LIGHT PLANT PAYS
Clay Center Learns Many I'M
prOvementS Are Planned.
City Will Become One of Kan
sas' Best Lighted Ones.

Clay Center, Kan, Dec. 23.-For five
years Clay Center has owned its city
waterworks system. After a municipal
controversy Clay Center installed a mu-
nicipal electric lighting system, not
only to light the streets, but also to
sell current for power and lighting
purposes. With the installation of the
plant, a utilities commission, composed
of three of the business men of Clay
Center, was appointed. 1t has had COM
plete charge of both the waterworks
and electric light plant ever since.
Without making special investigation
Clay Center people knew that the utili-
ties were doing we'll in a financial way.
improvements were often made around
the plant, extensions were made to the
Waterworks system, two new pumps at
a cost of about $4,000 were bought and
installed and about a year ago $4,000 of
the electric light bonds were paid off.
Tt was only this week, however, that
the town really knew to what extent
the plants were successful.
The details were revealed this week
when the utilities. commission ANNOUNCE
ed they intended to make Clay Center
one of the best lighted small towns in
Kansas. The commission proposes to
install 43 electric light posts, each post
with FIVE bright lights at its top,
around the business portion of Clay
Center In a town the size of Clay
Center, the business section is not
large, So the 43 electTolfers will light
the business section well. In the resi-
dence part of town, lights will be placed
at every street intersection.

James w. Orr, of Atchison, who has
just returned from a conference OF
national Democratic leaders in New
York, is a firm believer that President
elect Woodrow Wilson will give kan
sas a place on his cabinet. This POSI-
tion-the office of secretary of agr1cul-
ture-Will go to President ]. h. wa
tiers, of tie Kansas State Agricultural
college, or to T. D. Coburn, secretary
of agriculture, according to the theory
advanced by Orr.
You can take it from me- declared
the well known Atchison Democrat,
that Kansas is just as sure TO lano
a place on Wilson's cabinet as-wel as
anything can be certain in politics.
Mr.. Wilson asked me a lot about both
Mr.. Coburn and Mr.. Waters. When
he asked me what Coburn'S politics
was, L confess L was stumped for
moment. Then / told him 1T was more
wheat and corn per acre. Mr.. Wilson
appeared interested in learning more
about Mr.. Corburn and Mr. Waters. l
don't pretend to say who will be ap-
pointed as secretary of agriculture, out
it will be a Kansan."
Orr who was greatly pleased with
the result of his conference with the
Democratcic leaders and president
elect, suddenly declared;
II found Mr.. Wilson to be the Pro-
gressive Democrat the people of Kan
sas believed him to be when they cast
their votes for him. He talks a Ian
guage strangely familiar to that used
in Kansas" concluded Orr.
Kansas has never had a place on a
presidents cabinet and now Orr returns
from New York with the news that he
is certain the state is to score-and

Captain Barr of the steamer and all
his men reached shore after the YES
sci struck, but the lofty, inaccessible
cliffs of St. Shots prevented their
the northwest gale, made it impossible
to remain there and all hands We're
obliged to put back to the ship, which
was pounding heavily.
CAPTAIN Barr felt confident the wind
would go down, but Second Mate J.
EIedley volunteered to take four men
in one of the ships boats and seek q
more favorable landing place further
along the coast. In the heavy seas
then running, the captain was unwill-
ing to risk more lives and gave his
consent to the second mates expedi-
ton with reluctance.
With great difficulty, Hedley piloted
his small boat along the coast until he
saw a break in the rugged line of cliffs.
Pointing the nose of the boat directly
into the surf. he avoided the outlying
rocks and on the crest OF a great break
er ran his craft in without being upset.

sucked back by the undertow, the

mate and his four men dragged their
boat up the beach out of reach of the
sea and made their way back along the
cliff to where the steamer lay.
The wind and sea in the meantime
had increased. The combers broke
continually over the decks of the ves-
sci, which was grinding heavily on the
jagged rocks. Hedley and his men
searched in vain for some path by
which the cliff might be scaled or the
crew of the Florence helped. The
coast in that vicinity was uninhabited.
The few fishermen's huts were de-
Sc ted for the winter and Hedley had
to take refuge for the night in one of
these abandoned shacks.
At daybreak Hedley found the wind
had been steadily increasing. Hurry
ing back to the point off which the
Florence lay, he could see no sign of
the steamer. Considerable of her
cargo of lumber was floating along the
shore but no small boats were visible.
The five survivors made a long and
thorough search along the shore for
their shipmates, but no trace of them
was to be found. Then they started
for st. Shots, the nearest inhabited
place, several miles distant. Two of
them were so exhausted from cold and
exposure that they had to be assisted.
These two were left at st. Shots to
recuperate, while the others pushed
on to Trespassey, whence they sent
word of the disaster to this city. They
are not expected to arrive here before
the middle of the week.

