IRRIGATION SCHEME WINS.
Now 10000 Acres of Kansas Land
Will Be Watered.

viii Be Watered.
Dodge City, Kan, May 2-The ir-
rigation question has finally been
solved in this section in a most thor
ough manner. Since the early sos
the Gilbert brothers, the original pro-
motors of the old Eureka Irrigation
company, have talked and dreamed
irrigation for a territory in western
Kansas extending about 100 miles
west of this place, but they have not
succeeded until recently. Dams have
been built across the Arkansas river
that the Colorado irrigation companies
rob Kansas of the water of the river
and because the outlets of all the
dams built became c1ogged with
quicksand; The pump scheme was
then tried. A ditch 1852 feet in
length was dug into the bed of the
Arkansas valley to below the level
of the river and water poured into
the ditch from a continuous spring
over a quarter of mile in length,
but failure came because the supply
was not sufficient to meet the de-
mands of the country. Although the
company has been pretty well
financed at all times these schemes
have taken time and the time taken
and the failures made have cost
money, but the eminent satisfaction of
these continued failures comes from
the fact that a valuable lesson has
been learned. 1t has, perhaps, been
a dear lesson, but it will mean mil
lions in the next half decade to the
owners of the 10000 acres brought
out of the semi-arid state into a
state of opulence and wealth. The
Gilbert brothers, now owners of the
Arkansas Valley Irrigation company,
have just put in an enormous pump
the size of which has never been seen
in the west, The monster throws a
stream of over 22,500 gallons of wa
ter per minute into the company's
ditch and is aided by the flow from
the pump and a temporary dam
across the Arkansas. The combined
work of these three agencies reclaims
over 10000 acres of western Kansas
land at once with more coming into
the fold in the future. This territory
will change at once from 160 to $40
acre farms to truck farms of 10, 20
and 40 acres in size and as much
money will be made from now on from
a 20 acre farm as has been previous
ly made from $50 acres. The change,
in fact, means everything to the own
ers of the territory covered. 1t means
a change from meager existence to
opulence not to be compared with that
in most irrigated districts, but one of
greater extent because of the fact
that the supply in the newly opened
district is sufficient for it to be avail
able at all times.

Case in Supreme Court Await

Winfield, Kan, May 2.-Colonel w.
p ("Bill") Hackney, lawyer, philoso-
pher and scrapper. is in trouble. One
small dog, an unsexed female, which
Colonel Hackney has owned and pet
ted for many years, is the immediate
source of his trouble, following EFFORTS
by certain and divers officers OF the
municipality of Winfield to compel
Colonel Hackney to pay tax on the
aforesaid terrier.
1t is not without difficulty that the
details of what has happened may be
clearly and accurately outlined. Colo
mel Hackney has fought his way to the
supreme court of Kansas and STANDS
defiant and glowering at the enemies
of himself and the aforesaid terrier.
He has submitted his case in a
printed brief of twenty-nine pages,
bound in a sorrowful color of dull
blue. He begins with a, prelude" and
following this title appears a picture
of Colonel Hackney's dog, rather
asthmatic looking animal, deep chest
ed and puffy round gills-
Briedy-no pun intended-it seems
that Colonel Hackney was arrested on
September 10, 1911, for the reason
that he "did unlawfully keep and har-
Dor a female dog contrary to and in
violation of section so and so of or
dinance so and so of said city of Win
field"
Colonel Hackney was hailed into po-
lice court, where he acknowledged
the charge, but said that his dog was
unsexed and had never been permit
ted to run at large. The police judge
soaked the colonel So and costs,
whereupon he appealed to the district
court.
In the latter court an amended
complaint was fled against Colonel
Hackney, alleging that not only had
he harbored the kind of dog described,
but that he had not registered the dog
and paid the required fee, as required
by ordinance.
AS appellee, Colonel Hackney filed
a motion to quash and dismiss, in
which he alleged that the city had no
authority to pass an ordinance max
ing the punishment fine and impris-
onment for the offense with which
he had been charged; and that there
was no law authorizing the passing of
an ordinance requiring the owner or
harborer of dogs to register them.
Colonel Hackney won hands down
in the district court, and the city at
torney of Winfield excepted and car
ried the case to the state supreme
court, where 1t now hangs fire, and
both Colonel Hackney and the city
attorney trying to pull the trigger. j,
