POLL IN FIRST DISTRICT.
Now Be Prepared for Any Kind of
Reports.

|, The Leavenworth Times says that
the. Curtis managers have been taking
a poll in Atchison county, and that in
Huron precinct, where the poll was
taken by the local manager for Con-
gresham Curtis, there was total of
206 Republican and fusion voters
found. The Times says only IA indi-
Gated a preference for Curtis, while
1872 are for Major Harvey. Huron
precinct is ordinarily Republican by
about so majority.
Those figures sound somewhat radi-
cal, but a report came from Jackson
county some time ago that ~ Repub-
hcans in a single precinct had agreed
not only to vote against Curtis but
also against most of the Republican
state ticket on account of the state
convention at Wichita throwing out
the regular Republican delegation
from Jackson county and seating the
Walker delegation. If these stories
can be relied upon they mean trouble
for Mr.. Curtis.

REBUILD TRINIDAD DEPOT.
Santa Fe Will Push the Construction
at Once.

The Santa Fe railroad company will
rebuild the depot at Trinidad, Colo,
at once to replace the structure which
was washed away by the Purgatoire
river food.
The depot was erected at 1928 at
a cost of $4,000 1t was one of the
handsomest depots of it's size along
the line, and it is believed that the
former plans Will be used for the new
building, although this point has not
been definitely settled.
The plan of the depot which was
destroyed is very satisfactory and with
Slight changes which experience has
developed would help the structure,
will prove all right for the new build
ing.
The matter is in the hands of the
chief engineer of the company and
bids will probably be asked for on
the proposed construction within a
week or two. The depot will be re-
built as soon as possible.

NO ADVANCE IN COAL.
Anticipated Boost of Prices Does Not
Come.

The. expected advance of IS cents
n ton on COAL which was scheduled to
take place today, October 1, failed to
come up to time, and coal can be
prevailed yesterday. It is thought that
the advance will now be delayed for
some days, possibly until October 10.
1t depends good deal on the weather.
P. ]. Monaghan said today: There
has been no advance in the price OF
coal, though one may be made within
a few days. We can't tell until we
hear from the mines. Cold weather
would probably bring about an ad-
vance, by increasing the demand"
The coal dealers-or some of them
say that the reason coal is not adj
vancing as rapidly as it did last year
is because of lighter traffic on the
railroads. One well known Topeka
coal man, who refused to allow his
name to be used, said:
southern. Kansas coal is not being
confscated by the railroads as it was
at this time last year. The railroads
are not needing as much fuel as they
did, and are letting our orders come
through Last year, when we ordered
thirty carloads of coal. we expected to
get about fifteen of them. The rail-
, roads took the rest. This year we are
getting pretty nearly all the coal we
order. That means that southern
Kansas coal is taking the place of
some of the Usage county coal used
last year, and the result is that Usage
coal for domestic purposes here is
more plentiful on the local markets.
1.-THE contract for supplying the
schools here with domestic coal is %
cents lower this year than last, and
that indicates pretty clearly that the
winter prices will probably be about
25 cents ton less than they were last
year.
Gust at the present time the price
on coal is from 25 to SO cents a ton
less than it was at this time last year,
and the october 1 advance has not
yet been announced"
The following is the present sched-
ule of prices for some of the leading
varieties of coal:
Leavenworth 50. 90
Burlingame 400
Usage ..... 4.25
Weir lump ....... 4.50
pennsylvania -11-OO
One other prominent coal man said
that it was a mistake to think that
the railroads would use less coal this
year than last. He said:
1.-The fact is, the railroads are re-
sponsible for the present high prices
of coal They are using so much
more fuel than they did in the past
that the mines can not keep pace with
their demands They have not been
confscating much coal SO far, it is
true, but they are likely to do so. The
that they have every available bit of
rolling stock in use, moving the corn
and live stock, and the rush is likely
to continue throughout the winter.
The Santa Fe is getting hold of all the
coal it can. All that it needs is a lit
tie cold weather to make the coal
prices go up with a jump. People who
expect to get coal at the present fig
ures will have to get in their orders
without much delay"
