he was never known to smoke OF
drink, it is said, and his only recrea-

The Western Freight association to
this day is known as ''the great re-
duction works." name Mr.. Morton
gave it when it agreed on tariff
schedule that did not meet his views.
"A Hog For Work"
AS q worker Morton does not believe
in letting anything drift along for
week If 1t can be settled in day. He
believes in short cuts instead of round
about methods Facts and figures are
vastly superior to him than theories
and fancies. An expression that Nor
toms friends use when speaking OF
him is that he is "a hog for work.

in bank, and two years later he
struck out for New York, where he
formed a partnership with stock
broker and prospered SO well that in
1874 he bought seat on the Stock Ex
change Thus he became associated
with men like Jay Gould, William r.
Travers, Samuel j. Tilden and others
of large influence.

has fine farm, at which he spends as
much Of his time as possible. His
chief diversion is the raising Of Hol
stein CATTLE and he also takes mucl
pride IN his kennels.

Bad for the PeacEes.

F. L. Kenoyer dropped into the Re
porter office the other day and told the
results of his examination of peach
trees. He says these fruit trees can't
stand weather with the Thermometer
down to 231s below zero as it was about
a week ago. It seems that while the
bark of the trees may look healthy, the
inner growth or growth next to the
bark is turned black which means that
the tree will yield very little in the next
two or three years and then eventually
die. This means that Kansas will be
short on peaches for several years to

There IS no doubt but what it is a
question Of only a few months until the
residue of the heavy oil win be in gen
era1 use In road building ali over the
central west. The Uncle sam company
will therefore secure representative men
in every township in the four states
mentioned. first as the managers of the
company desire this company to be
composed of the taxpayers of these
states and to have the backing and
good will Of the general public, we want
every share of the Uncle Sam stock ia
ken by western men and held by the
men Of these states, we want this com
pauy to consider the rights of the con-
sumner as well as the producer and will
work to that end. We would rather
have one hundred men put in one hum
dred dollars each than to secure one
stakeholder with same amount Of
money; we want men, we want stock
holders who viii be OF influence at home
and when banded together in a common
cause viii be a power in the legislative
halls OF either the state or the nation.
So If you read over this ad don't throw
down this paper thinking you viii have
all summer to join the company, but
get in now while you can join the com
pany at a price that guarantees to you
good returns and before someone else
gets what you want The stock will not
remain long at cents per share. This
company viii soon have the moral sup
port OF the central west and the man
who gets the ground floor stock is
bound to make good money and stands
a good show for future consideration in
assisting the company to market the
oil in your locality.

itself in the world. There are great
opportunities in these oil fields. The
laws that are already passed by the
Kansas legislature afford protection to
just such a company Neighboring

time this company secures enough
stockholders so they will cause their
neighbor to awaken to their real in

achieved in the oil industry and one
