NOW NINE STATIONS
AUGUSTA ADDED YESTERDAY TO
THE KANSAS CREAMERY.

Churnery 1t wichita Now Handles the
Cream for Nine Stations Of Which God
dard, Caldwell, Norwich and Augusta
| Have Been Added Kscsntiy-No More
Stations VIII be Put In Until the Open
| ing Of spring-Mors Than 10000
! Pounds of Cream Sent to This City
Every Day.
| The Lewelling creamery station at
Augusta passed into the hands Of the
| Kansas Creamery company here yester-
| day and today the Frisco shipment Of
milk from Augusta will be turned over
| to the Kansas Creamery separator on
North Market street. This makes the
ninth station put in 10y the new cream
| cry people and marks their epoch for
| the year in Sedgwick county.
The product OF the churnery in the old
Zeininger hall is now 1000 pounds Of
| butter per week or nearly half million
| pounds yearly. When j. H. Nissley, the
| manager Of the company, was here
from Abilene and established the churn-
| ing station here there were only the
three -'tations, Wichita, Riverdale and
P
Furley and ut. Hope were added with
| in few weeks and the product was be
.yond the expectations Of the interested
parties. It took only three weeks to
| demonstrate that Wichita was the CEN
trail point OF the greatest, richest dairy
| section in the state. The shipments sent
in here daily from the separating sta
siOns exceeded even in few weeks the
products Of stations in Dickinson coun-
ty OF a year or more growth. Farmers
in the vicinity of NJ. Hope, Furley, Riv-
erdale and Peck established dairying as
an adjunct to farming and the profits
of the farm were materially increased.
Seeing this the farmers from othep Races
began to clamor for separator stations
and as a result Goddard, Caldwell and
Norwich were added to the list and Au-i
gusta yesterday, so That now there are
nine stations in all. There is a heavy
business done at all the stations. They
send in to Wichita every day more than
10000 pounds of cream. The money for
this, amounting to moro than 10000 per
month, goes into more improvements,
better farm machinery, more Of home
comforts. more bank deposits, more
cheerful contentment.
The esta blishing and centering Of an
important and extensive creamery in
Wichita since the first Of August is only.
q movement that tells which way the
great southwest grows
That growth is the development and
destiny Of Wichita and it is now OF
greater extent and financial concern
than is appreciated by the public in gem
eral or even by the people most closely
interested in the welfare Of the city.
No more propositions for opening sta
tons In outside towns this winter will
be considered but it is safe to assume
that when winter breaks there will be
q revival in that matter that will cir
oulate 100000 per month to farmers in
the territory tributary to Wichita.
UNION PACIFIC REORGANIZATION
Now Broom Business Predicted, and Clark
Not to be President.
st. Louis, Dec 1.-Rumors which nave
been rife ever since the Union Pacific
was bought IN by the reorganization com
mittee were set at rest today by the an
nouncement that S. H. II. Clark had de-
cl:ned the presidency of that road. For
some time Mr.. Clark refused to deny or
confirm the rumors, and every effort
was made by the management to get
him to accept the position. Today he
announced that his decision was final. Ill
health, due TO the heavy work imposed
ON him for many years, is the reason
given for his refusal to accept the presi-
dency Mr. Clark sewers all connection
wit hthe Union Pacific and will remain
in st. Louis. II is not known whether
or not he viii return TO the Missouri Pa
cific, of which ne was vice president and
general manager for many years.
Chicago, Dec The Tribune says to-
day: Well defined rumors are in circu-
lation mere that S. H H Clark has posi-
lively declined to accept the presidency
of the Union Pacific on account of i'll
health and that it has been decided TO
put z. ". Winter, lately president OF
the Northern Pacific, in the piece here
tofore held by Mr.. Clark. The actual
head of the corpora ton, it is said. is to
be Marvin Hughftt, president Of the Chi
cago and Northwestern railway, who is
to become chairman Of the board OF d.
rectors of the Union Pacific.
St. Paul, Mimi, Dec. The impress
sion among railroad men here is against
the truth OF the report that ex-President
E. w. Winter OF the Northern Pacific
railway is to be president of the reorgan-
| lied Union Pacific system. A similar
report was affirmed and denied several
weeks ago.
! Omaha, Neb., Dec. 1.-President s. II.
H. Clark. of the Union Pacific railway
system did not come to Omaha yester-
| day as had been expected. 1t is not now
quite certain when ne will be here, but
certainly not until next week. Since the
| foreclosure sale became an assured fact
I'D until Mr.. Clark's return from the
New York meeting with the COMMITTEES,
| the only talk OF the presidency OF the
new committee one heard in Union Pa
| cific was that the incumbentis name
| would De Clark. Several events thai nap
pened in New York and several things
said py men prominent in reorganiza-
ton matters during the last week have
| tended to change this widespread opin-
| ion. II Is now generally admitted that
| Clark will not again be president. A
