 in theil efforts at controlling the acreage and fixing prices of the prod t;ct. tIe cotton planters would accom- plish d great deal more if they em- phasize the raising of more supplies, It is not the speculatois who are the fundamental controllers of cotton prices: it is the universal trade law Of supply and demand. If the crop is short and the fact is known, the price will certainly be high. Still speculation at times does very materially affect prices, and if 1 the planter can prevent the specula- | ton that depresses prices, they VII do a great thing for themselves.
 But the farmer or planter who resu- | lates Il S farming by what others do is not the one that pays as much atten- l ton to kepeing down expenses as sell | ing for high prices, and this is the lesson that it is most~ important fel every cotton raiser to lealn.
 With no supply bill 10 pay, any planter can make some money on col ton, whatever the size of crop or sell ing price may be. But if it takes all and more of the proceeds of the cottor to pay expenses it woud make no q f ference if it brought pound. Tha1 is the real truth for every cottol grower to learn.

Surveyors Are at Work Locating
Road From K. C. to Memphis.

trail Part of the Plan.
Gossip and Matters Of Interest
IN Railroad Circles.

Chicago, June 2s.--In his planning to
get an outlet for his Union Pacific lines
to the Gulf of Mexico it is possible that
E. H. Hartman viii not build the line
he has projected from Topeka to Denni-
son. Tex, connecting there with the
Houston & Texas Central. He may run
a north and south line through Kansas
City instead.
A party Of surveyors is now in the
field laying out an air line from Kansas
City to Memphis. Tenn.
The survey has progressed far enough
to estimate the length of the new line
4OS miles. seventy-six miles shorter
than the st. Louis & San Francisco line
between Kansas City and Memphis The
Illinois Central mileage from Memphis to
New Orleans is 385 miles, making the
distance from Kansas City to New Or
leans by the proposed route 1893 miles.
The route now used by the Frisco be-
tween Kansas City and New Orleans is
1863 miles. The building of the proposed
extension to the Kansas City Southern
Will make the distance over that line
from Kansas City to New Orleans $3.50
miles The Missouri Pacific and its
allied lines make the Journey from KAN
sas City to New Orleans in 1,014 miles.
Ever since Hartman lost control of

figuring on a new outlet to the Gulf of
Mexico. He has already projected line
from Topeka to Denison, Tex, connect
ing the Union Pacific and the Houston
& Texas Central railroad, but the plan
fer linking the Union Pacific and the
Illinois Central gives a shorter and more
practical route.
Hartman now has fight on for con-
troll of the Illinois Central Railroad
men say that if he wins this fight it is
probable the link between Kansas CITY
and Memphis will be built. The line from
Kansas City would pass through a large
area in Missouri between the Rock Is
lands st. Louis line and the Frisco. 1T
Is now without practically any railroad
service.
The Illinois Central railroad is now a
Mississippi valley line with a road from
Chicago to Omaha. In this connection
railroad men say that Hartman may
extend the Illinois Central from Omaha
to Kansas City Hartman now has no
direct railroad between Omaha and Kan
sas City, unless the st. Joseph &4Grand
Island be considered. The extending of
the Illinois Central from Omaha to
Kansas City would open a grain pro-
dusing territory to the Hartman lines.

MAYOR TEARS UP THE TRACKS.
Rock Islands Executive Arrested for
Destroying Main Line.

Rock Island, H., June 2s.-Mayor Nc
Caskey yesterday afternoon, Wearying
of the monotony which had prevailed in
administration affairs for several days,
made another attack on the railway
tracks With q detachment of police,
he went to the river front, and, leav-
ing a proclamation with the agent of
the Milwaukee road declaring that rail-
roads had secured rights by misrepre-
sentation, proceeded to tear up the main
track used by the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul, the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy and the Davenport. Rock Island
& Northwestern, in order to cross the
Mississippi river.
The police were inexperienced as sec
ton men, and had torn up only few
lengths of rail when Sheriff Heider
appeared on the scene and arrested
Mayor McCaskey and six policemen on
the charge of malicious mischief. They
were arraigned before Judge Johnson
and the hearing continued until today,
the defendants being released on their
own recognizance. The railroads lost
no time in repairing the damage. They
propose to push criminal proceedings,
instead of resorting to injunction The
mayors last attack against the rail-
roads was disavowed by the city coun-
ell, which adopted resolutions denounc-
ing the mayors action and instructing
policemen IN future not to obey any
order he might give looking to the de-
structiOn of property or interference
with railroads rights.

CAR SHORTAGE PROMISED.
santa Fe Getting Ready TO Handle
Lots of Grain.


Wellington, June 28.=RaiIroads
seem to be no better prepared to take
care Of the grain crop this year than
they were last year. It is believed
around these parts that 1906 will see
greater shortage than for many sea-
sons past. 1t is estimated and the esti-
mate is as near correct as 1t is posi-
Bile to make it, that $500 cars will be
needed to move the wheat crop of the
Panhandle division alone. At present,
awaiting the first rush of grain to mar
ket, there are 500 cars distributed
along the entire division and It's
branches. When the thousands of
thresning machines get to pouring a
stream of wheat into the small eleva-
cars enough to carry it away.
The Santa Fe Is making every effort
to have men, engines and cars enough,
but along all its lines in the wheat belt
there viii be a shortage The crop in
the western part of Kansas is sufh-
GENTLY heavy to keep about all the
main line rolling stock where it Is, so
a draft can not be made upon it, and
foreign cars can not be secured for
transit All the train and engine
crews that have been laid off or trans
ferred at this point will be recalled
within few days. and there will be a
big extra demand for brakemen and
other train operatives
Shipments of wheat have already
begun. Oklahoma sending north a
considerable quantity as the result Of
the first threshing- In q week there
will be few stations in southern Kan

THIS BRIDGE TO BE A MARVEL.
Canadian Pacific plans Are 800 Feet
High Over Belly River.

Chicago. June 2s.-Plans have been
perfected by the Canadian Pacific to
construct a bridge near Lethbridge, Al
berta, which will be an engineering
marvel and probably will be ranked as
one of the worlds wonders. The plans
call for q structure slightly more than
a mile long and 300 feet above the water
level AS compared with other bridges
Of the world, the Brooklyn bridge is no
longer and is no more than half as high.
The world-famed Tyne bridge in Eng
land which was built by Robert Steven
son fifty years ago. is only half as long
and less than half the height
The Canadian Pacific bridge will span
the Belly river and is to be built for
the purpose of shortening and straight
ening the route between Lethbridge and
Macleod. The grade of the new line will
be much easier and heavy loads can be
carried at less cost The work will be
commenced at once.
