County With Aid of Steam Pillow.

Colby. Sept. 15.-J. n. Fike, who

a quarter of a century. who is also
the present mayor of Colby, and ex-

missioners as WELL has fairly won the
title of big wheat king of northwest
Kansas. Until two years ago his
wheat growing operations was largely
experimental and the success he has
attained will no doubt be the means
of many others adopting the plan of
Mr.. Fike, and that thousands of
acres of Thomas county prairie will
be turned under and seeded to wheat.
He conceived the idea that the steam
pillow would prove a success in
Thomas county. He associated him
self with I. w. Haynes, a successful
steam thresher man of Thomas coun-
ty, and both of them have worked
successfully together. The first year
of the steam pillow operated by Fike
and Haynes consisted of a 80 horse
power engine and % disc plows
with which 1900 acres were plowed
and seeded. The following season
they threshed 5000 bushels. In
1907 they purchased another 80
horse power Reeves engine and
seeded 5000 acres. While the crop

has taught these men that the best
time to pillow for wheat is soon as the
crop is harvested and often while
the headers were running on one side
of a field the steam pillow was turn
ing under the stubble on the other
side. During the recent harvest these
wheat kings were harvesting. thresh-
ing, loading a train of cars with
grain and blowing with two steam
outfits on a section of land. This
year their crop is free from smut.
This year they will pillow and seed
5000 acres. At one time during the
last harvest they had 20 headers at
work. They claim that by blowing

the right time the farmers of Thomas

HEARING ON PULLMAN RATES
Commerce Commission to Make In
Quiry Thursday.

Chicago, Sept. ia general in
vestigation of the Pullman company,
it's schedule of rates and its alleged
determinations, is to be begun by the
Interstate Commerce commission in
Chicago next Thursday, according to
plans announced today. The case
grows out of complaints filed with the
commission by George S. LOTUS,
a former railroad man of st. Paul. He
declares that rates charged by the
Pullman company can be reduced so
per cent and still yield large profits.
He also maintains that a smaller
charge should be made for an upper
than for a lower berth.
Mr.. LOTUS first complained of
Pullman rates between the twin
cities and Chicago. A hearing on this
complaint was begun in st. Paul
nearly a year ago, but was adjourned
to be taken up again in Chicago. A
little later a second complaint was
filed by Mr.. Lotus, asking that a
general investigation be made of the
Pullman company's rates. The hear
ing Thursday will include both COM
plants. Commissioner Lane will
probably hear the case.

A CASHIER RELEASED.
w. J.. Collins Who Violated Banking
Laws Out of Prison Today.

LeaVenworth, Kan, Sept. 15.-Wil-
son L. Collins, former cashier of a
bank at Elkhart, Ind, was released
from the federal prison here today af-
ter a six year sentence for violation of
the national banking laws. Collins
was sentenced at the same time with
A. n. Broderick. president of the bank
and Walter Brown, a financier, who
borrowed heavily from the bank and
whose frenzied financiering is alleged
to have caused the downfall of the
bank.
The three men are brothers-in-1aw.
Collins at the trial turned states evil
dence and testified the bank loaned
Brown three times the legal amount.
Brown and Broderick have not spok-

lived in close quarters in the prison.
Collins associates have yet several
years to serve.

It is expected that this will be one of
the hardest fought battles that has
come before the commission. Fifty
nine railroads, practically every inter-
state line operating in Texas, are in
volved, but the real general interest
centers on the bearing which the final
outcome will have on contemplated
general advances affecting the entire
country. 'ii16Ha @i
The southwestern lines several
months ago announced a new schedule
of rates, which increased the shipping
expense on every commodity carried
into southwestern territory. The adj
vance, which was based on the st.
Louis-Texas common point rate, aver
aged about 10 per cent. The new tariff
became effective August 10.
Before the new order Of things was
put into effect, representatives of the
Texas state railway commission ap-
peared before the interstate commerce
commission and made efforts to block
the proposed increase, but without sue
cess. The commission, Chairman
Knapp told the Texans, is powerless to
prevent a proposed increase; its power
is remedial and cannot be invoked until
after the rates actually have been put
into effect.
Then the representatives of the Texas
commission, waiting until after August
10, when the new tariff became effec-
tive, filed a complaint with the inter-
state commerce commission, charging
that the increase is unreasonable and
unjust.
AS result of the hearing to be held
at St. Louis it will be determined
whether or not the railroads are juSti-
fed in making the advance. In case the
decision is adverse to the contentious
of the Texas commissioners, it is proba-
BILE the matter will be taken into the
courts and the railroads charged with
violating the Sherman antitrust law.

Mr.. Ault with Mr.. Stewart of Bald

ing in length from 100 yards to more
than two miles. In making these
portages everything had to be car

test the patience and courage of ex-

OF the sixty-eight days spent in
canoeing, thirty-six were rainy days.
The cold damp weather and the ever
present and well nigh uncomfortable
mosquitoes and sand flies combined to
make it anything but a pleasure trip.
