Composition Of Gulf Of Mexico Ports Prov
Ing Too Much for the Big Lake City.
KANSAS CRY. Mo-, May 1.-The
competition Of the Gulf Of Mexico
ports for the grain traific Of the west is
being keenly felt by Chicago Every
possible effort has been made by that
city for the last two years to retain Its
prestige as the greatest grain center
Of the world. Despite all it could do.
the volume Of traffic has been diverted
to the gulf and Chicago is at last
aroused to the situation. The New
York Evening Post publishes the fol.
lowing significant article from the pen
Of Its Chicago correspondent, regard
ing the situation:
The territory between Chicago and the gulf
ports has been divided, and the roads that have
for years diverted business to Chicago have no
prospect Of ever getting back to their old-tlme
earnings The managers who have studied
the situation carefully, ore frank enough to
admit that the day for big earnings on
the part Of the granger roads has passed
Elevator men are arranging 10 do busi-
ness with the gulf ports by erecting
houses In the grain bolt Of Kansas and Ne
braska, where good rates can be secured to the
gulf ports and they are working to secure oil
the benefit that deep water OF Galveston, Port
Arthur and New Orleans affords exporters
Contracts have been let within week for big
elevator In central Kansas and IL Is expected
that others will be placed before long.

GUTHRIE, Ok, May MANY Of the
people reported missing after the great
food which laid waste West Guthrie
Wednesday morning have been found
alive and II Is now believed that the
number Of victims will not exceed
dozen In all. In all parts Of the
flooded section men and women
are busy repairing the damage done
by the inundation and there is to-day
little or nothing Of the oftpictured
scenes of despair.
The shores Of the Cimarron river are
piled with wreckage from the homes
of Guthrie that went down with the
food. Robbers are pillaging along
the river and the city and county au'
thorities are sending guards to protect
the property. The Ladies' Benevolent
society, of Guthrie has opened head
quarters and are making clothing for
the destitute. 1t is thought that the
city is amply able to provide for the
