NO MORE DESERT FOR KANSAS

Though sixth of the land surface
of the globe is desert the portion of
western Kansas which was once so
designated is putting aside the last
excuse for any such name. At Scott
City company is preparing to build
a 800, 900 electric power plant which
will not only provide light for that
city but furnish power for the opera.
tiou of irrigation pumps throughout
the county. There is an unlimited
supply of good water in the under
flow and all that is needed is cheap
power for pumping to permit irriga-
tion on an extensive scale.
There already are several large irri-
eating plants operated by gasoline
and steam power, but it is believed
that electricity will be cheaper and
much more satisfactory in other ways,
requiring practically no attendance.
1t is estimated that the cost OF
sinking wells and equipping pumping
plants will range from $40 to $40 an
acre, but the first cost is Immediately
compensated by the increased value
of the land.
The new system will revolutionize
farming 10 that county, which here
tofore has been largely by the dry
method. Under the irrigating system
the only cost, after the wells are
sunk, will be for power. There are
no water rights to be paid for and
the supply is said to be inexhaustiole.

k.U. GLEE CLUB GAVE
EXCELLENT CONCERT
Boys Were Guests Of the D.
A. R. and of Chanute
Friends.

Before an audience which filled the
Christian church about two-thirds
full the University of Kansas Glee
Club of twelve boys accompanied by
Prof. @. e, Hubach, the musical
director, and Melvin ], Kates, the
manager and pianist, gave an ex-
cellent concert Monday evening. The
entertainment was one of the Santa
Fe reading room course and was
deserving of crowded house. Be-
rause some of the Santa Fe employees
had complained of being crowded
out on previous occasions the atten-
dance was limited to them. Because
Of this many persons who wished to
hear the concert were prevented from
doing so,
The entire program was very pleas
ing, the tenor solos by Lawrence P.
Smith being especially so. The
quartet work was also excellent.
After the intermission the boys ap-
peared clad in white trousers and
blue serge coats. For this part OF
the program the boys were very
informal and sang familiar songs.
The encore In which they initiated
band instruments was very enter
tanning.
Following the concert the Glee
Club boys were the guests of the
D. A. r. at the ball at the Eagles
hall. They repeated several Of their
selections at this time. The visit of
the boys in Chanute was made very
pleasant by their meeting with
friends. Three of the club are Sigma
Chi fraternity brothers of W. A. and
J. W. Lapham who met them at the
train. Professor Hubach, Melvin
Hates and Hal Harlan were enter
tanned at o'clock dinner by Mrs. j.
w. Lapham. L. P. Smith and his
mother Mrs. j. G. Smith of Kansas
City, Kansas, but formerly of Ottawa
were the guests Of DR., and Mrs. e. A,
Davis. Harold nj. jenkins, ono of the
tenors, is Cherokee, Kas., boy and II
friend of Leonard McColm who
