RYKER WANTS TO KNOW.
A Member Of the Railroad Commission
is Taking a. Look al The Track.

Hutchinson, July 2:-For the pur-
pose OF being we'll advised in the
premises when the complaint Of the
Trackmen'S Association comes before
the railway commissioners this week,
Charley Ryker, Of this city, one Of
the commissioners, took walk out
along the Missouri Pacific track east
and west of Anthony, few days ago,
and this is what he found:
The track was laid with No. Sc
steel in 1885. No new steel has been
laid since that time. A foreman and
two men are employed on this section
(Seven miles,. They were not az
work at this section on this date, hav
ing been sent TO the section east, al
though heavy rains had Just fallen
and the roadbed was soft. Quite a
number of new ties had been put in on
the three miles gone over in the last
month or six weeks, but apparently
very little work had been done on he
roadbed since the ties were laid. The
ties are loose in he ground and the
trains splash mud over the ties and
rails in passing over the road. In
several instances | found two poor
ties where rails join, found very many
open Joints where could slip one,
and sometimes two fingers between
the rails. | found one broken rail
in the yard, 1t was broken near the
END, Win piece OF wood placed be
tween the ends Of the rails. | found
the rail gedged up with pieces Of
board in two different places. Tie,
recently removed from the track are
almost entirely rotten and of no use
even for engine kindling.
The section west employs a fore
man and two men on TIE seven miles
His rOadbed iSin better shape, but
the steel is not so good. 1t is 81
pound, taken from the Paola division

years ago. On a part of the road

STILL SOMETHING LEFT.
According 10 Secretary COburn The
Kansas Farm Still Fixed.

Secretary Coburn ofthe state board
of agriculture has prepared and
issued statement which shows that
the Kansas farmers have a larger
supply of wheat and corn on hand
than at any time in the past six years.
Secretary COburn says:
SIN the fourty-eight counties that
have. certified their assessors returns
to the state board of agriculture, it
appears that 10, 5l2,SO4 bushels of
corn was in the farmers hands March
l. and 4,O6S,22l bushels of wheat
over from last years crop than at
any time since 1901, when the state
according to the governments count
produced its record yields of nearly
100000 bushels. The amount
held over from that year was nearly
100000 bushels.
"The farmers of Sumner, Stafford
and Barton counties had on hand an
aggregate of wheat in March exceed.
ing one and a half million bushels.
Sedgwick, Pawnee, Harper and Nc
Pherson had considerably more than
a million bushels.
"The corn figures would seem to
indicate that about the usual quaint
ties Of corn were on hand and for the
fourty-eightcounties reporting amount
ed to 2G per cent Of their total pro.
duction in 1906"

Common Nest for Cat and Hen,

Bowdoinham cats are noted for
their sagacity, but it remains for the
intelligent feline owned by Mrs. Sam

climax.
Our cat has taken a strange place
to rear her last kittens" Mrs. DonnelI
told the Journal Friday. Her chill.
dren were born in a hens nest and
ever since she has persisted in keep
ing them there. The queer part Of it
is the philosophical way in which the
hen seems to take the matter.
When she wants to lay an egg
she pecks at the kittens. who are too
small to resent it, aud if the mother
is near she pushes them gently from
the nest Just as sooa as the hen
has laid her egg the cat grabs the Kit.
