ROANOKE, VA, May a1.--Man-
ager O. o. Mills. Of the Roanoke Tig-
ers. rendered his resignation to Presi-
dent Elliott, and 1t was accepted.
Mills being given an unconditional re
lease. Harry Welcher. Roanokes
standby behind the plate. has been
chosen to pilot the Tigers. The resig
nation of Mills does not come as a
surprise to the Roanoke fans nor TO
the management, in view OF the hor-
rible slump taken by the team. The
management has no quarrel with
Mills. but was willing under the con-
ditions to accept his resignation. Mills
regrets that he was unable to deliver
the goods with the team.
Mills came here from his home In
Dallas Texas, having manager Jack
son in the Cotton States league last
season. His record in that circuit was
of high order, his team finishing at
the top OF the ladder.
President Elliott In determined to
have some pitchers to strengthen the
team. and sent fourteen telegrams to-
day for men. He wired Mike Finn,
OF Memphis. to send him two pitchers
and catcher. The management OF
the Roanoke team is anxious to
strengthen the team. and every effort
possible will be made to bring the
Tigers up in the race for the pennant.

IRRIGATION BY ELECTRICITY

The Kansas public utilities COM
mission has authorized the Garden
ely Irrigation Power company to
begin business in this State. The
company will build transmission wires
for fifty miles up and down the Ar
kansas valley. The surplus current
generated at the plant, will be sold
to the farmers for three and three
quarter cents kiiowatt.
The power will be used to run
pumps raising water from tho under
flow Of the Arkansas. The company
already has emonstrated on Its own
grounds that this IL a practicable
plan for irrigating sugar beets. Now
power is offered at fairly low rate
to the farmer who Is unable to in
stall an expensive gas or oil engine
and pump.
For years the people along the
valley have dreamed OF cheap cleo
trio power to run pumps for irr,ga-
tion. With cheap power irrigation

AMERICAN MANAGER OF An
ENGLISH ROAD MAKING GOOD
n. w. THORNTON HAS ALREADY
IMPROVED SERVICE ON THE
GREAT EASTERN.

London, June 6.-The railroad world
here is watching with much interest
the efforts of II. w. Thornton, the
american general manager, of the
Great Eastern railroad to speed up
the services of that line. That much
of the ill-fecling which greeted his
appointment has worn away is indi-
Gated by the fact that he has been
appointed member of the general
managers conference, the first time
that anyone not British subject has
been elected to that organization.
Thanks to the efforts of the new gem
eral manager the towns served by the
Great Eastern are now getting their
Sunday papers many hours sooner
than in the past.
Railway experts predict that Thorn
ton will have no difficulty i'm better
ing the times of the express trains of
rival lines as the Great Eastern does
not have To surmount the same gra-
dents as it's competitors. one of the
curious anomalies of British railways
is the great difference i'm average train
speeds on the various lines. Physical
limitations account for much of the
low speed on the southern lines, but
the gradients and length of nonstop
runs on the Great Eastern will give
the American expert an excellent
chance to make some express train
records.
