S. P. Judson left Sunday for
Tacoma where he will spend a
few days with his parents.
Wendell Phillips returned Mon
day from Sites where he has
been assisting in the hog drive.
In reply to what was intended
for brilliant piece of sarcasm,
read in the Cottonwood Chroni-
Gle, regarding the second ball
team of Ferdinand, we wish to
make a few remarks. Twice
the Western Star boys have play
ed with Ferdinand, both times
being fairly wiped off the face
of the earth. There is no glory
in such easy victories. Therefore
we sent our second team to
Keuterville last Sunday, think
ing to give the Western Star
boys a change, and we are will
ing to bet our last dollar that
had the game been played, our
baby boys" would have proved
that young as they are, they are
of the stuff players are made of.
Come over KeutervilIe, if you
are not afraid, and practice with
our baby boys to give you point
ers and maybe after awhile you
will get so you can hit a ball, per-
haps catch one, though that is
almost too much to hope for. 1t
is alright to sneer at us, but
give our baby boys a chance and
if they don't make good--well
the drinks are on us. So come
over Keuterville, but don't bring
any of the Cottonwood boys with
you, we mean just the Western
Star boys, we are ready to bet
$50 fifty dollars) that the So
called baby boys can wipe up the
ground with you, but say! you
don't need to bring any cookies
with you, we're not cheap like
some people; when a crowd COM
es to Ferdinand we see that they
get fed, even though they get
in at 3p m. Of course we know
how you feel about coming over
here, just ashamed to be seen
after the ickings you've taken,
but just let us have one more
''go" at you and we'll be salts
fed. (The CHRONICLE does not
believe in abetting strife between
rival towns so will not give space
to any further utterance of the
above nature from either side.
We are always glad to receive
news items but do not consider
such chickering's as news and will
not publish more of them. If
you have news, though, send it
in and it will always find space.

N y Run Motor Cars Between
Topeka and Kansas City.
This Is the Talk of Union
Pacific Officials.
TO USE DOUBLE TRACK
MOtOrin Service on LeavenWorth
Branch a Success.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Officials of the Union Pacific are con
sidering in a tentative sort of a way the
proposition of putting on number of
gasoline motor cars for service between
Topeka and Kansas City as soon as the
double track is completed between the
two cities, and this VIII be at an early
date.
Recent experiments made with the
new motor cars of the Union Pacific on
the Leavenworth-Law rence branch of
the road have proved successful and
their cheapness of operation and the
speed which may be obtained with them
has reused the Union Pacific officials to
a desire to place them in service for in
terurban traffic between cities of i'm
portance on all parts Of the system.
If the plans of the officials of the com
pany mateTialize and motors placed in
service between here and Kansas City
1t is probable that they viii be run on
a fast schedule, one hour and a half
anyway and possibly faster. And the
fare between the two points will be
materially reduced. Plans have been
under way for long while for the con-
struction of an electric road between
Topeka and Kansas City and some sec
tons of it have been built in various
communities and operated as local lines.
When these lines are connected under
one system, they viii be able to haul
passengers from Topeka to Kansas City
at a much cheaper rate than is charged
by the railroads now and the Union Pa
cific with its motor cars Will be BILE to
meet the cut in a handy fashion.
The new second track has been COM
pleted between Topeka and Lawrence
for number of days, although the ball
last has not been placed for all the dis
tance. The track between Lawrence
and Kansas City, although not yet com
pletely laid is well under way and work
on it will be pushed as the weather per-
mits.
There is being turned out at the I'm
ion Pacific shops at Omaha one of these
gasoline motor cars day and they are
to be sent all over the system for use
on branch lines. They will be sent as
well to the other systems under the con-
troll of Mr. Hartman. All of the cars
being turned out are of the type known
as No. 4, a larger and more powerful
car than the ones first built. No. 4 is
now running regularly on the Lawrence
Leavenworth branch and giving great
satisfaction No. 1 was first tried on
this branch and did not prove a success.
1t was too light to negotiate the grades,
but No. is giving better service than
the old steam hauled trains did.

THEIR PIPE LINE FINISHED.
The Last Link of the Natural Gas
ConpanY Finished.


