MAY BE FIXED VI.
Differences Between Mayor Par
ker and Mr.. Bergundthal.

Strong efforts are being made by the
administration to patch up the breach
which has occurred with Councilman
BergundthaI of the First ward. Mayor
Parker and some of his lieutenants have
been in active consultation over the case,
and it is said that Bergundthal will be
given a large voice in the business Of the
administration hereafter, provided he win
take off his war paint and come back to
the reservation.
But another element of the admins
tratiOn hxers are urging Mayor Parker
to stand firm, and trust to the people of
the First ward to punish Bergundthal
does not stand by the administration.
This advice is not likely to be needed
unless all other methods of effecting a
compromise fail.
There are some jobs to be given away
soon at the city electric light plant. A
slate is now in process of construction,
and il is said that if Mr.. Bergundthal
is so inclined he will be given a large
voice in naming the people on that
slate. In this way he can take care OF
some of his constituents and restore
himself into power in the First ward.
Bergundthal is not inclined to scare
much at the threat of defeat at the
polls, on the charge that he does not
help Mayor Parker carry out his plans.
Bergundthal claims that he does not
care whether he is elected or not He
him back in the council because he has
made q good record there. The dis
elimination against Mr.. Bergundthal is
foolish Nothing should be thrown in
his way, for he is one of the most val
liable members of the city council

CURBSTONE FIGHT.
Ramsey, Of Topeka, Opens Fort
Scott Quarry.

Charles 3. Ramsey is interested IN
opening up a new stone quarry at Fort
Scott. and IS taking out curbstones
which will be used this summer in fill
ing the big contract awarded to Mr..
Ramsey this spring. Mr.. Ramsey Sc
cured the contract for furnishing all the
Fort Scott curbstones for Topeka this
year.
This is quite an unexpected move. and
has set the pavement contractors in
Topeka to guessing. 1t is likely to re-
suit in cheap curbing for Topeka.
simultaneous with the announcement
of the work which the Ramsey firm IS
doing, comes the news that r. b. KEEP
ley has been re-emplOyed by Gilfillan 4
Drake of Fort Scott as their Topeka
representative. displacing NJ. W. Gil
more who cut Mr.. Kepley out Of the
place some months ago. Mr.. Kepley
has appointed Fred Webster as his To-
cal representative, and will make Il
strong fight for future Fort Scott stone
contracts.
It is stated that Mr.. Kepley not only
forced Drake & Gfilfillan to restore their
agency to him. but also secured con-
siderable cash bonus on the deal KEEP
ley claimed when the agency was ia
ken from him and given to Gilmore,
that Gilmore had misrepresenteds the
facts, and he proceeded to enforce mis-
& Drake. The lawsuit apparently
brought the Fort Scott firm of stone
men TO time, and they abrogated their
contract with Mr. Gilmore, 1t is now
Gilmore's turn to threaten suit
When Chas. Ramsey put in a bid of
A cents per lineal foot Tor Fort Scott
blue sandstone curbing. it was supDos-
ed that he proposed to buy the stone
from Gilhllan & Drake, which has in the
past furnished practically all Of the
Fort Scott stone laid in Topeka But
when he came to figure with r. B. KEEP
ley, who by that tine had regained his
credentials as agent for that stone, it is
said that he could not get a rate which
was satisfactory. After considerable
dickering, which brought the date dan
gerOusly near to the time when the paw
ing opera tons would be in full blast,
MI. Ramsey went direct to Fort Scott
and arranged for a stone quarry of his
own
load of stone from the new quarry to
Topeka on Monday Some of the paw
ing contractors in the city think that
Ramsey's venture viii prove a bad fin
ancial move, because of the fact that
he will have hard time to develop a
market for the large quantity of stone
which is unsuitable for curbstOnes. but
which has to be taken out in the course
of the work. He will also meet stiff
competition from Gilfllan & Drake, and
other Fort Scott quarries, which have
we'll to themselves. The competition
may result in a season of cheap curb
stones. The standard price for Fort
Scott stone is A cents per foot. ChaS.
Ramsey got the contract this spring at
one cent under the old rate.

Mountain storm Prevails.

Denver. April 1.-THE storm which
has prevailed over almost the entire
country from this city west and north
has caused general delay in railroad
traffic. No serious damage is yet report
ed, but the change from rain to a heavy,
wet snow interspersed with sleet and
hail, may have caused suffering to cat
tie on the open ranges. Train have been
delayed from one to four or five hours
Indications are that the storm condi-
tons win continue today.

