Washington, Feb. 22-Consular re-

Canada reports the military authori-

TO STUDY IRRIGATION.
latest Country to Take Up Project
Teaches Others.

washington. Feb. 22.-Although vtr-
tually the latest country to adopt the
policy of irrigation on its arid lands,
the United States today is said to be
teaching the world the best method of
retaining unproductive soil. In
statement issued today by the interior
department Secretary Ffsner COM
ments on this feature of the frriga-
ton work undertaken by the govern
ment.
"It is curious to note,' said the sec
retary. that from the very countries,
in which irrigation has been practiced
successfully for hundreds and even
thousands of years, experts are COM
ing to the United States, the latest of
all countries to take up irrigation in
order to study the system which has
been developed by American genius
and ingenuity, and to learn the funda-
mentals of the effective and economic
handling of such work, the standards
for which have been developed by our
own government
The investigators, the secretary ad-
ded, have come not only from the
Mediterranean countries, but from
South A erica.

GAS 25C ALL WINTER.
Utilities Commission Won't Finish
Hearing Till April 4.

There is no prospect of an increase
in the price of natural gas until win
ter is past. Monday morning Judge
Pollock will hear arguments of John
Marshall, attorney for the public utili-
ties commission, but 1t is regarded as
practically certain that he will defer
any action in the gas case until the
commission has finished its investiga-
ton. And that investigation hardly is
well begun.
The estimate of some of those who
are close to the situation is that II
will be April 1 before any decision
can be reached in the Kansas Natural
problem by the utilities commission 1t
is believed that no action to enforce
his famous order of December 81, in
creasing the gas rates, will be taken
by Judge Pollock until the commig-
sion investigation has been completed
That will mean rs cent gas until the
balmy days of spring have cut down
the fuel bills.
The date for taking effect of the
Pollock order to the receivers of the
Kansas Natural has been postponed
twice already, having been continued
from January to February 3. and
again to February "a. For that rea-
son, and because the federal Judge has
shown a disposition to wait until the
report of the commission is reached,
ii is confidently expected that another
delay will be secured.
When the public utilities commits
sion first DeBan nearing IeStlmOny IN
the gas case nobody knew how long 10
might require. The testimony took
nearly a week. Then an adjournment
to permit those interested to prepare
their arguments of two weeks was taxi
en-. John Marshall for the commission
consumed two days in his argument
Judge T. F. Carver for the state near
ly a day more. Then Attorney J. J.
Jones for the Kansas Natural took
three days. J. w. Dana, attorney for
the Wyandotte County Gas company,
had spent three days in argument
when the hearing was adjourned. and
was only half through, he said. To
follow him are the representatives of
other distributing companies. and then
at least half a dozen cities want TO be
heard, including Kansas City. Kan,
Fort Scott, Parsons, Pittsburg, 1nde-
pendence, Galena and Topeka.
At least there probably will be no
change in the price of gas until il is
used very little more for heating. That
will give an entire summer for prep
aration for the use of coal another
winter if the commission finds that
the rates must be increased.

which does credit to both its legal

Never was gamer struggle made

with an acquaintance extending
throughout the county, Miss Black
wells supporters were numbered by
the hundreds, and the enormous vote
she polled is proof of her popularity.
She put up valiant fight. and she
lost so far as the first prize was con-
cerned, but never did Yanquished

or more cheerfully than did Miss
Blackwell. She had all of her hopes

naturally her failure to come in first
was a great disappointment. No bit
