Twelve NILE CIRCLE.
An Old Resident Says That IL Eaa Been
Drawn From Two Centres

An enthusiast on the dividing line be.
tween Delaware and Pennsylvania gives
the following information, which be SAYS
has never been published:
There Is one thing about the circular
line of Delaware that some Of the people
OF the present time do not seem TO under.
stand Some Pennsylvanians think that
the circle Is too large, and want to take
broad strip of land all around the circle.
THE time the line was first laid down
In 1901, level measure was not estab-
lished. The consequence was that II we,
at the present time, take the same centre
aud measure with a leveled chain, the
circle will be much larger than it is now.
"dave we not as good and capable sur.
veyors now as they had ia 17O12 Then
why cannot we have the llue laid down in
the proper place, takin, the stone on the
east side OF the dyke opposite the Dutch
Court House of 1866. at New Castle. for
the starting point from which to meas
ure the twelve miles.
Il have been credibly informed that
when Mason and Dixon came TO lay down
the dividing line between the State Of
Pennsylvenia and Maryland. about 1854,
they wanted to find the southwest enc Of
the old circular line OF 170l.
Their starting point was the new
Court House that was built in New Gas
tie about 170S 1t was about 642 Yards
southwest from the point that Taylor and
Pierson had taken FOR their centre and
starting poiot In i70l.
Now will some OF our surveyors or
commissioners please explain how a true
circle can be made flom two points 642
yards apart. To have the line right, why
not start at the stone on the east, as they
/ did 10 1901 measure the twelve miles, aud
lay down the circular line by a leveled
chain Then properly mark 1t with stones
every mile, half or quarter The people
will then know where they are aud in
which state they live.
Hunting up the stnmps Of the old
marked trees of 1901 and making the line
in conformity thereto may satisfy few
persons, but 1t will rot be satisfactorily
or prop rly done TO all In shor., II will
not be true circle"

A STOCK MAN From BARBER.

James O'Connell of Hazelton, Kan, a
prominent aud well-known stock man and
extensive farmer of BIrber county, has
been In the city for several days spending
most of the time at the stock yards where
he Is buying stock cattle. Mr.. O'Connell
states that his cattle wintered better this
winter and with less food, than ever be-
fore. Last fall when hard winter was
predicted he laid in big supply of corn
and straw and fed his cattle with this ali
winter, although he says that they could
have wintered through just as easy with
out extra feeding The hogs in mis- coun-
try are getting to be scarce, but there is
considerable feeding going on. The farm
ers OF the western counties, said Mr.. o.
Council, are going over to raising more
wheat than corn. and this partially ac-
counts for the decrease in the hog supply.
The acreage of wheat in his county this
year Is very large,-larger than ever
before. Most of this was sown late
but the stand of it is splendid.
since the abundance of moisture the past
month. He states that the wheat is look
ing as fine out there at the present time as
it ever did at this season of the year. Mr..
O'Counell thinks that the stockmen in his
county give even more attention to fine
grades of cattle than do those of this part
OF the state, and the result is they get
good prices when they market their stock
This was Mr.. O'ConnelPs first visit TO
the Wichita market, and he is delighted
with it. He asserts that he will ship all
of his stock TO the Wichita market here
after. He returns to his home this morn
