A LUCIUS WILSON PRODUCT. It Waa in Dayton, That Raymond First Experienced the Uulitt, and in Sandusky He Saw Blood and Thunder.

A few remarks about Raymond Gibbs, the new manager of the Cham ber of Commerce, would seem to be in order. Mr. Gibbs, who arrived in town the early part 'of the week, has settled down into the new job and right n. he is preparing a list of all those sen tlemen who are not members of the Chamber of Commerce. While me commerce Dody has a membership of more than 1,100, there are still a lot of eligibles lying around loose and unconquered, and Mr.

Gibbs is to find out why these citizens are not members of the organization that is back of every well-oilea movement to make Kansas City, go forward. Born in Michigan. Mr. Gibbs was born in Michigan at a time when Henry Ford was an unknown figure in the world and he i. therefore more than 30 years old, although not a great deal more.

His activities have been centered largely around Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York, with the majority in favor of the Empire state. Under the direction of the celebrated Lucious Wilson, he first donned the war paint at Dayton, at the time that Mr. Wilson was putting over the city-manager plan in that city. Later he put on more war paint and went to Sandusky, where another new charter fight was started. This a real battle.

Party lines wore drawn, everyone carried a gun and "rival newspapers printed enough libelous matter to jam the court dockets for centuries to come, if anyone had dared to sue. Moves to Oleon, N.Y. After the war clouds passed Sandusky was put on the good government map, Mr. Gibbs moved over to Olean, N. a thriving manufacturing town, where he became manager of the Chamber of Commerce, and after two years in Olean, he transferred his allegiance to Lockport, where he served as manager of the Chamber of Commerce there for.more than three years.

Mr. Gibbs still carries the Lockport enthusiasm with him. Lockport is miles from the much larger city of Buffalo and he was asked if Lockport did most of its retail buying in Buffalo. kju wic u.uw, -a great many people in Buffalo do iL. ir.

Govern-ment to Take Control. The Chamber of Commerce and city officials sent urgent Telegrams to Senators Capper and Curtis and Con gressman E. C. Little this morniog pointing out the gravity of the situa tion created by the suspension of all service on the Kansas City Northwestern railroad. The officials in Washington were urged to put the case before the railroad board with a view to inducing the federal government to take over and operate the property temporarily, at least.

Coal Supply in Peril. It was pointed out that 50 percent of the coal supply for Kansas City, is yarded by the Kansas City Northwestern and that dairymen, truck farmers and others are working under the severest handicap. Meanwhile shippers in Kansas City, and along the line of tht North western are working on plans to revive the railroad. J. R.

Wellhousc, of Tonganoxie, was in the city Jhis morning endeavoring to create interest in scheme for farmers and Kansas City, men to take over tho property. The officials of the Kansas City Western, railroad were asked also to assist in the plans for the reopening of at least part of the line, and there a general plan under discussion to iuon at wasningion. Employes Stand Pat. The employes of the. road who quit work are still proclaiming their prievances and there isn't a chance for any of them to return to service unless the government makes some mo- visions for paying them the wages due them.

It also is asserted that many of the employes have been unable to get Liberty bonds, payment for which was deducted from their wages. The collapse of the railroad is surrounded by 'mystery. Where the receipts of the road, such as they were, have gone to is a matter of speculation. Undoubtedly there were revenues of some kind. While the revenues were not sufficient to meet expenses, it is pointed out that payments of no kind have been made in recent weelcs and tnat mere must oe runn of some sort.

L. S. Cass, receiver for the Northwestern, is now in Washington. HELD BABY FOR BOARD BILL. A Topeka Mother Had to Sue to Get Her Child.

Topeka. A deputy sheriff and a court order were necessary to re-unit a woman and her little daughter yes- terday. Mrs. Gertrude Stevenson tcld Judge George H. Whitcomb that her baby girl was being held for non-pay ment of a board bill by Mrs.

Ida Clayton, 632 Madison street. Judge Whitcomb instructed Oscar Carlson, deputy sheriff, to go with Mrs. Stevenson to obtain possession of the girl. The daughter was restored to her mother but her clothes were left at the Clayton home. Mrs.

Stevenson has been sued tor divorce by her husband. 'Pending the trial, he left the girl at the Clayton when he went St. Joseph. Mr, Clayton says that Stevenson has not paid for the child's care since July '4. Mrs.

Stevenson will have the chil i PROVERBS. All the days of the afflicted evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.

A colonization scheme, one of the biggest undertakings the state has ever knownr is to be in Scott, Finney and Kearney counties. The plan is to irrigate by pumps 200,000 acres in what is known as the shallow water district.

The promoters include Kansas, Kansas City and Chicago men. One of the leading promoters is J. W. Lough, of Scott City, who owns 5,000 acres and is really the biggest individual irrigation man in Kansas. Lyons J.

P. Snyder and Judge Zumbrum, of Kansas City, are interested in it. A meeting was held in Kansas City last week to work out details. The plan is to put 200,000 acres under ir rieation. and sell it in tracts of from 20 acres up to 160 acres.

There are about 2,000 farmers in that district now and there ought to be 20,000 doing intensive farming under irrigation. This Chicago, Kansas City and Kan sas syndicate will make it possible to get thousands of farmers out there. It has been demonstrated that water can be put on the land for $2 to $4 per acre foot. The Garden City Sugar factory has an electric plant large enough to supply all the juice neces- sary for irrigation. It already has more than 200 miles of wire distributing current in that locality.

If the colonization scheme demands more juice than the present output, the sugar company will increase the capacity of the electric plant. Many of the. big land owners are putting a part of their land in the general colonization jack-pot. It is understood that Mr. Lough is to put 2,500 of his 5,000 acres into the project.

Others are putting in like pro- portions of their holdings. Under this system of irrigation it is not necessary to build big lead ditches covering the entire district. Every farmer will! have an individual tramninsr plant on expert, should file his application with the farm hurpan. which ii in fknmnpr uj Kansas City, Kas. RED CROSS WORKERS MEET.
