On Mayrath Place Shows Crop Of
Fifteen Bushels.
Mic Mayrath has some interesting
figures on wheat raising in Ford county.
Mr.. Mayrath always keeps a close account
Of the acreage he plants in all kinds Of
crops, the cost Of seed and the entire ex.
peuse of putting in the crop A short
time ago Mr.. Mayrath and Mr. Reeves
Of the law firm of Reeves q kirkpatrick,
figured up from Mayrath's books the
average of bis wheat crops for some ten
years back. Mr.. Reeves In sneaking of
the matter said be did not take down the
figures but that the average for all Of
those years was a little over IA or 10
bushels per acre. II these figures are cor
rect they not only prove that by proper
farming wheat raising here ls a sure
thing, but also that the land has value
far above the present market price. In
this connection 1t may be stated that
George Stauth, taking the last three
years, has raised an average crop Of
wheat of 20 bushels.

Plenty Of Rainfall All Over the
County.
BIG WHEAT CROP A AREPEATER
General Opinion Is that Next
Year Will Be Like This.
People Still Sowing.
And the next day 1t rained.

And the next day 1t ralned.
4 From Thursday night to Monday the
rainfall was about An inch and half &C.
cording to the government record at
Dodge City. In some parts OF Ford
county it was two inches, 1t was Slow
drizzlng rain and every drop sank into
the ground Half an inch followed on
Tuesday.
Some Of the wheat growers were be-
coming discouraged on account OF Inc
scarcity uf moisture, but now they are
confident aud happy again. The acreage
sown this year will probably be a third
more than last Judging from the express
sions from different farmers in Ford
county.
The early sowing Is now up and the
rain of the past week will give 1t good
start. ..
There are hundreds of acres sown that
had not sprouted before the rain just
over, and it will be given a g9od START
now 80 that it will nearly A|up with
the earlier sowing. Many who had not
intended to put out big crop have
started their drills since the rain.
Itis believed by many that the bumper
wheat crop of this year will repeat itself
next year. Even the weather propnets
are risking their regulations on a lSO4
wheat crop.
Hicks, the St. Louis weather man. be-
lieyes that 1904 will be q poor year for
corn. lie advises people to sow wheal
and crops that will mature early. Inc
present year, which has certainly been
the banner wheat year in Ford county is
in the record of dry years. The weather
bureau books show big deficiency In
rain fall. Still this is the year OF years
when Ford county is strictly In IT. The
wheat average in this county Is close to
the highest in Kansas, and far above the
counties east Of here.
If next year Is a poor corn year. anu
tbe eastern part Of the state is short on
crops, Ford county has only to show up
with good wheat crop to be among the
favorte localities for land Investments
With good wheat crop next year-JusE

Invitation to Cuba.

, Senator Newlands. author of the res
olution annexing Hawaii. has intro
duced a joint resolution inviting Cuba
to become state of the United States
upon terms of equality with the states
OF the Union.
3 1t provides that Porto Rico shall be-
come county or province of Cuba;
that Ill present officers of Cuba shall
retain their positions until their terms
expire; that the $35 900 bonds OF
Cuba shall become the bonds of the
state Of Cuba with interest reduced to
three per cent, and two per cent, to
be applied to a sinking fund; that the
present rural guard of Cuba shall be
Incorporated into the army of the Unit
ed States; that the money in the Cuban
treasury shall become the money OF the
state Of Cuba.
The resolution closes with the fol-
lowing declaration:
THE foregoing resolution is inspired
not by desire to annex fOrcibly or to
assert sovereignty over the island OF
Cuba or to exercise any form OF COM
pulsion; but solely by a regard for the
interests OF the two countries and
conviction that the interests OF the
states composing the Federal Union
and Cuba are identified and that they
can be administered by union under one
form of government in which all shall
be represented on equal terms; and to
be governed by equal and undiscrlmln-
ating laws ensuring freedom OF trade
and equality of rights and privileges.

EUGENE F. WARE
WILL RESIGN

Washington. Nov. 25.-Eugene F.
Ware. commissioner of pensions. will
retire from that Office about the mid
die of November Of next year and will
return Immediately to the practice of
law in Kansas His contemplated ac-
tion is generally understood among
Kansas politicians and has been the
subject of several interviews with the
President. which have been kept Sc
cret.
The decision to resign and return to
private life is the result Of his long
felt dissatisfaction with the nature Of
the duties Of his Office. feeling that
has grown steadily since the early days
of his administration OF that bureau.
Mr.. Wares acceptance Of the Presi-
dents tender Of the Office shortly after
the appointment of his predecessor. H.
Clay Evans, as consul general to Great
Britain, last spring, created much sur
prise. He had law practice that was
one Of the largest in Kansas, bring
ing him considerably more income than
his salary as commissioner Of pensions.
He had not been in Office long before
he began to feel the effect OF the large
amount of routine work that devolves
upon the head Of the Office. and as time
wore on the demands this work made
on his time and strength. and the con-
stant friction incidental to the office,
under every administration led to his
distaste for the Office. Mr.. Ware has
insisted on the expedition OF the work
of his bureau and improvement OF the
standard of service performed and it is
probable that the work of the office
will be brought up to date by the first
OF July, the beginning Of the next fiscal
year.

Word was received in this city to-day
of the approval of the title to the site
of the proposed federal building in
Colorado Springs by the supervising ar
chitect in Washington, who has or
dered plans drawn for the building,
The site, $50 feet square, on the south
east corner of Pixies Peak and Nevada
avenues, was purchased from the w. S.
Stratton estate for $4,000, the late
millionaire having set aside this plot
for the federal building at exactly one
half its market value. Because OF its
proximity to the center of business, the
site is the best in the city
The building. which will be COM
menced next spring. will be two sto-
ries in height and of classic architec-
ture. The ground floor will be devoted
to postoffice purposes. with the upper
story reserved for federal offices, in
