Mr.. Brassfeld in speaking of the
town when they told me of all that
they were doing [ didn't believe it,
but when L saw it I had to. They
have hundreds of acres of beets grow

tory going up there is to be in readi-

You can hardly imagine what a big
thing that factory is It is 800 feet
long and is to use 100000 bricks in
its construction It takes a consider
able length of time even to drive
around it. A part of it is already
built three stories in height, but I
think on the whole that it is to be a
fat building. 1t stretches along the
railroad tracks there for rods, for
easy receiving and shipping.
I never saw western Kansas in
such good condition. For a strip along
past McCracken and north and south
it looks pretty hard; but beyond that
everything is in splendid condition,
and everyone there is enthusiastic. At

standing in the streets in that sandy

STILL ANOTHER MOTOR CAR.
Chicago & Alton Has Built One With
Gasoline Electric Power

Before the end of the week the Chi
cago & Alton road will turn out OIL us
shops at Bloomington, ILL., trial
motor car which is designed to be put
in service in lieu of some of the sub
urban trains along the line The car
will be tested inm ediately, and If It
proves to be what it is claimed to be,
others will be built as rapidly as pos
sible, and within a short time several
of them will be in use.
The new car is one of the gasoline
electric designs with storage battery
attachment, in some ways similar TO
the Strang car. which was In topeka
this spring and which made trip
across the continent from New York.
1t is provided with an engine and
dynamo which gives 1875 horse power
without the use of the storage battery,
while with this auxiliary maximum
force of $50 horse power can be OBJ
tanned
It has been so arranged as to pro-
vide a seating capacity of f1fty-six pas
sengers, with a compartment for bag
gage. Its designers declare there viii
be no difficulty experienced in main
tanning a speed of fifty miles an hour,
while the maximum speed can be made
very quickly after stop
For a long time the Alton has been
experimenting with motor cars to sup
plant some of the suburban trains and
to enable the road to compete with
parallel its tracks. One of the Union
Pacific motor cars. which use direct
appliance of the power of the engine,
was tried along the line. as was the
Strang car. AFTER these experiments
the company decided to build its own
cars, and to employ a combination of
gas and electricity.
The present car is provided with a
high speed gasoline engine of the au-
tomobile type It is so mounted as to
do away with the vibration, and it is
declared that passengers will be un-
able either to feel or hear the motion
of the engine.
The Alton officials are enthusiastic
over the new car. and believe that II
will contain but few defects that must
be remedied in subsequent cars. They
think they have solved the difficulties
in the way of the motor car. and that
1t viii be but a short time until all OF
the suburban traffic of the road will be
handled with the motor cars.

WILL SINK A DEEP WE'LL.
Santa Fe to Spend $500 in Quest
for Water at Willard

willard, N M. May 1O.-An at
tempt is to be made by the Santa Fe
to get water through the sinking Of
an artesian well here as soon as the
machinery can be brought to the
ground. Chief Engineer Key. who has
immediate charge of the work on the
Belen cutoff, has stated that the com
pany has set aside s25, 600 for the pur-
pose Of sinking a deep well here in
the hope of obtaining artesian water.
Machinery will be brought in and put
to work at once. He further ex-
planned that the water would be piped
to Encino, the grade being sufficient
that gravity is all the power necessary
to carry 1t. At Encino it will be
raised into an elevated tank by pump
ing, when gravity will again carry the
water on through pipes to Epris or
Vaughan.
This is a great undertaking, but
when the Santa Fe undertakes any
thing it is not done by halves. 1t is
the general opinion that artesian
water Will be struck at a reasona BILE
depth. but if not. there is no doubt
that plenty of water can be had. The
test will be watched with interest
throughout the valley.
