WOULD SAVE
THE FLOODS
GENERAL MANAGER MoHLER HAS
PLAN TO KILL TWO BIRDS
WITH SAME STONE.
impounding Flood Waters of Kaw Riv-
er Would Prevent Destruction of
Property and Furnish Immense
Supply for Irrigation in Summer
Interesting Cheyenne Notes.

Vice President Mohler of the Union
Pacific has an original method of pre-
venting the foundations which occur
red at Kansas City along the Kaw
river in 1903, 1904 and again recurring
at the present time, says the Omaha
Bee. His plan is to establish flood
reservoirs on the Kaw and its princi.
pal tributaries.
In this way, when the Missouri, the
Kaw and the Platte all get on a ram
page at the same time" says Mr.. Mob
Ter, the flooding and undating of large
quantities of valuable land along the
Kaw river and its tributaries, and
many other cities of the state, could
be overcome by holding back this ex-
cessive flood water which now finds
its way very rapidly into the main ar
teries of the streams, largely through
a system of land drainage, SO material
ly different from what was the condi-
ton some thirty or forty years ago.
Used for Irrigation
These waters could be ~impounded,
then used for irrigation purposes by
some of the adjoining land owners at
a price, and would also furnish a num-
Der of artificial lakes in the state,
which would afford some pleasure and
would also provide water supplies in
the state, which could be absorbed by
solar process and rep%recipitated upoL
the lands which would not be directly
b4caGto. - ;-;rct;1- mkt 80 orr
would be a large undertaking, but
could be done by the state and federal
governments"

viii Grow Weeds.

To save $4,000 in wages and at the
same time control to some extent the
dust which troubles travellers is the
plan of NJ. ]. Buckley, general superin-
tenient of the Oregon Navigation,
who this year proposes to allow weeds
to grow along the tracks wherever it
is possible. Instead of keeping the
tracks clear of weeds by cutting them
with shovels, the section men are in
structed to allow them to grow, keep
ing them trimmed close to the rails
that they may not come in contact
with the wheels of the cars and cause
trouble.

Cheyenne Tribune Railroad Notes.

On account Of the great floods in the
Kaw valley, work has been stopped
on the tie preserving plant formerly
at Laramie and nov at North Topeka.
Kansas. Some fifteen or twenty lum
bermen who had been working at the
plant went through Cheyenne yester-
day to go to work again in the noun
tains.
The tie plant vas only temporarily
moved to Topeka, it being the inten-
ton to have it again established at
Laramie in the tall. On account of the
floods 1T may be moved west at an
earlier day.
Fruit Business Active.
The Union Pacific is beginning to
handle increasing quantities of Cali
fornia fruits, three trains having pass.
ed through Cheyenne today. Two hun
dred trains of fruit from the coast
have gone east over the Union Pacific
thus far this year.
Buford Pits Reopened.
The Buford gravel pits, which have
been inactive for several weeks, have
been reopened again and gravel is now
being moved to the Nebraska division.

viii Make Savings.

1t is estimated that the company
spends $40,O each year in cutting
weeds, and, incidentally, keeping soil
worked so that winds catch the dust,
and during hot weather enough of it
is carried along the rapidly-moving
trains to almost strange the passen-
gers. Wherever weeds have been al
lowed to grow dust has never trou-
bled, and this fact has caused Mr..
Buckley to try the experiment of al
lowing weeds and grass to cover the
ties, especially the soil at the ends
of the ties outside the rails.

Velvet Chaff Wheat Not Good
Farmers Who Sowed This Kind Of Grain Are Sorry
Elevator Pays From IA to 80 Cents a Bushel
Less for It--Seed Houses Recommend II

Farmers who bit on the advertise

sowed a kind Of wheat which was
guaranteed to yield enormously, are
now sorry that they did not stick to
the older and well known varieties.
The new wheat is what the milIers
have termed Velvet tChaf, and while
it looks like No. 1 hard wheat, 1t is
not fit for milling purposes and the
elevators are paying from fourteen to
thirty cents less a bushel for it than
for other varieties. The elevator men
themselves have a hard time to dis
tinguish the difference between this
wheat and the other grades, for it

HfSSfl HEARD FROM.
Is In the West for the
Benefit Of His
Health

Bra1nerd Dispatch, H.: VIM. Hessel
yesterday received a letter from his
father, John G. Hessel, the first word
received from him since November "a,
when he disappeared from st. Paul.
The letter, which was dated at Port
land, Oregon. December 4th, stated
that because Of his poor health he had
decided to take a western trip. having
made up his mind to so on half al
hours notice. He had written, he
SAID, from st. Paul, but if so, the
letter never reached his family. John
Hessel il. says this seems the more
probable to him, because letter
mailed at the hotel in st. Paul, where
his father stopped, and which he told
the clerk was important. did not reach
Bralnerd until three days after he
himself got home.
Mr. Hessel, in his letter, stated that
he was already feeling better than
when he left St. Paul and would stay
in the vicinity Of Portland for a few
days. after which he would go to some
other place and would write again
later He will probably spend the
winter in the west, as he has been
suffering badly with catarrh and
rheumatism for long time.
The family and his many friends
feel much relieved to know that Mr..
Hessel IS alive and safe, and hope that
few months entire rest from the
cares OF business may bring COM
plete return OF health and strength.

A Fascination Against Muek-raking Policy of Their Opponets.

The enthusiastic members of the

 NOTICE TO REPUBLICAN VOTERS | At a called meeting of the Taft Re publican club of Cast Grande. AriZ., the following proceeding were had: It coming to the knowledge of this club from reliable sources. that. cer- tain nominees of the democratic tick ct of Pinal county have started on a muckhake campaign, and are circulat- ing scandalous stories unsupported by evidence. by which reflections are cast on the good name of our standard bear CT, Ralph Cameron, and others of the county ticket, and considering it the duty of all self respecting voters re- gardless of party utilization to rebuke such action, we the members of this club, hereby
 Resolve, that we will vote the straight republican ticket: that we re- sent the imputation cast upon the in- telligent voters of Pinal county, and that by circulating such stories their votes could be influenced. We brand such methods as cowardly and vicious. and believe that he who would seek to ride into office by such methods is not entitled to the vote of any self respecting citizens, no matter what his political opinions are: and we further pledge ourselves to work collectively and individually to defeat the author of such campaign lies. Such persons are not entitled to hold office at the hands of the people.
 We hereby instruct the Secretary of this club to furnish each member of the Republican County Committee of Pinal county with a copy hereof. by them to be submitted to the members of the party in his precinct. and we ask their co-ODeration in an attempt to defeat any candidate who attempts a muckrake campaign, and thereby en- deavor to lift the politics of Pinal county from the garbage heap where it has rested many years.
