CITY REACHES OUT
About S1OO,OOOWorth of Prop
erty to Be Taken In.
Includes Orchard Place Addi-
tiOn in South Topeka.
WON'T REACH OAKLAND
Intervening Implanted Terri
tory Makes 1t Impossible.
Ten Acre Tract Near Cemetery
Is to Be Taken In.
WON'T REACH OAKLAND

The necessary plats and preliminary
ordinances are being drawn up for pre-
senta ton to the council for the addition
to the city of a large amount of col
tiguous territory.
1t is proposed to add this territory to
the city soon after January / as pos
sible, and prior to March l. in order
that it may be included in the March
assessment.
The tracts which it is proposed to add
to Topeka city are all well built up,
and will add quite materially to the
taxable wealth of the town. 1t is esti-
ted that the proposed increases will
add nearly 100000 to the taxable pro-
perty of Topeka.
There has always been a secret long
ing on the part of the city officials to
reach out and take Oakland into the
city. The only thing that has saved
Oakland has been its isolated situation
There are several blocks of unplatted
land between Oakland and the Topeka
city limits. and the undated land
forms the obstacle to the contemplated
move. The city can not take unplatted
land into the city, unless the unplatted
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1901-12-14

land is entirely surrounded by plated
land. The council will therefore proba-
bly, have to leave Oakland alone for 4
few years longer. 1t seems inevitable,
however, that within few years the
rapid growth of the east part of town
will bring Oakland within reach. TAX
ing in Oakland will involve the eStab-
lishment of a new fire department sta
ton, a new postoffice sub-station. and
an increase in the police force.
The most important tract of land
which it is proposed to include IN the
corporation drag-net is the newly plat
ted Orchard Place near the fair grounds.
This tract has recently been placed on
the market. 1t is surrounded by plated
tracts, and will offer no opposition to
the proposed move by the city.
A strip of land half block wide and
a block long, between Euclid avenue
and Sixteenth street on Boswell avenue
is marked to be included in the limits
There are three large houses on this
block.
Another strip of land of similar d.
mansions north of Fifteenth street on
College avenue will also be taken in.
There are two large houses on this
block and another is soon to be built.
The tract bounded by Chandler and
Klein streets, extending from Second
street to the Santa Fe tracks, will oe
gathered in. This tract was at one time
plated, but has since been vacated by
act of legislature. 1t is now entirely
Enclosed by city property, and will have
to pay city taxes.
Another important tract is in Fen
sky's second addition, which has been
growing in population very rapidly of
late because of the Santa Fe shop land
purchase Part of this addition was
taken in last year. 1t is now proposed
to reach out for another strip, two
blocks long, from Greeley street to the
Santa F'e tracks, on Lake street
Another tract of about ten acres ly-
ing north of the Topeka cemetery is
soon to be plated and placed on the
market and it will likely be taken into
the city This tract is surrounded by
houses but I'D to the present time IL
has not been salable. because of pend
ing litigation. 1t is now said to be
controlled by H. C. Root. When it is
greatly to the convenience of the sur
rounding blocks, for it has been i'm
possible so far for the city TO open up
streets through the tract Now that
the land is to be placed on the market.
it is certain to meet ready sale, and
will come into the city as a matter of
course.
Under the law, proposed annexations
of territory must first be passed upon
by the council, and an ordinance adopt
ed describing in detail the boundaries of
the tract to be annexed. The matter
is then passed upon by the district
court, at which time the people living
in the proposed additions to the city
are given an opportunity TO protest and
show why they should not be taken in.
In case the city is sustained by the
court in its desire to annex the pro-
perty the decree of the court is render
ed according, and the property at once
becomes a part of the city.

What Is It?

