COMING THIS WAY
Topeka Sure to Be a Manufac-
turing Town.
Newest Project Is a Factory to
Build Corn Cutters.
TO ERECT A PLANT
Two or Three Story Building
Will Be Built.
From 40 to so Men to Be EN-
ployed From Start.
Automatic Weighing Machine
Will Also Be Built Here.

The coming year gives evidence of be-
ing an unusual one in the history OF
Topeka in the establishment of fac
tories here.
The newest project is that of the
firms of Warner & Potter, P. w. Griggs
& CO.. and Wolff Brothers & Cole. to
build factory for the manufacture of
sled corn cutters.
These firms have been making and
selling the corn cutters for several
years. Each firm has made small
number to meet the demands made
upon it by the trade In this manner
a number aggregating about two thou
sand were made and sold last summer.
After consolidation this company pro-
poses to build a factory here and make
this article for the market in quanti-
ties. The implement will be advertised
in all sections of the country and travel
ing representatives will be placed IN the
field.
A location for the factory has not yet
been determined upon. For a factory
of this kind it will be necessary to pro-
vide plenty of storage room. Conse-
quently the factory to be built will be
two stories high and possibly three.
1t is estimated that the factory will
give employment to at least forty or
fifty men from the start
1t is also announced that through the
efforts of the Commercial club, the fac
tory of the McLoud Brother automatic
weighing machine for Touring mills and
elevators will be located here.
The automatic weighing machine mas

lists who are investing in it.
Two Topeka men whose names Will
not be made public at this time have
taken all the stock of the company and
will begin the manufacture of the
weighing machines on a large scale as
soon as suitable location may be found.
The establishment of this factory will
give employment to at least fifty men
from the start. The demand for the
automatic weighers will be practically
unlimited, and for this reason it is be-
lieved the factory here will soon grow
to twice or three times it's original size.
club that was engaged in locating the
industry in Topeka has been nearly
nine months in doing it, The project
was looked upon at first with distrust.
But since the practical test given it
by the Page mills, its advantages and
practicability were fully demonstrated.
The Buchey hay stacker factory will
be again opened this spring after six
months idleneSs.
The .Buchey hay stacker plant was
located in Topeka less than a year ago,
and owing to the dry weather that
ruined the hay crop in Kansas the
stacker plant was shut down. 1t will
be opened again with force of twenty
five or thirty employees.
The automobile factory now located
at CherryvaIe is another of the possi-
bilities of Topeka Negotiations are
from Cherryvale to Topeka, where 1t
may have the advantages of a railroad
center.
The Commercial club will pursue an
active policy during the coming year
for the location of more factories in
Topeka.

MUCH COAL STOLEN.
FRISCO Road at Fort Scott Loses 100
Bushels Every Day.

Fort Scott, Jan. 20.-In police court
Saturday afternoon Bill Barnes was
fined $5 for stealing lumber from the
Frisco road, which was used for fuel.
A man named Tucker and his son were
also in court on the charge of stealing
coal. Tucker was fined $5 and the boy
was let off with a good lecture. The
company managers in this city say that
they lose about 100 bushels of coal every
day.
Chief of Police Conway says he is
convinced that there are people in town
who steal two or three bushels at a
time and then bring it up town and sell
it. Every day some one brings a three
or four bushel bag of coal to the square
and sells it.

The semi-annual report of the state
treasurer which appears in another
column gives some figures that will be
of general interest through the state.
The magniicence of the school endow-
ment Of the state is proven by the fact
that the sale of a fraction of the lands
belonging to the common schools
brought into the permanent school
fund over a million dollars in the last
few months. OF this amount, a little
over 100000 has been paid in cash
and the balance will be paid in install
ments OF that amount every five years
until the entire purchase price is paid.
Payments OF taxes for the year 1901
have not been heavy yet, as the date
for final payment Of these taxes is not
reached until February 1. When
these taxes have been paid in, the
state will be in better financial condi-
ton than it has been for many years.
The provisions made by the last legis-
lature for maintaining the educational
institutions OF the state by a special
tax OF one mill relieves the general
fund OF burden and enables that fund
to be used for the payment of current
expenses and OF overdrafts In the past.

