GOOD RAINS AT SCOTT CITY.
But Farmers Prepare to Irrigate and
Insure Crops.


Scott City, Kan, July 17.-Timely
and sufficient rains have fallen in
Scott county during the last few days
to insure a splendid feed crop. Corn,
milo maize and broom corn are max
ing a good growth. Harvesting is
now in progress in most parts of the
county and barley and oats will make
a good yield.
The second crop of alfalfa is cut
and stacked and the yield from this
cutting was greater than it has been
in years. Fred Mailer, living five
miles south of Scott City, has an ir-
rigation plant pumping water into a
reservoir 200 feet in diameter. He
uses ten ordinary windmills for this
purpose, these being placed around
the reservoir. Mr.. Mailer is irrigat-
ing so acres from this plant, and has
it all sown to alfalfa and he has a
perfect stand. He has oats sown on
this land which will yield from so to
so bushels per acre. Besides this
grain crop a cutting of hay will be
made. This year the alfalfa now
growing with the oats is from IL to
ii inches high.
DR.. Matson of Omaha. Neb., who
owns a half section of land just south
of town is preparing to install an ir-
rigation plant on this land, and plant
the entire tract to alfalfa He will
secure power for pump ing from the
new electric power and light plant
which is soon to be built here.

new CHURCH TO Be BUILT
Catholics Will Erect Structure
to Cost $4,000.
One Mans Story Sample of
Kansas Possibilities.

L4illis, July 1.-THE owners of the
townsite of Lillis own big ranches.
They didn't expect to make dollar
in the town investment They haven't
made any already and the town is
about three years old. The townsite
contains about so acres. 1t has
rich country surrounding, and 1t is
10 miles to the nearest town in either
Lillis have more than doubled in
prices in the last few years, and now
sell from $50 to SIS an acre.
The town was named in honor of
Bishop Lillis. The opeka-Northwest-
ern road reached here in November,
1910. The Catholics have supported
church for more than 40 years. The
present pastor is Rev. Father Henry
Fitzgerald. The church owns a house
worth about $500. The congrega-
ton has so rapidly increased that a
new stone church building to cost not
less than $4,000 has been begun.
Besides, there is a new school house
being built here at a cost of about
$500.
LiIIis is pleasantly situated in the
valley of Irish creek, in Marshall
county. The banks of the stream are
thickIy timbered, and in the past few
years it is claimed that more than
100000 feet of lumber has been sawed
out of the cottonwood, elm and wal
nut trees. The town has at this time
a bank, two general stores, elevator,
lumber yard, hardware and imple-
ments, furniture, hotel, creamery,
blacksmith and other smaller business
enterprises.
Lillis has a stock buyer, Paul
Junod; who was working for SIS a
month ii years ago. He was poor,
but he had grit. Today he is the
owner of one of the best farms in
Marshall county, of $50 acres. He
has it stocked with horses, cattle and
hogs. In a sale a year or more ago
he sold S2,7OO worth of horses of his
own raising. He has SIS acres of oats
which will yield not less than 40 bush
els an acre. He is a big millet raiser.
Paul Junod shipped out cattle and
hogs in the last year aggregating
100000.
The Lillis State bank began bust
ness in April, 1910. The bank state
ment in June, last, shows over $4,000
in deposits. E. v. Dorcas is cashier.
Barrett & Walker have faith in
Lillis to the extent that they have
erected a good elevator. Carroll
Walker is the resident grain buyer.
