FOOTBALL PROFITS.
Over $4,000 Was Taken in From the
Recent Harvard-Yale Game.

Cambridge Cor washington Post
The Harvard and Yale football game
the treasures of theathletic associations
of the two universities, after paying
such extra expenses as the printing of
tickets and the construction of the spe-
cial seats used only for this game.
It is a matter of interest what be-
comes of such an enormous sum as the
big games net Harvard and Yale each
year. So far as Harvard is concerned
the answer is easy. After years of I'M
dergraduate control of each branch of
athletics, separately and Independently,
SO that while the eleven had money to
spare and waxed extravagant as it be-
came prosperous, the crew, for example,
was a drag on the college, supported
solely by subscriptions and never free
from debt, in 1892 the university step
ped in and systenatized the manage
ment of athletics at Harvard. Today
the system has grown into the perfec-
ton of q business machine as perfect
in its way as a bank or great insurance
company.
The proceeds of the Harvard Yale
game always constitute the largest
amount received by Harvard from a
a large amount of money Is received
from the several football games, it is
not enough to cover more than the run
ming expenses connected with the var
ious branches OF athletics at Harvard,
and Soldiers Field, the athletic grounds,
the new boathouse, dedicated 10 days
ago ana the slAt OF the New AOfk E1ei-
ward club, the Carey Building, with its
rowing tank and baseball cage, and the
locker building were all due to the gen.
erous contributions of the graduates.
The entire supervision and control of
all athletic exercises within and with
out the precincts of Harvard university
are in charge of the committee on the
regulation of athletic sports. This COM
mittee commonly known as the Athletic
Committee, consists of three members
of the universitys faculty, three grad
yates of the college, and three under
graduates, who appoint a graduate man
ager of athletics, whose duties are to
exercise a general oversight of all the
accounts of the various athletic organ
izations of the university and to have
charge of all the athletic grounds and
the teams is turned over to him, and all
expenses of the varsity teams are met
by him. During the year a very large
sum Of money passes through his hands.

THE RocKEFELLER RANCH.
A Travelling Man Visits the .Kiowa
County Pronarfv

OO0AgY 1CPGIOys
Peabody, Dec. 1s-Mr. G. <. Irwin was
in the southwestern part of the state
last week in the interest of his steel
tank business While on this trip he
visited Frank Rockefeller's ranch in
KiOWa county, and spent a day with the
millionaire looking over his fine place.
The ranch is about two miles southeast
of Belvideres and contains about $4,000
acres. The home place is a picture of
beauty, the handiwork of nature and
the art of man being combined to form
its completeness. The house is COM
modious containing about twenty-five
rooms. The exterior has rather plain
appearance, but the home fs richly fur
nished with all modern comforts. There
are several fine barns nearby, where
blooded cattle, horses, hogs and other
animals are kept. The house and all
the outbuildings are painted white, and
rest in a valley behind a bluff. Standing
on this bluff and watching the pigeons
flying over the tree tops and around the
barns, and seeing the highest class of
animal life playing its part in the yards
and pens-one wonders if it is a. dream
of loneliness or the acme of reality's
work Besides the home place there
are a number Of substantial houses on
different parts of the ranch where fore
men and overseers live with their fam
lilies.
Mr.. Rockefeller is a fancier Of good
stock. On the ranch are high bred cat
tie, horses, hogs and fowls. There are
also some elk on the place A vast
place to make it comfortable and beauti-
full. A canyon that comes near the
house is tinbered with natural trees.
This timber is being trimmed up into
park, which is about seven miles long.
In the center of the canyon is a stream
which is being Strengthened.
Mr.. Rockefeller is not an unusual man.
He is thoroughly American, and would
be taken for a broad gauged, liberal
man OF affairs. He is transformations,
cordial, industrious and is in no sense
affected or stuck up" He dresses we'll,
but plainly. He enjoys the work on his
ranch, and oversees all the improve
ments. He takes great pleasure in his
enterprises, and it is said that his pride
is to have the finest cattle ranch in the
world. Mr.. Rockefeller loves his coun-
try as well as any patriot He was a
soldier in the civil war. He and his
family, consisting of his wife and three
daughters, spend the greater part of the
time on the ranch.
Mr.. Rockefeller has owned this rancl.
about twenty years, but it is only
during the past two or three years that
he has made it his home and made the
great improvements, among which, by
the way, is a large tank and a reservoir
which hold about seven thousand bar
rels of water for the stock, fire protec-
ton and watering the lawn. It is being
demonstrated on this ranch that blue
grass will thrive in western Kansas In
the large park along the canyon blue
grass is forming a sod, which adds to

FACTORY WILL OPEN AGAIN.
The Big Flax Crop Revlves an Old
Industry.

Fort Scott, Dec. 1.-The great in
crease in the price of flax the past
two years and the consequent increase
in the acreage of the crop has resulted
in an order from the eastern owners
for the resumption of the operation of
the only fax tow factory in Kansas,
which is located in this city, and which
was shut down four years ago.
The factory was built by w. H. Payne,
a nephew of Senator Payne, of Ohio
and others of Ohio. 1t was opera ted
just a season and then closed down on
account of the lack of straw. Farmers
were taking little interest in the crop,
and the price of the output of the fac
tory was so low that the. company could
not pay profitable prices for it, but
now things are different and the fac
tory hopes to consume the fax straw of
southeast Kansas. The factory will be
opened in about two weeks Flax
straw is almost an entire waste to far
mers, and the operation of this plant
will tend to increase the profit OF the
fax crop.
