TIMBER LAND PURCHASES.
More Than ss.O0o.ooo Hns Been lit
vested In Washington Within
the Past Year.

During the past year much has been
said regarding the large amount OF East
ern capital that is being invested IN
Washington timber lands. a conserva-
tive estimate places the amount at be-
tween ss.ooo, 900 and si0,oo0,eo0.
The Timberman in commenting on
this great development Of WASH
ington forests, says. the timber par
chasers in Washington and oregon
seem to indicate two distinct ideas on
the part Of those who make them. There
are first the heavy buyers. usually syn
dicates or combinations Of capitalists,
who purchase tracts Of from 1900 20 iel,-
600 acres. or even more. Considering the
density Of growth on timber lands In
that section such tracts mean very large
quantities of stumpage. well selected
tract of 900 acres should carry at least
eoo,0ooeoo feet Of timber and may bear
much more
These tracts seem largely to be
bought as Investments though IN some
cases they may be operated on conser-
vative plan to pay carrying charges. The
other class OF buyers Is Of those who
purchase smaller amounts, ranging from
current purchases enough To- keep a mod
erate-sized mill in operation up ia few
hundred million feet These smaller
tracts are usually bought for immediate
development, and from them promises to
come the bulk of the timber product for
the next decade. Some OF the heaviest
producers and most successful concerns
on the Coast today own but little tim

logs and preserve their own holdings FOR
the future.
There are a few heavy concerns which
are cutting their own timber bat the
prospect seems TO be that in the main the
lumber product will be by the smaller
timber owners rather tuan the large ones
who are looking TO a somewhat distant

supposed that the vibrations caused by
the trains gradually loosened UP the
earth on each side Of the fill until it

SUIT FOR OVERT IME
An Old Case VIII be Ground
Out Today.
BROUGHT AGAINST CITY
Involves in Aggregate $4,000
fourteen Plaintiffs.

This morning the district court VIII take
un the trial of fourteen suits against the
city of wichita In reality but one OF the
cases will be tried. The other thirteen
plaintiffs and the city have agreed to &C
cept the decision on this one case as
settling all the rest.
The fourteen plaintiffs are all men who
were working on the street force when
the eight-hour law was passed by the
state legislature. The men were then be-
ing paid $1.50 per day and were working
ten hours When the law was passed
these men were all discharged and then
re-employed at Is cents an hour, making
$3.50 for a day Of ten hours. The men
claimed that they were entitled to 81 50
per day for eight hours work and that
the extra two hours were overtime, for
which they should receive additional pay.
The fourteen suits are brought in an
attempt to compel the city to pay for this
over time. They vary in amounts from
s1S15 TO $500 and altogether amount to a
sum of over 5000. The suits were first
tried in a Justices court where they were
decided in favor of the Plaintiffs. The city
appealed them to the district court and
they have been dragging on for some
time

OLD SOLDIERS REUNION
w. ii BE Held at Riverside Park Octo-
Der and Week.

Der 2 and Week.
Arrangements for the third annual old
soldiers reunion to be held in this city
October 2, 3, and 3, are progressing
finely. and general satisfaction is express
ed by people in adjoining sections of the
country that it Is to be the week of the
Festival and Carnival as both can be en-
joyed and hundreds will be induced to
come, having the privilege of both. The
president of the association has arrang-
ed with the Twenty-first regiment to hold
their annual reunion here at the same
time. This will bring an immense crowd
to the camp in Riverside park and keep
matters lively both day and night. Tents
are already secured and everything is be-
ing considered and prepared by the exc
cutive and other committees than can be
done at pnis EARLY date Every indica-
ton so far predicts the largest crowd
during the first week of October that
Wichita has ever seen. Eminent speak
ers, military exercises, noted lady elocu-
tionists, pantomimes. dramas, choice
musical selections, both vocal and in
strumental will be of daily rendition and
interest. The park VIII be a scene Of
splendor and delight. Tents in abund-
ance will accommodate families who de-
sire to spend the week and enjoy the fun
and varied pageants of the reunion and
carnival feasts.
1t is evident from inquiries already re-
ceived that hundreds propose camping in
the park and arrangements will be made
to meet the demands, if possible, from
every source. The success OF last years
reunion. Festival and Carnival has so
favorably impressed the people of Kan
sas and Oklahoma with Wichitas public
spirit and energy. and with the many
attractions to be found in her borders and
the sociabhity of her people that thous-
ands will crowd her streets and fill her
habitations this fall at these unsurpassed
entertainments.

MONSTER LOCOMOTIVES
Rock Island Puts Them on the Fast
Trains

Twenty-Five of the largest locomotives
ever brought into Chicago are being pu,
into service by the Rock Island road
These new locomotives are to be used In
the fast passenger and freight service be-
tween Chicago, Kansas City and Omaha,
and are constructed for both speed and
power. IT is estimated that they will be
able TO easily pull a train of from twelve
to fourteen heavy Pullman sleepers at an
average speed Of fifty miles an hour.
These locomotives weigh about 10000
pounds and are Of the compound ten-
wheeler type. The drive wheels measure
IS inches over tires. They have high pres
sure cylinders Of % by q inches. From
the pilot to the rear draw-bar 1t measures
e. feet The tender carries $500 gallons
Of water and 10 tons of coal. It becomes
necessary 10 use these large locomotives
on account OF the heavy trains being
hauled. These locomotives are Of late pat
tern and are equipped with all the mod
ern safety appliances. including electric
headlights which will plainly reveal an
object a mile ahead OF the train.
