gine was considered unsafe by Oklahoma to irrigate 7,000 acres
many, of land. This syndicate and oth-
ers asserted priority of right each
over the other to the use of the
Cimarron water and also set up
the c aim that the watet could not
j be taken from the Cimarron in
; Oklahoma and conducted for irri-
gation purposes into Kansas.
The case was argued before Judge
Pancoast by 2 number of the lead-
ing lawyers in Oklahoma. Judge
Pancoast held that the first appro-
priation of water actually used in
irrigation for agricultural pur-
poses gave to the owner of the
ditch the priority of right to the
extent of the volume of water
carried in the ditch, and that sub-
sequently each person who built
and maintained a ditch establish-
ed his priority over those who
came after him.
The Chronoscope has another
story from the Gloss Mountains.
miles south-
west of Aline, near 21 crossing,
shot a duck with a large protru-
berance on its neck, which on
beinjj opened was found to be
caused by a large nugget of yel-
low metal which a Denver assay-
ist assorts is worth §27.82'.,.
This is certainly marvelous, if
true, and we hardly know which
to admire the most, the report of
the Denver asaayist or the Aline
essayist.
Milt Hull of the Ingersoll Re-
view gives Rev. Chas. Brown,late
editor of Happy Homes, the fol-
lowing send-off on his retirement
from that paper: “Rev. Brown ( Judge Pancoast said that the

heavy weight dramatic critic and
forgot that Brother Brown will
furnish a different clas3 of enter-
tainment from that which he
usually patronizes.

THE HOPE OF THE ARID WEST.
Colonel P*rry has 25,000 acres
of land in a body and will irrigate
1,000 acres next year He be-
lieves that the hope of the semi-
arid west is in irrigation, and in
the Campbell or dust mulch sys-
tem of farming where irrigation
is impracticable. He is confident
that western prairie lands can be
made moist and to produce heavy
crops of wheat every yeai under
the Campbell system. He has
employed this system success-]
fully on lands not irrigated and, 0
secured wheat and barley crops- /\|va.
almost equal to those in his irri-i
gated fields. He uses twelve
pounds of seed wheat to the acre
and finds that the stooling of each
plant is from eight to ten times
greater than when cultivated in
the ordina’y way.—K. C. Star.
