THE WICHITA BOARD OF TRADE TO PRES
IDENT HARRISON.

THE WICHITA BOARD OF TRADE TO PRES
IDENT HARRISON.
There is vacancy on the interstate COM
merce commission and the people of the
west asked to have appointed thereto a
western man. The interstate commerce
commission was constituted TO guard the
interests of the people with respect 10 trans
portation, and it is fact that the great
tonnage of this country comes from west
of Ohio The people of the Missouri valley,
considered broadly as a section, are as
clearly entitled TO direct representation
on this vital governmental agency as any
other section of the country. In the Mis-
souri, valley alone we have Sioux City,
Omaha, st. Joseph, Kansas City, Des
Moines and Wichita and a score of minor
cities such as Lincoln, Topeka, etc. The
interstate commerce commission from its
institution has had no member who did
not represent a state east Of the
Mississippi river. The entire region
west Of the Mississippi, espe-
cially the vast empire of the Missouri val
ley, has had no direct representatives This
is no sparsely settled and pioneer territory.
1t is densely settled in many parts, splend-
idly developed and rapidly growing into a
realm of still greater potency Of trade ahd
production.
The west, therefore, asks for western
man on the inter state commerce commits
sion. 1t asks this much of General Har-
rison with unanimity and with a respect
ful emphasis which IS born Of the need and
of the importance of the interests at stake,
IL is not a request for the appointment OF
any particular man. The wichita board
of trade after a thorough discussion o. this
matter yesterday afternoon. passed the
following resolution:
Whereas a vacancy now exists on the
interstate commission by the resignation
of Hon a F. Walker, and
Whereas the west has not now iand
never has had a representative on said
commission, therefore be IL
Resolved. that the Board Of Trade OF the
city Of Wichita, respectfully request the
president of the United States to appoint
a competent man from the west 70 I'll such
vacancy that the interests Of the vast en-
pire west OF the Mississippi river may be
represented on said commission By one
familiar with the growth and progress Of
the railroad and business interests Of this
territory.

A SUGAR MILL.
Mr.. Thompson TALKS on the Sugar bushes
and Predicts Big Things for 1t.

Mr.. Thompson Talks the Sugar business
and Predicts Big Things for 1t.
Mr.. Thompson, connected with the sugar
plant at Fit Scott, stopped at the fremont
yesterday and talked about the future OF
the sugar industry in Kansas. He laid
stress upon the fact that when all other
crops failed, from lack of rain or a super
fluffy of hot wirds, sorghum would be
found stolidly resisting all antagonistic
influences and ready to yield bounteous
harvest. For this reason alone ne thought
every farmer should devote small
acreage to the sugar producing cane, not
necessarily for use in the sugar MILL
though in that way the profit would be
immensely remunerative, but as feed for
stock. "And talking of feeding sorghum
to stock" said he, 1.-The farmer can use the
best part of it, the seed, and still supply
the cane to the mill, thus getting double
profit on his crop"
Asked about the profitableness of the
numerous sorghum mills now scattered
over the state, Mr.. Thompson said that,
while very well in their way and a
benefit to the farmers and well
fitted to return good dividends to
the investors, they were not capable
OF extracting from the industry those full
returns which a plant like the one at Fort
Scott was capable of. 1t required elabo-
rate and expensive machinery to get from
sorghum cane full measure of profit.
These little plants" he said, ''cannot re-
fine sugar, and have therefore to relin-
quish part of the returns. In such a plant
as we have in Fort Scott, we complete the
process. and utilize everything. All the
refuse from our mills, after the saccharine
matter has been extracted from the cane,
comes out in perfectly dry condition,
therefore there is no accommodation and no
unpleasant odor, but all the same it makes
a splendid fertilizer. The seed of the cane
makes the finest meal in the world for fat
tening stock, and we are now experiment.
ing on the crushed fibrous matter to see
what kind Of paper we can make from it.
1t will take little time to perfect our
machinery, but we are doing it gradually.
81 know Of some gentlemen who intend
putting in a mill and refinery in Wichita,
ready for next years crop" added he,
and when they do so it will be second to
none"

AN OUTSIDERS APPRECIATION.

Editor Of the Daily Eagle.
Ny Dear Sir-I am a stranger to you and
to your town. and by the time this reaches
you l expect to be witnessing the widest
and most foolish land scramble ever seen
in this or any other country. But before
leaving I would like 10 commend your Is
sue of this morning if l could command
the language. Such an array of facts,
showing the advantages of your young
city; such multitude Of consistent argu-
ments for her future, a identified with
Oklahoma; such a paper, 10 short, all
oyer and all through. il has never been
my good fortune to read, from any city,
little or big. The merchants club, which
publishes that circular addressed "a the
trade. aud which club / suppose consti-
tutes your board of trade, ought 10 send out
to the importers and iobbers of this coun-
try one hundred thousand Of this morn
inc's issue. With twenty-five years Of
successful business life in my own city,
Denver, and notwithstanding the home
ties OF a like duration, | am half inclined
to cast my lot in your city. But whether

"The old gentleman over there is

says he can't eat it,"
"You don't know how to wait on
people. I'll attend to him."

Liable to Spontaneous Combustion.

Liable 10 spontaneous COMBUSTION.
Cotton-seed oil will take fire ever
when mixed with % per cent OF
petroleum oil, 10 per cent OF min:
eral oil mixed with 10 per cent OF
animal or vegetable oil will go far
to prevent combustion.
Olive oil is combustible, and,
mixed with rags, hay, or sawdust,
will produce spontaneous combus-
ton.
Coal dust, flour dust, starch, flour
Especially rye -four are all explo-
sive when mixed with certain pre-
portions of air.
New starch is highly explosive
in its comminuted state, also saw
dust in very fine state, when con-
fined in close chute and water di-
rected on it. Sawdust should never
be used in oil shops or warehouses
to collect drippings or lcakages
from casks.
Dry vegetable or animal oil inev-
itably takes fire when saturating
cotton waste to 1S0oF. Sponta-
neous combustion occurs most quick
ly when the cotton Is soaked with
its own weight of oil. The addition
of 40 per cent of mineral oil density
O'S9O) viscosity, emitting no inflam-
mable vapors, even in contact with
an ignited body, at any point below
1899 F., is sufficient to prevent spon-
taneous combustion, and the addi-
ton of 20 per cent of the same min
eral oil doubles time necessary to
produce spontaneous combustion.
Patent driers from leakage into
sawdust, etc. oily waste of any kind,
or waste clothes of silk or cotton,
saturated with oil, varnish, turpen-
tine. Greasy rags from butter, and
greasy ham bags. Bituminous coal
in large heaps, refuse heaps of pit
coal, fastened by wet, and especially
when pyrites are present in the coal
the larger the heaps the more liable.
Lamp black, when slightly oily |
and damp, with linseed oil especial
ly. Timber dried by steam pipes,
or hot water or hot air heating appa-
ratus, owing to the fine iron dust
being thrown off; in close wood

traction of the pipes.-American
