So perfect have water transportation
facilities become that it now costs but
10 cents per bushel to ship wheat from
Chicago to London. The large capac-
ity of these big lake and transatlantic
freight vessels, coupled with the OPP
portunity they have of carrying freight
both ways, has resulted in putting
water freight rates far below what
they would be by rail for the same dis
lance.

A number of towns we know of are
complaining of the dog nuisance-that
ours Of all colors, sizes and descrip-
tons are swarming within the city
limits. The cure of the difficulty is
very simple and within the reach of
any town. Just slap a tax of So a
year on every male canine in the city
limits and so Oh every female, and it
will be surprising in how short a time
the dog breed will evaporate. There
are mighty few people who are willing
to pay the amount mentioned yearly
for the privilege of seeing dog wag
his tail or having him bay at the moon

An old German Of whom we know is
responsible for the following sugges-
ton as to keeping cabbage during the
winter: Fill a barrel with choice heads
and put out of doors along in Deem
Der after it freezes up, cover and pack
the barrel about with straw SO as to
prevent thawing and freezing. Cab
bages kept in this way are said to
keep through the winter and come out
in April crisp firm and tender Late
fall apples handled the same way or
placed in q barn or shed are also said
to be prime in the spring after they
thaw out, the freezing seeming to
work no injury in either texture or
flavor

The times are badly out of joint
when a fellow cannot get away for
half day once in two weeks to go
fishing. The barbarian instincts which
lie deep III his breast should be in
dulged to that extent at least, and if
they cannot be he might about as well
be boarding at the county Jail.

Several attempts have been made in
America whereby tea can be raised
successfully and proftably, but we are
not yet able to compete with the east
ern countries. Were this possible we
would be enriched to the extent of
nearly S15,OOO,O0O per annum. But this
will come in time, just as the other
good things have.

The past weeks have been very busy
ones within and without the farm
home While the men folks have been
busy securing the hay crop and in
harvesting and thrasning operations,
the housewife has been engaged in
putting up a generous supply Of fruits
and vegetables against the long winter
when she has learned by experience
that these things are greatly relished
And while it has entailed a great deal
of hard work for her she knows that
these same supplies will not only
greatly reduce the cost Of the winter
bill of fare, but that they will also be
vastly superior in quality to anything
that can be bought over the counter.
A law passed at the last session Of
the Iowa legislature makes it neces-
sary for the proprietors Of separator
creameries to pasteurize all milk be-
fore it is returned to the patrons This
process is simply the heating Of it for
a short time at 40 degrees F. or above,
which kills the germs which may be
present in it, While the law seems TO
result fl hardship for those creamery
managers who are not equipped with
facilities for so treating the milk, yet
the object in view-a prevention of the
distribution of the disease infected
milk from one or more herds among
all the patrons of a creamery seems
to justify the means employed, even
if it does cause inconvenience to the
proprietors mentioned

western Kansaa RaiIroad Talk.

Jetmore Kansas paper prints-the
following: The editor of this paper
saw a map, last week, said to have
been made by a man in the engineer
ing department of the Santa Fe, show
ing the proposed extension of the
branch to the main line west of here
The general impression here, has
been. that the road would be extended
on the north side of the Buckner and
go to Garden City. but according to
the map we saw, the road will run
about two miles west on the north side
of the Euckner. then follow Spring
creek southwest to the north line of
South Roscoe township and then go
southwest and strike the main line at
a point west of Pierceville.
1t is also proposed to run a line from
the point where this proposed line will
reach the main line, southwest through
Haskell, Grant, Stanton and Morton
countless which counties now have no
railroad line. From the talk we hear,
the general impression seems to be that
If this line is built, part of the main
line trains will go this way, the dis
lance by this route from Garden City
to Hutchinson being practically the
same it IS by way of the present
main line and the Kinsley cutoff The
idea also seems to be that a division
will be located here the distance from
Newton and La Junta being the same
as the distance from these two points
to Dodge City.

is one of the places selected from
which deductions from the criminal
calendar will be made. A record is
made OF the crime, date. plea, how

MUST COME DOWN.
Railroads May Have to Reconstruct
Bridges at Kansas City.

If S. NJ. Brewster, special master, has
his findings supported by Judge Pollock
of the United States district court, the
Union Pacific and Missouri Pacific rail-
roads will have to tear down their
present bridges across the mouth of the
Kansas river and construct them at
least 16 feet higher and in such man
ner as not to obstruct the channel or
the river. S. NJ. Brewster was appoint
ed to take testimony by Judge Pollock
and arguments were made before him
yesterday afternoon by the attorneys OF
the railroads interested.
The findings of Mr.. Brewster Will not
be reported until the latter part of next
week at which time they will be nied
in the district court.
Embraced in his declaration that the
bridges should come down and that
they should be rebuilt higher or with
drawn, Is the statement that the Kan
sas river is navigable at least as far as
Argentine. The findings are elaborate
character of boats which can expect to
navigate the Kaw. The testimony OF
parties acquainted with the history of
river traffic on the Kansas figures
prominently.
The outcome Of the suit which was
started against the railroads by the
United States government is expected
to have an important bearing upon
the drainage suit cases which have been
filed in the same court by the railroads
against the drainage board of Wyan-
dOtte county. me contention III THESE
suits is that the board has no authority
to order the work which 1t was created
for and that it cannot levy the assess
nents which it is attempting to place
upon the property of the railroads. In
the oUs as to the navigability of
the Ka residents of Wyandotte
county assert that the bridges of the
three railroads figuring in the suit are
responsible largely for the overflow of
the waters fro mthe river on the low
ground each year.
The bridges are constructed close to-
gether, the approaches extend out into
the river bed and the piling has been
built to obstruct the free passage OF
the water in the river channel is the
assertion of the plaintiff.
The Rock Island secured permission
to erect its bridge a short time previous
to the filing of the suit while the Union
Pacific claims that the right was con-
tanned in its original charter. The gov
eminent has control over all navigable
streams and permission must be secured
to construct bridges.

TOPEKA MAN WRITES OF TEXAS
He Calls 1t the Nations Winter
Garden.

The featured article in the current
issue Of 1.-THE Western Trail" the
monthly periodical issued by the col
onization department of the Rock
Island Frisco system, was written by
Clarence H Matson, of Topeka.
Mr. Matson's article is entitled "The
Nations Winter Garden" and briefly
reviews the section of Texas where two
and sometimes three crops are pro-
duced every twelve months. His ar
ticie is illustrated with several half
tone pictures of scenes of south Texas.
In his Introductory paragraphs Mr..
Matson says:
1.-The real estate agent and the i'm
migration boomer is som etimes in
clined to be a trif1e ver-enthusiastfc
regarding the merits of the region he
represents. and I therefore was in
clined to discount the statement that
south Texas is a second California
before I made a trip to that region.
But a personal investigation bears out
the most extravag CANT stories concern
ing the productiveness of that region
