The first decisive step in the building of
a three-story hotel on the corner of Water
street and Douglas avenue was taken
yesterday when Louis Klstler purchased
all the interests now connected with the
Orient hotel. Henry Schuitzler purchased
the corner about a year ago, with a view
TO re-embellishing it with a modern up
Io-date horel building. but has held back
hoping that he would be able 10 find a
suitable party TO lease IL. A great many

THEY WANT
COTTONW00DS
Indiana Firm Would Open a
Branch Excelsior Factory
IF THEY CAN GET TIMBER
Chamber of Commerce Has
Several Good Propositions.
IF THEY CAN GET TIMBER

A. R. Taylor, agent OF the Frisco Rail-
way company. was in the city Friday and
yesterday and called on the Chamber of
Commerce. The Frisco company has a
commission that looks up factories that
have great business in the west md in
duces them # possible 10 establish a
branch factory IL some prominent point
where their trade is good. The company
now realizes that Wichita controls The
trade of the southwest, and they sent Mr..
Taylor here to see what inducements this
city could offer to get branch factories
which would employ large numbers OF
men TO come here.
Mr. Taylor had three companies that
desire branch houses in the southwest
and he submitted their propositions 10
the Chamber of Commerce. The Murray
Excelsior compony of Nashville. Indiana,
enjoys an immense business throughout
the southwest, and they have decided
that a branch house is a necessity. They
must be located where they can get
large quantities of cottonwood, from
which excelsior is made, and they think
that southern Kansas produces enough
of this variety Of timber TO keep them
supplied. ley asked Mr.. Taylor to look
into the matter for them. They asked
no bonus. All they want is cottonwood
to keep their plant running. Mr.. Taylor
stated that the company was aware that
they could get a great deal of business
in this section if they could locate where
there is plenty of the timber required, so
that the freight rates would not be SO
high.
Mr.. Taylor asked that the secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce prepare SOM
statistics about the cottonwood in this
section and submit them to the company
and the Frisco would do all they could
to get the firm to locate here. He said
that their investment here would be from
$40 900 to $50 600 and that they would
spend large sums of money each year for
wood and wages.
The Brant Paint s. Color company II
Princeton, Indiana, also wants a branch
house here. and thay asked Mr. Taylor to
look into the matter of getting a suitable
building for them and see what induce
ments this city would offer for the es-
Enlistment of a factory.
The W. E. Daugherty Gas Machine com
pany also wants to come to Wichita,
and as they have at present little trade
in this section they asked what the Cham
Der Of Commerce would do toward help.
Ing them establish themselves in this city
and tributary territory.
Mr.. Smith. secretary Of the Chamber of
Commerce, has already begun work on
the three propositions and he is receiv-
ing the support of the business men
He viii take up the excelsior factory
first, and there is no doubt that before an
other year big bales of excelsior will be
shipped out of Wichita.

Especial Correspondence-)
PILGRIMS will search in vain
| for the first home of Sir Wal
=, a ter Scott, the house in College
49, "a Wynd, Edinburgh, where his
little brothers and sisters
(1759-1766) persisted in infancy"
That house, as far as 1 can trace it,
must have stood very close to the
site of Kirk O. Field, where Darnley,
the husband of Queen Mary, was mur-
dered in 1867. But College Wynd
does not seem to have existed at the
time of the murder; it probably was
built not long afterwards, on the gar
dens or waste lands of the Black
Friar's Monastery, or of the town
house of the Duke of Hamilton. Short
ly after Scott's birth his family moved
to Georges Square, then new and
fashionable, as, with its site near the
meadows, it is still comfortable and
airy. Strong, square-built, and COM
modious is the dwelling; it was from
the window of this house, perhaps,
that Scott's father threw the teacup
out of which Murray of Broughton, the
betrayer of Prince Charles, had drunk.
Certainly the boy, Walter, treasured
the saucer, "Broughton's saucer"

bones and similar "gabions" Gas he
called them) in his little study in
Georges Square. But, on reflection,
think that the date of the legal deal
fngs of the traitor Murray with Mr.
Scott q have seen the actual papers)
was earlier in date than the move to
Georges Square. The pavement of
College Wynd, not of the square, must
have rung to the fall of the historical
teacup.
Scott dwe1t longer in no one place
than in Georges Square, a place little
altered, and worthy of a visit from
the pilgrim.
Scott was about three years old
when he went to his kinsfolk at Sandy
Knowe. The view from the tower
takes in Melrose, which he made i'm
MORALLY famous, and Hume Castle, SO
renowned in Border wars. Here the
child learned to read, studied Hardik-
mute, made friends with sheep and
shepherds, and took that romantic ply
which made him the Border minstrel
and historian.
After his marriage Scott rented a
house in South Castle Street. Its in
terror does not repay pilgrimage, nor
is much to be said about the house
in North Castle street, where he lived,
when in Edinburgh, till 1926. In the

house; here is the great bureau at
which he wrote, containing the bright
locks of hair cut from the heads of
his little brothers and sisters, who
died in childhood. Here is everything
beside which Scott grew old, fighting,
to the loss of intellect and of life, the
battle for honor. Here, in the dining
room, he died, through the open win
dow came the murmur of Tweed, his
requiem. The halls are crowded with
ghosts of the fair, the famous, the
noble, of the bores whom he suffered
gently, of the family and the friends
who loved him; of Lockhart, the loyal
heart, who died here also, and hence
carried into peace the burden and the
mystery of his sorrows-
At the feet of Scott, in the beautiful
ruined Dryburgh, Lockhart sleeps, and
the Tweed murmurs by their tombs.
At Dryburgh ends our pilgrimage, and
here is that last home of which Scott

The BENEFITS that win undoubtedly
result to farmers from the recent In
corporation of the International Har-
vestee Company which took over the
business of the i've leading harvester
manufacturers have probably not
been considered by large portion of
the farming community.
The economical necessity OF con-
solidation of the interests OF manufac-
turers and those of their farmer Gus
toners must De apparent to any one
who understands the present situar
ton.
The increased and increasing cost
OF material, manufacturing and sell
ing-the latter in consequence OF ex-
treme and bitter competition between
manufacturers and their several sell
ing agents-has made the business
improbable.
The two alternatives left for the
manufacturers were either the In
creasing of the prices of machines or
the reduction of the cost of manufac-
ture and sales. The latter could only
be accomplished by concentrating the
business in one company.
AS can readily be seen, the forming
of the new company was not stock
jobbing operation but a centering OF
mutual interests. There is no watered
stock; the Capitalization is con-
sentative and represented by actual
and tangible assets. There is no
stock offered to the public, it having
all been subscribed and paid for by
the manufacturers and their associ-
ates.
The management of the Interna-
tional Harvester Company is in the
hands of well known, experienced
men.
The officers are: President, Cyrus
H. Mccormick; Chairman Executive
Committee, Charles Deering; Chair
man Finance Committee, George w.
Perkins; Vice-Presidents, Harold F.

tary and Treasurer, Richard F. Howe.

The International Harvester Com
pany owns five of the largest harves-
ter plants in existence. The Cham
pion, Deering. Mccormick, Milwaukee
and Plano-p1ants that have been
producing nearly or quite 80 per cent
of the harvesting machines of the
world.
1t also owns timber and coal lands,
blast furnaces and a steel plant; it
has a new factory in the process of
construction in Canada.
1t is believed that the cost of pro-
ducing grain, grass and corn harvest
| ing machines will be so reduced thet
the present low prices can be con-
| tinued, and that consequently the re-
suits cannot be otherwise than bene-
fetal to the f.rmer. To maintain the
