a company To drill for oil Mr.. Craner
owns a quarter section of land lying with
in one mile of Moline which is in the
heart of the oil district on every quar-
ter section surrounding his land there are
numerous wells, all producing very profit
able streams
Mr. Craners theory is that il Wichita

pipe it from the neart fields and that his
well can be connected with a piping sys-
TEN leading into this city He reasons
that the only feasible plan would be 10

right-of-way TO Winfield. thence up the
Santa Fe to Wichita.
Should this be done Mr. Craner's com
pany would. of course. have an oppor-

BIRD HEARD FROM.
Talk of His Building Canning Factory
AGAIN Revived.

Secretary Smith, of the Chamber of
Commerce. is in receipt of a letter from
A Bird. of St Joseph Mo. stating that
he viii establish large canning factory
in Wichita, providing the farmers will
devote a portion of their farms to the
raising of sufficient sweet corn TO make
the enterprise pay.
Mar. Bird says it will require at least
one thousand acres of sweet corn to keep
the machinery of an extensive plant
slich rs he contemplates erecting. NOV
Rng the year round. Therefore he asks
1.-THE city of Wichita To SO among the
| farmers of Sedgwick and adjoining coun-
ties and have them pledge themselves to
plant at least thousand acres of sweet
corn.
Mr.. Bird has wide reputation as a can
ning factory man. having a large estab-
hshment at st. Joseph which il is said.
IS one of the best equipped factories in
the west
He is anxious to locate similar fac
tory in Wichita and. if he finds that
the farmers. upon whose shoulders the
whole thing as to the producing Of the
canning material rests take deep in
q
with his plans and put the factory up

Sweet corn has not been extensively
raised in this section of Kansas. but the
soil is fertile and well adapted to the
crop. There Is no doubt bat that it would
be a profitable crop. even more profit

facts are to be considered by the farmer

community.
In talking about the factory, Mr. Smith
said: Il believe that Mr.. Bird will come
here and put up his canning business,
providing he gets an assurance that he
will be able to secure the goods to can.
Every one knows he could not carry
on this business and not get anything to
can. Then the proposition stands this
way: VIII the farmers of this section
raise sweet corn? If so, the factory
is a go.
THE benefit and value that this estab-
listment would be to Wichita and Sedg-
wick county every one may readily see.
1t would be of inestimable good TO the
standing in the manufacturing circles
OF Wichita. We. as far as we can, are

PROPOSED ROUTE
MAY BE CHANGED
Interurban Promoters Held a
Meeting Yesterday.
ROAD TO RUN SOUTHEAST
Original Plans Were to Build
Due South.
ROAD TO RUN SOUTHEAST

At meeting of the directors of the Ar
kansas Valley Interurban Railway COM
pany held yesterday, the chief topic of
discussion was a plan to change the pro-
posed route of that road.
The first plans called for line to be
built almost due south with the terminus
a Arkansas City. If the new plans are
adopted Arkansas City will still be the
objective point, but the road will be built
southeast from Wichita on the east side
of the Arkansas river, instead of on the
west side said President Boyle last
evening
The occasion for the change in the route
is said TO be on account of the residents
of Salem township not voting bonds for
the building of the line. Since that time
the promoters are said to have received
some very good propositions from the
residents southeast of here who are very
anxious that the line be built in their vi
entity
Since the election in Salem township,
which resulted in a vote of so for and 66
against the issuance of s12 900 worth of
bonds, petition for another election has
been circulated. Enough names have
been secured. it is understood, TO war
RAM the holding of another election. but
the residents of that township have not
as yet made any formal report to the
directors of the railroad, if it is true
that they have any such intention.
The proposed new route would take
the line through Derby Mulvane and
more good towns than if built in a south
erly direction from here. A regular
monthly meeting of the directors will
De heio next Tuesday. at which time
oehhite action regarding the changing of
the route will be taken.

RAILROADS REDUCE
RATES ON WHEAT
Santa Fe Announces Cut of
Five Cents.
WAR SEEMS To BE ON
S, w. Stevens Thinks Wichita
Is Benefited.

Tn order to meet the cut in freight
rates on wheat made by the Missouri
Pacific and Rock Island railroads, as an
noAlaced yesterday, the Santa Fe last
evening sent out dispatches that it has
reduced the rate cents per hundred
pounds on wheat from all interior Kan
sas points to Galveston by direct route.
The cut as announced by the Rock Island
and Santa Fe is a reduction of cents
for the same weight to gulf points via
Kansas City.
S. w. Stevens OF the Stevens-ScOtt Ele-
vator company, said last night The
advantage of the reduction in rates can
readily be seen. The price of the prod
uct will be advanced and the movement
will be greater. In my opinion it will
be great advantage to Wichita. AL
ready, yesterday, as a result Of the re-
duction in freight rates. we bid cents
higher for wheat 70 be delivered in Feb
ruary As to whether these new rates
will ne permanent L cannot. of course,
say
Kansas seems to be just at present the
storm center for d freight rate war in
grain and within the next fortnight it
is likely that the state will be pretty
thoroughly drained of its twenty millions
of bushels of wheat which are supposed
TO be still held by the farmers.
1t is expected that the others roads
will meet the rates Of the Santa Fe,
Rock Island and Missouri Pacific which
