mailing mill is received and stored in
the elevator. The grain is transferred
outsof the elevator to the mills on belts
carried in elevated galleries from the
elevator to the different r.elIis, each beit
having a capacity for transferring To-
600 bushels, or 1 s carloads, per hour,
while running. The usual method pur-
sued in Minneapolis and elsewhere of
transferring grain from elevators to
factories is to put it into railroad cars
and switch it from one to the other,
which to supply the four industries
would require "a cars to transfer one
days supply to each mill, and as the
time consumed in loading and unload
ing and switching would require the
use of each car for three days at least,
the total mum Der of cars which would
be required in the switching business
would be about 200. To switch these
cars would require the constant use
of at least one locomotive.

wETL1NGToN,s GAS PLANT.
The Work Is Practically Completed
and Ready for Use.

Wellington, Kan, Jan. 16.-The work
on the Wellington natural gas plant is
practically completed. Were the natural
gas turned into the mains, nine tenths
of Wellington could be using it today;
only a small amount of work remains
to be done on the city plant to enable
the entire city to use the gas as soon
as it is turned on. This work will be
finished in a day or two.
Today Frank Clark of Independence
representing the Wichita Natural Gas
company, went to work with force of
men Putting in the regulator for the
main line on the site obtained from
Henry Bowers just north of the city
limits. This work will not take over
three days. When it is completed the
line from the homes of Wellington to
the main line near Atlanta will be
ready for the gas.
One feature of the situation that is
worthy of note is the fact that yelling
ton is the first city or town along the
entire line of the Kansas Natural Gas
company's new line from independence
to Wichita to have it's local plant installed
and finished. When the gas is turned
into the main lines, Wellington will be
the only city along the line that is ready
to use it all over the city. Ell Dorado is
to be piped next.

ger for the Standard Oil company.
Fifty years ago Wednesday Mr.. and
Mrs. Wolfe were married. Thirteen
years later Mr.. Wolfe began driving
tank wagon for the Standard. Since
then his service has been continuous.
A few weeks ago he and his wife COM
DIeted plans for celebra ting the fiftieth
anniversary and as beftted the occa-
sion he decided to invite to the ceie-
bration the head of the company which
had employed him. SO he wrote Mr..
Rockefeller.
But once more has been destroyed
the theory that John D." is man of
stone. A few days ago Mr.. Mayer re-
ceived a letter. In it was a check for
$50. signed by Mr.. Rockefeller him
self, and a letter from him instructing
Mr. Mayer to turn the check into IS
gold pieces and to place them in
purse which he should obtain and have
engraved. The instructions were that
Mr.. Mayer should go to Olathe on the
day of Mr.. and Mrs. Wolfe's anniver-
sary and present the remembrance to
them in person.
The instructions were carried out to
the letter and the first intimation con-
veyed to the aged couple that their in
vitation had even been received was
when Mr.. Mayer arose among the as
sembIed guests with an opportune talk,

ENGINEERS TO CUBA.
A Fort Riley Battalion Slated to Make
Maps of the Island.

Fort Riley, Kan. Jan. 16.-Tele-
graphic instructions from the war
department direct the return of the
battalion of engineers now at work
constructing a bridge across the Kaw

dcable to Cuba, where they will make

Gets No Pass and Blocks Railway.

Cripple Creek, Col, Jan. 16-Be-
cause the officials of the Short Line
have been a little late in getting OUT
their annual passes this year for those
considered entitled to free rides over
the great scenic line, the business of
the road came very near being tied up
and considerable inconvenience was
suffered. D. NJ. Mcnamara, an old
time prospector, who has made his
home for several years in cabin
above the High Line, near Windy
Point, claims that the railroad crosses
his ground without right of way. and
for several years the railroad officials
have recognized his contention by fur
nishing him an annual pass, thereby
avoiding annoyance and expense. Nc
Namara deemed twenty-four hours a
sufficient time for the railroad COM
pany to deliver his pass. and when it
failed to arrive he determined to tie
up the line. He piled rocks on the
tracks, causing cars and trains to be
delayed, and to make his protest more
effective. removed an upright from the
Expecta ton tunnel, which crosses his
ground under the track. He then post
ed a notice alongside the track to the
effect that the same was unsafe The
