WATER To GAGE PARK.
Tentative Plan to Supply Water From
Pumping Plant.

A tentative plan to build a private
pumping station west of, the city. wa
terworks and north of the brickyards
near the river, to supply Gage park
with water, is being investigated by
Commissioner F. NJ. Newland of the
city waterworks. Newland isn't ready
to say he will follow the plan, but he
is studying the feasibility of it, and
means to find a way to put city water
into Gage park.
The plan suggested is to dig new
we'll, large enough to supply the park,
and build a private line from there
to the park. An electric motor would
be used for power, and a small pump
would raise the water into a stand
pipe. Newland figures that a couple
of hours pumping in the course of
each day would provide ample water,
storing it in the standpipe.
Installing the pump west of the
present plant would shorten the line
to the park and lessen the expense.
1t also would relieve the city system
of the strain of the added line to the
park, and the necessity of carrying
the same pressure on it as is carried
on the city lines
Water will be furnished to Gage
park in the near future by some
means. The means is all that is be-
ing considered now

NOT SURE
Performances of Last Week
Scare Athletics and Giants.
Lead of Both Clubs Reduced
Runners Up Lost Pace.

New York, Sept. S.-There has been
an unmistakable scare in the camps of
the probable worlds series contenders
for several days and the beginning of
the new playing week finds anything
but a feeling of serene satisfaction
prevalent around Shibe park and the
Polo grounds.
Both John McGraw and Connie Mack
doubtless believee their respective
teams will top the lists when the ma
Jor league season ends, Oct 5. But
each can hardly help realizing that I'M
less his men play better baseball than
recent appearances, the plans for post
season activities of Giants and Athlet-
les may have to undergo sudden and
radical revision.
Had the Phillies not halted in their
winning rush at the critical moment
Saturday and dropped two games to
the dashing Braves. the Giants would
be but six games ahead of the DOOM
tiles. Had the Clevelands not expert
enced a mid-week slump and dropped
three games running to Chicago and
Detroit, the Athletics lead would have
been reduced to three and a half
games.
In each league the best the pacemak-
ers could pry out of the weeks work
was an even break. The Giants, by
reason of their losses to Boston and
Brooklyn and the decision by President
Lynch which took from them the game
in Philadelphia on Aug. 30-previously
credited to them by forfeiture-Saw
their lead drop from twelve games to
eight. The Athletics, thrice beaten by
Boston and once by Washington, were
more fortunate. and needed to be, for
their margin as the week opened was
only seven and a half games. 1t was
reduced by but one game, to six and a
half, as the Clevelands struck snag
in Chicago, dropping two games there
and one in Detroit before they woke up
and resumed victorious ways.
Failure of the second place teams to
take full advantage of the leaders pro-
nounced slumps has kept the race from
becoming perilously tight, for the wab-
bling Mackmen are uncomfortably
close for McGraw's erstwhile hustlers.

IT'S ALL A MYTH
No Such Thing as Drouth in
Northeastern Kansas.
Farmers Are Generally Pros
porous in This District.

Northeastern Kansas is not suffer-
ing from the drouth and hot spell
as bad as it is painted and farmers
are generally prosperous throughout
the district. The corn crop in most
counties has been badly injured, but
other crops are in a fair condition.
The cattle are thriving in spite of the
reports that thousands of Kansas cat
tie are being shipped to Kansas City.
G. NJ. Crews of Topeka says that the
farmers have plenty of money this
year and are looking forward to a
better yield next season.
jackson county has been more bad
ly affected by the hot spell than her
two neighbors, Jefferson and Atchi-
son. However, the water supply in
the wells and springs is good, few
wells having gone dry. The horses.
hogs and cattle take advantage of
the poor corn crop and get good food
from the stalks. Many farmers have
stored several hundred bushels or
wheat for the winter market. Those
who have silos have raised good
corn crop. Vegeta bles are in fair
condition and most of the farmers are
cheerful. According to Sam Oster-
hold, editor of the HOltOn Signal,
there has not been a single farmer
leaving his county on account of the
weather or crop conditions. Holton
is at present suffering from an ice
famine, but has begun TO snip IN
large quantities from Topeka
jefferson and Atchison counties are
in a much better condition than
Jackson. Atchison has had several
rains to break the drouth and the
Missouri river at the city is not dan
gerousiy low. Most of the streams
in the two counties are dry except
the Delaware river, which has some
water in it. The hard luck tales of
no water for the stock have not been
experienced in these two counties and
fair crops are being raised. The city
of Atchison has plenty of water and
ice, and, though the ground is dry,
the several rains on the Missouri val
ley have helped the citizens along.
Most of the reports that have been
circulated through the country about
the poverty stricken condition of the
Kansas farmers this year are I'M
founded. The farmers income may
not be as large as last year, but sta
tistics show that there has been no
decrease of automobile sales to the
farmers this year. Very few openly
complain about the climate this sum-
mer. They take their families for
automobile rides in the evenings and
look over their acres with feeling
of content
