AFTER GOVERNMENT HELP.
Congressman Madison at Work to
Secure Benefits for West
ern Kansas.

\ A Washington Dispatch last Monday
)says:-Representative Madison, who dis.
tinguished himself early In his congress
sional career by taking up and pressing
successfully before the interstate COM
merce commission lower coal rates for
southwestern Kansas, | n conjunction
with the business mems associations Of
that section. is responsible for the chance
that portion Of the state has Of getting
more water, through tue government.
Judge Madison has been assured by
Dr.. +. II. Newell, chief Of the United
States reclamation service, that, In the
near future, probably early in the spring,
full investigation will be made as to
the feasibility of establishing project in
Grant and Haskell counties.
Being western Kansas man, and
having seen the wisdom and value of the
practical establishment Of the Garden
City project, Judge Madison thought
some day there should be another one In
that section. He knew the value OF such
aproject to the surrounding country, and
even to central Kansas as. a whole. His
attention was called to natural sink, or
basin, lying south Of Hartland, Kearney
county, almost on the Grant county line
Also 1t was brought to his attention that
there was a natural fall away from the
Arkansas river to the south. Taking
these two facts In conjunction, and forth
flying himself with topographic maps to
prove his contention, Judge Madison dl.
gestsd all the conditions and visited DR..
Newell. Bringing the matter to the con.
sideration Of that official, and urging ac.
ton upon him, 1t was not long before the
promise was made that an agent should
make q full and personal investigation Of
the situation with the view to determin-
Ing the feasibility Of the scheme.
The water may easily be impounded in
this natural sink, or basin, and dlstribut-
ed easily aud without great difficulty
through northern Haskell and Grant
counties. Taking the water frem the
Arkansas river, probably near Syracuse,
Hamilton county, 1t will be run into the
basin, impounded, and let to flow thence
toward Ulysses, Grant county, and OF
point direct to the east and irrigate lands
In Haskell and northern Grant Counties,
II Judge Madison's plans carry.

ishment, 10 now largely depleted, ow-
