WASHINGTON, d. C-The annual re
port of the commissioner of railroads,
submitted to congress says the railroads
Of Kansas are in fair condition, but very
little has been done by any Of the lines
in the way of construction or improve
ment during the past year. The gov
eminent railroad engineer says he has
inspected all the lines in Kansas and
makes the following comments as to
their condition: Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe-The track, bridges, road-bed
and equipment are in excellent condition
throughout the line, which might be ex-
pected of a company whose standard
for railway work has always been high.
The only noticeable improvement upon
the main line was in laying forty-nine
miles of 66-pound steel rails. At Ar
gentine an elevator with a capacity of
100000 bushels has been recently built.
Kansas Division of the Union Pacific
The road-bed, track, buildings and
bridges have been kept in condition and
many substantial improvements have
been made The telegraph line is being
thoroughly rebuilt, and the careful ex-
penditure of the past few years has
made this one of the best divisions OF
the Union Pacific system. The track il
very smooth, being fully equal to the
best of the roads west of the Missouri
river. Many improvements have been
made during the year, including $40,-
900 headquarters building at Kansas
| City, coal chute at Topeka costing
! $4,000, Junction City freight house re-
built, Manhattan stock yards rebuilt
and enlarged, new coal chute at Salina
| L7Tl-v-o-AI, 10
rebuilt, coal chute at Oakley costing
81, 100, and new depots at Gorham, Buff
falo Park, and McAllester.
st. Joseph & Grand Island in Kansas
There has been no marked improve
ment in any portion of the line, the
track, road-bed and buildings being in
only fair condition, showing that there
has been great economy in the expendi-
lures for these departments. The roll
ing stock has been quite well kept up.
Depets were built at Oneida and
Bremen.
st. Louis & San Francisco in Kansas
The track is rather rough and the
road-bed and bitches not in quite as
good condition as at last inspection.
The rolling stock appears to be in quite
good condition, but in other depart
ments there seems to be very close
economy in managing the expenditures,
so that very little improvement has been
made.
Missouri, Kansas & Texas-The road
bed is in fair condition. The track,
which is now laid with steel throughout,
is not in good surface nor so supplied
with sound ties as it should be. The
rolling stock is apparently in better con-
dition than at the date of last inspec-
ton, and some improvement is notice
able in other departments.

ing item to be considered is that one
packing firm paid out $50, 900 in salaries
to men who live IN thu vicinity, during
the month Of Decembeg. The regular
weekly payroll, In this section, OF the
same corporation, II $4,000, which is
distributed among the merchants Of the
city. Besides this packing house there
are two others, a large foundry, three
large cooperage establishments, and
other industries whose combined pay
rolls viii exceed $4,000. These facts
speak well for the financial condition Of
this section of the consolidated city.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The commission
er Of Indian affairs, in his report Just
issued, calls special attention to the
condition Of the Indian lands in Frank
lin county, Kan, known as the Ohippe-
wa and Munsee reservation, and recon-
mends action by congress. These lands
were allotted by the government about
thirty years ago to two small bands OF
Indians known as the Munsees and
Chippewas. The comm issioner says that
owing to the peculiar tenure by which
they hold their lands many complica-
tons have arisen in the title by reason
of the death of the Indians, and it is be-
coming tedious and difficult matter to
determine who are the present legal
owners or heirs of any of the allotments.
He says that many illegal transfers OF
some of these lands have been made
from time to time, to white persons or
other persons not members Of the tribe
and unless relief is soon granted by con-
gress, it is only question of time when
| the few surviving members of the tribe
will own the whole reservation. In view
of this condition of affairs and the fact
that under the general allotment act of
February 8, 1887, these Indians were
made citizens Of the United States, the
commissioner recommends that congress
grant authority to sell such lands as Are
vacant or abandoned, including the
school and mission lands, the net pro-
ceeds arising from the sale to be funded
| for the use and benefit of those mem
bers of the tribe born since the allot-
ments were made or who never received
/ an allotment.

STOCK AND FARM.

Long Island Leader: A German liv-
ing on Deer Greek, south of town, sowed
ten bushels of oats on twenty acres of
alfalfa, last spring, to serve as a shade
and protection to the alfalfa, and har-
vested 1000 bushels of oats therefrom.
Independence Tribune: A successful
clover grower informs us that clover can
be made a success on thin uplands, by
seeding the clover on wheat in the early
spring, OF on oats. After the wheat or
oats are cut, let the clover grow and
ripen the seed and then pasture it to
pack the soil.
Burlington Republican: Mr.. CrottS
is this winter preparing about 200 acres
of the pillow land on his farm south Of
town for seeding to blue grass and
meadow fescue in the spring. Mr.
Barker sowed 400 acres to these grasses
last spring, and other prominent farmers
IN the county have sowed or are prepar-
ing to SOW quite extensively on cult
waited land. The day of tame grasses il
Kansas is surely coming, though it may
be long delayed.

Yam.

a writer in Chambers Journal
gives a slight but loving biography of
two prairie dogs which were sent him
from Texas, and which succeeded in
becoming really domesticated in their
English home. At the end of a year
the older of the two died, but zap,
livelier and more hardy, has now
reached the advanced age of six years.
His food is strictly vegetable, and
his diet light. Dry oatmeal, oats, or
a bit of oatmeal cake, are his faVorite
dishes. The average temperature Of
England being so much lower than
that of Texas, causes him to creep
close to the kitchen fire, where he sits
beside the cat, fOndling her and be-
slowing on her loving pats with his
little paws. When out Of doors he is
particularly fond of keeping close be-
side little bantam hen.
One popularity of both dogs was
that they lacked the sense Of vertical
distance. Whenever they had mount
ed a table, chair, or windoW-sill, they
were liable to fall as if unaWares,
sometimes hurting their faces quite
seriously. When they attempted to
leap from one chair to another, they
would miscalculate, and fall between
them. Now, however, experience has
taught zap TO estimate distance and
direction.
zap is never satisfied until he has
thoroughly examined any new piece
of furniture which appears in the
room. At one time, when a new rug
was placed temporarily before the
fire, he sat down on it with great en-
joyment, but as soon as the old one
reappeared he showed unmistakable
resentment by tearing and gnaw-
ing it.
He expresses his affection mainly by
pressing gently with his teeth the
hand of him he loves. If a stranger
touches him with f1rmness he offers
no objection, but should the action be
timid or hesitating, ne is apt to give
him pinch. Like the nettle of the
warning rhyme, zap must never be
grasped @tender-handed-

Sea sand As Soil.

1t is hard to think of anything
more barren, more destitute OF fer
tility, than sea sand. In connection
with some studies of the chemistry of
vegetable production in the laboratory
OF Wesleyan University we have been
growing plants in just such sand,
brought from the shores of Long
Island Sound. To diVest it of every
possible trace Of material which the
plant might use for food except the
sand itself, it was carefully washed
with water and then heated. The
young man who prepared the sand for
US, in his zeal to burn out the last
Yestiges OF extraneOus matter, heated
the iron pots in which it was calcined
so hot that they almost melted The
sand was put into glass jars, water
was added, and minute quantities Of
chemical salts, which plants take
from the soil, were dissolved. in it.
In the sand thus watered and fertil-
lied dwarf peas were grown. Peas OF
the same kind were cultivated by a
skillful gardner in a rich soil OF a
garden close by, and grew to a height
OF about four feet, while those in the
sand and water and the minute guam
titles OF chemical salts reached the
height OF eight feet--Century Maya
