day opened light in all of the grain pits

945sc Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago

price for Decembar $3.50. The close
was weak, with December 17sc lower, at
94A694Ac.

ket and cold weather in the northwest

market December corn opened as@11c
lower at 55G551sc, sold at 5512c, and then
declined tC 543sc.
The low point for December was 54Ac.

@7sc at 545sQ54%c.

prices were weak. December oats opened
llsc lower, at 46Ac sold at 471sc, and then

MANY FARMERS THERE

A thousand people or more witnessed
the removal of the first shovel of dirt
for the construction Of the Topeka and
Southwestern railroad Thursday after
noon at few minutes past three o'clock
when w. L. Taylor. president of the
company, removed a small square Of
blue grass sod from the southeast cor
ner of the Washburn campus. This
was carried three hundred feet to the
west and deposited at the base of a
grade stake which was surmounted by
a small American flag and the road was
declared open to the graders.
Several hundred people were on the
site selected for the opening when ex-
Mayor William H. Davis arrived in his
automobile. With him were Charles K
Holiday who was scheduled to start
the affair with appropriate ceremony,
as president of the Commercial club;
Congressman ]. NJ. Miller who also
talked and w. L. Taylor, the man who
has made the road a possibility.
Several hundred people gathered at
the Commercial club rooms at two
o'clock for the start to the scene of

being compelled to travel fifteen miles
to reach railroad The start made
yesterday was most suspicious and
there is no doubt as to the success of
the venture, as the people along the
route which has been decided upon
have voted bonds for the construction
of the road with the exception of Mis-
sion township.
1.-The financial furry which the coun-
try is experiencing at this time can in
no way affect the construction of the.
Topeka & Southwestern said Mr.. Tay-
lor. THE bonds have been sold and
the financial end of the affair has been
taken care of and now all that there is
to do is to get the work done. The sue
cess of the venture Is due i ma large
measure to the members of the Com
mercial club and the merchants of To-
peka, for without their aid I should
not have been able to accomplish the
desired ends. -A-s7
THE eastern people who are back
of the road are amply able to carry out
their part of the agreement and it will
be but short time before we will have
trains in operation over at least a por-
ton of the line. AS the work is COM
pleted the train service will be extend

New York, Nov. 15.-On the eve of
the assem- bling of the Central Ameri-

Sanchez, minister of Nicaragua to
Mexico, who is in this city, has made
public an official communication
which he addressed to Ignacio MariS-
cal, minister of foreign affairs of
Mexico, on the union of Central Amer
lean republics Senator Sanchez not
only expresses the desire of his gov
eminent that these five republics shall
be merged into one nation and places
President Zelaya, of Nicaragua, on
record as in favor of it, but goes so far
as to say that the latter is ready to re-
sign his Office The last declaration
will surprise everybody conversant
with Central American politics, as
President Zelaya, who has held his Of
flee a dozen years. has been regarded
as the chief trouble maker in Central
America, from whom only death or
revolution could take away his
despotic powers. Now he appears as
the leading advocate of peace and
fraternity.

MANILA, Jan. 15.-Governor General
Smith, accompanied by Commissioners
Shusters, Tavera and Luzuriga, is making
a tour of the northern provinces. He has
received an address from Mariana Crisos-
tomo, who arraigns the government for
coddling the Filipinos and charges that its
concillatory policy is making the people a
nation of weakings, unfit TO govern them
selves. He asks the government to adopt
vigorous measures TO restore seif-reliance.
The suspension of the land tax is criticised
as being unnecessary and as causing the
country to suffer from lack of needed i'm,

The address strikes a new note and
politicians fear 1t may mean the organ
ization of a new party.
