understanding between the Kansas
Natural Gas company and the Excelsior
Gas and Coke company, he could not
furnish gas at 10 cents, but would have
to charge Is cents per thousand feet
That made the ice manufacturers sit up
and take notice-and figure. They de-
clare that if they must pay 10 cents
for gas, the price of ice viii have to be
raised correspOndingly
Though Mr.. Diehlman made no for
NAL contract with US for ten cent gas"
said Mr.. Benner, "he said that we
could have it at that figure. Then he
came and said 1t would cost US Is cents.
If we have to pay that amount, and
we must for we are up against it for
the lack Of coal, ice viii go up in price.
That is natural and unavoidable
sequence, but one which we wish TO
escape by all means if possible. With
gas at ten cents. in comparison to coal
a its present high rate, we might get
along without much or any loss, but at
Is cents, even though coal is high now,
we would lose money if we sold our ice
at the old rate. Gas would have to be
sold to US for about seven and one-half
cents Der thousand feet if we wish to
compete with coal a the ordinary rate

periments, which we viii have complet-

compare the cost to coal. We are going
to pay IS cents per thousand feet for
it. We will have TO use it. that Is all
there is about the matter. We have no

he is doing everything he can to have
the rate modified and cut down to ten
cents. the figure which he originally
offered us When our experiments are
made we will be able to give out some
exact figures for the benefit of the pub

R. F. Hodgins. of the Topeka Ice and
Fuel company, says his firm has been
compelled to cancel several large con-

HONIEsEEKERs' EXCURSIONS.
Santa Fe Not Yet Considering Putting
on Weekly Ones.

Because of the action of some of the
railroads running from Chicago direct
" west and to the northwest in an
nOuncing that it was their intention to
run homeseeker excursions weekly in
stead Of bimonthly it was thought that
all of the lines traversing the south
west would follow suit. John Sebas-
tan, passenger traffic manager OF the
Rock Island and Frisco systems. has
announced that if the northwestern
euTsi0ns, the Rock ISLAND would see
that the interests OF the southwest
were protected and weekly excursions
would be run over it's lines for the
announcement has been made as yet by
the Rock Island of the running of
these weekly excursions.
No decision has been reached by the
passenger officials of the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe as to what they will
do in this particular matter. In fact
It has not been considered seriously as
yet. 1t seems to be the opinion of the
Santa F'e officials that weekly home
seekers excursions are not desirable.
1t seems to me that bimonthly ex-
cursions IS they are now run meet
all the demands. said an official Of
the passenger department today. Most
Of these excursions are run under the
auspices of companies which are ex-
plotting lands in the southwest. 1t
takes about two and a half days to
make the trip and the same number to
return and if these excursions were
run weekly that would give the home
seekers very little time to look over
the land they might purchase before
they would have to be hurried back
so that another excursion could be
started. II does no seem to me that
the weekly excursions are practicable
under present conditions. They might
be made So however, but our road
has made no move in the matter

times there is a simple embroidered

Ogden High Springs Surprise
on Heavy Team of Coach
Campbell.
Especial to The Herald.)

Logan, Nov. 9.-The Aggies and the
Ogden High School met here this after
noon. and the Farmers managed to win
out by the narrow margin of five points,
the score being 70 O.
The Ogden team played the snappiest
ball seen here in years and they treated
their bigger opponents to a decided sur
prise. The Aggies played slowly and
were badly winded all the time They
ran their plays in ragged shape and
played high. while the snappy little chaps
from Junction city started under them
and upset them in almost every play.
The first half ended without a score
being made. but the Aggies managed 70
score one touchdown IN the last half:
They kicked to Ogden's ten-yard line and
the bali was run back five yards. On the
next down Ogden fumbled and the Ag-
gies got the ball. Jamison pOked through
on the first down for a score. Peterson
failed to kick goal
There was good deal of punting in
the game. and the Aggies eXcelled in
this. The Aggies tried once for goal
from the field. but the ball went wild.
Ogden also tried once, but the kick was
blocked

TRIED TO TRADE JIMMY.
Boston Offered Collins to New York
Americans.

New York, Nov. 2-Boston papers
say Frank Farrell is after Jimmy Col

landers next year. That may be Boz

the proper way The unvarnished tru
is that Boston offered Collins TO Ne +

porte. In denying that he was AFTER
Collins, Farrell said few days ago
that he wouldn't give either Wild r
Frank for Jimmy, much less both. Far

with the Hilltop inneld. and are
extremely likely TO stand pat or Il for
