According to the figures published
In the LEADER this week the tax pay
ers OF Lincoln county have paid near
ly $45, 900 In taxes during the past ten
years that should have been paid by
the railroads running through this
county. The principal work Of the
Kittredge machine has been to pro-
tect the railroads and make the other
fellows pay taxes for the railroads.
~, 900 Is q nice sum OF money and
that Is what 1t has cost our tax pay
ers to keep Kittredge In the machine
chair and still there are men In this
county who are willing to be robbed
some more.

Principle. pride and self govern
ment should be the first duty Of every
citizen. Mr.. Kittredge may profess
publicly that he is now a reformer,
but who will or can believe him in
the face OF his corporation record. He
Is willing to sacrifice everything and
anybody to get reelected to the Sc
nate for six years in order that he
may bask at the feet Of the corpora
tion millionaires. We expect him to
announce o that he always favored
q primary law. Trust no man to re-
present you now who has not an anti
corporation record.

by Gov. Cummins. The governors

The glorious work Of reform along
R~ooseveltian lines is gaining strength
from day to day. No n believes
Kittredge Is converted to progressive
policies. The gang that is helping
him shout reform; are known to be
allies and agents OF the corporations
and Kittredge is certainly n OF
them.

The corporation hackers OF the big
boss must have q poor opinion OF the
patriotism and pride OF our people to
believe they would turn against re-
form and seek corporation masters.
The people of South Dakota are pro-
gressive and assume the right to gov
ern themselves and make their own
Laws. They want no political bosses
or corporation masters.

Mr.. Tax Payer, please study the above IA statement furnished and
verified by County Auditor Kundert and State Auditor Hirning, as provided
by law, and O will readily understand what becomes of the money you pay
for axes, Note the amount paid for state axes, county. township, school,
town and village and at the bottom the Irvine plant TAX You will note
also that the statet ax is much lower for 1907 than for 1906 o 1908. You
will also observe that the railroads pay over 81, GOO more in taxes for 1907 than
they ever paid before, also proving that the people have paid for the rail.

1T will be observed that the rail-
road tax for 1907 under the Crawford
administration has increased amaz-
1ngly. The old machine protected
the corporations and made the people
put up for the railroads since state

machine back in power.

surface the wells are connected by six foot tunnels. Ten inch pipes extend down into the wells to depth of thir- ty-six feet and are all joined in the middle well at the bottom of a twenty two foot pump pit in itself a sort of double compartment shaft. on one side of which the pump is located and on the other the well. The pump is a Byron Jackson No. 10 centrifugal es- pecialiy built for high efficiency The pump is suspended in the pit from huge framework on the surface carry ing a vertical shaft connecting with the pump and having at the top a pulley by means of which power is communicat- ed from a sixty horse power Fairbanks Morse distilled engine. The water is drawn from all three wells at the same time The plan was designed to pump .e50 miners inches a minute. The nor maj water level is twenty feet below the surface and consideration was talk en of the lowering of the level to a the pump. The lowering has so far amounted to about thirteen feet
 The water is discharged through a sixteen inch pipe into a cement bay whence it runs into the canal. a min iature river. More than 250 inches a minute has been accomplished so far so that for every minute the plant has been in operation a stream amounting to 5000 gallons has poured forth.

NEW PUMPING PLANT
 OF H0MECR0FI VILLAGE
The Water Pouring Forth in a Stream of 5000 Gallons a Minute.

Not much has been heard lately of the Phoenix Homecroft Village Coop erative Industrial Association but all the time something has been doing there. The land comprising l60 acres has just been assured of an ample wa pie water supply, through a pumping plant which was put in operation for the first time day before yesterday.
 The negotiations for the plant were begun last August between William Buckingham of Fairbanks Morse & Co and C. A. Broomell the assistant secretary and resident agent of the as- sociatiOn. The machinery was deliver ed on the ground on January 7th and under the direction of Frank J. Reu- land the erector of the engine com- pany, it was put in place according 10 detailed plans by MT. Buckingham.
 There are three wells of an average depth of 125 feet. fifty feet apart in a north and south line. Each of the wells has a twelve inch casing and at a depth of twentytwo feet below the

ADJUSTMENTS

Theater gOers who are particular as to the form of entertainment they se- lect, can find no attraction more pleas ing than Elmer Walters western play "A Thoroughbred Tramp" which is the next attraction at the Doris The ater, Friday, Jan. 30. While the play is not bOasted of an a literary gem. it is decidedly novel in construction, the pathetic scenes are of interest and so well played as to bring tears to the majority. The climaXes are of a dra- matic nature. though comedy predomi- mates throughout the four acts. The third act has been altered, the scene now being laid at the mouth of Box Canyon. This is unique act with a fast moving train of huge proportion. The action is lively and holds the au- dience spell bound until the climax, when the curtain calls are frequent.

Arizona republican., 1908-01-30

The plant was operated for the first time day before yesterday for five hours and yesterday morning at ten o'clock it was started up again By two o'clock in the afternoon several acres of land which had no water this season had been flooded.
 A remarkable feature of the plant is the absence of vibration. Before the machinery was put in motion a small steel nail was stood on it's head on top of the curved surface of the cylinder and yesterday afternoon it was still standing in Nhat precarious position.
 The fuel is supplied from a small tank near the engine by means of an oil pump. A 1000 gallon reserve fuel tank is ready to be installed from which the distillate will be discharged by gravity into the operating tank
 A constant stream of water is drawn through a pipe from the cement bay and runs about the cylinder jacket to cool it and is discharged through an- other pipe back into the bay.
 The wells will get better from use Just now great deal or sand is be- ing drawn out and after awhile only the coarser gravel will be lett. admit ting a freer flow into the wells. But in any event there is no possibility of a shortage of the supply. It is also altogether unlikely that the level of the water will ever be lower than it was yesterday afternoon though in the original calculations a lower level by ten feet was anticipated.
 As is well known the HOmecroft en- terprise was promoted by George H. Maxwell who by the way has been ex- peoted here from Chicago for several days