His Quarterly Report Devoted
to This Important Subject.
COST OF PRODUCTION.
Finds That It is 1871 For
Twenty Bushels.
Explains Difference Between
Hard and Soft Wheat.

The March quarterly report of the
Kansas department of agriculture is
just from the press of the state printer
1t is devoted primarily to wheat grow
ing, and it is probable that no more
valuable report for the Kansas farmer
was ever published
In addition TO nearly 200 pages deVo-
ted to wheat, the March quarterly con-
tains the proceedings of the annual
meeting of the state board of agricul-
ture in July, and also a report of sugar
beet culture in Kansas. as well as a
paper on the destruction of gophers and
prairie dogs.
The wheat section of the report con-
tains q number OF papers on the proper
cultivation of wheat selection of seed,
different varieties and the insects which
injure 1t. But perhaps the most practl-
cal portion of the entire work is the
personal experience of 120 of the leading
wheat growers of the state, representing
S. counties. 1t would be difficult to get
anything more correct on the subject Of
wheat raising than these experiences
No one can dispute them. They are bas-
ed on years OF experience. The manner
in which they were secured shows what
has given the reports issued by Secre-
tary Coburn their worldwide reputation
! for accuracy.
In the first place, Secretary COburn
secured from the county treasurers N
all the leading wheat counties OF the
state the names of a half dozen of the
largest wheat growers in each county.
/ County treasurers are always acquaint-
ed with such n en-. Then to each of these
big wheat growers Secretary Coburn
sent a list of questions, asking how
1 long they had been raising wheat, how
much they raised, the detailed cost, and
a large number Of other questions. When
! the replies were received 120 of those
/ which seemed to be the most represen-
/ tative were selected. and the replies
were formulated into a straightforward
statement. This statement was type
written and each one was returned to
the farmer and he was asked if it was
! correct and if there was anything he
wished to add or eliminate. When the
replies came back they were duly cor
rected and in that form they are pub
! ished.
These 12O wheat growers have been
raising wheat on an average 10 years
each. and they raised an average of 527
acres each.
A consensus of the detailed state
ments of 800 representative Kansas
winter wheat growers. representing ST
different counties. as to the cost to pro-
| duce and put in the bin or car an acre
crop of wheat, yielding 20 bushels, is

In his Introduction to the report Sec
rotary Coburn points out the difference
between the uses of hard and soft
wheat He says hard wheat is be-
coming known as the best for bread
purposes, while the soft variety is the
better for pastry and crackers. He also
says
"Forty-one years ago the Kansas area
sOWn to wheat of all kinds, winter and
spring, hard. medium, and soft, white
acres For ten years ending with 1901
the average has been 4,436, ABS acres
and the yield per year, counting the
good with the bad, was more than 49,
450, 600 bushels, while in the year 1901
there were harvested SPAS, 547 acres of
winter wheat alone, yielding grain
grading as high as any preceding crop
grown. The largest area previously
sown to winter wheat was 1905, 972
acres, from which the crop of 1898 was
harvested. and the states largest prod
uct was 90,045.514 bushels, in the year

That Minnesota is a great wheat state

the Year book of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, Minnesota had, in
1900 considerably larger, acreage in

as greater by more than so per cent, and
it's value greater by 40 per cent
LAS it becomes wider and better known
Kansas wheat is in constantly Increasing
demand and her breadstuff output success
fully completes with the best from all other
places. While wheat may be grown in ev-
cry county, about 70 per cent. or 4. 406, 076
bushels of the tremendous output of 1901
was grown in 30 counties. namely in order
of their rank of production, Sumner lead
ing. with 6.S19 266 bushels: Barton Rice
Mcpherson. Reno, Stafford. Sedgwick
Harper Saline, Ellsworth, Pratt Mitchell
Ottawa, Dickinson. Osborne. Kingman
Harvey, Ellis Cowley. Lincoln. Marshall
and CLAY. none yielding less than one mill
lion bushels. Their total 1901 area in wheat
was 3.S62,375 acres. or T265 per cent of the
states entire wheat field. Thus it will be
seen that in the chief wheat growing
region Of Kansas the increase in sowing
has been phenomenal
1T is believed that fully 40 per. cent Of
Kansas wheat is made into flour within
her own borders, while probably another 35
or 40 per cent Is marketed at Kansas City,
