Rail Road Racket.

Gen'l Sup't Sands, of the Santa Fe,
made trip of inspection yesterday
over the COncOrdia, Minneapolis and
Salina branches. Sup't Sands was ac-
companied by IL. r. Nickerson, assls-
tant superintendent.
Last nights special train for Win
FL Id over the Santa Fe was well patron
lied.
The Santa Fe have cut rates south
and southeast, and many are availing
themselves of the cheap rates. The
fare to the following cities and return
is: Wichita, Sl.6l, Winfield, S26l and
Wellington, S2.6l.
Station Agent Lyeth Of the Santa Fe
is entitled to the thanks of the q. y.
r. bows and our citizens for his efforts
in obtaining cheap rates to the State
Encampment, and other points south.
Mr.. Lyeth is a courteous official, who
treats all in a gentlemanly manner.

The California Bubble.

Between the thousands of letters sent
eastward bp duped investors and immi-
grants in California and the thorough
exposures made by the New York
Herald relative to the unblushing
frauds practiced by land sharks in Los
Angeles and other California paper
cities, the collapse Of the Pacific slope
boom is about complete. The Herald
has always been noted for its thorough
and systematic investigation of specu-
lative humbugs and widest schemes.
Through the instrumentality of this
great Gotham journal innumerable per-
sons have been saved untold sums Of
money. In last Sundays issue, the
Herald punctured the Los Angeles bub-
bic in its usual effective style. Under
a striking caption the expose is prefaced
with the following suggestive head
lines: LOS Angeles Land Crooks
Gathering in Fools and Shekels;' -
''Buy, Buy. Buy" "Waterless Deserts
and Soilless Hills Selling at Extrava-
CANT Prises." "sl4ooa Front Foot

wives with them. The Fourth RPgi-

! Mr.. Benefits special commissioner
| hen proceeds to trace the steps IF the
and swindlerS from the Everglades of
! Florida. The trail extends across the
Rocky mountains aud winds up in the
arid sands of Southern California. The
sharpers made their headquarters at
Los Angeles-a section where the ap-
parent supply of the heaven-given fluid
of life is not equal to the irrigation of
One-half of the land, and without water
the land is useless. Traps for the IN
wary tenderfoot were at once laid. and
by the methods peculiar to sharks, the
tide of immigration was soon started
Californiawards. Today. says the city
is filled with rustling real estate men
aud half starved immigrants. The
most absurd real estate quotations pre-
vail. Land that is spoken of as mar
vellous and worth $4,000 an acre, is in
reality as dry as bone, and just about
as capable of being made productive as
the topmoSt peak of San BernardinO
mountains. Every train that arrives
by either of the railroad routes center
ing there turns loose a swarm of new
corners who find the hotels overcrowded
and charging the highest prices COM
manded in New York, while the fare
and accommodations would disgrace a
fifth-rate country boarding house. AL |
though the country is said to be the |
home of the orange and other sub
tropical fruits, northern apples are the
extent of the products of horticulture
offered to the expectant visitor. Orig
igally poor sheep pasture and cattle
ranges, the broad plains and inclined
mesas at the foot of the mountain
ranges are now held at prices ranging
as high as $500 front foot. The

proved worse than the South Sea in
