MAY CHANGE ROUTE.
Topeka & Southwestern Railroad Sur
veyors Awaiting Instructions.

The active work of surveying the
permanent line of the Topeka &
Southwestern railroad has been delay
ed a few days awaiting the consulting
engineers opinion as to the possibility
of changing the route so that it will
miss the Merriam and Harmon farms
just west of the city. AS the line is
now surveyed it will cross the Merriam
farm between the wagon road and the
house, and Mr.. Taylor has taken the
matter up with Lamprecht Brothers &
Co. with view of having the route
changed if possible.
Mr.. H. n. Herbert, the consulting
engineer has taken the matter under
advisement to see if it is possible to
make the change and his decision is
awaited and meanwhile the corps of
surveyors are quartered in the city
ready to commence active operations
as soon as his decision is received.
The preliminary survey is about the
same as numerous other surveys for
line in this section of the county, and
is practically the same as the one made
by an engineering corps just about the
close of the war. Whatever the de-
cision of Mr.. Herbert may be active
work of stalking the route for the
graders will be commenced some time
next week and the work of complet-
ing the line will be pushed with the
utmost speed.

soc will go to Colorado for the next three

Mr. Bledsoe said this morning that:
1.-The convention just closed has been one
of the most successful meetings that
have ever attended in this section OF the
relations among the delegates at the meet
ing, and says that Spiritualism is gaining
more of a foothold in the state of kansas
than it ever has had before.
The officials were the onlcers elected
Bessie Beiiman of Winfield: vice presi-
ident DR. Jose Montoya of Wichita; sec
rotary J. A Bruer of Sterling; treasurer,
Jacob Hey of Overlook. Aside from the
officers that were elected a board of trus-

Paving contracts were granted in
Lawrence last week for $1.30 and $1.33
This will form a sort of criterion of how
paving contracts are being let.
Increased cost for labor, increased
cost for fuel for the manufacture of
brick and also the higher price paid for
sand are said to all contribute towards
the higher price that the brick manu-
facturers are asking for their product
and incidentally for the higher bids en-
tered by contractors.
If some one could show a way out
Mayor Green would endeavor to cut the
paving of Central avenue in two. But
1t is too late.
''Seventy-five per cent of the cost of
paving Central avenue which is paid by
the abutting property will be paid by
the property owners on the west side of
the street" said the mayor. This works
a hardship. is caused by the little
points of land that at every block come
in on Central avenue on the east side
of the avenue. The city too is going
to bear a heavy proportion of the cost
just for this same reason The paving
should have not been continued more
than half way

CATTLE WRONGLY TAXED.
County Commissioners Wipe Out As
sessment on Mr.. HoSacl's Stock.

F. L. Stone, an agent for Charles NJ.
Hosack a farmer living near the Shaw
nee county line, and who has property
in both Shawnee and Wabaunsee coun-
ties, appeared before the board of coun-
ty commissioners Saturday and asked
that Mr.. Hosack be relieved from the
assessment on 200 head of cattle which
were returned by the assessor of Dover
township as being subject to taxation
in this county.
Mr. Stone stated that these cattle
were a part of a herd of 321 head be-
longing to Mr.. Hosack and that the
200 had been put on to pasture on the
Alexander ranch in Shawnee county
during January and had been there
until February Is when the pasture
was eaten out and they were driven
back to another ranch in Wabaunsee
county Mr.. Stone also stated that the
entire herd of 321 head had been as
sessed for taxation in Wabaunsee
county and if the assessment against
200 of them stood in Shawnee county
it would mean the double taxing of
them.
These 200 head were assessed in
Shawnee county at $4,000 and under
the rule taxes would be paid on them
ON the sum of $1,000, or on half their
assessed valuation.
After hearing the facts in the case
the county commissioners decided to
wipe out this assessment against Mr..
Hosack ON the Shawnee county books
Mr.. Hosack has some other personal
property in the county that is subject
TO taxation.

Tame Beaver In Canada.

In Manitoba the beaver is protected
by law from either being shot or
trapped, anu the protection results In
increase. Colonies of the animals can
now be found both on the Ochre and
Turtle rivers, to the east of Dauphin.
One colony has started building
dam on the Ochre river at the railway
bridge near the village. So tame have
the animals become that 1t Is com.
mon thing for the residents to visit
the locality in the evening and watch
the Industrious animals at work. In
one or two cases the work of the
beaver in damming the Turtle river
has proved a loss to farmers in the
vicinity by their land being flooded
and the water overfowing it. The
matter was laid before the govern.
ment in Winnipeg by parties interest
cd, and permission obtained to open
the dams. but not to molest the ami
mails. AS the beaver increases rapid
ly, the government is likely to have
another problem-on its hands to
solve before a great while.
