois or Iowa or other Central
states are, and they won't be irrigating
ial crop. Irrigation IS not carried on IN
dry sections only. Wet countries irri-
gate, also. For instance, they irrigate
in Florida, where the rainfall IS prob
ably greater than in any other state.
They want to produce certain things
there and the rainfall comes at the
wrong time, so they irrigate. They
will be doing the same thing in Illinois
and Iowa and other Central states some
time.
1.-The only crop that needs irrigation
IN western Kansas IS sugar beets, and 1t
will be many years before that crop
amounts TO anything. As long as farm
ers can raise wheat and corn profitably
they are not going to fool with sugar
beets. 1t IS easier to produce wheat and
corn. There was a time when we
couldn't raise much wheat and corn
in the west, but that time has passed.
We have found out how to farm that
country now, and the rainfall has
changed. 1t used to rain all in a bunch
and then stay dry for a long while. We
would be flooded one day and dry the
next month, as food waters soon run
off. The clouds would sail east from
the Rocky mountains and never give up
moisture gradually, but would turn It
all loose IN a bunch at one place. Now
we have gentle soaking rains all over
the west. ClOud-buTsts and floods no
longer trouble rs. I don't know what
has brought about this change unless II
is the development Of the country south

HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT
Three Students To Be Graduated at the
Opera House, May rs.


Opera House, May 26.
This year the Sherman county high
school turns out three graduates-Miss
Luella Haney, Miss Amy Bush and Mr.
Roy Coleman. They have completed a
three years high school course. The
commencement exercises will be held in
the opera house at $50 Friday evening,
May 26. At O'Clock Sunday evening
preceding the graduation, Rev. John
Eldrldge will deliver the baccalaureate
sermon to the class.
S. V. Mallory, principal of the Sher-
man county high school wishes to an
nOunCe to the public that at the com
mencement exercises an admission Of Is
cents will be charged to defray the in
cidental expenses connected with the
entertainment. Reserve seats will be
on sale Wednesday morning at Moore
& StevensOn's drug store. An invita-
ton IS extended to everybody to attend
the exercises and thereby show their
appreciation of this annual event.
This is the fourth annual com mence-
ment since the county high school was
established by special law. The 1905
graduates are all GOOdland young Peo-
pie. This fact prOvokes the question,
What of the country boys and girls?
There are only three or four high school
students attending from the country
districts. The provision for the issu-
ance of common school diplomas by the
county superintendent to those scholars
that have done a certain amount of
grade work, is said to be one reason for
the poor attendance of the high school.
Other reasons might be that the boys
are needed at home to work and that,
with the girls, the parents may feel
the expense of keeping them in town is
700 great.
Whatever the cause, the fact remains.
The suggestion Is offered that the high
school might be better patrOnized by
the rural districts if educational meet
ings were held at different places over
the county during the summer and fall
months.
