ut Shows That the State Has Lost
Large Number of Towns In the
Last Year.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 14.-The official
railroad map of Kansas for 1908, which
was issued Saturday by the board OF
railway commissioners, shows that the
state has lost large number Of towns
in the last year. The loss Of these
towns is the result Of the spread of the
rural free mail delivery system, which
has wiped out the little post offices.
Then number of the boom towns have
gradually shrunken in size until TIL
railway commission refuses to take
.cognizance of them longer. Nearly
every county in the state has lost or
gained towns in the year. The name
of one river in the state has been
changed. 1t is that of the Grasshop-
DER, which is changed to Delaware.
