The people 70 Topeka are very anxi-
Gus for the road and have assured me
Of the 100000 We have not yet heard
from Council Grove officially. but have
been advised by influential citizens that
they are willing to put UP the $4,000 on
the terms that my people have submit
ted Now all we ask of you people here
is the right of way from Topeka to
Council Grove. It may be necessary for
US to condemn and buy the right of
away in certain localities. Insuch cases
We will expect the people who will be
benefited the most by this road, to OBJ
tain the right of way for US. We are
asking for no money in advance, and
we are not asking for a title to the
right Of way until we have it all assur-
ed. The bonus we receive will be spent
in the respective cities for facilities. We
will build a first-class interurban pas
senger and freight line"
The matter was then thoroughly dis
caused by those present and at Mr.
Taylor's suggestion a permanent organ
iZation was completed, consisting of
representatives from Mission creek
township Wabaunsee county, and
Dover township, Shawnee county. A
careful canvass was made and it was
learned that if the railroad was now
in operation, 20 900 tons of freight would
be ready for shipment this year. Some
of the largest and most influential cat
tie ratsers live in this colanty and the
stateemnt was made that if they had a
railroad so they could ship their cattle
out when they chose, they could handle
considerable more.
An executive board was then elected.
consisting Of Capt. H NJ Philips, T. P.

elected the following officers: Capt. H.

Upton WANTS CONCESSION.
would Build Two Yachts and Race the
Better Against Defender

New York, Aug. A cable dispatch
to the Times from London says:
Sir Thomas Upton, whose anxiety to
challenge again for the Americas cup
is well known, has made the suggestion
to number of prominent yachtmen on
this side of the Atlantic that, in case he
sees his way clear to a formal challenge,
he would like to secure a concession
from the New York Yacht club allowing
him to build two yachts, sail one against
the other and send the better boat
against the Defender.
He firmly believes he Is justified in
seeking this concession.
The defending side. as is we'll known,
has the privilege of trying out it's boats
but the challenger must, under the deed
of gift, name the boat with the chal-
lenge. Yachtmen here who have dis
cussed this matter informally seem to
agree with Sir Thomas that his desire
to obtain such a concession is perfectly
fair.
While no formal statement has been
made by Sir Thomas Upton that he has
any legitimate hopes of success in this
direction, the inference is that he has
sounded certain of the New York Yacht
club officials and is not without reason
able expectations that the question may
be raised at the proper time with salts
faction to both sides.

means that the right OF way is assured
from Topeka to Eskridge. The executive
committee asked for little time in or
der to get all the right of way signed
and subscribed and will make a report
to Mr.. Taylor in the near future.
Mr.. Taylor says: Il was very much
surprised when I rode over this coun-
try IN an automobile, from Topeka to
Dover. Mission Creek valley is the most
beautiful farming country I ever saw.
The crops are excellent and I am at a
loss to know why a railroad has not
been built long ago, as it surely will pay
from the beginning. I have not yet
heard from the Auburn people, but they
are working fully as hard as the people
at Dover to have the road go by the
way of Dover. via Eskridge or Harvey
Vile. AS soon as get their report, the
matter will then be taken up In Eskridge
and Council Grove. In fact 1 now have
a very good man working on this pro-
position in Council Grove, and I think
within ten days we will have the entire
right of way pledged SO our company
can go right ahead and build the line

s MAKES MUCH TROUBLE.
Gas Companx's Excavations Do Much
Damage on Kansas Avenue.

The rain storm Of the past forty
eight hours has played havoc with the
repair, or rather the work of destruc-
ton, which is being done by the gas
company to their mains on Kansas
avenue. and will cause an immense
amount of labor which would not
have been necessary had dry weather
prevailed while the work was in
progress. The first rain which fell
Friday filed the open trench, which
is about block in length, between
six and seven inches, and this was par
TALLY emptied before the second in
stallment of the storm struck the city.
With the second section of the storm
the trenches began to fall in, and for
a greater portion of the length of the
ditch the gas main is covered almost
as deep as 1t was before excavation
work commenced. The soft rain
soaked soil has caved in at several
points some distance back under the
pavement and grave fears are enter
tanned that this will result in delaying
the work on the Kansas avenue pave
ment and that it may be the cause
of the pavement sin king after It has
been laid and practically running it.
The gas company insists that all of
the dirt which has fallen into the
trenches and sloppy, muddy con-
generation 1t Is. will be removed and
that the trenches will be filled with
solid dirt packedin such a manner that
there will be no danger of the new
pavement being injured in the least.
The gas company should have been
forced to put its mains down in the
alleys instead of up Kansas avenue.