SAVED The TREES
Woman Raises S7,564.SO Worth
of Fruit.
Trees, Sentenced to Death,
Yield Fine Fruit.

Manhattan, kan, Dec. 23.-One KAN
sas woman, at least, did not depend on
her husband for Christmas spending
money Mrs Frank Kotsch, of Troy
manager of the Frank Kotsch fruit
farm, cleared $7,564.SO this year from
25 acres of apples and Is acres of ber-
ries. The gross receipts for the pro-
ducts of the 43 acres were more than
$12 900, but $1,753 was paid for help in
picking and marketing the berry crop,
and $2,596.75 went to the men she hired
to pick, pack and market the 1896 bar
rels of apples. Also. $212.s3 was spent
for spraying the orchard four times,
for Mrs. Kotsch believes in spraying
now And thereby is suspended tale.
Frank Kotsch is treasurer Of Doni-
phan county, and, therefore, hasn't
much time to give to the science of
fruit growing So Mrs. Kotsch, for
the last two or three years, has been
in charge of the fruit farm. She is the
general manager; he the advisory
board. Two years ago the general
manager looked at her crop Of wormy,
scrawny and scabby apples and decid-
ed to cut out the entire orchard. IN
sects and apple diseases were so strong
" intrenched that the orchard looked
hopeless It had never been sprayed.

But the death sentence on those 1000
trees was never carried out. An en-

Kotsch farm and pleaded for the lives
of the trees. The orchard was ill., he
said. All it needed was spray. and
lots of it. With her permission he
would spray the orchard himself and
prove his statement. She agreed. But
frost killed most of the buds the next
vear-1911-~o the WELD was small,
though at that the profits that wear
were more than the year previous
which had been a good year for fruit.
In 1912 the college man again took
charge of the spravine in the Kotsch
orchard. This orchard was one of Is
in which the college conducted spray
ing tests. The 1000 trees were sprayed
four times with arsenate of lead and
1ime-sulphur.
The result was croD of big red ap-
pies such as never before had been

with thanks. Science, they agree, Is
quite wonderful.

ROMANCE IN COURT
Suit Over Larry McLain'S
Ranch BareS Love Affair.
Love BegOtten Son Wants His
Fathers Estate.

Winfield, Kan, Dec. 23.-To establish
himself as the son of the late Harden
McLain and thereby become the heir
to an estate is the object of the suit of
Walter Wolford McLain, of Greenwood
county, KY, now on trial in the Cow
lev county district court. The first
named defendant is the brother, the
others nephews of Harden McLain.
The estate at issue is a large ranch
q few miles south of Grand Summit,
and lies partly in Cowley and partly In
Chautauqua counties. Harden McLaln
died in Winfield about two years ago
His brother and nephews claimed his
estate. Walter McLain, declaring him
self the son of Harden McLain, made
a deed to the land to A. T. Sims, of
Grenola Sims, John D. McLoad and 1.
r. Benest, also of Grenola. are helping
the claimant in the suit to establish his
parentage.
The story brought out by the testf-
mony reads like a romance.
Southern Romance Is Told.
Thirty-five years ago, in Galloway
county, KY, Harden McLain wooed a
voung woman who loved, not wisely,
but too well,'' it is charged. A son was
born to her. In a suit in the Kentucky
courts she accused McLain, who was
adjudged to be the father of her child,
and ordered to pay for its support for
twelve years. McLain did so, it was
The laws of Kansas differ from those
of other states except Iowa in cases of
this sort The question of legitimacy
does not enter into the question OF IN
heritance. The defense tried to show
that the law of Kentucky, where wal
ter McLain was born, was different, but
the court 4-eld it mt material in this
case. since the deceased was for many
wears a resident of Kansas and his es-
tate was situated here.
In the trial, which has occupied the
attention of the Cowley county district
court for the last three days, witnesses
from Galloway county, KY, have tes-
tilted. some -rsonal1y and others by
depositions. that the Kentucky COM
Jnunity in which Harden McLain and
the woman lived was very much
wrought up about the affair at the
time.
He Went Back Home.
Smarting under the odium McLain
came West. He lived in Winfield for
a. number of years in the SOS, and then
went back to his old home In Ken

inc he could not live down rumors of
the past he came back to Kansas and
purchased the ranch south of Grenola,

Two of McLain's witnesses are Judge
Eupton Thompson and T. Q. White,
both of Galloway county, Ky. Judge
