Underground pumping scheme to reclaim Kansas land
The Kansas City Star reports a government irrigation project in southern Kansas to reclaim 10,000 acres using water from an underground Arkansaw river valley aquifer. A 23-station concrete conduit from Deerfield will pump water to fields near Garden City via a wooden stave flume and ditch system. The plan, funded at about $300,000, includes a main power house and two De Laval turbine units, with water rights priced around $36 per acre paid over ten years. The report details the underground river’s source, flow, and long-term viability, plus local implementation details and historical notes.

Sardinia and ancient era notes in a scattered excerpt
A rough excerpt juxtaposes a traveler’s stark picture of Sardinian life with outdated medical advice and references to the Alexandrian era tied to Alexander the Great. It includes vivid descriptions of dress, armament, and travel risks, plus brief medical notes on how the body expels wastes and a dated promotional line for Dewitt’s Little Early Risers pills.
