A recent lani deal in Oregon is we'll
worth noting. The largest stock ranch
in that state and one of the largest
ones in the United States. where
20. 600 head of cattle and 1000 horses
have been handled annually for years.
will now be converted into homes for
10. 600 people. if the plans of the Co.
operative Christian Federation are
carried to success. This French Glenn
ranch in Harvey county comprising
1874. 600 acres, has been sold for 81, 800. :
600. 1t apears that the Mormons were
anxious to get this property. but the
Cooperative Christian Federation
whatever that may be-outbid them.
This immense ranch in eastern Oregon
was developed by the French and his
partner, who began in a small way as
early as 1872. French was killed in
one of the range wars with small
stockmen and the death Of Glenn
followed few years later from
natural causes. Their heirs organized
a California corporation that has since
operated the property This will he
| the first of the big ranches of the
northwest to be cut up for homes for
settlers. 1t is located about four thou
sand feet above the level of the sea
and the climate is very similar to
that of like attitudes in Colorado and
Nevada. with superabundance OF
Sunshine. In winter there is some
extreme cold. but usually not prolong-
ed and without the severity of the
billiards. which sweep the great plains.
Railroad connections are $50 miles
away from. the ranch. and its new
owners hope that line will be carried
to them. The property is sixty miles
long by twenty-five miles wide. aud
already has more than 500 miles OF
fencing, fhe price offered for the
land is $40 an acre, with $500. 600 for
personal proerty. and this is called a
low valuation.

% It is then obvious to my mind that the
hospital association is a magnificent
financial investment. The expenses OF the
railways that have no such system in
this particular are certainly enormous
and the care is certainly not commensu-
rate in many instances with the money
expended

MAY CLEAR SULLY.
Pending Developments May Relieve
Him From Debt.

New York, April 21.-MacGrane
Cox. referee in bankruptcy in the
Daniel J. Su1Iy case, has sent to Judge
Holt of the United States district
court an opinion, which if approved
by the court will reopen the Sully
case and bring up for adjudication
several important and almost sensa-
tional points. The opinion is given
upon the application of two sets of
petitions, one from Edwin Hawley
and Frank H. Ray, who have been
sued by Sully trustees in bankruptcy
for certain sums alleged to have been
lost through participation with Sully
in alleged cotton pools and to others
from creditors who are not members
of the cotton exchange. Three ques-
tons were brought up: First, wheth-
er 100000 paid on Saturday. March
Is, 1904, was a preference and so il
legal; second, whether the Fridays
prices or Saturdays prices should de-
termine the amount the Sully estate
owes, and, third, whether transac-
lions on the cotton exchange are
gambling transactions. The opinion
of the referee is that the case should
be reopened. If Judge Holt decides
in favor of this, it will reopen the
whole question and if the claims are
decided it will make an immense diff
ference in the amounts due.
If it is proved that cotton exchange
transactions are gambling transactions
Sully is solvent and will not owe a.
cent.

TOPEKA ELECTRIC LINE.
Two Million Dollars Available for In
terurban Road From Kansas City.

Kansas City, April 21-Money to finance
the Bonner Springs and Topeka electric
line has been advanced by the Trust COM
pany of America, a New York corpora
ton. The trust company has advanced 2
million dollars for the construction of the
road. This money is to be secured by a
mortgage on the property of the electric
line The mortgage was filed in Kansas
City, Kan, yesterday. It is payable in
40 years and is to draw interest at per
cent
The Kansas City and Bonner Springs
electric line was granted a charter and
franchise about a year ago. John Nc
Daniel of Bonner Springs, Kan, is the
president of the road. This line is to run
from Bonner Springs to Bethel, where it
is to connect with the Kansas City-Leav-
enworth electric line. From Bethel the
cars are to enter Kansas City ove~ the
tracks of the Kansas City-Leavenworth
and Metropolitan Street Railway systems.
The right of way for the Sne has been
graded from Bonner Springs to Bethel
and the work of finishing the rOaEd 3 to
be pushed. A, power station will probably
be built at Bonner Springs.
The plan is to extend the line west
from Bonner Springs to Topeka, but at
present the terminus will be a mile west
of Bonner Springs, where it is intended to
build a park.

Author Says Honesty Is Beacon Light

A recent number of the Interna-

the following mention of a paper read
by ]. D. NJ Hamilton, of the claim de-
paftment of the Santa. Fe, before the
members assembled at the National
Railway Surgeons convention at the
Academy of Science in New York city:
The paper presented under the
above title by J. D. NJ. Hamilton, Esq,
of Topeka, Kan, claims attorney,
Santa Fe system, is one of the strong
est papers ever written upon this par
ucular subject It is so full of prac-
teal and valuable points that in corn
menting editorially upon it one finds
il difficult to do justice to the au-
thOr's masterful effort. For the paper
is indeed a masterpiece and we feel in
clined to ask the reader to take time
and 60 over it with care, noting the
value and Importance of truth and
honesty. Honesty is the beacon light
to success How true are his words.
To you gentlemen we look for succor
and aid, and without your examina
ton, counsel and advice we are
likened to. a helpless ship in mid
ocean flying the flag of distress
Hamilton strongly urges legislation
in order to secure physical examina-
ton of railway employees and further
says there is too much forgetting ard
overlooking orders. Let the brain he
as we'll cultured as the muscles Let
a law of protection be enacted and
enforced. When this is done the an

HEARD AT THE THROOP.
Travelling Men Speak in High Praise
of Topeka.

A group of travelling men at the
Throop last night agreed that Topeka
was one of the most -to-date cities in
the country. One of them said, Il can
generally tell whether town is up
with the times by noticing the brand Of
cigars that is the most popular. If the
leading store sells more Wadsworth
Bros Chicos than they do of any other
cigar I put down the residents of that
city as progressive and up-to-date and

case told me that he was selling twice
as many ChiGes as of any other two
kinds. This shows that Topeka smokers
want good Havana filled cigar that
burns freely is mild and pleasant and
makes an enjoyable smoke.
Wadsworth Bros Chico is the only
cigar 7 know of costing less than TWEEN
ty cents that fills the bill Just see
how fragrant it is, he said as he puff
ed a lot of smoke over the group.
Chicos sell for but five cents. even
though, as our friend the travelling man
said, sit is the favorite with those who
want the best cigar they can get for
their money"

LABOR GETS LARGE PORTION.
Over ~ Per Cent. of Gross Receipts of
Railways Paid in Wages Last Year.

Over ~ Per Cent. of Gross Receipts of
Railways Paid in Wages Last Year.
While AZ per cent. of the gross re-
ceipts of all American railways went
directly to labor in wages last year,
as shown by the reports of the bureau
of labor, and less than % per cent. to
capital Gas paid in interest on mort
gage bonds and in dividends), nearly
10 per cent. of the gross receipts of
British railroads went to capital and
only % per cent. to labor. In no other
country in the world does labor alb
sorb so much and capital so little of
the gross earnings of railways as in
the United States.
The English statistician, Mr.. Priest
ly, says: THE present prosperity of
the United States of America is in no
small extent due to. the low rates
charged for transportation. American
railway men have managed to do what
those in no other country in the world
have done, and that is to carry their
goods traffic probably at extraordi-
narily low rates. notwithstanding the
fact that they pay more for their labor
than any other country"

Mr.. Byers agreed when he accepted
his new Office to save the company
over q million dollars the first year.
His reduction of expenses was first
manifest when he placed the bridge

Another of the innovations in the
saving line is the fact that the super
intendents of. the various divisions are
compelled to give up their private
cars and ride as private citizens when
they make their trips of inspection.
