In speaking of the compa + that
are putting up the new elevators
here and at Walker and already
have one at Toulon, The Topeka
journal SAYS
"a new grain company has in
Vaded Kansas and is making cal
culations to handle a large portion
of this years immense gram crop.
It IS the Peavey Elevator company
which has its headquarters In Min
neapolis, MINI. and which handles
more grain than any other compa
ny In the world.
Last year the Peavey company
secured control of few elevators
along the Union Pacific in Kansas,
and since then 1t has either built
or purchased 70 elevators, leased 4
IN Saline county, and is building
others, and now completely covers
Union Pacific towns in central and
western Kansas and in this state Is
known as the Midland Elevator CO
The Peavey company last year
handled one tenth of the wheat
crop OF the whole United states,
hUndling so million bushels, and
owing to its extensive operations,
it claims to be able to pay a higher
price than smaller companies, and
its coming into this territory Will
probably result benefcially TO the
farmers who como to Hays.
1t is no question they are put
ting mp a complete and substantial
elevator here.

Kansas City, August %. .-Two-thirds
OF Kansas, west Of the three eastermost
tiers OF counties, is experiencing one
of the most severe droughts in the his
tory of the state, and the general opin-
ion is that the Kansas corn crop will
be the smallest in proportion to its re-
quirements for feeding. that has been
raised In many years. In 1899 there
was 25,0O0,000 bushels. Secretary
Coburn's report of conditions in Au.
gust indicated yield this year OF
about 145, 100000 bushels. Since
then there have been two weeks OF hot,
dry weather, which has further materi-
ally reduced conditions, and the most
liberal estimates OF well.informed men
on change do not exceed 10000, 900
bushels, while many place the crop at
not over rs, 100000 bushels. The plow-
ing for winter wheat IS delayed by the
dry condition of the soil. Pastures are

was destroyed by fire tonight. 1t was
the largest AK factory in the world,
employing 900 men when running at
full force. The insurance on the plant
is thought to be $3.50, 900. The fire is
thought to have originated from an
overheated boiler. The fire was dis
covered by the watchman, and the
woodwork between the boilers and the
grinding room was ablaze. The plant
was thoroughly equipped with an au-
tomato sprinkler, but owing to the
steam in the boilers being 30 low 1t
would not work. The great establish
ment was divided by a railroad switch,
and all of the buildings on one side
was burned. The burned district in
