Paper. to Sell and sp.e. For Rent.

The folio wing excellent matter
we find in the columns of the
Sentinel from the pen of r. M
Horn: "The publisher Of news
paper has one thing to sell and one
thing to rent. He has his news
paper to sell and the space
in his columns to rent. Can any
one inform us why he should be
expected to give away either one
or the other1 He does SO if he
chooses, and he does, as matter
OF fact, furnish great deal OF
space rent free. But it does not
follow that he ought to be expected
to do so. 1t ought to be recog-
nized as a contribution, exactly as
would be the giving away Of sugar
or coffee by grocer. But, strange
to say, il il not looked upon in
that light at all; and yet every
body knows that the existence Of q
newspaper depends upon the rent
Of its space and the sale Of the
paper. just the same as mer-
chants success depends on selling
his goods, instead Of giving them
away"

Monday was record breaker in
the local postotfice for the amount
of business transacted. Chief
Clerk Ryder reports that he is
sued eighty money orders and reg
istered twenty-five packages on that
day. The greatest previous days
business was about one year ago,
when sixty-six money orders were
issued and eighteen packages reg
istered. Residents of La Junta
are evidently trading out of town
this year. which probably accounts
for the dullness of the holiday trade.

SIX DAY CYCLE RACE.
Leading Team Smashing Records m
Madison Square Garden.

New York, Dec. 11.-There were nine
teams in the six day bicycle race at
Madison Square Garden this morning
at o'clock after a record breaking "A
hours, in which one champion was
forced to quit and a number of other
riders were raced off their wheels me
teams is still maintained and there was
a crowd present all through the early
morning hours cheering the riders
There were numerous changes among
the leading teams early this morning
and the fast clip set by each failed to
make any especial gain for any OF them
except q few laps gained on the tail
enders, Muller and his partner.
Mcfarland crossed the 500 mile marx
at 4:4O this morning, being miles ahead
of the record for that time Twenty
minutes later the team score with that
of two other leaders was COS miles and 8
laps. This was IL miles and 2 laps
ahead of the record made by Miller and
Waller in the Garden last year.
A few minutes before seven O'Clock
the men settled down to a Is mile an
hour pace and Jagged along at this for
some time.
The riders began the forenoon hours
with Wholesale fall in which more
men piled up over each other inside of
two seconds than in any miShap h1ther-
to- None was seriously injured, al
though Pierce was badly cut about the
legs and Mcfarland received a varied
array of bruises It happened a few
minutes after o'clock when Frederick
had just relieved Fisher. In the scraTn-
bic for places that usually occurs at
such times, Waller and Ginm came to-
gether and both went down. Mcfarland
rode into them, while Simar, Babcock
and Pierce following fast behind were
piled on top of the heap. Two of the
wheels were quite demolished. The ref
cree decided to attach no blame for the
accident and the lost laps were restored
to all the riders who had fallen. All of
them were back on the track within d
few minutes except Mcfarland The
650th mile was finished at 7:35 o'clock,
McEachern leading. This time is q min
utes better than that made last year.

For State to Take Hold
of Salt and Oil Production.

The citizens of Decatur county are Join
ing in a petition to the iegfslatiire for the
nectiOn with the reformatOry at Hutchin-
son, on the same plan the binding Irvine
plant was established at the state peni-
tertiary.
Another petition is also being circulated
for the condemnation or purchase of oil
lands to enable the state to produce oil
for its citizens and taxpayers and there
by place the product above the control of
the Standard Oil company.
of Representatives, Populist, originated
this plan. The preamble of the petition
concerning the salt plant follows:
Whereas 1t was announced by the
Geographic dispatches in the columns of
the daily papers about November Il, 1900,
of salt 100 per cent; and,
Whereas. At the reformatory. Hutch

thick and as fine as IS found in the world;
s'Whereas, A committe of the legislature
of 1889 (See House Journal of 1889, page
800 recommended that a salt well be sunk
and a salt plant be established at the re-
formatory to be operated by the prisoners
ton be made for that purposes:
Wherefore, We, the undersigned citi-
zens of Kansas. would respectfully petit
ton your honorable body to pass law
providing for the establishment of a salt
plant at the state reformatory at Hutchin-
son, Kansas, and making ample appro-
priation therefor, for the purpose of man
ufacturfng salt and selling the same to the
production. thereby relieving the people
of Kansas from the exorbitant exactions
of the salt monopoly.
The oil production petition follows:
Whereas. The establishing of a bind
ing Irvine plant at the penitentiary by the
last legislature has proven such a grand
success in regulating the price of binding
Irvine and preventing the Irvine trust from
exacting extortionate prices from the
farmers, and
Whereas, Coal oil is found in abund-
ance in several localities in the state of
Kansas and it is evident from the large
and frequent dividends declared that the
Standard Oil company is receiving
greater amount for its products than it
Is justly entitled to, and is aggregating
great wealth in the hands of the few at
the expense of the many.
Therefore, We. the undersigned petit
TONERS. residents of Kansas, earnestly re-
quest the legislature to pass law to en-
able the state to acquire by condemnation
or purchase oil lands or wells and estab-
lish refneries to produce oil and sell the
same to the people of Kansas at actual
cost of production"
Concerning these two suggestions, Mr.
Street says:
There is no question concerning the
Feasibility of these plans. The people will
be benented and the combines only will
suffer- This being true. and no one will
dispute 1t, and the advantage all in favor
of the state and its people, there is no
reason why both of the new enterprises
Shouid not be fnaugurated.'

has proven that Alaska will ultimately

May, 1893, and his first work was to
ascertain what could be produced there
in the way of vegetables. He succeeded
in raising choice barley and oats.
Speaking of his experiments in Alaska
Professor GeOrgesOn said today:
.HThere is not the slightest doubt that
grain can be matured almost anywhere
in Alaska. I have this year obtained
samples of perfectly ripe barley, oats,
wheat and rye from several points in
the interior as far north as Eagle
These grains were grown and matured
they were volunteer products from seed

If grains will grow and mature without
culture, it stands to reason that they
will grow and improve with culture.

year. It attained the height of more
than three feet, matured seed and pro-
duced a fibre of excellent quality. There
is no doubt that fax can be made sue

to examine the coast region and reserve
