FELLOWS GETS 1T.
Topeka Man to Start New $780,
900 Elevator.
VIII Be Built by Santa Fe at
Argentine.
READY FOR THIS YEAR.
VIII Be Completed in Time for
Wheat Crop.
Capacity to Be Million and a
Half Bushels.
READY FOR THIS YEAR.

The contract for the construction of
the sub-structure for the 100000 eleva-
tor which the Santa Fe railroad COM
pany will build at Argentine, just out
side of Kansas City, has been let to
Chas. Fellows of Topeka, who has done
much successful building for the Santa
Fe. Work viii begin at once. There
were four other bidders for the contract,
two from Chicago. one from Omaha and
one from Kansas City.
The excavating for the foundations
for the four buildings which will COM
prise the group to be erected will be
carried out by blasting with dynamite
The earth is frozen solid for a depth
of three and one-half feet beneath the
surface and it would be impossible to
do the exeavating with a grading out
fit while the ground is frozen as it is.
To overcome this difficulty trenches
will be blasted out and the trenches will
be filled with old ties and logs which
have. first been soaked in oil. Fire will
be set to the soaked ties and by this
means the ground will be thawed out
sufficiently to permit excavation.
This is somewhat of an innovation in
the building line The needs are inn
perative, though, and no expense or un-
dertaking is too big to stop the Santa
te officials in their efforts to complete
the construction of the elevator in time
to take care of this years crop.
The elevator will have a CAPACITY to
take care of 1900, 900 bushels of grain
There viii be four buildings in the
group which will be erected at a cost of
$400. 900.
Santa Fe engineers went to Kansas
City Saturday to prepare for the blast
ing of the trenches to be used in begin
ming the excavation for the foundations.
The dynamite charges will be placed
in the holes drilled in the ground today.
and the blasting will be done either to-
day or Tuesday.
The work of construction will be
pushed as rapidly as possible from this
time on. The Santa Fe has completed
it's new Argentine switch yards, and
when the elevator is completed, the
Santa Fe will be in better shape than
any other railroad entering Kansas City
to handle either grain or live stock.
Chas. Fellows will go to La Junta,
Colorado, tonight to load his construc-
ton material which was used in build
ing the Santa F'e shops at that point.
This material viii be brought east as
quickly as possible, and work will soon
be in full swing.
One hundred and fifty tons of small
steel bars will be used in the construc
ton of the stone and cement foundation
for the purpose of giving strength and
to the foundation for the build
ings-
As soon as the weather moderates and
continues to remain mild, an exception
ally large force of men will be given
on the proposed work at
Kansas City. The work will be rushed
through as fast as possible to be con-
sistent with good and substantial re-
suits

which cannot be said of many attrac-
tions which play most of the small
towns of Kansas at dollar prices and
come to Topeka at dollar and a half
prices.
The price of seats for this attraction
at Lawrence is the same as at Topeka,
except that students of the Lawrence
high school and the state university are
given 81. so seats for 81, and 81 seats for
rs cents. This reduction of prices for
students was not made for the Topeka
engagement.
It is said that the Florence Gale pro-
duction of LAS You Like It" is one Of
the best Shakespearian productions on

fact that the attraction is booked into

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 6.-Once more
Speaker Prescott has postponed the
! announcement of the Assembly COM
mittees and the members of the lower
! house will be kept in suspense a few
days longer regarding who will be on
tees.
When the Assembly convened this
morning there was much expectation,
as many of the Assemblymen were
been placed and were anxious for the
announcement that was expected.
Speaker Prescott begged the indul-
gence of the Assembly and said he
would have to postpone the announce
ment of committees until Monday
morning, as he had been unable to
solve the puzzle of fitting more than
one man into any one place.
AS matter Of fact, so it is said. the
postponement was made by order of
Governor Pardee. who sent word to
Speaker Prescott-and "profane word"
too, so it was rumored on the floor
that he was not yet satisfied and
wished the announcements withheld.
There are many conjectures as to
just what dissatisfies the Governor
with the arrangements of committees
UP to date--the supposition that the
Senatorial fight has something to do
with it of course being given promi-
nence. but there are other matters that
are important to the Governor and
these have as much as anything else
to do with his interference.
In the first place the Governor is
very particular about the Ways and
Means Committee. which has so much
to- do with public expenditure and con-
sequently the tax rate 1t is said he
did not specially favor Stanton for
chairman of this committee, but is
willing he should get the place, pro-
viding the other two members are sat
isfied
Then there is the new Committee on
Taxation which is of great importance
to the administration, for by it the
proposed new tax legislation, dear to
the Governors heart, will be consid-
cred. Goodrich was selected as chair
man of this committee in the House,
but 1t was learned that Hahn was to
be chairman of the Senate Committee
on Taxation. Both are from Pasadena,
and it would hardly be proper that any
one city should have the chairmanship
of one committee in both houses Hahn
will be induced to withdraw, as he does
not care about the place, and Goodrich
will be named in the Assembly
Assemblyman Moore of San Joaquin
is said to have special complaint
against the Speaker. He has openly
declared himself for knight, and 1t Is
said by other anti-F1int Assemblymen
that he is having difficulty in getting
such committee recognition as he de-
sires.
There is story out to the effect that
Senator Muenter and Assemblyman
BeardsIee. both Of San Joaquin, have
come to Moore's rescue and declared
that If he is not treated with the con-
sideration he and they think is due
him they will desert the Flint ranks.
None of the San Joaquin legislators
will make statement for publication.
but the story Of their alleged troubles
comes from colleagues
