Under date Of February 3 Observer
Emigh says: January was an ideal
month for stock, not a severe storm nor
cold spell occurring. Grass is generally
in excellent condition in Ford and other
western counties, except on the sand hills
and in the bottoms. Wheat il in good
condition to begin growing as soon as the
ground thaws. Large crops of all kinds
will be put in next spring. A cold,
northwest wind with snow flnrries was
blowing Tuesday night. There 10 not
enough snow to drive the stock from the
ranges and there is plenty Of feed"
The mean temperature recorded for
January at the Dodge City station was
3O.06, The highest temperature was 70
on the 9th and the loweSt5 on the llth.
The lowest mean recorded In 20 years
was l3 In 1875. The highest mean WIS

harrow and drill could be laid aside; no
more sowing, only the pleasing task Of
harvesting three, four and five crops per
year Of this beautiful plant--thls mort
gage litter. and debt destroyer, and said
1t was the first green field to hail the
coming Of spring and the last to bid
goodbye to the departing summer.
This man who told of the wonders Of
this new forage crop was Capt John Il
Churchill, who was elected president Of
the State Board Of Agriculture at the last
meeting. He was for years spoken Of as
"the alfalfa king" because Of his ear
nestness in preaching the new crop.
Many remember his predictions, that
no farm in Kansas would be complete
without u field Of alfalfa, That there
would be years when corn and wheat
and other crops would fail, but alfalfa
never. This has come true, and much
more, and in giant strides the value and
usefulness Of this wonderful crop las
spread away and far beyond the horizon
of the person who broughtit 1t to the at
tention of the people Of Kansas. Its
friends now are legion, and 1t Is still
spreading all through the middle west,
even ne far east as the New England
coast. There:are many in Kansas and
the surrounding states who owe debt of
gratitude to Captain Churchill, who
brought the light to them in the dark
days following the year 1892, and owe it
also to Secretary Coburn Of the State
Board Of Agriculture, for taking up the
by publications spreading the
story Of alfalfa to the farmers"

Rock island Through Trains
May Come Via Dodge City.
CUTOFF NOW A CERTAINTY.
General Manager Nudge Says
New Road Will Be Built
Soon.

That the Dodge City cutoff will be
built by the Santa Fe there now seems
to be no further doubt. General Mana
ger Nudge has given the report out that
the matter has been settled, and that the
cutoff will not only be built but will be
built at once. Mr.. Mudge's statement,
which be made in Topeka last Saturday
appears to prove the rumor which got out
months ago that the Rock Island and
Santa Fe will use the same track for their
California business He stated that the
Santa Fe would build from Dodge City to
Liberal, and would then run trains over
the Rock Island for some distance, a.
lowing the Rock Island to Use the Santa
Fe track on The west end Of the trip.
A later report is out now which Is Of
additional interest to Dodge City. This
report Is that the Rock Islands Califor-
mia trains will come via Dodge City,
using their present line from BucklIn to
this place, and running to Liberal
oyer the new Santa Fe line. This
would practically put Dodge City on The
main line of the Rock Island, and of
course the building of the Santa Fe cut
Oft will make this permanently the main
line of the Santa Fe.
Some belieye that when these things
are done there will be large shop add.
tions here for the Santa Fe, and there Is
also a rumor that The Rock Island will
help make this shop point.
What ever the arrangements between
the two roads may be the chances are
very favorable for Dodge City being ben.
Gifted BY the changes With the cutoff |
once built there will be small chance for
the Santa Fe ever having a smaller force
here than the present one. The chances
will all favor this being made a point of
more importance.

Says Topeka Is the Headquar-
ters for Newspaper Fakes.
DOES NOT AFFECT CUTOFF
Further Than That It Leaves
The Route To Be Taken
Indefinite.

President Ripley's arrival In Topeka
casts doubt upon the story Of the Santa
Fe and Rock Island traffic alliance. In
an interview be denied that such deal
had been made. After President Ripley
had been in town a short time General
Manager Nudge also denied the
report that the Rock Island and Santa
Fe had entered into a business agreement.
President Ripley stated that the head
quarters had been bothered by many tele-
grams Of inquiry regarding the alleged
deal.
"Topeks Is getting reputation as
headquarters for newspaper fakes,' SAID
President Ripley. "Telegrams have been
received from all parts of the country
both in the Chicago and St. Louis offices
wanting confirmation OF the report. We
can only reply to them that the reports
are absolutely false"
From this statement some believe that
the alleged deal was entirely a fake, while
others believe that 1t has been made but
that for reasons of bis own President
Ripley koss not want the matter made
public.
From the fact Of a new survey being
made leaving Liberal to the southeast, It
is believed by some that any deal which
may be contemplated With the Rock ID
land hs, not been completed, and that the
Santa Fe Is also working upon
other plans, which will be ready to put
through in case the first plan fails.
1t is now reported from New York
that deal is pending between the Rock
Island and the Union Pacific aud the
Southern Pacific which would give the
Rock Island two entries into California
and which combination would give the
roads interested a trackage Of nearly 25,-
900 miles.
The new rumorp do not by any means
discourage the belief that the cutoff Is to
be built from Dodge City southwest, and
President Ripley has not denied that,
although 1t does leave the point to which
II will run indefinite. II the Santa Fe is
planning to build Its own short line clear
through, so much the better.

Judge Womack was mad chairman OF

reach the end OF their labors and so over
the references.
Yesterday the work was sub divided.
For the present Prof. Gulley viii attend

fourth chapters.
The commissioners will meet again at