board OF auditors for the collection Of

Senator Hale of Devils Lake in his
anxiety to guard the peoples interests
has been studying the merger PROPOSE
tion and concludes it is a bad thing.
Not only is it a bad deal but, in Mr..
Hale's opinion, it is entirely unneces-
sary for the people of North Dakota
to submit and to substantiate his posi-
ton quotes from sections al and 146
of the state constitution-the first pro-
hibiting parallel and competing rail-
road corporations from consolidating
their stock, and the latter section pro-
hibiting combinations between indi-
viduals Dr. corporations having for its
object or effect the controlling of the
price Of any product of the soil, or any
article of manufacture, etc. Unfor-
tunately for Mr.. Hale's argument the
constitution applies only to corpora
lions organized in North Dakota. The
Northern Pacific is a foreign corpora
tion-obtained it's charter many years
before North Dakota was a state and
our constitution does not apply. We
can, however, regulate rates and pre-
vent unjust discrimination but we can
not snuff the corporation out of exist
ence or prevent any person or persons
from buying it or owning it, if they
have the inclination and the price.

The wonderful development of the
Burlington railway system, as shown
by the last official report, is calculated
to make n even less avaricious than
Jim Hill envious. The official report
of the president made in 1855, stated
that the company owned IS miles of
road; that it had 300 cars and Is loco
motives. Its earnings for the year
were 100000 and its capital account
was $1,90O,OO0. In 1901 a later pres
ident reported that company owned
S,166 miles Of road; that it had A, 900
cars and 1900 engines; its earnings
for the preceding year had been over
$50, 1000, 900, and it's capital was $780,
100000, while the number Of employees
was 32,6SO, to whom it has paid in
wages almost $21, O0O. 900. From the
struggling experiments as a railroad,
between Galesburg and a point % miles
out of Chicago, owning a dozen little
engines vigorously consuming cord
wood, it has developed into a great
continental railway, t~raversing IL
states of the union, carrying as passen-
gers 100000 0 persons every year., and
connecting. such important centers of
commerce as Chicago, st. Louis, Kan
sas City, Denver, Omaha, Peoria, Min
neapolis and st. Paul.

I have a few words to say regarding
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It
saved my little boys life and I feel
that I cannot praise it enough. I
bought a bottle of it from A. E. Steere,
of Goodwin, S. D., and when I got
home with it the poor baby could hard
ly breathe. I gave the medicine as
directed every ten minutes until he
threw up" and then I thought sure he
was going to choke to death. We
had to pull the phlegm out Of his

DR.. H.. H. Healy, superintendent of
he state board of health, has received
reports of owe fifty cases of SMALLPOX
since the first of the year from different
parts of the state. There is a gradual
increase of the disease from all direc-
lions, and the conditions existing en-
phasize the %soundness OF the predic-
tions of all the local physicians made
some time ago, to the effect that before
spring there would be more cases Of
smallpox in the state than there had
been during the summer by a large
majority. For this reason they have
all been advocating the greatest care
on the part of the general public, with
every endeayor ITO aid the physicians
in stamping 1t out as much as %
sible.

IMMIGRANTS BY THOUSANDS
ESTIMATE OF THE RAILROAD OF
. F1CIALS AT ST. PAUL AS TO THE
MOVEMENT OF SETTLERS TO
THE NORTHWEST.

MOVEMENT OF SETTLERS TO
THE NORTHWEST.
General passenger agents of the
roads centering in St Paul are making
estimates of the number of settlers and
homeseekers who will be carried out
of the twin cities to the northwest be-
tween the first Of March and the last
of April. The estimates range all the
way from $4,000 to 10000, and some
authorities put it higher than the latter
number.
Colonization rates this year are on a
different basis from those Of last year,
and the dates are SO arranged that the
movement of settlers will continue
uniformally for sixty days, instead OF
being condensed into one or two days
per week for the eight weeks. Last
year the latter practice was found to
be unsatisfactory. The movement
was larger than expected. Wednes-
days and Thursdays every week for
eight weeks the ranscontinentaI roads
were compelled to run out their trains
In two and three sections, doubling the
cost Of transportation, and disarrang-
ing the whole passenger service.
The bulk Of settlers will come from
Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and
Michigan.
The movement of settlers westward
is not confined to any one OF the states,
