BEAUTIFYING 100 STATIONS.
Landscape Gardener of Chicago &
Northwestern Has Big Task.

For some time the identifying of
stations and adjoining grounds has en-
gagged the serious attention of railway
officials generally, and the further the
matter has been pursued the greater
has its Importance appeared. The Chi
cago q Northwestern has been among
the leaders in the movement, and has
attained considerable success in the
work In speaking of the experience
of the road in the matter, w. B. KniS-
kern, passenger traffic manager, said:
There are LOO stations on our
line, with a tributary population of
100000, and the Importance of a
policy by means of which the traveller
on alighting from the train finds him
self in the midst of a pleasing land
scape of flowers, Shrubbery and well
kept lawns is one the full value of
which can hardly be computed. This
value is felt not only by the traveller,
but in each community. so fortunate
as to be thus favored. The influence
of an example of this kind is one that
extends into the civic life of the COM
munity very rapidly, and the standard
for breathing places, parks and boule-
wards, and indirectly for improved
streets and public buildings in western
towns, is being rapidly raised to a
plane that is nowhere excelled, large
ly as the result, it may be said, of tn e
railways early example. No feature
ing to the eye than the attractive sta
ton grounds which mark the travel
er's entrance to the town. Careful at
tention and liberal expenditure is
shown in the pleasing architecture of
the station buildings, so that, taken as
a whole there is probably no series
OF suburban stations in the United
States that attain a higher average
from the standpoint of beauty.
''This work of identifying station
grounds and right of way is a part of
the permanent policy of this company,
and, as such, its bearing upon the
with which the road is SO
closely connected geographically and
from the traffic standpoint is, it seems
to me, the most pleasing feature of the
work that can be done by railroad
or other transportation
lines that keep in close touch with the
of the people they
serve"

BADGERS TO TRY ENDS.
Curtis Men Put Little Faith in Line
EBuclxing Game.

Madison, WIS.,, Oct. 5.-Wisconsin's
first football game of the season show
ed that the strong hope of the badger
coaches this season is in end runs
rather than plunges through the line
the supposed weakest places in the
teams in Michigan and Minnesota are
at the ends. 1t Is said that Coaches
Curtis and Cochems have determined
that they have not much chance of
pushing the wolverines down the field
by line-bucking tactics, that these
teams will have probably stronger
centers, guards and tackles than last
year, but that new ends are being de-
veloped at Ann Arbor and Minneapolis
and consequently Wisconsin must have
a great end-circling game to be effec-
tive in the Michigan game a month
hence and in the Minnesota game in
November. The plans of the Wisconsin
coaches turn on these two big games.
The opinion prevails in the coaching
department here that Chicago will have
the strongest ends this year in the west
and will be also particularly strong al
the tackles. 1t is also believed that
the changes in the playing rules, which
Coach Stage assisted to make, will
work to the advantage of the maroon
coach and team, for Stage, it is said,
always has strong tackles and knows
more about offensive work with the
tackles than any other coach in the
west.
The cry at Madison, therefore, is,
Watch our ends run around Michigan
and Minnesota, and If we win these
games a way will be found to take
care of Stages tackle plays at Mar
shall field Thanksgiving day."

FOOTBALL ON TOMORROW.
The X. U.-Hasken Game Should Be an
Excellent Contest

On tomorrow afternoon on McCook
held at Lawrence the Kansas univer-
slty and Haskell Indian football teams
viii engage in their annual contest.
This is always one of the best games
of the season, particularly on account
of the great rivalry between these two
teams.
There is a round trip rate of $1.05
between Topeka and Lawrence this
week on account of the semi-centen-
NAL celebration going on at the latter
place and for this reason large dele
cation from Topeka will probably at
tend the K. U.-Haskell game. The
celebration for that afternoon has
been centered entirely in the football
contest. There is to be a big parade
at p. m. which ends UP at McCook
field. The Santa Fe train leaving To-
peka at 2:10 p. m. arrives at Lawrence
in ample time, as the game is called
at $3.50.
The Haskell and K. U. bands will
attend in a body with their respective
rooters and this will add to the inter-
est and enthusiasm. The Washburn
team expects to go down in full force
and get on to the style of play as the
Topekans meet both teams here later
in the season.
