The report of the legislative inYesti-
eating committee on the affairs of tho
soldiers home, is generally looked up
on with favor inasmuch as it let's all
the parties concerned down as easily
as possible. DR.. Bentley, mayor Of Hot
Springs is satisfied with the report in
Il general way. He says the people OF
Hot Springs are indicated for Their
action in bringing charges against the
management of the institution"
But there is one point mentioned in
the report which will have to be
throshed out on the floor when the re
port comes up for adoption this morn
ing. 1t is the section stating eth T.
the expenditure of the sum of $4.67O.4S
Of the money appropriated for the re-
pains to the sewerage was wholly un-
authorized and illegal"
Previous to the construction OF the
present system the city of Hot Springs
notified the board of the home, that
their system was n nuisance and
a menace TO the general health of the
place, and something would have to
be done or it would be condemned. To
construct a new system for the neces-
q uiobuiNC vi ubOut al AlliG anu ~
quarter would have cost in the neigh
borhood of ST., 900. But the city made
the proposition that for a consideva-
ton of $4,000 the sewer of the home
would be connected with that of the
city and kept in repair as long as the
institution was maintained.
Attorney General Clark was con
suited and he approved of the plan
offered by Hot Springs and at his sug-
gestiOn the board accepted the city's
offer, and the deal was carried
through. Now the investigating COM
mittee says this action was "unauthor-
lied and Illegal"
Those directly interested in the mat
ter cannot figure out why the commit
tee thought it necessary to deal with
this problem at all. The board and
those about the home are satisfied amt
the city is willing to live up TO its
agreement. The former attorney gen
eral is in the capital and he will very
likely be called upon to explain to the
legislature exactly how the deal camc
about.

ALASKA LAND CLAIMS
Department of the Interior Finally Dis
allows Them.

The Cunningham Alaska land claims,
through which it was alleged that the
Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate planned
to extend it's vast interests in Alaska
and to control one of the most valua-
BILE coal fields in the world, were fl.
nally disallowed by the department of
the interior
Walter l.. Fisher, secretary of the
interior, having approved the depart
ment's decision, as handed down by
Fred bennett, commissioner Of the
land office, the last door is believed to
have been closed on the Cunningham
claimants. Their attorneys have
threatened to appeal to the supreme
court, but such an appeal can be based
only on some point of law involved
and not on the findings of fact as an
nounced by the department.

OWEN THINKS SPECIAL
SESSION IS NECESSARY

81 think that there are matters of
sufficient Importance aside from the
redistricting of the state into congress
sional districts to justify the calling
of a special session.
81 think very well, indeed, of the
plan editorially suggested in the Times
Democrat that delegates to the next
national convention should be men who
have been faithful party workers, but
who have not and are not now holding
office.
Il am very anxious that the people
of Oklahoma be given chance to ex-
press their own preference by pri-
mary vote on a choice for candidates
for president.
81 have not given the matter much
thought, but it would probably be a
good plan to have separate elections
in Oklahoma for state and county Off
GERS at one time and for federal Off
GERS at another. Senator Owen in

PUMPING FOR IRRIGATION
RECEIVING MUCH ATTENTION

Chicago, Ill., Sept. 15.-"Pumping for
irrigation is receiving much attention
in western Kansas" writes R. H. Fax
on, of Garden City, to the headquarters
of the National Irrigation Congress
here, "and because of the importance
of irrigation to this district you may
rest assured that we will be well rep
resented at the Chicago meeting De-
cember to g."
Kansas has always taken an active
part in the meetings of the irrigation
congress. Prof. E. H. Webster, of
Manhattan, is honorary vice president
for Kansas and Mr.. Faxon represents
the state on the executive committee.
Mr.. Faxon writes: "The government,
the state and Finney county combined
in a three-cornered arrangement for
the erection of a pumping plant, cost
ing upwards of $4,000, to test out prop
erly the feasibility of irrigation on our
uplands.
"In what is known as the Garden
City district, including Finney county
and portions of Kearney and Gray
counties, there are about $4,000 acres
under irrigation in the Arkansas val
ley of western Kansas proper. Lying
to the north is the shallow water en-
pire' of 100000 acres awaiting de-
velopment by pumping, with water ten
to twenty feet deep. Work on this has
already commenced.
"Of the $4,000 acres lying in the val
ley near Garden City, pumping, large
ly by private plants is the principal
means of irrigation We have been
fortunate indeed this summer in the
which has brought in several wells
from 40 to 100 feet deep, flowing from
1900 gallons per minute to $500. 1t is
estimated that well flowing 1900 gal
Ions per minute will easily take care
of 100 acres. We also have two large
private plants, one taking care of 800
acres and another of thousand acres,
as we'll as the United Sugar & Land
Co, with it's producer gas plant, trans
mission line and pumps serving 5000
acres"
Pumping for irrigation is attracting
increased attention and bringing graft
flying results also n Oklahoma, New
Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and other
western states.
