The Carson Appeal says: The
latest railroad news sounds pretty good
for this vicinity. The report is cur
rent that the Southern Pacific railroad
is running a preliminary survey from
Empire to Dayton to connect with the
C. C. r. R. The road will follow the
Carson river, and thus do away with
the steep grade between here and
Mound House. 1t is understood that
the work of building the new grade
will commence at no distant date and
a large number Of men will be put on
in order TO rush the work. With the
widening Of the gauge on On the C, &
C. it will mean that the big trains will
be pulled through this city before very
long.

gress which has been made in reclaim

prepared, and at an early date will be
submitted to competent authorities in
the arid States. These results were
obtained by schedules and in the form
OF a preliminary bulletin giving name,
location. length width, cost, and acre
age of the principal irrigation systems,
arranged by counties, will be sent out
for revision and later embodied in the
final report.
The lrrigators have evinced an in
telligent appreciation of the Importance
Of securing a full report of the condi-
ton Of irrigation and the practical re-
suits achieved during the last decade.
They have cheerfully rendered valu-
able assistance which has materially
facilitated the work of the Census
Office.
Director Merriam, through the press,
has made the purpose of this investi-
cation fully known and desires to state
that upon request schedules will be
promptly forwarded to owners of canals
and bitches who have not yet made re-
port. lNevada irrigators who have
not reported should do so at once. The
blanks will be sent upon request. We
should profit largely by the information
given by this census upon irrigation

Scientific Tests Are Being Made
at Halstead
In Wheat Growing by Depart
ment of Agriculture.
ABOUT $50 VARIETIES
Planted Last Fall From All See.
tiOns of the World.
At Least Eighty Are in Good
Growing Condition.
ABOUT $50 VARIETIES

Halstead, Kan, May 26.-There is
great interest among wheat growers in
the experiments being carried on here
under the direction of the United States
department of improvement of cereals.
Last fall about $50 varieties of wheat,
selected from all over the world, were
seeded, and about eighty of these are in
good condition this spring. It is not
only desired to determine which of
these foreign wheatS will do best in this
climate, but an effort is made to i'm
prove each variety by migrating. Also
by cross fertilization; many new varie-
ties will be procured having the better
qualities of both parents. This work
is being carried on by Mr.. D. B. Swingle.
The selection of this particular local
ity for the place in Kansas to prosecute
this work has caused many to inveSti-
gate the wheat growing properties Of
the soil and water as found along the
Little Arkansas river. Not only the
size of kernel and amount of yield, but
quality of the flour produced by wheat
grown on certain soils with certain wa
ter underlying, is being investigated
also.
Should the result of the work now in
progress be the very best it will require
several years of propagation upon the
same soil to determine that the product
is valuable or otherwise.

affray occurred near Bogue, this coun-

and the Houpt boys went out to inter-

But few words We're passed when
Allie Houpt struck George Minor with

Logan Houpt began firing at him with
a 32-calibre revolver. Three shots struck
Minor, one in the hand, cne in the arm
and one ball entered the upper part of
the chest and lodged. This is the most
serious wound and as the ball has not

A QUEER CHARACTER.
Travels From State to State in a Wag-
on Inspecting Penal Institution.

Atchison, May 26.-Rev. A. S. Orne
and family are in Atchison to remain
few days holding meetings on the
streets, and inspecting local prisons, the
orphans home and the poor farm. Rev.
Orne is a crank on the cause of crime,
and he has some remarkable figures
compiled during the 27 years he has
been in the work. He has Travelled
through 2S states and Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory in a spring wagon
drawn by a horse, all the time camping
out. He represents no society, and has
no creed, and says he has taken up only
four collections in 13 years.
He started from the Atlantic coast to
make trip across the continent four
years ago, and since then has travelled
II 900 miles, making it a point to visit
all jails and poor houses in the states
through which he passed. He says he
struck Lansing with 80 cents. He
bought Is cents worth of corn meal and
a loaf of bread for five cents, and put
the balance in the basket at a church
he attended. Some man gave him a
dollar. and he found this plenty to last
him since then.
He says that not 5 per cent of the l.
500 poor houses and 800 county jailS in
the United States have regular relig-
ious services. He says criminals are
solely the result of inheritance and en-
vironment, and that poor houses and
penal institutions, under the present ar
rangement, promote criminals. Nine
ty-five to SO per cent of the criminals
in the United States penal or semi
penal institutions were previously
homeless, or worse, had bad homes'' he
said He seems to have made a life
study of the question, and has all sorts
of astonishing figures at his tongues
end. Rev. Orne says the remedy fol
crime is homes for the homeless and
extensive industrial systems in connec-
ton with them.
He has been through the soldiers or
phans' home at Atchison. and says it i:
one of the best he ever visited He
says that if an industrial feature were
added. it would be an ideal institution

some roads now on the map that will
be wiped off. I wouldn't be a bit sur
prised to see the Santa Fe absorb the
Midland and the Colorado & Southern.
The traffic arrangement Of the Santa F'e
with the Southern was the opening
wedge looking to this. At the present
time Santa Fe representatives are all
over the Southern system. Besides
with the Hartville line, the Santa Fe
could grade a few miles. lay few ties
and rails and have a direct line to the
Black Hills, and rival the Burlington in
tapping that country as q, feeder.

Chicago, May 26.-At its meeting in

street fair promoters by recommending
to the association lines that a standard
rate of one and One-third fares for the

all county seats with any marked pre-
tensions in the central west held street
fairs, various rates We're allowed by the
railroads, some being down to one fare
for the round trip.
The rush from all quarters last sum

was largely responsible for the action

was thought wise that a. rate be fixed

A RAISE IN SALARIES
Of Street Employees Is Causing Atchi-

Atchison, May 26.-The action of the
city council in raising the salaries of
street employees to 81. so a day is proving
troublesome. The increase had no soon
er been allowed than there was a re-
quest to raise the salary of the street
commissioner proportionately, and the
request seemed reasonable Now the po-
lice want more wages, claiming they
are not paid in proportion to other city
employees, and there is no telling where
the trouble will end.
1t is understood that the council will
be asked to increase the pay of police
men, and the pay of the police judge
from $500 to S720 a year. AS there has
been no increase in the city revenue
lately the councilmen are at a loss to
know how they can raise salaries. and
pay them. The general revenue fund is
badly overdrawn as it Is, with a de-
mand for a new $4,000 fire engine star

St. Louis, May 26.-An important
meeting between delegation of ship
Ders and n1ilIers from Kansas and the
traffic officials of the transmissourI

pie claim they are unjustly treated, and
do not enjoy privileges granted to ship
pers of grain and flour from other ter
ritory. They claim that the rates or
grain to local mills are too high. as
compared with the through rates, and
that this prevents the Kansas millers
from competing with the millers of Min
neapolis and other points. They also
claim that the flour rates from Kansas
City to the seaboard are too high, and
they ask a reduction.
The railroads contended that the rates
were fair but they promised to remedy
matters, if possible.

PLAN FOR VETERANS FAIL.
Western Roads Will Not Establish
Permanent Reduced Rate.

Chicago, May 26.-At the meeting of
general western passenger agents in
Chicago the question of authorizing per-
manently reduced rates for veterans of
the wars was discussed. 1t was the pre-
vailing opinion that if the bars were
thrown down to old soldiers it would be
difficult to restrict the favors. The
commander of the Kansas G. A. R.
telegraphed one of the passenger agents
that if rates were reduced for the old
soldiers there would be found 10000
more veterans in Kansas next year than
there are now.
The question was referred to the char
lty bureau of the western roads, with
the recommendation that half rates be
given to INDECENT veterans only.
