vile, Ohio county. The present
branch from lrvington on the Main
line Of the Henderson Route to
Fordsville through Hardinsburg is
not what is known as a paying
branch. The Louisville X Nashville
Is backing the building Of the line
from Madisonvillc to Hartford, coun-
ty seat of Ohio county. The work
is progressing finely. By the build
ing of line ten or twelve miles long
from Hartford to FOrdsvilIe line
will be given direct from Louisville
to jacksonville, touching the ST.
Louis and Nashville line. The ter
rtory from jacksonville to Hartford
is one continuous coal bed.
Already the Louisville q Nashville
owns a short line from jacksonville
to Providence in Webster county. 1t
is now backing the building Of line
Providence to Morganfeld, county
seat of Union county, which is rich
both in coal and agriculture. 1t will
invade the sacred territory Of the
Illinois Central. From Providence
l.. IL. y. can build twenty five miles
or more road and enter Marion. the
county seat of Crittenden county the
center of the zinc. lead and huorspar
industries of Kentucky This again
would give a direct line from Marion
to Louisville, a distance about 200
miles. Twenty-Five or thirty miles
further would take the Louisville K
Nashville through Smithland, the
county seat of Livingston county,
and then on to Paducah, the metrop-
oils of Western Kentucky,
la this section such line, besides
opening up vast territory rich in
natural resources, would work a
great detriment to the now exclusive
business of the Illinois Central.
Whether or not the Louisville and
Nashville could secure Northern con-
nection out Paducah, the road would
tap its own Northern line at Madi-
sOnville. What makes the proposed
line feasible is the fact that the l..
N \. is preparing to double-track its
line from Henderson to Nashville.
Owing to the numerous and long
sidings on this line the work will
not be such a stupendOus task.
Another probability is brought to
light when the spur from Morgan
field to Providence is finished by the
Louisville K Nashville. From Nor
garfield fifteen miles west on the
Ohio river is found Shawueetown,
ILL.,, where the l.. d y. now has
line which starts from its main st.
Louis line at McLeansbora, Ill. The
line from Morganfeld to Shawnee
town would tap the greatest and
richest corn-producing belt in the
State, as we'll as rich coal beds.
Such road would be a great feeder,
though bridge would never span
the Ohio at Shawneetown, which has
often been talked Of.

Vile representatives decline to have
anything definite to say in regard
to their proposed lines and lines al
ready in process of building in West
ern Kentucky, it is evident after sew
eral of these small extensions are
made that connections will have been
achieved which will give the l.. d
n. line of about $50 Miles in
length from Louisville in south
westerly direction toward Paducah.
At Paducah another connection will
be made with the Nashville, Chatta-
nOoga and st. Louis railroad, which
is controlled by the Louisville and
Nashville.
While there is no northern outlet
from Paducah at present save thru
the Illinois Central lines, the strong
est competitor of the l.. x y. rail
road, rumor says that the Big Four
soon will commence the building Of
an extension of its line from Harris
burg. Ill.,, to Metropolis, on the Ohio
river, which is nearly opposite Padu-
cab. This would give Northern
competition a. au outlet for fret ght,
which the l.. Il y. wants now, and

So long as the Illinois Central con-

and Livingston counties, where it
has had a monopoly on hauling all
the output of the lead, zinc, Auor-

being so extensively operated in
Crittenden and Livingston counties,
and which appears to be inexhaust-

The Louisville and NashvilleI peo-
pie are working quietly but steadily
on a number Of small spurs or short
lines which when linked together will
make a splendid line Of road, tapping
the richest coal fields in Western

Department Of Agriculture Issues a
Pamphlet OF Information.

washington. Oct. 13.-For the guild
ance Of the great number of people
from humid regions, who settle on. the
immense areas Of western lands open
ed to settlement the department of
agriculture has issued a report on
practical information for beginners in
irrigation"
There are several million acres open.
for settlement in the United States I'M
der irrigation works built by private
enterprise and works are being con-
structed by the national government to
provide a water supply for more than
a million acres Of arid lands. The re-
port says these are certain to cause an
influx Of settlers into western America
during the next few years. The report
discusses arid soils and water supplies
generally and describes how to locate
and build farm bitches, prepare land
to receive water. irrigate staple crops.
Experience throughout the arid re-
gion,'' the report says. "fs demonstrat-
ing the greatest danger to irrigated
lands is lack of drainage. Water ap-
piled to crops raises the ground water,
which brings with it the salts dissolved
from the soil; capillarity brings this
water to the surface where it evapor-
ates, leaving the salts to accumulate
until all vegetation is destroyed. The
only insurance against this is proper
drainage but anything-as economy in
the use of water and thorough cultiva-
tion-which will check the rise of
ground water or lessen evaporation
will decrease the danger"

The football eleven of Washburn IS
now beginning to be looked upon as
mountaineers of Colorado university.
Although the game IS but week of
Washburn now looks fit to give the Col,
0rado team a hard battle. Although the
men have been in practice less than a
month they are showing good team
work and are we1l-seasoned players.
Much credit for this splendid develop
ment is due to the efficient work of
Coach Weedes the Pennsylvania gradu-
ate who is now in direct charge Of the
Washburn squad Coach John Outland
OF last years team, though still the
physical director Of the college, has been
called to Philadelphia on business, and
has been unable to devote any time to
the team. But Weede, the long-Iegged,
broad-shouldered athlete. has shown
himself to be a natural born coach, as
we'll as a brilliant player. Many men
who play good football can not coach.
but Weede knows how to teach the
game. He has put more ginger into
the Washburn bunch than is usual at
llilS time OF year. Inc interference Is
showing up fairly strong, and the de-
fensive game is excellent. Weede has
developed a host of good end men, to
take care of this most important posi-
ton. He has no less than eight men
upon whom he can call to play this po~
sition without materially affecting the
playing ability of the team. They are
Johnson, Smiley, Glenn Haughey, Leo
Haugheys RObb, Larimer, Lee and
Maxwell. Some of these men can also
be used in backffeId positions. If

son and can polish off his team work.

The blue team has played four games
SO far this season and the result Is most
encouraging to the Washburn football
followers. The first game was two
weeks ago today when they beat To-
peka high school by a score of 8 to 0.
The following Tuesday, Friends unlyer-
sfty was taken down the line by q score
Of % to O. When the team went down
to Kansas City q week ago to meet the

for the team, fears that they would be

was a score of 9 to 0 in favor of Wash

Two games remain to be played before
