OUGHT TO KEEP UP WITH THE
TIMES.

Wausau should have an up-to-date u.
S. mail wagon. We have fine govern
ment building, and it does look little
out of place for the mails to be trans
ferred in a common wagon. In other
cities they have handsome covered
wagons, painted white, with q. S. Mail
lettered thereon, and besides the mail
is transferred under lock and key. If
the government is furnishing these
pretty wagons, let Wausau have one.
The PILOT recommends that the ladies
who have taken so much interest in the
identifying of Wausau, see what they
can do in this matter.

should leave the church before the
sermon. Otherwise they should re-
main till the conclusion of the serv-
ice"

NO TRUTH IN 1T.

There was very sensational article
in the Milwaukee papers on Sunday
which told of the girls of Lawrence
university playing leap-frog, and of
their throwing a teacher down stairs
who tried to stop the sport, and further,
the article stated that a number of the
girls interested had been sent home.
The Pilot is asked by one who knows
to emphatically deny the statements.
Nothing of the kind happened and it
was a sensational article without the
least foundation of truth.

SPEND A FORTUNE
Three Hundred Thousand Dol
lars in Irrigation Plant
VIII Be Expended in Vicinity of
Garden City.
MAKE A BIG GARDEN.
Would Water a Hundred ThOus-
and Acres.
This Will BE Used to Raise
Sugar Beets.
MAKE A BIG GARDEN.

An immense irrigation plan has been
developed by the United States Sugar
and Land company, which operates the
sugar beet factory and fields near Gar
den City. which VIII make possible the
cultivation Of about one hundred thou
sand acres Of the short grass" lands
in Finney. and Kearney counties. Three
hundred thousand dollars will be ex-
pended on this irrigation project.
Information to this effect was brought
to Topeka today by S. S. Asbaugh, OF
Wichita, who is one of the attorneys for
Kansas in the famous Arkansas river
suit against the state of Colorado. Nj.
Asbaugh has recently been out in the
western part of the state working on
this suit and while there he learned OF
this irrigation plan.
It seems that after this sugar com
pany purchased some $1,000 acres
of land in Finney county for the
culture of sugar beets, a survey of this
land was made for the purpose Of estab-
fishing its correct boundaries. During
this survey the engineers, who were
making 1t. came across a natural sort
of basin extending from the junction
OF FInney and kearney counties about
seven miles southwest towards Lakin.
This basin is from half to mile and
a half wide. In it's vicinity is what is
known as the great eastern ditch.
According to the plans of the COM
pany this natural basin is to be
damned up at its lower end and the
big ditch Widened from it's present
size. which is 20 feet. to 100 feet The
ditch will be extended to the basin or
reservoir, as it will be when the dams
are in place. It is planned that this
ditch will carry off the flood waters
which are prevalent each year in the
Arkansas river into the reservoir and
that the water can be stored in this
reservoir until it is needed for irri-
cation purposes. when it can be
drained off through the big ditch and
to the surrounding country
It is estimated that this reservoir
will hold about $4,000 acre feet of
water; that is, water SUFFICIENT to cover
$4,000 acres with a depth of one foot.
As It only takes about six inches of
water throughout a season for a sue
cessful culture of sugar beets and
some other produce, the reservoir will
therefore hold enough water to irri-
gate 100. 600 acres of land. which Will
be redeemed from its present nonpro-
ductive state
