CORN
MORAN, KANSAS, Feb. IL. 'S7.


I have noticed in some Of the Allen
county papers good deal in favor Of
planting early corn, citing a man
southeast Of lola and one southeast of
Geneya who were very successful the
year just past by sending north for
their seed corn. In the latter case
there seems to have been q gaia of 20
bushels per acre over the home variety
which is good enough, provided each
was planted aud cultivated the same
on eqally good soil. But it is reason
able to suppose that q man would give
the high price seed as good land and
as good cultivation as he could, and let
the cheap seed corn take second place,

The REGISTER heartily seconds the
suggestion of the Record. Southeast
ern Kansas Is the equal in every way
of any other part Of the State. Its soil
is as rich, If not richer, its land as
cheap, if not cheaper, its markets as
good or better and in every direction
it can offer equal or superior induce

while other parts Of the State blow

place; but a country that wants settl-
ers has no use for it. The way to get
ourselves talked about is to talk about
ourselves. The REGISTER would sug-
gest that our lola Board of Trade issue
q call for . meeting to be held in this
city at as early date as is deemed ex-
pedient to which representatives be
invited from every town in the count
les named by the Record. In towns
that have a Board of Trade organized
the representative would naturally
be chosen by it. In other towns the
real estate agents might send one or
more of their number. We name lola
as the place Of meeting because it is
easily accessible from all the counties
designated; but we shall favor the plan
just as earnestly IL some other place ia
preferred. The main Idea is to organ
ize and get to work, and that as speed
lily as possible.

The Ketchum Keystone alleges
that "the Republican press is stirring

nothing Of the kind. The Republi-
can platform is declaration OF was

the President as expressed in hi,

The protectionists are therefore wag.

defensive, though; and one OF them
hardly ever speaks, in public or

THE FREIGHT RATE On ORE.

The distance from Helena to Den.
yer is about 1922 miles; from Butte it
, is 947 miles-or 125 less than from
Helena. Yet the railway freight on
! & ton of ore hauled to Denver from
either Helena or Butte is the same,
namely: about Sl0.7O.
From Ogden to Denver the distance
is 622 miles; from Salt Lake to Der
yer it is about $50 miles. The charge
per ton of ore to Denver is the same
from Salt Lake and vicinity as from
Ogden and vicinity, to-wit: $1,000.
The distance from HALEY to Den
yer is S44 miles. The rate is $40 per
ton, in car load lots.
This rate is manifestly unfair; and
1t is probably in confitt with the
Inter State commerce law. But this
point need not be considered in this
article, which is published to inform
our mining men of the principal fact:
which bear upon the question o.
freight rates for our ores.
Butte and Helena are "common'
points. That is to say, the rates are
alike from both cities. Ogden anc
Salt La he arc also COMMON points.
The rate from Helena is just abou,
ONE CENT per ton per mile. From
Butte it is about cents per ton pc
mile.
The rate from Ogden and Salt LAKE
is ab out one and two thirds cents pc
ton per mile.
On the basis of the rate charged
from Helena the rate on ore from Hal
ley to Denver should be SIS. "A or $3.50
per ton; on the basis of the Utal
rate it should be about $14 06.
Now each party interested can de
o,de for himself, and be prepared t
express his views at the meeting tina
will probably be held for the purpos

President Spencer, Of the Aqucduct Commission,
yesterday directed Secretary sheehan to prepare a
report showing the number of persons employed In
tho engineer corps from the beginning Of the work
OF the Acuoduct May l. 1853, when they were en-
poycd, with the additional force taken each month";
and the salaries paid to each person; aso the rea-
appearing upon the records showing the necessity
for such increase from time to tmc 1t Is expected
that VIII be made plain that the increase Oh iofcc
has been entirely proportonate to the increase Oh the
work; and also that all the appointments were maze
upon the recommendation and advice and suDstant
ally upon tho requisiton Of Chief Engineer Church.
President Spencer and all Commissioners who were
in the report that they intended making the chief en-
gncer tho "scapegoat" by removing him.
In abiding to the defective work discovered, the
Commissioners say that the contingency had long
since been provided against by holding back 10 per
cent Of money due to contractors The amount re-
tained is now 81 100000 Bad work the contractors
are obliged to make good at their expense, under
the direction Of the chief engineer After the work
Is completed and before final settlements passed
by the Commission, thorough examinations and tests
OF tho entire tunnel will be made so that in no case
can the city suffer tho loss of dollar.

why the contract should not be taken from them
The contractors appeared" desired and their cX-
