HOW ABOUT UNION DePors?

Kansas City is all torn up over the proposition
Of a new Union depot, to be owned and controlled,
not by the railroads, by the city but by mem
hers Of a meat merger who seek TO bend the city
and the railroads to the interest Of the said meat
merger members, or to some other outside interest.
" J. Bryan, late Democratic canoldate for Presi-
dent on silver basis writes editorial urging
Kansas City 10 build her own Union Depot charging
the railways ana express companies ct al, rentals.
The sixteen+o-one man cites the convenience of the
Union depot at ST Louis in contradiction TO the
situation at Chicago
Union depot is in the interest of and for the
convenience Of strangers, and of the travelling public
generally and not for the benefit of the town or city
Boosting such station. Chicago and New York rake
in more money than they could from Union depots.
The great per cent Of travellers glide~into a Union
depot on some one road and glide out again on an
other without contributing a cent TO the town, or
even seeing or getting any idea of the place No
town is interested in the travelling stranger any
farther than what it may get out of him.
Where the railroads OF any city are compelled to
maintain their own separate stations each station
must be provided with its full complement of ticket
sellers, clerks baggage smashers porters etc That's
much. The traveller through such city in making
connections viii not only be compelled to take
peep at his bearings but must contribute to the sup
port of the local transfer companies and local eat
ing houses. Where the connection is not close he
wanders about. takes another meal and something
maybe dropping an extra dollar or two where
as at Union depot he tackles ten cent sandwich
and sits and glowers till his train comes And there
is the local pay for transference of the mails.
A Union depot ediace if an imposing one, is
something for the city that boasts to point strang
to. but there is no money in it except for the
corporation owning it.
AT one time ARRANGEMENTS were consumated for
running all the roads reaching Wichita into one
depot, the Santa Fe. The editor of the Eagle got
in his oar with one Of the roads and blocked the
scheme and it remains for him to be convinced that
he made mistake for his town

it comes to diyinities in the guise of womanhood.
Still aside from the spiritual and material superior
tiles of Kansas we are hard to equal and impossible
to surpass when it comes to intellectual atainments
and educational methods Kansas has $40 worth of
school property for every man. and child
in the state and spends over $12 for every child of
school age each year in educating the youth Over
half of the school property belongs to the common
schools and twothirds Of the total amount of money
in the state goes to the common schools The state
owns $18O0O0OO worth of school property and spent
$6.OOO,OOO last year for school purposes.

THE WINFIELD GAS FIND.

The agricultural paradise Of Sunfowerdom is
comprised of the counties drained by the Arkansas
river and its branches. from the great bend down
to the mouth Of the Walnut river This section is
as much agriculturally superior to the balance Of
the state as the southeast corner Of Kansas is
superior to the balance Of the state fer mineral pro-
ductions aside from its salt product the paradise
defined has been, wholly given over to agriculture
and livestock These combined have lifted the great
majority Of its farmers from poverty into ndeTend-
eace For the most part the title TO the lands OF
these counties was originally obtained by borrowed
money, secured by mortgage, the rate per cent for
the first few years being five per cent per month,
or sixty per cent per annum It was struggle to
meet such an obligation. But for superiority Of
soil and Of climatic conditions what with two or
three years of insufficient precipitation in connec
ton with grasshopper devastation. the lands would
have fallen into the hands of the extortonate money
loaners But wheat and pigs, corn and steers taken
ali together proved more than equal to the greed
Of the mortgages Following the wping out of
Indebtedness came development and prosperity, not
only for the individual land holders and home own
ers Of this sunfower paradise but for the counties
and their towns and cities. For this section there
has been but one lack So far as was known it had
neither coal oil or gas The late finding Of gas at
Winfield. in indicating chances for OIL and the pos
sibity Of coal warrants the probability of gas for
several Of the counties of this section The finding
Of natural gas at Winfield, which is located several
miles west CT the Flint Hill formation insures far
Of Butler, sedgwick and Sumner. The development
Of gas wells in these three counties would warrant
a thorough prospecting Of this entire district and
probably of the one to the west Of Us. In short if
the flow of gas at Winfield proves what it promises
the question Of fuel for this section viii be, and
very soon. solved, and for a long time
