WILL AFFECT COAL MARKET
Big Crop Movement Will Cause a
Shortage of Cars.


Learenworth, Sept. 1O.-The outlook
for the coal market for this year has
assumed an alarming aspect upon ac-
count of a threatened car shortage
this fall. Although all the mines
around LeavenWorth are now working
full force, in order to fill the current
orders, it is believed that as soon as
the shipping of the large corn crops
begins, the companies will be unable
to secure coal cars, and the price OF
the fuel will accordingly soar.
This shortage is already beginning
to be manifested in moving the crops.
Texas has the greatest cotton and corn
crops in the history of the state, and
other crops are also large. 1t is said
by authorities upon freight matters
that part of the responsibility for the
shortage can be laid to the fact that
the railroads in the dull season do not
put their disabled cars into condition
and it is claimed that there are more
disabled cars in the country than ever
before.
From the statements given out by
local mine owners, this shortage will be
more serious than those that have oc-
demand for coal the market in this
state promising to surpass that of last
year. The Riverside mine has been
opened and all miners who apply are
being put to work in order to supply
the demand. The orders which usu-
ally come in in August for coal, to be
stored for the winter months, are COM
ing in late this year. and if these are
allowed to pile up and are then sent in
during the rush months. this will add
to the dangers of the car shortage.

WICHITA WANTS BETTER.
Refuse to Pattern Their Dipping
Plant After Kansas City's.

Wichita, Kan, Sept. 1O.-"The Kan
sas City cattle dipping liant is far
from being good enough for Wichita
said General Manager G. NJ. Hunter,
on his return from Kansas City, where
he made an inspection of the dipping
plant with the view of planning a like
one for the local yards.
THE plant at the Kansas City yards
is built of wood throughout and is
nothing like the modern one we pro-
pose to build. From the ideas 1 gath
cred, however, we will have plans
drawn imme diately for a concrete dip
ping plant that will be unequal1ed any
where in this part of the country
There is no dipping plant anywhere
in the cattle producing section of the
southwest so that Wichita will have a
clear field. Thousands of head of
southern cattle go to Kansas City each
year that would doubtless come here
both for dipping and for sale when the
dipping plant is established. These
southern cattle, which are sold for
stockers and feeders mostly, have to
be dipped before they can be taken
from the stock yards into the country.
With such a plant here thousands of
head will be shipped here annually for
dipping and eventually a great stocker
and feeder market will grow up.

that fortune is into which the lola man
