It was generally approved

Good Suggestion.

The Rio Grande railway system has
miles upon miles OF track throughout
Colorado rock ballasted by nature,
one might say. 1t also has miles of
track built upon sand or what is
worse. aIkalied adobe soil which very
little moisture renders unsafe for slow
running. Unfortunately the latter
obtains between Canon City and Den
yer, where all the heavy broad guage
trains run and where the regular Wis
itation of water spouts cause delay to
the traffic and mails year in and year
out. with an occasional wreck which
goes deep into the company treasury
to make good. Not being a railroad
builder, it seems to the writer that if
that portion of the track was rock
ballasted all this expense. trouble and
delay would be obviated, and that the
saving therefrom would soon pay for
the outlay. Telluride Journal.

wrecked about $3.50 last even
ing about three miles south of

badly injured. Steele was Sc
verely scalded, the skin being
literally peeled from his right
arm and both legs. He was
taken to the company hospital

les are very painful and little
hopes of his recovery. Moore
was cut about the head but
not serious. The engine was
completely demolished. Track
not yet cleared. Wreck caused
by boulder whick spread rails.
MIR. Steele, the injured engi-
neer was a former resident of
this city, where he has a host
of friends who will be panied
to learn of his misfortune and
all are hopeful that his injuries
are not as serious as the dis
patch reports.
While running out of this
city some six or seven years
ago Mr.. Steele was in the
wreck in which Johnnie West
was killed, many of the rail-
road men living here remember
the accident.
At late hour this afternoon
A. G. Steele, also an engineer,
received a telegram from his
brother asking him to come
to Salida. He leaves tonight.

Let Canada Atoms.

Some weeks ago the REELEcroH
called attention to the folly Of Kansas
farmers emigrating to Canada.
Now the state board Of agriculture
has taken 1t up and Canadian immi-
grafton societies which are sending
agents and literature into Kansas for
the purpose Of inducing farmers here
to move to Canada, will find the op.
position Of the board bar to their
success. Secretary Coburn, 1t 70 said,
will enlist the assistance OF the Kan
sas newspapers, to prevent farmers
from leaving the state. The atten-
ton OF those who are on the point Of
accepting the offers Of the Canadian
societies, will be called to the fact
that Kansas has produced more wheat
this year than the entire territory OF
Canada, and that in addition to this
fact Kansas has the promise Of corn
yield which will greatly exceed the
yield OF the entire British possession
Ia North America.

Brown County World: Some Of the

fact that altho the legislature failed
to vote aid for flood sufferers aid from

accepted. 1t is well enough to say
the Kansas people can stand the loss
without state aid, but we fail to see
anything creditable in the refusal
Of the legislature to take action.
There 10 no difference between the
people and the state. The people are
the state. Aid voted by the legisla-
ture would have been contributed by
taxpayers, and no community would
have been taxed very heavily, but all
would have been taxed mc-e equally.

The national weather bureau al
Washington has secured sufficient
statistics to warrant Its head In
asserting that the food which did
such great damage along the Kaw
river aud Its tributaries, and subse-
quently along the lower Missouri and
lower Mississippi, this spring wss the
most disastrous In the loss Of prop
erty Of any hcod Of which data have
been obtained since the establish
ment Of the weather service. There
has been far greater loss OF life,
notably at Galveston, at Johnstown
and at other places, but the loss and
damage by the flood Of 1908 far ex'
ceeds all the others. The bureau
finds the total aggregate to be 81
millions OF dollars and the loss Of life
eleven. There is evidently some mis-
take In the number given for the loss
OF life. More than that number OF
people were drowned at both Kansas
City and Topeka. The tabulated
statement OF property losses follows:
Big Blue, $3.50, 900; Republican river,
5000, 900; Solomon river, 100000;
Smoky Hill, $l,450, 900; Kansas river,
81, 1850, 900; bridges at Kansas City,
$450,000; Missouri river, north OF
Kansas City, $2OO,Oo0i Missouri river,
east Of Kansas City, $l,500,0O0. The
flood losses along the Mississippi are
largely those to growing crops, but
the aggregate will be large.
Accompanying this report will be
the recommendation Of the bureau for
an additional flood service for Kansas.
