SMOKES OUT TAX DODGERS.
Atchison Assessor Is on Trail o
Wealthy Delinuuents.

Atchison, Kan, Aug. 3.-Are the
rich tax dodgers of Atchison coun-
ty responsible for the high rate of
taxes? According to the statement
made by a man, who has access to the
facts, more than 100000 assessable
property was covered up by rich tax
dodgers this year.
Last Monday an AtchisOn man who
originally had turned in but a few
thousand dollars, "acceded" to the
county assessors request and added
$4,000 to his return. County Attorney
Moxcey has been called in to assist in
the work of smoking OUT the tax
dodgers. It is said that warrants for
the arrest of several rich Atchison men
have been issued and unless their tax
returns are corrected and given in full
the warrants will be served.
At the next meeting of the county
commissioners the assessor expects to
make a report of an investigation
which probably will result in the turn
ing in of S20o, 900 tax valuations which
had been covered up by tax dodgers.

PECOS PLANS FOR
NOVEL IRRIGATION
To Make Lakes by Pumping
Wells Conservation
Is the Plan.

Pecos, Texas, July 20.-At meeting
OF the Commercial club of this city the
plan Of Col Exal, of Dallas, president
of the Texas Industrial congress, for
impounding water for lakes, to be
used for irrigating. stock and utility
purposes, was unanimously endorsed.
Supt- Stewart, director Of the Pecos
irrigated experiment station, stated
that he considered it of vast import
ance to conservation through Texas,
and especially in west Texas and New
Mexico. Here in the flowing well dis
trfct, wells could be put down which.
after being turned into an artificial
lake, would make for great progress
and Identification. 1t is estimated that
three wells. flowing 1900 gallons of
water per minute, would, fill reser-
voir large enough to make a lake $50
yards wide by 1000 yards long eight
feet deep. in six months, figuring evap-
Grafton at Is percent It is very pos
sible that such a lake will be put down
near this city for the beginning of
city park.
The idea advanced by Col Exal1 that
lakes of this kind will increase the
rainfall and otherwise assist in agri-
cultural development. is not new
one, but he Is the first man in Texas
