men and 1910 teams to be used in the
Kansas harvest fields during the com.

WEALTH FROM THE FARM.

A writer for one of the large maya
zines has been compiling figures on
the production of the American farm
err. The result has been most sur.
prising, but it shows how really i'm
portant a factor the farmer is In our
national industrial life. The Ameri.
can farmer and his product In some
shape form al important element 10
every national industry, IN element
that it would be impossible to elimi.
nate. Upon the success Of the Ameri.
can farmer depends the success Of all
other tradesmen.
We read columns about our indus
tries, our inventions, our professions,
but little is said about our farms, eX.
cept in the magazines devoted to agri-
culture. So people do not realize how
important the American farmer is.
The figures, which have been compiled
seem staggering, yet they are correct,
They show, says an exchange, that the
American farmer earns enough every
seventeen days to buy out Stands arc
Oil, and enough every fifty days te

convention years the republicans
again deserted the great city on Lake
Michigan's shore, but in 1904 the con.
vention sat in Chicago, nominating
Theodore Roosevelt.
OF the six candidates nominated at
Chicago by the republican party all
but one have been elected. Blaine
was the only candidate who failed to
win. Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Har-
rison and Roosevelt were sent to the
White house by way OF Chicago. Five
triumphs out of six trials make an
excellent showing for Chicago as a
lucky place for the launching Of pres
idential nominees.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 10. About
1000 persons have been driven from
their homes in North Topeka by the

portion found shelter in Topeka

been opened to them. No loss of life
Is reported, but there has been much

WOULD PREVENT o o

The unprecedented floods that have
visited Montana localities that are
tributary to the Missouri river, give
an approximate idea Of the damage
frequently resulting from similar dis
asters in other parts of the country.
The story Of ruinous damage by floods
comes with each recurring year, no
adequate provision having been made
for the protection OF property exposed
to the menace of food waters from
the larger streams.
The prevention of floods is discussed
in the report of the Inland Waterways
commission, which contains the out.
line of one of the greatest engineering
undertakings ever proposed; an I'm.
dertaking which co%ntemplates nothing
less than the control OF the waterhow
of all of the rivers of the United
States.
This astounding plan, which was
drawn by Chief photographer Nj. O..
Leighton of the United States geolog-
ical survey, provides for the regula.
ton of stream flow in such q manner
as to prevent the present destructive
annual floods and at the same time to
insure q given minimum navigation
depth to each stream during all sea-
sons. 1t proposes to accomplish this
so that it will pay q reasonable direct
interest on the investment while open.
ing q new era of development in the
regions affected.
The great achievement is to be
brought about by building storage
reservoirs near the headwaters of
streams, governing the sources OF
their water supply. These reservoirs
are designed to supplement the nat
ural storage of the forests which re.
main in such watershed regions as
the Appalachians and about the
headwaters of the Mississippi. Such
a plan, If adopted, will change the
whole course of river Improvement as
heretofore carried on by the govern
ment. dredging and the building OF
levees would be done away with. In.
stead the reservoirs would keep back
in food times the waters Of the Ohio,
the upper Mississippi and Missouri,
and the other streams OF the great
Mississippi system. The water thus
held back would lower the stream be.
low the danger mark. Later, when
the danger of flood had passed, the
stored waters would be discharged,
maintaining the navigability OF the
stream through the dry season.
The cost of such a reservoir system
adequate to regulate the streams in
the Ohio basin is estimated ut $l25,-
600 200. TO regulate the whole Mis-.
sissippi valley in this would
cost, it is estimated, $500, DOC, 900. The
money that would be saved from other
expenditures and the prevention Of
damage by flood would more than
Offset the estimated cost of such a
system, but more than that it would
bring into the treasury q direct cash
return in the sale of water power for
industrial use.
This gigantic undertaking may not
be attempted in the immediate future,
but it will surely be accomplished in
course Of time. The impounding of
noodwaters would furnish q source OF
supply for irrigation projects that
have not yet been considered, Ia ad-
dition to the power that would be
generated for industries that will de.
velop in future years. The flood
problem will undoubtedly be solved
by American engineering skill and
enterprise.

PLANS DEATH WITH CARE.

The dead body OF an unknown for
eigner, evidently Pole or Huugar-
ian. was found hanging from coal car
In the rear OF the ID. u. X. barns on
Harper-ave., early Monday morning.
Evidence was not wanting that the
man had committed suicide. and the
plans were carried out with GOODNESS
and great care.
He first removed the shoe laces
from his shoes, and with these and his
red bandana handkerchief he formed
rope, which he tied into loop. Then
he removed coupling pin from the
car. and damned 1t into the coal so
that It remained firmly Embedded
Placing one end Of the loop over the
coupling pin, the other about his
neck. he jumped into eternity. When
found the bocy was cold and stiff and
|it is supposed he had been hanging for
several hours.
The man was about 35 years of age,
weighed 40 pounds, and was feet
9 inches tall. Coroner Parker, who
was called, said the man had evident
| ly died by his own hand. He ordered
| the body removed To the county
morgue.
