START AT CIMARRON
Alfalfa Farmers Ready to Turn Water on the
Fields and Double the Yield Of Crop

A clear stream Of water about thir
ty feet wide, is flowing through Cim
arron, adding pretty touch to thai
clean and thriving looking town. II
looks like running stream Of spring
water that nature had provided, and
one passing might think that the wis
dom OF the founders OF the town had
located the site by reason Of the
streams presence. This stream is a
part Of the Eureka ditch, which is
supplied from the underfow, and
brought down from west Of Ingalls,.
West OF Cimarron, large alfalfa fields
now have laterals leading to them
from the ditch, aud the fields them
selves are diiched and ready for ir-
rigation. The only step to be taken
now is bringing the conduits under
the Santa Fe tracks, and then the
water will be turned upon the fields.
The contracts have been signed for
the water rights and the water is
running by now and going to waste.
There are some splendid fields Of al
falfa in that locality, but they are los
ing ground now. With the water on
the fields the alfalfa will thicken and
grow rank again. Every crop will be
heavier, and there will be at least one
more crop each year BY reason Of ir-
rigation. The valley between Ingalls,
and Cimarron will be a kingdom that
will be the envy Of oil who see it un
der the lew order OF things. The
Cimarro country will grow, bloom
and prosper. The writer looked over
the country there few days ago. It
is a pretty country now, but it will be
far prettier and richer in the future.
What country we can m axe Of
this valley from Ingalls, TO Dodge
City, and even much farther down

George Jean Nathan. in Harper's
Weekly. After many years of the
study of railroading in its numerous
phases he states. Il came to the con
cIusion about eight months ago that
enc of the greatest weaknesses in the
railroad working systems of this coun-
try was their failure to consider or

Of that huge body of travellers who are
termed idiots because of the questions
they ask of conductors. ticket SeHers,
agents. station men, porters, etc, ana
because of their actions coincident
with these questions.
Thousands of the class that are
commonly known as fools are daily
patrons of the railroads. To humor
them and please them is the only way,
am sure, of winning their regular
patronage. To illustrate the idea with
greater concreteness, let us take the
case of one of these alleged fools as IL
has been treated heretofore. A highly
nervous young woman is travelling
alone from New York to Chicago. As
she is nearing her destination she asks
the conductor if he is sure her rather
will be at the station to meet her "A
year ago the conductor would undoupt-
edly have gaSped and assured the
young person that he did not have the
slightest idea whether her parent would
be there or not. Result: the girl would
become worried. would not enjoy her
trip over our road as much as she
might have enjoyed it otherwise, would

on her arrival and probably another
road subsequently might win her pat

young woman herself would express IT.
The object OF the fool school, is to
deal with this girl and with the thou
sands of other persons like her
IF the girl in question today asks the
conductor if her father is going to meet
her on her arrival the man in the OF
