KANSAS CROPS.

The secretary of the Kansas State
Board Of Agriculture has just tabu-
lated in comparative form statistics
obtained from the U. S. Department Of
Agriculture year books.
The tables are brief and graphic and
calculated to surprise those who have
looked on Kansas as a semi-arid state.
Kansas ranks first in the value of
wheat and corn raised for the FIVE
years 1896 to 1900, inclusive, and also
for the year 1900 alone; first in the
value Of wheat alone raised in 1900;
fifth in the value of corn alone for the
same period; second, in the value OF
wheat and corn raised in 1900 per
capita.
The same authority gives the number
OF bushels of corn raised in Kansas IN
20 years as 1896, 1885, 0S, and the num-
Der of bushels of wheat raised in same
period as 691 .297,613.
These are truly wonderful figures.
In part they show the solid basis of
value on which the securities of the
Santa Fe railway rest. for the Santa
Fee is to Kansas what the Pennsylvania
railroad is to Pennsylvania, the chief
transportation agency, with lines COW
ering the state more generally than
do those of any other company.
A new booklet ON the resources Of
Kansas is being prepared by the Santa
Fe passenger department and will be
ready for distribution early in the
year. The booklet will contain Stairs
tics for the year 1901.

Isthman Canal Commission Reports to

WASHINGTON. : Especially The
lpplemental report of the lsthmian
canal commission on the proposition of
the Panama Canal company to dispose
Of its property to the United States
for $40,000,000. has been delivered to
President Roosevelt. The members of
the commission refuse to discuss the
nature of the report, and like reticence
was maintained at the White House,
but it was stated on excellent author
ity that the report unanimously rec
commends that the offer of the Pana-
ma company be accepted.
The report, it is stated, is very
yoluminous. going into all phases OF
The question and attempting to meet
the objections that legal complications
will arise out of the purchase or that
there will be any international diff
mated The report was completed
about six o'clock in the evening and
after being signed by members of the
commission, was carried by Rear Adj
miral Walker. chairman Of the COM
mission, to Secretary Hay, who trans
mtted it to the President. The latter
will send the report to Congress at
once.
The report goes fully into the steps
which must be taken in order to insure
a perfect title to the United States,
for in addition to the present Panama
Canal Company the old organization
and the Colombian government must
be reckoned with. The report finds,
however, it is said, that the new COM
pany can give a clear title
1t is stated that the report says that
when the commission made its recent .
report favoring the Nicaraguan route
no offer to sell to this government had
been made by teh Panama company.
The offer of $40OOO000 made in be-
half of the company by M. Lampre,
it is said, changed the situation COM
pletely.
1t is further stated that the report
shows that little over 1000 shares of
Panama railroad stock is owned by
individuals outside the Panama Canal
Company, and that these can be pur-
chased for a comparatively small sum-
Otehr obstacles to the sale, the report
rays, also have been removed.
