A HARD LUCK TALK.
President Trumbull OF Colorado and
Southern Makes Statement.

Denver, Col. July 21.-In discuss
ing the proposed general advance in
freight rates, Frank Trumbull. presi-
dent of the Colorado and Southern
road. said: Leaving out the question
of the recent business depression.
there is no logical reason why the
railroads should have been deprived in
recent years of the opportunity to
make better prices. The railroads
have kept freight rates at the same
level. while forced to purchase sup
plies at prices from so to 100 per cent
higher than ten years ago.
within the last fifteen years the
average railroad wage has been adj
vanced by from 33 to so per cent.
There is no desire on the part of any
railroad to precipitate any strike. Be
coming effective during the early
months of 1907, increases in pay of
railroad employees were made approx
imating s1OO.000.0O0 year. Though
the increase was higher than the roads
felt they could afford. the settlement
was agreed to, and general business
conditions undoubtedly benefited by
the averting of any possibility of a
strike.
"a deadly cycle has now been en-
countered in the railroad world. The
railroads cannot buy until business
improves and they obtain more money
and yet business cannot fully improve

FIVE ENGINES; ONE TRAIN.
Record of Missouri Pacific for Thirty
One Miles,

Coffeyville, Kan, July Pit took
two switch engines and three road
engines to get Missouri Pacific
freight train from Chetopa to Coffey-
willie Thursday night. The distance is
thirty-one miles. The freight was the
local westbound from Nevada, Mo-,
and there was one lone passenger
aboard it. His name is J.. Harry
Bailey and he travels for a Kansas
City chandelier firm.
The first engine broke down at
Chetopa and one was sent from Ne
vada. This engine got the train to
Elm, little station this side of Che
topa. There it went dead. Another
engine came out of Nevada and got
the train to the hill just east of Edna
when it too went dead. Coffeyville
was then asked for achievements.
A switch engine was sent from here
and pulled the train nearly to Kings
station. Here the switch engine
went dead. BY this time there were
enough dead engines in the train to
make good load, so one of the big
mongul switch engines was sent from
here 1t landed the train in the
yards here at 5:23 Friday morning,
nearly fifteen hours late.

GOVERNMENT BY COMMISSION.
Papers Are in Preparation at Ottawa
to Call an Election.

Ottawa, Kan, July 21.-Petitions
are said to be in preparation for cfrcu-
lation among the citizens for the pur-
pose of calling an election to vote on
government by commission for OF
tawa.
1t is stated that the papers are be-
ing drawn. and that considerable sem
timent has already been expressed In
favor of such a form of government.
Government by commission is a city
government administered by three
men instead of g. mayor and eight
councilmen. The various city duties,
such as steets, police. parks, sidewalks.
finance and utilities are apportioned
by the commission statute of the state
laws among the three men. These
men are employed and paid a salary.
The theory on which the commission
form of government is advocated as
against the mayor and council form
is that three men, who are paid to
give their time to public duties, Will
do the work more promptly and eff
fectively than a council of eight men.

volunteer their time, and are COM
PEELED to steal their time from their

A SPLENDID WHEAT CROP.
Ellis County Figures on 100000
Bushels This Year.

There was quite a discussion Mon
day among a number of our business
men, as to the amount of wheat that
will be marketed in Ellis this fall. The
amounts vary from 100000 bushels UP
to 100000. AS basis for the esti-
mate. it will be remembered that $780,
900 bushels were shipped from Ellis
during the big crop year of 1903. 1t
is but reasonable to estimate that the
acreage is larger than five years ago.
large amount of land south of town
having been broken out since that
time. This additional acreage will ex-
coed the acreage put into corn this
year, and bring the acreage up several
thousand acres more wheat than in
1908. This will swell the receipts in
Ellis over the 1903 crop so as to bring
it safely over 100000 bushels, and
we are pinning our faith on these fig
ures, and they may exceed them. The
railroad company is making an esti-
mate above the million bushel mark

sand head of cattle grazing in Green
wood, Chase, Martin and Butler coun-
ties have been quarantined by federal
inspectors, R. r. Grimes of Emporia,

though just how many cannot be de-
termined until an inspection IL made.
Inspector Grimes and DR.. Newman
left today for the range to begin the
inspection, which may take several
weeks, and possibly longer. All cattle
found to be infected with the disease
