senger--Mayor lnsIedue Spoke

Today all of the various departments
of the Iowa Central shops were prac-
tically deserted and most of the ma
chinery was at standstill, while the
employees Of all kinds, and their fam
lilies, were at Union attending the an
nual picnic. In addition to the crowd
from this city, which numbered about
600, about $50 passed thru on their
way. from Oskaloosa to Union. Only
enough help were kept in the shops
round house and yards to keep the
trains moving.
A special train of nine coaches and
two baggage cars carried those from
this city. 1t left the union station at
1850 o'clock, and reached Union thirty
minutes later. 1t was in charge OF
Conductor Christianson, and Engineer
Asuuith, who. with the other members
Of the crew. donated their services.
Those from Oskaloosa Travelled in
two coaches attached to the regular
iioA III poullI passenger ne Two
cars, however, would not hold all who
boarded. Among the Oskaloosa crowd
were many who formerly lived in this
city.
Superintendent c. S. Hayden and
Trainmaster j. E. Mccarthy, Of Oska-
loosa, attended, but it was thought
that General Superintendent ID. c..
Noonan, OF Minneapolis, would not be
there. Among the very few who were
not employees Of the company who went
to Union to attend the picnic, was
Mayor O. L. Ingledue, who had been
invited to speak.
On arrival at the grounds, just out
side of Union, the crowd scattered in
all directions, and the program, which
was prepared was not commenced un-
til some time later.
Before dinner was spread under the
trees, Mayor Ingledue, Superintendent
C.. S. Hayden and Trainmaster Nc
Carthey made short addresses. The
sports of the afternoon began soon af-
ter dinner.
The excursion train leaves the pic
mic grounds at Z o'clock this evening.

These facts are recited to explain why
the Garden City project is attracting
a public interest greater than would
follow the construction OF a project
OF this kind in other sections OF tho
west. The water for this project must
be recovered from the underflow waters
| OF the Arkansas valley which lie in
gravel deposits existing below the bed
OF the river. The plans of the govern
ment provide for the sinking of several
| hundred wells from which the water
will be pumped and discharged into a
collecting conduit. These wells will
be scattered along a line nearly FIVE
| miles long.
The power is generated at a single
central plant situated on the railroad,
and is then distributed by electricity
| to the wells.
| Applications for water under this
Iproject have been made by the owners
! OF more than $4,000 acres OF land to
be benefited and the community is very
enthusiastic concerning the future sue
cess of irrigation in the Arkansas val
ley. One private pumping plant erect
ed three years ago in this neighborhood
at a cost of more than $1,000 supplied
water to 1000 acres in wheat. The
first crop harvested was sold for more
| than the original cost of the pumping
plant.
| The Garden City country has long
been famous as an alfalfa center and
the location seems to be especially
we'll adapted to the maturing of the
seed crop OF alfalfa which has always

brings a high price all over the mri-
gated west.
A sugar factory is now being con-
structed at this point and consid-
cradle acreage has been promised to
the factory which will he planted in
sugar beets as soon as the project is
completed.
The important bearing which the sue
cess of the project has upon the future
Of millions Of acres of the great plains
is thoroughly appreciated by the land
owners. Vast areas are still the prop

With the development of numberless

sion of successful dry farming over
areas on higher levels the great plains

How the Great Plains Are Populated

Washington, April .o.-To The For
.un: The very mention of home build
ing in western Kansas and Nebraska
will call up painful recollections today
in more than one household in New
England. The disastrous attempt OF
years back to inhabit and farm these
semi-desert: prairies lends much, inter-
est to the first government irrigation
works to be located in the great plains
region-the Garden City project. Con-
tracts will be let in May and the work
will doubtless he completed in time
for irrigation in the spring of 1907.
Unusual interest attaches to this pro-
ject not alone because it is the first
which involves pumping from under
ground sources but because it is be-
heyed that its successful operation will
usher in a new era for the great plains.
The Importance of this project is more
fully realized when it is remembered
that the division of the United States
known as the great plains comprises
100000 square miles or over one quar-
ter of the total area of the whole
country. Over vast portion of this
region the settlers are few and far
apart. 1t is the 'tsf1ort- grass" country
and is today furnishing forage and
grazing for great herds and fiocks
West of the Tooth meridian the climate
belongs to the semi-arid region and
general farming without irrigation is
not successful except in years OF un-
usual and timely rainfall The history
of this section has been marked by a
number of disastrous failures, most oi
which resulted from lack Of knowl-
edge of the climatic oscillation and
| from fever of speculation in western
mortgages. 49,. D.. Il.
During cycle of wet years agricul,
ture was extended far across the plains
/ the movement being greatly facilitat-
ed by companies formed to place loans
and take mortgages on real estate
The east was the treasury from which
the funds were drawn. During the con.
tinuance of several years of ample rain
fall the profits Of these loan agencies
were great and prudence was thrown
to the winds. "A series of dry years
and the consequent failure of crops
forced the settlers to abandon their
farms and whole counties were practi-
cally depopulated. Today here and
there on the plains the deserted SOD
