Was There Any Salt9

Some remarkable reports come TO
the city from tho reputed salt well
district Of Liberty township. 1t will
be remembered that Hehngton pa
per printed an account Of finding a ~, 80
foot veinvof solid salt 100 feet under
the surface and the REFLECTOR copied
it with due credit. 1t is said by those
residing in the community that no
salt was found but well drillers may
have been deceived by the salty taste
Of the water. A Globe-D Democrat cor
respondent en- route to Denver stop
ped at Woodbine last week and hiring
a livery team drove out on hunt fol
the salt well but did not find it, III
was disguised enough too. There II
a story that the whole thing existef
only in the mind of an imaginative
traveller on the Rock Island who tol'
it to newspaper man and started i
on its Journey. At all events no sal
has yet been brought to this city an
diligent search has failed to find any
body who knows Of the well or it
product. 1t is suggested that tn
find may be hidden for speculativ
purposes. II so something more ma
be heard OF it.

WHAT HANNA WANTS.
This Districts Senator Expresses
His Views.

Senator.elect Hanna has written a
letter to the Topeka Mail telling what
he favors in legislation this winter.
He says;
"First-I shall favor the passage OF
a maximum freight bill, with power
given board Of railroad commission
ers to force the railways to obey the
same. | believe the present passen-
ger fare Of 5 cents per mile as low as
railway companies can successfully
carry passengers in Kansas.
Second-l shall support the passage
Of mortgage law similar in its form
to what is known as the trust deed
law Of Missouri. | should want, in
case Of foreclosure, the property TO
satisfy the debt and leave no u0
ticiency Judgment. l believe such 8
law can work side by side with oul
present mortgage law and that BY lt'
passage we will invite capital to oul
State and no one be injured, bu
many be benefited. | shall endeavo'
to enact a bill which will compel al
non-residents to pay road tax into tn
county treasury for disbursement
and thereby enable us to improve gu
roads in Kansas. also believe "
should have law which will hol

SANTA FE WILL HELP.
Industrial Department to Build up
Industries

Abilene and Dickinson county

new departure of the Santa fe BY
which it proposes to encourage ana
build up local industries 1t has es-
tahlished an industrial department
with this object in view and the hE-
pLEoroR has received its advance an
nouncement from Vice President Paul
Morton. In it he says:
This department will, so far as It
seems compatible with propriety, take
a paternal interest in the development
Of the towns and territory served by
our company and it will respond
promptly to all calls for cooperation
in the establishment offactories, loca-
ton Of mills and the development OF
any and all resources that may be
discovered. j. A. Davis is manager
1t will endeavor, where necessary
to place produce in touch with the
markets, and in general way it will
undertake to bring about improved
conditions all over the system.
It will not endeavor to boom any
one town as against another; in fact
it will not in any way favor booms
hut will proceed on the theory that {
solid, continuous growth is better
than A boom, and its efforts will be il
that direction.
It will not take any financial inter
est in proposed industries as 1t wl Il
have no money to invest nor eash u
contribute.
The Industrial department Will no
assist in the location OF creamerle
where there are no COWS, nor rolling
mills in country without either lro
ore fuel or coke, nor in any way VII
it knowingly lend its support T.. TO
proposition that seems wrong, el'ne
} geographically, commercially .
financially. -.
Manufactures that consume natlV
> raw materials will be encouraged
For example, in corn belt there doe
$ not appear to be any reason wh
hominy mills, glucose, syrup sug'
and starch factories, If properly mai
i aged, should not thrive, :,
t These factories should all begin
j. a small way. The capital investt
8 should not all be put into worklf
plants. 1t takes money to operate
0 factory after it is built. and the prlr
e ary essential is good management
Nothing succeeds with poor manag
Il ment.