Kansas city, Kan. Jan. 1.-THE
Kansas Natural Gas company has
completed its pipe line. The last link,
which connects Atchison with the gas
belt, has been laid This section of the
lire VIII be tested with a few days
and then Atchisou viii have gas.
Within two weeks natural gas viii be
flowing through more than 500 miles
of pine line In Kansas and will be sup
plying fuel for nearly thirty Kansas
towns.
More than a year ago the Kansas
Natural Gas company conceived the
idea of piping gas from the fields near
Ottawa TO q market 1t secured a
lease on a large body of land in the
gas belt and since then has sunk more
than 500 wells These wells are pro-
ducing practically unlimited supply
Of the fuel. The gas has been piped
here.
The main supply wells of the com
pany are located around the little sta
ton Petrolia. From these wells small
pfres are run to the two mains which
distribute gas throughout the eastern
part of the state. One of these mains
terminates at St. Joseph The other
terminates here. Two branches leave
the St Joseph line. one running to To-
peka. the other to Atchison. The line
running here has no branches On the
St Joseph line are Garrett. lola, Rich
u1Ond Princeton Ottawa Norwood,
,
Lawrence Reno. Tonganoxie. Leaven-
worth, Kickapoo. Atchison. St. Joseph
and a few minor towns. On the Kan
sas City, Kan, line are LeLoup, Wells
vile, Edgerton, Gardner, Olathe. Eliz-
abeth and Rosedale.
Most Of the line is more than ten
inches in diameter" said an official of
the Kansas Natural Gas company last
night The branch line running from
the main TO Topeka is twelve inches
and the Atchison branch is ten inches.
It is constructed to stand 300-pOund
pressure a portion of the line run
ming into Atchison has already been
tested with about 200 pounds and no
leaks have been found. The full test
will he made at once. You see. if
there it a leak in the line at any place
the gas will blow hole over it. Most
of the pipe is buried five feet in the
ground At no place it is less than
three feet. It is placed this depth or
even deeper in all the rivers and
streams it crosses.

We imagine we have dyspepsia, heart

the same hospital, it $ claimed by the
Barclays. Edith Stanley, an actress,
gave birth to a baby. which became
the incubator baby of the Pike attrac-
ton at the St. Louis exposition. When
Mr.. and Mrs. Barclay visited the fair,
they were attracted by the child, and
made arrangements to adopt 1t at the
close of the exposition. This was done.
Later Mrs. Bleadey became con-

HILL DESTROYING A GRADE.

Tacoma Line.
Tacoma. Wash, Jan 17.=By the di-
rection of President James J. Hill. the
Northern Pacific and the Great North

tie to the unused Union Pacific grade
between Tacoma and Portland but are
actually destroying it. Just before the
Union Pacific went into bankruptcy

and Tacoma. Ninety days more would
have seen the entire roadbed ready for

chased the claims against the grade
for unpaid construction work, acquir-
ing the sanea4 through the Seattle &
Montana railway, which is the western
end of the Great Northern. After Hill
acquired the Northern Pacific this title
was transferred to the North western
Improvement company. a subsidiary
corporation of that road
During the last six months Hill own
ership has been perfected by purchase
of tax titles between Tacoma and the
Columbia river. Judgment against the
grade was taken yesterday on claim
$1,700. 0G0. Right-of-way agents of
the Northern Pacific are now offering
to deed the old grade and its right-of-
way back to the farmers originally
owning it, or to adjacent property
owners, providing they will level it off
thereby destroying it. Hills purpose
is to prevent the use of the grade by
Hartman in building his new line
from Portland to Tacoma.

WESTERN ROADS AND PASSES.
Manager of One Says Time Not Ripe
to Abolish Them.


In a symposium or the anti-pass
movement in the current number of the
Railway Age is the following from the
manager Of one of The southwestern
lines:
The action of the principal eastern
roads in disseminating the issuance of
passes is q move in the right direction.
and similar action should be taken by
all roads in the United States whenever
the time is propitious to do it. In the
west and the southwest the time has
hardly come when the roads can make
such a drastic move; but for several
years the roads in that territory have
been tightening the lines in many direc-
tions; and it is not too much to hope
that before a great while they. too, will
be in a position to take the proper ac-
ton in the matter. The leaven is work
ing.
Nothing is more erroneous than the
general impression that the chief rea-
son why railroads give passes is to get
favOrs; on the contrary. to state it
plainly, the chief reason why railroads
issue passes is to be let alone. An at
tempt to discontinue the issuance of
present time, would be followed by the
introduction of obnoxious bills in the
state legislatures and harassing ordi-
nances in many municipalities When
the people are educated to the point
where they will see that railroads get
exact justice in the legislature, in the
courts and in the city councils, the is
suance of passes could be absolutely
discontinued without apprehension. Less
talk and more action about a square
DEAF would hasten this condition.

was taken some time ago by the vest
ern railroads and precludes Chicago
using the through grain rates in a.
practical way. The rate is so framed
that grain men here can not stop the
grain in transit, and this condition. it
is said viii sooner or later affect The
domestic rates. -nsfsnr
Attention is called to the fact that the
handling of grain requires vast facilities
constructed at great cost. and which
must be operated continuously to pay.
and that such facilities are located at
Chicago. Peoria. St. Louis and Eilwau-
kee. 1t is understood that a bitter pro-
test will be made against the action Of
the Wabash, and efforts will be made
to induce the railroads to afford this
market relief.
