hard task before him. When the re-
public was proclaimed in October,
1910, a provisional government was
established and. beset by reactionary
tendencies on every side, It found diff
ficulties In maintaining itself. The
monarchists were active in undermin-
ing its stability and many OF the re-
publicans who aided in the overthrow
of the monarchy became lukewarm in
their support Of the republic because
disappointed in obtaining the sweets
of political Office.
Not long since the National Assem-
bly, chose new president and adopted
a constitution. The choice for presi-
dent, DR.. Arriaga, is popular. but
whether this popularity will. remain
after he is in Office long enough to
make enemies is another question.

MAY NOT DRAIN BASIN.
The Farmers Organized and Protested
Against 1t.

Mcpherson, Kan, March 20.-The
famous big Basin Mcpherson coun-
tvs swamp, may not be drained after
all. There has developed an opposi-
ton among a number of farmers and
an injunction may follow an attempt
to drain the basin.
The Big Basin of Mcpherson county
is famous over the state. 1t is one of
the greatest duck hunting places in
Kansas. Hundreds of acres of good
land are under this swamp water and
it was decided by owners of the place
to dram off this water and utilize the
land.
But the farmers above the sand hills
and who live in the lowlands between
BUTLER and Inman do not want the
Big Basin drained. The plans were to
drain it into Blaze fork and these
farmers say that if this is done, it will
result in a flood spreading over their
lands.
To this end they are forming an as
ISOLATION and will resist any attempt
to use that creek for an outlet of the
lakes in the basin southeast of In
man.

MUST RAISE SOME MONEY.
Lyons Must Pay Up $4,000 Cash to
Get Salt Plant.

Lyons Must Pay Up $4,000 Cash to
Get Salt Plant.
Lyons, Kan, March 2O.-If Lyons
secures the salt plant of the new
Lyons Salt company, the town must
advance $4,000.
This is virtually a request for the
donation of a site, as the company
now has an option on 20 acres of
land at the junction of the Missouri
Pacific and Frisco tracks south of
town, for $4,000. This plan is radical
ly different from that of the recent
railroad offer, and others made in the
past, in that not a dollar is to be paid
until the plant is in actual operation.
Another provision is that the bonus
does not become due until January L,
1912. and if the plant is not in opera
ton by that date, the bonus is null
and void.
The combination" plant, the only
one of its kind in the country, will
have a capacity of 35 cars per day,
will handle lump and crushed salt,
manufacture barrel, sack and table
salt, and will cost complete, approx
mately $145,OO0. 1t is proposed to
have it in operation within the next
six months.
