It is known that the agents Of the
property wanted to raise the price to
about 5000 an acre. The reports to the
department are to the effect that fair
valuation is SIPS per acre.
The government could of course take
means to. condemn the lane required if
it wanted it bad enough to take such
course and accept it after it had been
appraised in the regular way.
The secretary Of war does not wish TO
adopt such a course He is committed

purchase, but is ready to abandon the

BRUSH RoAsTs HERRMANN.
New York Magnate Ridicules Cincin.
natl Owner.


New York, June 17.-President John
T. Brush of the New York club, is
unalterably opposed TO a merger of the
National and American Leagues into
a tweIve-club organization. When ask
ed if the idea struck him favorably he
replied:
mo. and what is more, Ban john
son and Harry Hermann can not frame
up anything for me. 1t was not so long
ago that Ban Johnson and American
League boomers in general threw up
both hands whenever q tWelVe-cluD
league was even hinted at. What has
caused the sudden change of front2
There must be some reason for john
sons new scheme. and possibly 1t can be
found right in his own organization.
The National League is all right-never
was more prosperous-so why should II
look for consolidation?
NE Hermann is a large-hearted
goodnatured gentleman, but he has not
been in baseball long enough to fully
understand it. With a liberality that
was touching last winter he presented
Sam Crawford to the Detroit Club in
the interest of peace and good will:
Mr.. Hermann has put the Cincinnati
Club in q big and deep hole by MS
kindness. If the Cincinnati Club had
Crawford now it would have one OF the
best outfielders in the country and stlll
have Kelley on first base. That SHOWS
how far Mr.. Hermann looks ahead IN
baseball. Again. Mr.. Hermann form
ulated a schedule last winter that called
for an interchange of games between
the National and American Leagues
during the championship season I,hls
looked very nice to him on paper, pul
it was not feasible It could not be
done With any degree of reason; still it
was an olive branch swish, and Garry
got lots Of credit for it until he was
rudely awakened by reasonable facts.
Now Mr. Hermann may have some
ROSY idea of his own, possibly painted
by Ban Johnson, about a twelve-clubo
league, but he is only dreaming again.
When asked if there would be a way
to stop the consolidation If attempted
here, Brush said quickly;
"Well. I think there could be way
found to prevent it..

Experience of ". s. Carson With the
Hood at Kansas City.
Did you ever see a man in a poker
game bet every cent he had on three
aces? Well. that is what w. S. Car
son, superintendent of Missouri Pacific
terminals at Kansas City, did last
Wednesday. But the stakes Were big
ger probably than were ever played in
a poker game. He had bet seven moguI
locomotives that the Missouri Pacific
bridge wouldn't go out-this in the face
OF the fact that seventeen bridges
across the Kew had already gone. And
h4 won. Now the Missouri Pacific has
the only bridge across the Kaw at that
place. When Mr.. Carson saw that his
company's bridge was likely TO go the
way the others went he took desper-
ate chance. He decided to weight the
bridge down with moguI locomotives.
Seven of them, representing a value Of
$l25.000, were run out on the trembling
else. that if the bridge went the engines
would go with it. but he took the
chance and took it alone, for the city
was cut off from communication with
the other heads Of departments, and
there was no one to consult with. Had
the bridge and engines gone, his job
would have gone. and with it a large
share of his reputation as man of
sound Judgment. But the plan was a
winner, and now his stock is away
