WILL BUILD THE SWITCH.
While Little Slow, the Missouri Pa
ciflc Still Intends to Go to the
Cement Plant.

Mr.. H. G. Post, high-mucky muck
of the traffic department of the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad, was in town
last Friday, as was also Mr.. G.. f..
Benton, one of the attorneys for the
road. They have been coming here
regularly for months and have had a
survey made and negotiated for the
purchase of right of way from the
Rock Creek bridge to the cement
plant, intending to construct spur
from their main road to that factory.
One thing after another has delayed
the carrying out of their plans, but
Mr.. Post told REGISTER reporter
this morning that they have never
given up their purpose and expect to
build the switch in the near future.
One of the chief points about the spur
to lola lies in the fact that it will
make about another mile of railway
track along which at every point fac
tories may be located and have the
SWITCHING facilities. The REGISTER
hopes that the spring of 1901 will see
the switch completed and before the
year is ended to see a string of factor
les scattered along it. A dozen little
factories would be a mighty pretty
sight and powerful factor in push
ing the town ahead.

Great Britain's Only Gold Mine.

From the Chicago Record.
Up in an obscure corner of North
Wales the only gold mine in the
United Kingdom is being worked. 1t
is known as st. David's. Here q
profitable plant, covering 730 acres,
is in active operation. Eight or nine
lodes outcrop on 1.-THE property, three
OF which have been tapped. One OF
the ''reefs" averages one and one
half feet in width, another two and
one-half feet and the broadest of the
trio five feet. The total results from
all sources show a recovery of four
teen and one-half pennyweights gold
per ton of ore, and the total cost of
mining, milling and concentration is
placed at the extremely low figure of
shillings 1927 ton. The use of water
power and the hydraulic mining sys-
tenn, combined with low wage scale,
enable this abnormally cheap cost OF
production, and the 10000 pounds
1921, 1901 of the company's capital
stock is paying out dividends
of 8 shilling [$2l share. The St.
David's mine Is said to be still un-
discovered as far as its ultimate pos
sibilities are concerned.

Apportioning Representatives.

San Francisco Chronicle: A strik-
ing feature of the census figures is in
the evenness with which population
has increased throughout the country.
The. day of rapid transference of
political power by changes in relative
population is past. There is one lit
tie reminder of the old days in the
phenomenal growth of Oklahoma
whose population has increased in
ten years from 81 1874 to 39S, ,245, maxi
ing that territory rank in population
not only with the other territories, but
the states of Delaware, Idaho, Mon
tana, Nevada, North Dakota, Utah,
Vermont and Wyoming. But there is
no other such instance, and in the
main population has increased very
evenly. The consequence will be that
the gains or losses of Congressman
as between states will be mostly con-
fined to those cases where the fraction
resulting from division by the number
chosen as the basis of representation
is more or less than one-half. There
is growing unwillingness to increase
the size of the House of Representa-
tives, which is already unwieldly.
The basis will, therefore, probably be
made higher than now, and will doubt
less be fixed at that number which b
computation is shown to make the
least change. There is always, how
ever, reluctance to reduce the rep
resentation from any state and it is
avoided if possible. The numbers
200, 900 and 100000 have been sug-
gested as the new basis. In either
case the number of Representatives
from California would remain as now.
We are not likely either to gain or
lose Congressman.

A DukedOm For Kansas.

Hon. r.. +. Ware has addressed the
following epistle to Topeka man
who is thinking of aspiring to a duke
dom under the Mckinley empire:
AS the empire is now an established
fact and you had a son in the Twen-
tieth Kansas, you have just claim to
the appointment of duke. My advice
to you is to make application soon.
Don't ask for something equally as
good" but you insist on duke. They
marquis or something, but don't you
be switched off. You just hold the
emperor up by the gills and he's
bound to come to your terms. Dukes
don't have to be confirmed by the sem
ate, and it's a life appointment.
There is no salary attached to the
Office, but you have a right to enslave
and hold in bondage any Democrat or
Pop wherever he is found. They are
what we call in law "ferae naturae, "
that is, wild stuff The man who gets
them has them just like ground hogs
and pelicans. If you get in early
you get your first pick. You want to
go for Webb McNall and ID. O. Nc
Cray just as soon as you get your
commission. They expect it, They
said if Mckinley was elected we would
be "A nation of slaves. They have
their minds made up to be slaves.
You tell them: Empire is here. I'm
a duke and you are my meat; follow
me-" And they will follow you right
off anywhere. | think Joe Waters is
all right, too.
You want to have iron heels put on
your boots and make your slaves
wear turn-down collars so that you
can put the iron heel of despotism on
their necks without the consent of the
governed. The duties of the Office
are few and simple. I've been in
Europe where they have dukes. You
wake up in the morning and you call
in your slaves as you want them and
you talk Shakespeare to them. For
instance: You summon McCray and
shout at him, "Forsooth, knave
Bring me this morning my matutinal
martini" He goes out and brings
you in a cocktail of which he drank
half in order to prevent you from be-
ing poisoned by the jointist. Then
you shout: "What, minion, Ho !"
and in comes McNall, and you order
oatmeal or Goldfish balls or anything
you want and then say, "Arroint,
which means for him to kick himself
off. Then you bring in Joe and say,
''Ha, variet, a eywester-three for
a dollar" Then Joe will get down
on his hands and knees and say, Eyes
your dukeness," and then you will
say, "exeunt omnes" and everybody
will Immediately go out in brackets.
Don't be apprehensive about where
the money is to come from. You'll
have plenty. You will coin the sweat
and blood of the serfs. II they won't
work, you can have the regular army
kill them. Think of forty Democrats
in the back yard clanking their chains,
with hot, scalding tears running down
their furrowed cheeks, while you
swing listlessly in you hammock
listening to the music of the bond
mans groan. 1t will be like trip |
to Long Branch. You'll be listening
to the serf-sea
Anything can do for you with the
emperor, let me know. Yours,
Il. r. WARE.

They Bet Their Clutches.

There were bets and bets made on
the recent election but it really looks
as If lola should be given the palm for
the craziest and most unusual bet of
the whole country. There are two
young men attending the lola Busi-
ness College, both of them unfortu-
nately so severely crippled in one of
their limbs that they will never walk
without a crutch. Aside from this
one afiiiction both are healthy and
took keen interest in the election,
one being a Democrat and the other a
Republican. In a heated argument
one day they wagered their crutches
on the result and the Republican won.
He of course did not urge payment,
but the sturdy Democrat says he will
make him take the crutch.

II run Jne DOnuOn fTet LANCE.
A capital story is told of an officer
now on Lord Roberts staff. This Of
ticer is noted for his ready wit and
power of repartee. Early in his career
he went to India, when he was ordered
to proceed to South Africa. On his
arrival there he found that he was to
be attached to the staff of the then COM
as eide-de-camp, and
he learned, casually, that the chief S
new military secretary was a man who
thought no small beer ofhimself. A big
function was held soon after the Off
GERS arrival, and the secretary, with a
due sense of his own Importance, pro-
ceeded to exhibit his contempt for all
subalterns. When the new aide-de-
camp arrived the secretary gavehim a
stare and then gingerly Of
fered two fingers to shake. Nothing
daunted the sub. looked at him for u
moment, then said, quite genially:
"Oh, | say, major hang it all, you
know the governor gives me three!"
