INTEREST IN WINNIE BUILDING
III. ". Walt Sold It 10 Ira Cook and
Son for $50. 900 Cash.

The Newton Kansan-Republican says:
H N. Walt has sold a half interest in the
big Winnie building in Wichita TO Ira Cook
of this city and his son John for $4,000 in
cash. The deal was closed yesterday and
on April John Cook will take charge of
the building as manager and will there
after look after the collection of rents, re-
pairs and other matters pertaining TO the
care and management of the building.
His salary will be $1,000 year.
Mr.. Cook is one of Harvey county's we'll
TODD citizens who until recently was act
lively engaged in farming. He has made
his money in this way which proves that
farming can be made to pay Handsomely
in Kansas If carried on wisely and care
fully. Starting from a very humble begin
ming, Mr.. Cook has prospered as result
of his energy and good judgment and until
recently owned a large amount of Harvey
county farm land. Much OF this land he
sold during the last few weeks in order to
close the Wichita deal and no doubt more
will be disposed of during the next few
days. Mr.. Cooks experience is only an
other proof of the fact that farming can
be made to pay well in Kansas when
properly carried on.
II. M Walt purchased the Whine build
ing bilt q few months ago for S75 200.

THREAT OF ABANDONMENT.
McLean's Election Will Mean Loss of
J.. S. Jenkins.

]. S. Jennings, poet laureate and social
reformer, the man who claims to have
brought Peter Cooper TO the front, one OF
the pillars OF the Greenback movement,
and a leading light in Populism, stated
last night with a determined look in his
face that he will leave town Immediately
and never return If Ben Mclean is elected
mayor. He blames the Mclean admin
istration for all his ancient troubles. such
as the failure of his paper, the New Re-
public. fifteen or twenty years ago, ana
the Quarantining of his person for small
pox during the dying year of the last
century The New Republic lost out along
about the time William Greiffenstein was
mayor and Mr.. Jennings was quaran-

nings to depart is the most serious thing
that has developed so far in the cam
paign and it cannot fail TO scare those
who are betting $40 TO IS on Mclean.

CONNECTIONS
ARE CONF LETED
Orient Lines are Completed
Into Milton.
CARMEN CELEBRATED
Trains VIII Run Into Wichita
April First.

At 9 o'clock yesterday morning the ORR
ent railroad made connection with the
Missouri Pacific at Milton. something the
people of Wichita have been anxiously
waiting for for many weeks. w. c. Ed
wards, chief engineer, w. P. Parret and
Vice President w. \. Williams of the con-
struction company were present when the
connecting rails were laid.
This connection was expected to be
made several weeks ago, but while the
work was pushed whenever it was pos
sible the weather and condition Of the
ground greatly delayed it. For almost two
weeks several feet of snow filed the cuts
making it impossible to finish the grading
and it was necessary to carry the snow
away in wheelers before the work could go
ahead A large part of the time the
ground was frozen and the construction
company is not allowed to use frozen dirt
in a grade. The favorable weather of the
past two weeks has allowed the work 20
be rushed through and now that the con-
nection has been made with the Missouri
Pacific. Orient trains will begin running
into Wichita April LIST
The schedule has been arranged and
trains will run as follows. beginning April
1st: Passenger viii leave Carmen at $50
a. m. and arrive at Wichita at s:11 a. m.
Will leave Wichita at 6 p. m. and arrive
at Carmen 10 p. m. Freight will leave
Carmen at a. m. and another will leave
Conway at the same time, giving a
freight each way daily.
Carmen is at present the southern end OF
the line. Rails were laid into Carmen last
Thursday and the event was the occasion
of a big celebration by Carmen citizens
The last rails were laid by fourteen OF
pCarmens business men. The occasion Will
be long remembered by Carmen people.
Mr. Edwards returned from Milton yes
terday and went TO Kansas City last
night. He has three outfits at work be-
tween Milton and Wichita and the line
will be continued into Wichita as soon
as possible. Until it is finished the Mis-
souri, Pacific tracks will be used. The
Orient will run her first trains into

From Hawaiian Island.

Attorney Frank Harris received a
letter Monday from L D. Dart,
formerly of Weiser. who is now a
resident of Hilo, Hawaiian Island.
Mr.. Dart speaks very enthusiastically
of the islands. Says sugar cane
land can be purchased for $12 an
acre on five years time. The cane
is worth from 81. 80 to So, 90 per ton,
and they raise from 40 to 100 tons
per acre. Three or four crops are
raised before replanting is necessary.
Says apples cannot be raised there,
but bananas, cocoanuts lines anC
other topic fruits grow wild, and the
yield is very prolific.
MIR. Dart says the great need OF
the country is more white men to de-
velop it. There is great profit in the
sugar. It's worth $4,000 ton, ant
it takes but six or eight tons of cane
to make ton of sugar.

the new county if formed.
The Indian valley representative
reported majority of Indian valley
opposed to division.
Information was had that Mead
ows was opposed.
Representative from Seven Devils
said that part of the county was
heartily in favor.
During discussion, intelligence
was conveyed that there was a move
on foot in northern Washington and
southern Idaho counties to change
the boundary line to run through
Landore to Clay's place on Little
Salmon, putting most of Seven Devils
and Black Lake In Idaho county.
This would lose half a million of
taxable mining property to Washing
ton. Grangeville Is backing the pro-
ject and agrees to build wagon
road from Pollock to Black Lake to
divert trade that way. The people
in that section would prefer a new
county to going into Idaho.
No definite action was taken at the
meeting.
