About Sorghum Sugar.

The people of this community can
build and equip a sorghum sugar
and syrup mill with the capacity of the
Conway Springs establishment for
something less than $4,000. This " i'll
give them mill having a capacity of
1000 acres of cane per season, or 15O
tons of cane per day. 1t is estimated
that gooa care Eill produce 100 pounds
of sugar and IL gallons of syrup per ton.
Besides the seed from the cane is worth
81 cents per bushel. The farmers al
Conway Springs get 81 per ton for their
cane, seed, blades and all. The average
yield there has been II tons to the acre
So the farmer has obtained S24 per acre
for his cane and the labor connected
with raising and handling it.
No cane is hauled a greater distance
than miles, and that is considered
about two miles further than is profita.
BILE. Most of the fields of cane over
there are within radius of three miles
of the mill. In preparing it for the
mill, it is cut and the heads all being

Medicine Lodge Enterprises.

Wichita Eagle, Oct. I3: e. =. Car
uthers, editor of the Medicine Lodge
INDEX, passed through here last night
on his way from Conway Springs where
he had been investigating the sugar
works at that place, for the Medicine
Lodge people. That city has lately Sc
cured an unlimited water supply, 240
horse power, from a stream skirting
the city, and this power they are anx-
ious to utilize. They have a sorghum
sugar plant in view and to be run in
connection with it, when the cane sea-
son has passed, they have an idea that
they can successfully run paper mill.
Recent experiments, made in the south,
have demonstrated that the pulp of SUI
gar cane forms excellent material for
paper making. A mill similar to the
one at Conway Springs will use the cane
from one thousand acres and supply
pulp enough to keep a paper mill run
ming the nine months when the machin-
cry and power would not be used in
working up the cane. To make paper,
constant stream of pure water is nee
essary, and this Medicine Lodge has.
Mr.. Caruthers is loaded down with
facts and figures which he obtained
from the government chemist, Profess
or Schweintz and his assistant, Mr..
Carr, and Superintendent Deming and
Treasurer Armstrong. If Medicine
Lodge carries out one-half the enter
prlses that Its representative pictured
out to the Eagle reporter, Wichita may
yet have cause to look to her laurals.

Emo, the furniture man, comes to the
front this week with a special sale of
bedroom suits. See his add on this
page. He offers a solid antique oak bed
room suit for S2a cash. This is the
most extraordinary offer in the furni
ture line that has ever been made to the
people of Kansas, as you will say when
you see it.
The suit is beauty, nicely polished,
large beveled glass, and well made. Mr..
Emo has some three hundred bedroom
suits IN his three-story furniture build
ing, on all of which he Is making cut
prices, and if you want suit we are
satisfied from our examination of bis
stock and prices that you can save from
five TO twenty lollars by buying from
Emo during this special sale.
Mr.. Emo has carried on a successful
furniture business IN Wichita for two
years, and IN that time has established
a wide reputation for selling better
goods at lower price than any other
furniture establishment In Wichita.
Mr.. Emo says that his advantages
over other furniture establishments are
few but great. His store is not located
in the most expensive part of the city,
where enormous rents are charged, and
fOT this reason alone he can afford to
sell his goods 10 per eeat. cheaper than
his competitors. gil

Coming This Way, sury.

We would not have our people get ex-
cited over 1t, but we want to announce
that a movement is on foot now for the
early extension OF the st. Louis IL San
Francisco railroad from Anthony west
to Medicine Lodge, and on through Bar
Der county. There is little doubt IN our
mind that this extension will be COM
menced within the neat few months.
That road recently sold $8,O00,0O0 of
bonds that it had been trying to dispose
IF for months, and it is now in shape to
take up its western journey. And if
the Frisco does come here, it will be a
big thing for Barber county. IL owns
vast forests Of yellow pine in Arkansas
and it has already reduced the pIice of
lumber in Anthony 81 per thousand. 1t
