CHANGE military ROAD
May Be Located South OF River
Troops Are Coming.

The government pike road between
FIT. Leavenworth and Fit. Riley may
be constructed partially on the south
side of the Kansas river, instead of
skirting the hills entirely on the north
side. A party Of army officers made
an automobile trip from Fl Leaven-
worth to FIT. Riley and back again.
leaving Topeka this morning, for the
purpose of inspecting the road condi-
tons and were favorably impressed
with the possibilities of a direct route
on West Tenth avenue. Should the
proposed pike be changed it would
lead directly across the Kansas river
Tenth passing through Valencia, and
Alma to Fit. Riley.
Going out from Fit. Leavenworth
the automobile party followed the
north banks of the river, returning
they came on the south side. The car
was marooned at Valencia and
brought to Topeka today. Photo
road conditions were carefully noted.
Aside from the pike construction
the trip was largely taken in anticf-
patton of the movement of 5000
troops from Fit. Riley to st. Joseph
for the September maneuvers at that
point. These troops will be brought
through Topeka and will constitute
the largest body of soldiers to be en-
tertafned here at one time in the his
tory of the city. W. E. Thomas who
entertained the officers while in To
peka at the Topeka club was men,
Der of the automobile party. He said,
at am sure IL the county commission
ers see that something is done to i'm
prove Tenth avenue out of Topeka
that the troops will be brought to the
fairgrounds here and will camp. The
road is in bad shape at present.
take it that there is strong probability
that the pike would be brought out
Tenth too, if the improvement Is
made by the commissioners and if
they can be made to feel an interest
in it" Besides Mr.. Thomas of Leav-
enworth there were Major Nicholson
of FIT. Riley, Lieut.. Gruber of FIT

A. B. Quinton looked up the records
on this strip of land and found that
it had been dedicated by the Potwin
heirs as highway. Then, even II it
had not been dedicated at all, it
would have still been public property
for the reason that it has been used
as a highway for fifteen years, and by
the law becomes at the end of that
period private property. The county
clerk, under the circumstances, de-
clined to enroll this strip Of land on