A question has been raised on
several occasions by physicians of the
state as to whether all the cases that
are termed smallpox are really this
disease. In fact it has been a. much
moOted question, prominent medical
men of the stale declaring in positive
terms it is smallpox and others that
are, probably, equally as able, that it
is not all smallpox. For a time there
were physicians who took the ground
that the disease which has nearly
assumed the form of a plague in some
parts of the Northwest is not small
pOX at all, but most OF these are now
admitting that there have been indi-
cations of the real thing in diagnosis
that they have made.
Those physicians who hold the
belief that all cases termed smallpox
are not this disease, will be interested
in the report recently made by Dr..
Herman Ostrander, assistant superin-
tendent at the Michigan asylum at
Kalamozoo,s to the effect that the
physicians of that institution believe
that the cases which have been dag
nosed in the. asylum as smallpox may
be Il new disease not yet named.

THE STRIKE.
May Anect the Iron Ranges More
Than Surmised.

May Anect the Iron Ranges More
| Than Surmised.
Feelings regarding the strike situa-
ton are not any too rosy just at pre-
sent; and there is Il strong possibility
that it will affect us more than at
first thought.
If the general strike among the o..
S. Steel manufacturing plants goes
into effect tomorrow it will not only
mean that l65, 900 men will be idle in
the East, but there is possibility
that the Minnesota iron mines, ore
carrying roads and ore carrying traffic
on the lakes will be at least partially
suspended till the strike is adjusted.
If the strike lasts any length of
time the effect on st. Louis county
will be marked and especially in the
towns on this and the Mesaba range.
Should there be no ore moved, the
chances are that the mines will sus-
pend operations and the monthly pay
roll, amounting in this city to about
$780, 900, In all the range towns will
fail to appear.
The workingmen in the Minnesota
iron mines and on the two ore carry
ing roads Of the steel trust will lose
heavily in this strike, which is of no
benefit to them, even if the strikers
gain everything they are fighting for.
The ore business this year is con-
siderably lighter than last year which
fact, in itself, has tendency to cut
down the earnings Of the Minnesota
men and shut down of even month
this summer is likely to be a serious
matter with the steel company's en-
plOyeS in the county.
1t is to be hoped that nothing SER
iOus will occur however. Should the
Amalgamated Association members
refuse to 20 out tomorrow as ordered,
it is supposed by many authorities
that it will end the strike.

From the Two Harbors News we.
take the following concerning the
late f. It. Van Hook:
"The funeral occurred Monday

operator in the office of Auditor
Viele, and later assistant agent at
several Of The stations. January first
last he was married to Miss Pearl
Glasford, one of our most popular and
attractive young ladies. He was not
connected with any of the railroad
associations.

Over a Million.

For the first time in the history Of
iron ore handinga single dock system
has touched the 100000 gross tons
mark in the amount of ore forwarded
in any one month. During the month
of July the Duluth & Iron Range
docks at Two Harbors forwarded L.
005, GA tons. This is an achievement
never before equalled in tie history
of ore shipping anywhere in the
world for a period of equal length. 1t
is on basis Of about 1000, 900 tons a
season and the Iron Range record for
July, made in spite of much foggy
weather to interrupt the movement
of boats, and one holiday, will attract
general attention in the iron and
steel and the transportation worlds.
During the month Of June this
year the Iron Range shipped 81. 624
gross tons. which was the record for
the system up to that time. The
Iron Range system has distinguished
itself all through the season in the
matter Of shipments.
Although the shipping season, for
various causes, was about one month
late, Two Harbors docks have for
warded to Aug, a total of 2,2O5. S47
gross tons as compared with 1897, 1873
gross tons to the same date last sea-
son, showing an increase of 2OS, 1853
tons in spite of the time handicap.
The total shipments of iron ore
from the head of the lakes. Duluth,
Two Harbors and Superior. for the
present season to Aug. /, was 4,6S7, 1lS
tons as compared with about 1856, 666
gross tons for the same period in 1900,
indicating shortage to date of al
most 10000 tons. The docks are
rapidly making up the big shortage
that faced them at the end of the
first and second months, and it prob
ably will be wiped out by Sept. /.
