A new phase in the fight between the White Pass people and the Northern Com mercIll Company may be an effort to get the Canadlin government to refuse to per init American bottoms to carry Canadian gods in bond from the Sound to St. Michael nd through to Dlwson. The fight between the White Pass Company and the Northern Commercial Company, it Is sild bids well to be one Of the features of the work of the coming season. The White Pass Ralr,ad Co. Is 6shtlng the Northern Commercial Go. to protect lts own large interests In the North, and those who are in close touch with the northern trade situation realize that the White Pass Is fighting the battle of the retail merch' ants oi Dlwson, whose existence Is threatened by the big company.
 The Anur brings tbe news Of the new phase, the big fight Is likely to asSnms. The story Is that J.

PHELPS MAY BUILD A TOWN.
Buying up Land on Probable BagneII
Branch Route.

One Of the hopeful signs pointing 10
the early construction Of the Baguell
branch Of tho Missouri Pacific railway
Into Carthage is the fact that Col. w.
II. Phelps, the Missouri Pacific attorney
has for some time past been surround
ing his farm northeast OF Carthage with
additional purchases OF" land with the
rumored intention Of locating a town
there Nh9n the new railroad comes
through. The supposition is that the
survey is to run through his land.
Col. Phelps already owns five or six
hundred acres on Dry Fork, nine or ten
miles northeast Of this city, and has
been buying more Of late. There are
persistent rumors of rapid progress on
the Bagnell branch and tho Jefferson
City papers state that the work is being
rapidly pushed southw, stward. Bag.
nell town In the Missouri hills proba-
bly, % miles this side OF Jefferson City.
The road is already built tnat far, aud
it is from that town that the proposed
branch to Carthage takes its name.
Railway officials are generally credited
with knowing more about railway eI-
tension than some other people. A
friend Of Col. Phelps Is said recently to
have remarked TO him: "You1l
have a switch track built at your farm
when the Bagnell comes through,
reckonY"
Something better than switch
track" was the colonel't significant
reply.-Carthuge Press.

OFFERS THE BEST BARGAINS.
So Says Secretary Wilson Concern
Ing F1issouri

Secretary Wilson Of the Department
OF agriculture, after q visit to the North,
eastern States, announces from Wash
ington that "there is great land hun
ger every where, and that by far the best
bargains are to be found in Missouri"
To his amazement the Secretary OF Ag-
riculturs finds that rich farming lands
are cheaper 10 Missouri than in other
States,
He finds also that Missouri farmers
are prosperous, and that they will be es-
pecially and exceptionally prosperous
this year, in as much as the corn crop
Of Missouri has not been injured. "This
is big year for Missouri" says Secre-
tary Wilson.
These discoveries or the part Of Secre
tary Wilson will undoubtedly have
the effect OF stimulating a tremendous
interest in the matter Of settlement and
investment in Missouri. They arc in
line with earlier nnnou ncements Of Mis-.
souri's advantages coming from no less
authority than one Of the Roth
childs,lwho some years ago, pointed the
certainty of big returns from investment
in this State. Such proclamstions Of
the desrability CT Missouri farming land
should be used TO the utmost advantage
by the prof. er state authorities and by
railroads interested in the States devel-
ment. nt.-Requblic.

RAILROAD TALK.
New Road Through This Section
Seems Probable.


Mondays Kansas City Journal con.
tains the following railroad talk which
will be Of interest to the people Of this
section. From this account it appears
that the proposed road will pass through
Golden City and possibly Jasper since 1t
would be on direct line from Jerico 10
Neck City and the mineral belt 10 Jas.
per county whore the proposed road will
run on its way to the Indian Territory.
The third Of the nc rtheast and south
west roads projected through Missouri
Is 10 run from point on the st. Louis,
khusas City & Colorado, perhaps be-
tween Versailles and Eldon, and is to
pass through Camden, Hickory, Cedar,
Dade, Barton aud Jasper counties,
touching at Humansville aud Jerico,
and crossing the Kansas City Southern
somewhere from Pittsburg, Kans., to
Joplin, Mo.
Promoters OF this route took the field
last week. At Jerico a meeting was
held at Armory hall last Friday, when
representatives Of the proposed road
were present, aud said 1t would be call
ed the "St. Louis, Jerico Springs q
Something" the last name having not
yet been decided upon, and that it was
to run southwest into Oklahoma and
Texas. The citizens Of Jerico subscri.
bed 10000, and promised the right Of
way for ten miles on either side Of the
town. From Jerico the promoters went
to Golden City. They told the people
they we're representing Philadelphia
syndicate This is believed TO be the
same crowd that Is promoting a
road from FL Reno northeast, and it Is
supposed the two lines are to connect at
some point between Pittsburg and
Columbus, Kans. This would parallel
the Frisco to the north for the entire
distance Of the proposed road, and
would connect at FL Reno with both the
Rock Island ard ChoctAw.
As projected 10 Missouri, II would
open up the coal fields and an iron field
in the vicinity Of Sylvania aud Jerico,
zinc fields in Hickory, iron 10 Camden,
and the new zinc field about Neck City,
in Jasper county, provided the line runs
though that county instead OF TO the
north of 1t, and through the Barton
county coal fields.

What Four Inehes Of Rain Amount I,

What Four Inches OF Rain Amount To
In view of the fact that this section
has just received four-inch rain fall.
it may be interesting to know what four
inches of water means. A little figur
ing shows that it means two and one half
gallons Of water to each and every foot
Of surface, l0S, 800 gallons per acre. AL
lowing 40 gallons to the barrel it would
be 2,72218 barrels per acre, and 435. 800
barrels to each farm OF l60 or l,743 600
barrels to each square mile Of surface.
As Jasper county has about 600 miles
Of area, it would be COO times as much
or l,0i6, 10000 barrels. Could all this
vast amount Of water be gathered to-
gether it would Ill lako five miles
