WILL REORCaNIzE
Farmers Cooperative Grain
Company to Increase Capital.

An important meeting of the Kansas
Farmers Cooperative Grain and Live
Stock association is being held in To-
peka, for the purpose of reorganiZing
the company, and consolidating under
one management, if possible. all of the
independent cooperative grain eleva-
tors in the state.
The company proposes to reorganize
with a capital stock of 100000, which is
many times larger than at present, and
issue stock to the owners of elevators.
in return for which the elevators will
all be placed under the general manage
ment of the Cooperative Grain and
Live Stock association
There is opposition to the plan, some
of the Independent elevators being OPP
posed to placing their business at the
absolute control of Secretary and Cen
era! Manager Butler of the association.
1t is generally admitted, however. that
some plan for a general combine or
trust among the independent elevators
would be of advantage.
The presiding officer at the meetings
which are being held is J. A. Bucklin of
Oakley, president of the Cooperative
Grain and Live Stock association. James
Butler of Topeka, is secretary. He is
the man who is especially active in
urging the reorganization of the COM
pany.
Among others who are present are H.
G. Hawkins of Winfield, c. B. Hoffman
of Enterprise, C. BoWser of Darl0w, A.
P. Collins of Salina. George Smith Of
Kensington, ". o. Matthews of Nc
Pherson. c. Peckham of Haven, James
Sparks of Bison.
On Monday meeting of the directors
was held. Most of these above men
toned gentlemen are directors in the
company. Today's meeting of the stock
holders is being held in the council
chamber at the city hall. There will be
meeting this afternoon and evening
and tomorrow.
The plans for the reorganization of
the company ARE not complete, but
when it is organized it will likely as
sumo a new name, and will be incor-
porated under the laws of some other
state besides Kansas, SO as to avoid the
provisions of the double liability law.
Secretary Butler said today: TT will
be necessary to increase the stock of
the Cooperative Grain and Live Stock
association in order to carry out our
plan. Most of the independent e1eva-
tors in the state own stock in our COM
pany but we desire to bring them all
into the merger. This association is
simply taking the lead in the movement,
and it is expected that all OF the ele-
vators will join In- The people who are
stockholders in our association, and are
here attending the meeting, are also
largely interested financially in many OF
the independent elevators out over the
state''

COLD AT WAMECO
Rich Find Is Reported in Pot
tawatomie County.
Senator Codding and Sidney
Hayden Are the Lucky Ones.

Wamego, Kan, Dec. 2.-There is great
excitement here and in Louisville, four
miles north of here. in regard to alleged
gold strikes made by the gas prospecting
company while sinking prospect shalt
near Rock Creek.
Farm land in the vicinity of the shaft is
being held at exoFbitant prices. 1t is
claimed that Henry Miller has beer 4of-
fcred S35, coo for 40 acres OF land where
the shaft has been sunk.
The existence of gold is established be
yond a doubt, the only question being how
wide an extent the field covers. The shaft
passed through a stratum of hard metallic
substance, thickly sprinkled with nodules
of iron. The noduIes vary in size from a
hickory nut to a baseball Both the
nodules and the substance in which they
are found produce gold and silver As
says have been made in Denver and in
Topeka, and the gold runs from $40 to $500
j ton
AS a mining proposition this is entirely
different from gold shale. The substance
is not shale, but = distinctly metallic
in its nature, and is said to be free
milling ore.
Senator Codding of Pottawatomie coun-
ty Sidney Hayden of Hoiton, and a NUM-
Der of other prominent citizens are in
terested in the company which has form
ed to develop the strike
The members of the company are very
reticent, and this apparent effort to con-
cedl the true state OF dildAis iiaS 4foo ECU
a veritable gold craze here. Hundreds
of men are prospecting UP and down Rock
creek. and big deals are being made for
land In the vicinity of the rich strike Peo-
pie who are on the inside of the situation
are confident that when the truth is
known about the richness of the gold
deposits. there will be a rush of people@to
this section of the state.
The strike of gold was made by a
mining prospector named Sanburne, wno
came here to drill and prospect for gas
and oil.

Poor Opinion Of the Noble

The following concerning Theodore.
Roosevelt, printed in 1886, before he
came into political prominence, will
no doubt be of interest at this time,
says the Detroit Free Press:

Theodore Roosevelt the other night,
''that [ can talk only on two subjects
the bear and the wboy-and the one
I am to handle this evening is rather
the more formidable of the two. After
all, the cowboys are not the rutfians
and desperadoes that the nickel Ii
brary paints them. Of course, in the
frontier towns. where the only recog-
nized amusements are vices, there is
more or less of riot and disorder. But
take the cowboy on his native heath,
on the roundup, and you viii fnd in
him the virtues Of courage, endurance,
good-felowship and generosity. He is
not sympathetic. The cowboy divides
an humanity into two classes, the
sheep and tbe goats-those who can
ride bucNng horses and those who
can't; and ! must say he doesn't care
much for the goats.
