present time the flames reach higher

The well first came into existence
Immediately following the earthquake
Of 1911, which played havoc with GER

Samuel White for water purposes, and
when the phenomenon appeared the
fixtures covering it were blown so far

At times during the past three
quarters of a century the light from

The ditch will be large enough to
handle all the water that Colorado
does not use for irrigating. In nor
NAL years water enough goes by to
irrigate tens of thousands of acres.
In times Of great flood, or even the
ordinary floods of December and
June, the river runs nearly half Il
mile wide and ten feet deep. With a
fall of seven feet to the mile. it can
be readily seen that a vast volume Of
water runs down to the gulf.
All this water spread over the fer
tile uplands would be producing
wealth. instead Of destroying it as
at present.
The ordinary flood water would be
sufficient to winter irrigate thorough
~ a strip fifteen miles wide from the
state line to Kinsley. Government
tests have proved that winter irriga-
ton is of vastly greater benefit in
country like this than is summer
watering Having an average rain
fall of nineteen inches, mostly in the
growing season, by thoroughly soak
ing the ground in the winter and
then following proper methods of cul-
tivation. the farmer will be assured
of good crops every year.
When this ditch is constructed and
in operation. it will benefit not only
the river counties. but also the tier
next north, including Greeley. Wichita
and Scott. These counties will neces-
sarily receive some Of the water.

The Presentation.

There is a Washington physician
who numbers among his patients his
sister-in-law, who is something of a
hypochrondriac.
Recently she sought out the doc
tor. to whom she confided her opinion
that, in her present condition. she
ought to try Hot Springs for treat
ment.
The very thing" AGREED the doctor.
Il was thinking of that myself I'll
give you a letter to an Old friend Of
mine there. a most skillful physician,
and / have no doubt he'll take every
care of you"
The next day. as the patient sat in
her Pullman, thinking it over. it &C
CURED to her that. as long as her
brother-in-law had attended her, he
had never given her any precise
statement of her real ailment. Ac
cordingly she decided to open the
sealed letter which he had addressed
to the Hot Springs doctor. in order
that she might gain the desired in
formation. The friend who accom-
panied her endeavored to dissuade her
from the step. urging that it would
constitute a breach of confidence, but
this counsel proved of no avail, and

Rats, Gas and Books

The rats which have been giving
such trouble at the Leeds public Ii
brary are only bearing out their an
Gent reputation as enemies of books.
Our Manchester public library fortu-
nately has never been greatly trou-
bled by rats. although there have
been milder incursions of mice. Rats
love scraps of old leather binding
and soft old paper to line their nests
with In a glass case in the chapter
house at Westminster you may see
some antique rat bones and yellow
bits of paper. This is their history:
Two centuries ago a family of rats
made their nests in a hole in the
wall of the Dean and Chapters Ii
brary, lining it with plumber from
the books. The rats were walled up
alive, and their remains were only
discovered a few years ago.
In Manchester gas has proved
far worse enemy Of books than rats.
Thousands of leather bindings on the
higher shelves at King street have
been ruined-crumbled to the con-
sistency of snuff by the sulphur in
the gas laden air. Gas attacks Rus
STA bindings first; calf and morocco
suffer not quite so badly. In the

hbraries) gas is now superseded by

mark a crisis in Great Britain's naval
history. Quite certainly it will arouse

Its effect was electrical. Immedi-

called of house members representing

situation thus Unexpectedly revealed

was reached, but the speeches showed
that little more will be heard of

concerned. on the contrary, it seems
the government will be strongly urged
by the majority of its own party to
make the conditioner program for
additional Dreadnaughts an absolute
building program. 1t is estimated that
thirteen German Dreadnaughts and
four Invincibles might be completed by
1911, as against twelve Dreadnaughts
and four Invincibles which Great
Britain would have in 1911. If Ger
many accelerated her construction
work she would have seventeen of
these ships by April. 1912.
McKenna said he considered the
maintenance of superiority depended
upon the superiority in Dreadnaughts
alone. Premier Asquith admitted the
grave Importance of the debate and
deprecated the idea that the govern
ment might sacrifice national safety
to a question of expediency.

The Schubert Company
Visits the Petrified Forest
From the Argus.

The members of the Schubert
symphony Company left here
early Tuesday morning on visit
to that wonder of wonders, the
Petrifed Forest. They were fully
supplied with fine rigs from the
two livery stables, and the GER
tainly enjoyed the trip from start
to finish. Among the sights not
down on the bill was a full grown
mountain lion close to the road.
He was a fine specimen of his
kind, and as there was not gun
in the entire party, and as the
driver did not care to go up to
him and take him by the neck
and choke HIM to death, as this
would have been cruilty to ami
mails, the lion was allowed to
keep on his way unmolested.
Farther on, the king wolf, great
lObO himself was seen While eX-
ploring the forest one of the
young ladies of the party slipped
and fell into the arms of Mr.
Hathorn who manfully with
stood the shock.

have travelled through every
state and territory of the union,
they are competant tojudge, and
