NEW WHEAT VARIETY
 IS HEAVY PRODUCER
tBy the Associated Press)

Manhattan, Kan, Aug. S.-Uni- formly higher yields for Kanred wheat over other varieties are being reported from other states to the Kansas state agricultural college here as the grain is being threshed, college
 officials say. Originally developed by the colleges experimental station, kanred is now extensively used throughout Kansas, while it's popular |ity has extended to the hard wheat belt, from Texas to South Dakota. The federal department of agricul- ture is planning it's first estimate of the total area seeded to Kanred in the various states, it is reported at the state agricultural college. The last estimate, made by the college here in 1920, showed 500,000 acres harvested in Kansas.
 Over a series of years, statistics gathered by the agronomy department of the local college have shown Kan red yielded from three to five bushels more to the acre, on an average, than Turkey, Kharkof and other varieties comuon to the hard wheat belt. In one Kansas field, part of which was seeded to Kanred and the rest to Turkey, the farmer got an average of 36 bushels an acre from the Kanred and "A bushels an acre from the Turkey.
 An Oklahoma grower of Kanred has written L. E. Call, agronomist of the Kansas experiment station, that field of Kanred grown under condi tions similar to a field of Turkey yielded 100 per cent better than the older variety. Kanred's maximum yield in Kansas is reported from Lyon county, where 50 bushels to the acre was obtained

RECONSTRUCTION
 OF WAFER PLANT
WILL BE STARTED SOON
Necessity for Improvements IS Great and Conditions are Now Regarded
 as More Favorable.

Waterworks District No. ? of Con- way, organized by the city council last enlarging and extending the munlcl- fall for the purpose of reconstructlng, pal water system, after being dorm- ant for several months on account ot adverse financial conditions and high rr,ces for material and labor. will in the immediate future undertake the construction of an important portion if not all of the improvements for which the district was organized.
 The condition of the present sys- tenn, which is so overloaded that proper filtration of the water is almost inn possible and the constantly recurring breakages in the wooden mains make some of the contemplated improve ments imperative, while much lower prices of iron pipe and other material and slight improvement in the bond market will make the financial side of the question more favorable than at any time during the past year.
 The board of improvement, composed of Frank E. Robins, V. D. Hill and C. l.. Banner, shortly after it's appoint ment by the council selected Supt. E V. Leverett of the city light and water plants to prepare preliminary plans and estimates of the improve ments. On account of adverse con- ditions making it impossible to pro- ceed, this work has not been pushed, but Mir. Leverett now has plans prac- tically ready for presentation to the city council. The plans have also been examined and approved by Dr. Glad son of Fayetteville, head of the Uni, versity of Arkansas engineering de- partment. MT. Leverett will this week make an inspection of new system of gravity filtration being installed at Philadelphia and may visit other plants before deciding finally upon plant for the filter.
 The plans, together with the esti- mate of cost of the improvement, will probably be submitted to the city council at it's meeting to be held on August 23. When this is done the council Will appoint board of as- sessors to assess the benefits against the real estate of the city and after this assessment is confirmed, the con- missioners will be in position to dis pose of the districts bonds and pro. ceed with the work.
 While it is generally conceded that 1t would have been unwise to have be- gun work on the improvements much earlier than the present, the present sentiment of the city apparently is that the time has come when the work with the possible exception of new ex- tensions, can no longer safely be de. ferred.

CONWAY HAS GAIN IN CONSTRUCTION 27 STRUCTURES ALREADY Dr. Brown Thinks 1921 Total Be Near 40--Relieves Housing
 Shortage in City.

Twenty-Seven structures of all
 sorts have been completed or are 1T
 process of completion, since January
 l, according to Dr. George s. Brown
 who keeps a record of construction
 activities here The number indi
 cates, Dr Brown said, that home build ing is getting back to normal and that another year will find the city being expanded at the same rate as when the increased cost of materials check ed it. The structures completed or started since the first of the year as recorded by Dr. Brown, are as follows:
 E. A. Scull. concrete bungalow; Jules Favre, three bungalows; Mrs C. E. Leigh, bungalow; Jess Berry shop and garage; C. A. Simmons cottage; George s. Underwood, cot. tage. George Mobbs, cottage; Con- way dairy station; Theodore Thessing brick store; Julius Parker bungalow; W. F. Whiddon, residence; c. F. Hopkins, blacksmith shop; J. F. Hoyt. WOOuel SlOTe DuilulHS, " III blONeI (c), store and residence; Dr. R. P. Cummings (c), bungalow; M. W. Will Hams, cottage; John E. Lyon, bun galow; Ed Riedmatten, bungalow; T. M. Williams, bungalow; E, A, Halter. bungalow; Charles M. Heihgers, bun galow; Charles W. Jones, bungalow; Dan Estes, bungalow; c. C. Jones, bungalow; Mrs. George M. Connell bungalow.
 Construction for the year wip show a total of between 35 and 10 structures, Dr. Brown thinks. At least three other homes will be start ed within the next few months, but no entries are made on the record until construction has actually been started. The addition of so many residences will tend to relieve the housing shortage which is becoming more pronounced while preparations are being made for the fall opening of schools and colleges.

OLD JIM BAKERS DUEL WITH A
 FRENCHMAN

Next to Uncle Bill Hamilton's duel with the Englishman, the strangest one In frontier history was that which Old Jim Baker, friend of Kit Carson, Jim Bridger and Uncle Dick Wootton, fought with a Frenchman in the early days of Wyoming. Baker had estab. lished a trading store where the Ore was doing a good business with the emigrants passing over the trail until a Frenchman opened up a rival store nearby. A quarrel between the two men soon resulted.
 The quarrel ended in a challenge. Both men ran to their cabins, seized pistols and from the doors of their cabins, which were only about 100 yards apart, they began firing at each other. Neither was hurt at the first shot for both the Frenchman and Old Jun had been drinking heavily and their aim was unsteady.
 Then the dueists retired to their rooms, loaded their guns again and, taking another drink to keep up their courage, they opened fire once more. Tbe bullets flew wild For several hours the duel continued, each man becoming more unsteady all the time. At last, finding themselves unable to hit each other, they gave il up in disgust, and the oldest duel in his tory ended.
 RpCar horn in JliinpI. ty, and went west with a fur-trading party about 1923.
 Old Jim was mighty hunter. At one time he was attacked by two full grown grizzly bears. The old scout was armed only with his long hunting knife, but after a terrific struggle, in which he was almost torn to pieces, he killed both bears.
 In 1857 Baker was guide and scou- for Gen. Albert Sidney Johns- ton on his expedition against the Nor mons in Utah. Returning from that trip, he wandered back to Colorado and became one of the first settlers of Denver. Later in life Old Jim drift ed to northern Colorado. On the banks of the Little Snake river he built a block house, which became a rendezvous for all of his old trapping companions and place of refuge when the Indians went on the war path.
 Baker died in 1898 after a life that had been filled with more adventure than that of any other man of his time, excepting possibly Old Jim Brdger, whose close friend he was.
