Old Time Surveying
Methods Have Changed
J. A. Campbell Is Not Of the Old "Wag.
on-Wheel School Of Surveyors ct
Territorial Days.

Kansas was surveyed the first time
by the United States government on
contract. 1t was strictly political JOB
and the most important thing about
It was collecting contract price for the
work. That's why a good many Kan
sas quarter sections have considerably
less than 100 acres, while some have
more.
Oldtimers used to say the surveyors
tied a red rag to a wagon wheel and
counted the revolutions when they
came to laying off the section lines.
and that they threw a stone out OF the
wagon and buried 1t wherever 1t hap
pened to quit rolling-mIking that the
section and half-section corner monu-
ment. That account probably was a
libel on those old surveyors who are
gone now anu MT defend themselves
But the fact remains that Shawnee
county lines as laid down by the gov
eminent aren't straight with the world
and never will be.
But that sort of haphazard public
surveying didn't % entirely out of
fashion when the government turned

county. The county doesn't furnish its
surveyor any instruments. He has to
supply his own and II you happen not
to elect a very high-class surveyor, the

product Of modern training and takes
his profession seriously.
Circumstances have conspired to
create more work both of private and
public nature for .he county surveyor
than was formerly the case. This has
helped make possible the maintenance
of a permanent stan Of assistants. Lfr.
Campbell Is very often rushed with
work, but this is very largely due to
the fact that people who know his
methods are anxious to have his serv-
ices. and they are willing to take their
turn, when necessary. rather than to
have 1t done by others.
When Mr.. Campbell finally retires
from Office, now or 'er. q. the voters
may decide. he expects to continue in
his professional work here. It be-
hooves him to maintain his profess
sional reputation.

candidate for denomination by the Re-
publicans of the county on August 4.
That being the case he has q set of

thing Of professional equipment in his
office is his personal property and 1t Is
good. He has introduced modern
recording methods and he puts in a
