STREET SUPT.
 |S APPOINTED
V. A. Thompson Named to Fill New Office. More Paving Resolutions Pass ed. Council Sits as Board of Equalization.

The city council took another kink out of the paving enterprise last night by passing resolutions of in tention to complete the paving in four more districts. They are on Washington and Adams streets as far west as Seventh avenue: South First avenue from Jefferson to Jack son streets; and Jefferson street west from Central avenue. These resOlu- tions of intention are the first step necessary in compliance with the new state improvement law, better known as the paving law. It takes various acts of the council to get things under way. Meantime no time is being lost for the paving company has enough work cut out for it to keep it busy until these new patches are ripe for harvest.
 The council also filled the office of superintendent of streets created by ordinance the night before, by the appointment of V. A Thompson, superintendent of the water depart ment, his salary to be $25 per month. His duties are mainly to have gen eral supervision of things and per form certain functions required by the new paving law. The work of actually ironing out the rough places in the streets will continue to be done under the direction of c. H. Carr, who should be officially ad- dressed as commissioner of streets. Some minor business was tran sacted after which the council re- solved itself into a city board of equalization and spent a little time going over the assessment rolls, ad- | journing to meet again tonight.

ADJUSTMENTS
THE EMPRESS

THE EMPRESS
 The Great Divorce Case, now playing at the Empress, is a problem play, and gives one the advantage of several different views of the divorce question. MT. and Mrs. Winthrope view the matter from one angle, Mrs. Noel sees it from a different perspec- tive Certainly the misunderstandingS and heart burnings of the Winthropes are so ably depicted by MT. Bain- bridge and Miss Adams, that when they conclude to part divide up their property and each go his separate way. there is not dry eye in the house. Many gleams of humor are furnished by Lawyer Scott and the necessity which he finds for lying, and one can not help but be i'm pressed with the excellence of his work in a difficult role.
 The love story between Edith Winthrope and her lover Herbert. enacted by Lois Bolton and Robyn Williamson, forms a pretty accom- paniment to the main plot and shows these young people in another inter eSting role
 Tonight is the last opportunity to see this splendid bill one of the best put on by this company. "The Lion and the Mouse" will occupy the boards at the Empress the latter part of the week.

Goodland, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE
Goodland Well Development company
has been organized here. 1t is COM
posed of several of the public spirited
business men of the town and some
prosperous farmers. The following Of
ficers have been chosen: President
G. L. Calvert; vice president, w. H
Stone; secretary, T. V. Lowe; treas
urer. R. A Kent; general manager,
John Boyle. The committee to draw
up rules and regulations was elected
as follows: J. F. k1mmel, J. A. kee-
van and c.. c. Evans. The object of
the new organization is for the pur
pose of the further development of
wells for irrigation in Sherman county.
1t was found necessary to do this
for the reason that the ordinary drill
ing eQuipm ent was not adapted to the
heavy work necessary for reaching
the third water stratum, which is prac-
tically inexhaustible. The outfit which
the new company has ordered was
purchased from the American Well
Works of Aurora, Ill, and is the heav-
lest machine manufactured. 1t is
capable of sinking wells to a depth of
400 feet if necessary by what is known
as the rotary hydraulic patented pro-
cess. Morse Bros. of Denver are also
furnishing the new company with
deep well pump with a capacity of
2. 900 gallons per minute, at a depth
of 200 feet, which will go into a 20
inch casing. The company expects to
sink a demonstration well in Good
land at once. This work will be I'M
der the supervision of A. B. Cone, an
irrigation engineer of experience.
Irrigation has been used in Sherman
county for many years from what is
known as the second stratum. which
raised about five feet above the first
water. In the prospect well which is

of finding gas or oil in paying guam

Prospects for a track team at Wash
burn this season are bright, according
to Coach Driver. Unusual interest is
being manifested by the students in
this branch of athletics and already
several candidates have reported and
are taking daily workouts in the gym
nasium. The adjustment of inter-
collegiate baseball will doubtless give
track athletics an added impetus which
has heretofore been given very little
attention However, nothing definite
can be predicted. But from present
appearance Washburn may yet have a
r. al track team like some other insti-
tutions of equal standing.
