CAN STOP IMPROVEMENTS.
Western Railroads Arc Well Fixed for
Business Depression.

Officials of the construction depart
ments of various western railroads say
the physical condition of their proper
ties is in such shape that it will permit
them to run along for several years if
necessary without extraordinary i'm
provementS. From the immense
amount of new work that has been done
on western roads, especially in matter
of building rev bridges to replace the
old wooden structures, there will be
far from the large needs of the past in
maintenance expenses. This, the Off
GERS say, will mean natural retrench-
ment of the railroads without re-
linquishing a bit of the proper equip
ment and maintenance of roadways.
The railroads have worked diligently
during the last two or three years, and
all roadwayS are in excellent shape to
handle heavy trains, which will entail
less expense in operation, while at the
same time the work of putting the
physical condition of the average prop
erty in such shape has been so COM
plete that practically nothing will have
to he spent for maintenance during the
next year. Officials say it has been
part of their plan to attain this high
standard OF physical efficiency through
the presidential campaign year, when 1t
| is expected that general business will
show a shrinkage.
| The benefits are already showing.
Men have been dropped from the con-
struction departments of railroads in
great number.

Interesting History of Daniel Hughes
of Atchison.

One of the most interesting characters
in Atchison- county is Dan Hughes. the
old trapper who is at present living on

acquainted with the timber districts OF
this section than any other man. He re-
Gently returned to this locality from
hunting and trapping trip on the head va
tiers of the Kansas and Smoky Hill
rivers.
Hughes family consists of his wife and
one son. His wife is Chippewa Indian
and has the royal blood of the tribe in her
veins She recountS many Chippewa le-
gends, which a local antiquarian has
traced up, and found true to the narration
of the tribe. Her description of the prim-
tive Chippewa method of making flint ar
roWpoints is briefly as follows: The flint
is boiled in grease, and while yet hot, a
drop of cold water is allowed to fall from
the end of straw on to the spot where
a chip is desired to be taken off. By this
means, according to her account, the Chip
peyxa arroWmaker could chip away tie
flint with neatneSs and despatch, and soon
convert a rough looking stone into a neat
and effective weapon.
Hughes son and son-in-law, John Man
sell, who stays with him, are both expert
hunters and trappers. Hughes is great
believer in the medicinal properties of
skunk oil, a product which he furnishes
stores in large quantities. He AYERS TINT
