when a number of bowlers from the
large cities got together and adopted
them. Up to 1890 the games of the
east were played under the rules of the
ers of the west played a "go-aS-you-
please game" The game was brought
down to a scientific point in 1895. when
the American bowling congress was
formed. which has made it one of the
important factors in the indoor winter
sports.

adopted. the narrow ones giving way to

MERITS OF THE CAREY ACT.
Settlers Can Acquire Title to Irrigated
Land Under Easy Conditions.

The people of the east are as a rule
familiar only with the different irri-
CATION enterprises undertaken by the
United States government. But in the
west there is not a little difference of
opinion as to the practical merits from
the settlers point of view of the federal
plan of reclamation and settlement
and the state plan under the Carey
act.
The latter, which is best illustrated
in the Twin Falls project empowers the
state to undertake or to contract for
huge irrigation enterprises, permits the
or less and when the water is ready to
be delivered in his bitches to settle and
begin to improve and make a living off
the land. He is then able to acquire
title to his holdings, provided he clears
and cultivates at least one-eighth with
in year, when his property becom es
taxable and the community can begin
public improvements.
Under the NeWlands act the federal
government conducts the enterprise
and the settler must wait five years be-
fore he can acquire his title and must
move on when he files his claim ire
spective of the prospects of obtaining
water Taxes can not be levied since
the property is not taxable. There is
no doubt, of course. that the Carey act
allowing of a more flexible method of
bringing great areas under cultivation
be counted as a highly important fac
tor in the development of the great
west. Nor is there as yet danger of
huge corporate holdings. At present
the average holding is ninety acres

THANKSGIVING FOR THE POOR.
Provldcnt Association Takes Steps to
Provide Dinner.

OFFICERS of the Topeka Provident
association hope that the charitably
inclined of the city, who make it a
practice each year of supplying baskets
with the good things of the season for
a Thanksgiving dinner for some needy
family. will cooperate, or rather use
the facilities of the Provident associa-
ton in the distribution of these bas-
ket dinners for Thanksgiving day,
which comes on Thursday of next
week.
Heretofore, there has been little or
no system in the distribution of these
dinners and the result has been that
some needy families have received two
and three baskets, while others just as
needy have not received any.
1t is the desire of the officers of the
association that those who contemplate
furnishing basket dinners for the needy
shall communicate their intentions to the
association and then the association will
be able to keep a list showing just where
dinners are going to be sent. The as
ISOLATION will also be able to provide
names of those who are worthy of re-
ceiving these dinners to such persons,
church organizations and societies as are
inclined to provide them and do not know
where they would do the most good.

ANOTHER DENIURRAGE SUIT.
Santa Fe Sued by Grain and Lumber
Company.

A suit of far reaching Importance
was filed in the district court by E. D.
AIcKeever this morning for the Star
Grain and Lumber company of Wells
vile, Kan. against the Santa Fe rail-
road company; providing the aIlega-
tons in the petition are sustained and
that the plaintiff RECEIVERS on the
grounds upon which the suit is based
The action is brought under the re-
ciprOcal demurrage law passed a t the
last session of the legislature which
provides that the railroads in the state
must furnish cars on demand of their
patrons within less than three days
after the demand is made or become
liable for a demurrage charge of one
dollar per day for each car ordered and
are ordered in lots of less than ten.
The plaintiff seeks TO recover S4,471
from the railroad; about half of the
amount being for demurrage charges
where cars were not furnished within
the time specified by the law when
ordered by the petitioner. The re-
mainder of the amount claimed is for
damages sustained for the reason that
the cars were not furnished and thaS
the commodities to be shipped depre-
ciated in value during the interim.
The railroad has a rule that when a
car is not unloaded within three days
after 1t is placed at the disposal of the
consignee that he becomes liable to
the railroad company for one dollar
must be paid before the car is unload
ed, and the reciprocal demurrage law
provides a penalty for cars not fur
nished on demand Of a shipper where
a deposit OF one-fourth OF the freight
charges Is made.

Mr.. GATES IN TOPEKA.
What He Wanted Is yindication Not
Reappoinument-

A. G. Gates, who was recently dis
missed by E. E. Marshall, superinten-
dent of the state reformatory at
Hutchinson. from the position of chap
lain of the institution, is in Topeka to-
day, and may be here for some time.
There is to be a meeting of the man
aging board of the reformatory Tuesday
at Hutchinson, at which it is possible
the difficulty between Mr.. Gates and
superintendent Marshall will be in
vestigated.
Governor Hoch was asked today
whether Mr.. Gates had been to see
him.
NO" said the governor. 81 had a
talk with him over the telephone. but
the AFFAIR down there seems to be set
tied. at least for the present. There is
nothing new that he would be likely
to care to bring before me, as had a
long conversation with him some time
ago."
Mr.. Gates said today: II see that I
am charged with characterization AS a
minister OF the gospel, I resent such a
charge, and hope to have an OppOrtuni-
ty to show the true state Of affairs at
the Hutchinson Reformatory. am not
opposing any man or set OF men; am
opposing the whole tone Of the manage
ment of that institution. 1t is no bet
ter than the penitentlary, except that
there is a little more opportunity for
educational advancement of the inmates.
l believe that the school should be a
reformatory, as the name intimated 1t
is.
II make no allegations against Mr..
Marshall that I am unable to sustain.
1t is his plan, when he wants to get rid
of someone who disagrees with him, to
hound and harass that person until the
person resigns. That was what he tried
to do with me, but I felt it my duty, as
a Christian. to stand by my post until
/ was forced to leave 1t. Indignities
have failed to drive me away. I went
to Hutchinson at a salary Of $500. re-
fusing a salary of 81. 200 because be-
neved that there was work there at
Hutchinson which I could do, and 1
was anxious to get into Christian mis-
sionary work. I am not out of a job
now, 1 am not a candidate for reap
po1ntment- I would not accept reap
pointment under the present manage
ment. 1 have two positions open to me
at the present time, both of them pay
ing twice the salary I received at
Hutchinson.
The statement in the morning pa
pers that l am here to try to persuade
the governor to reappoint me is en-
tirely a mistake; I am not trying to
secure reappointment What 1 want is
to bring people to a realization of the
condition of the Hutchinson reforma-
tory. will say frankly that can talxa
fifty of the inmates out of their cells
and officer that institution better than
it is off1cered now, and when the time
comes I am prepared to prove that
statement"
