ENGINEER TRAYLOR'S IDEA

Various different parties, in the
past twenty or thirty years have
figured, and dreamed about methods
Of raising the underfow Of the
Arkansas river. The Globe Re.
publican, under its present manage
ment. has published the plans Of
two different men, who have believed
that they have solved the question
Whether they had or not, will prob.
ably never be known. It would
have cost a million dollars Of good
money to have tested either one Of
these methods and no one furnished
the money for the tests.
Mr.. Traylor, young engineer Of
Colorado, has been working upon
the problem Of the Arkansas under
flow for the past year. His idea is
to build we'll Of fifty feet in width
and about two miles in length. The
we'll to be sunk in the bed of the
river, so that the underfow would
raise to several feet at the east end
Of the well; the well to be walled
with cement slabs which would be
perforated sufficiently to let the
water flow through. The bottom ol
the well being on level, the fall oi
the river would give q greater depth
Of the water at the west end and add
to the force Of the natural fall To
move the water eastward. The
details Of the plan can not be explain
ed here but as said before that part
Of il 10 the business Of the engineer
and bis company. MIR, Traylor
claims that there is nothing vision.

ment. In the "Balmy" days, the
entertainment was often strenuous,
sensational, thrilling. Later it was
tanner, but the inhabitants almost to
the present have insisted upon being
entertained. When everything else
has failed, many people in Dodge
City have entertained themselves by
abusing Gluck. It has furnished re-
creation. for them, and Mr.. Gluck
says that it has not hurt him, SO
where's the harm. It might puzzle a
new conner. Time and again q new
citizen might have lived here for say
three weeks, and in that time have
heard volums of abuse Of A. Gluck.
At the end Of that time he would
attend public meeting. When it
came to electing officers, and there
were funds to trust to some ones
keeping, the first person mentioned
for that trust would be A. Gluck,
also the last one. This fact has no
doubt often puzzled new conner.
Gluck is often pointed out to
newcomer as "man who used to be
mayor, and was impeached." "In-
deed, says the newcomer. Who
followed Gluck?" "Oh, he was
elected again. Ran against one OF
the most popular men that ever lived
here, and was elected almost
unanimously" And the new conner
is more puzzled than ever. when he
is informed that Gluck made bully
mayor.
A good many have lost track OF
why Gluck was impeaceed, when he
was mayor the first time. Some have
even forgotten how it came that they
voted for him the second time.
They tell you now that Gluck was
put out Of office because Dodge City
was q saloon town, and technically,
that is true. But that is far from
the real reason for the proceedings
being brought against Gluck at that
time. The fact is, that Dodge City
was overwhelmingly Jan open town,
then and for many years after. It
got started that way and it took years
to live il down. 1t was open under
Gluck, and the others who were
mayors. 1t would have been "open"
if You had been mayor. Other
mayors back in those times could
have been ousted just as easy as
Gluck was, because saloons were
licensed in Dodge City up to four or
five years ago.
It was because Of Hutchins that
Gluck was impeached. "Hutch"
was a man who drank whiskey, while
Gluck didn't. Clutch" was big, and
a bulldozer. clutch" refused to pay
his occupation tax, and Gluck as
mayor, insisted that all be treated
alike. "Hutch" threatened, but
