HELPING OUT The WEST.
Senator Long and Congressman Madi-
son Working to Improve Condition.

washington, March 1.-The team
work of Senator Long and Representa-
tive Madison for western and south
western Kansas. particularly through
noticeable here this session.
These two Kansas members have de-
voted much time to the benefit and adj
vantage of their constituents. This is
particularly true in efforts to develop
and better the agricultural facilities of
that section of the state.
Mr.. Madison was able to contribute
materially to the quick decision by the
interstate commerce commission of
the case brought by the united COM
mercial clubs of western Kansas for
cheaper coal rates, the reduction
amounting to so cents per ton.
The next step was in respect of the
addition to the forest at Garden City.
Hamilton county had taken this UP per-
sonally with Senator Long last fall. and
he had initiated the movement immed-
lately upon his return here. Mr.. Madf-
son Joined him in the request for the
extension, and later the two secured the
Joint recommendation and request of
the entire delegation. The result is the
assurance that the new reserve will eX-
tend westward from Garden City to the
state line, south of the Arkansas river,
taking in the entire sand hill region,
and making a reserve of 100000 acres.
Both Senator Long and Mr.. Madison
went after a nursery for Garden City,
where seedlings could be grown for use
in the reserve. This was difficult to
accomplish, as the department thought
the nursery at Halsey, Nebraska, could
do the work. Finally, however, the de-
partment ordered the establishment,
and a special agent has just leased a
piece of land near Garden City.
Then came the good roads movement.
Senator Long had been trying to do
something for the forest reserve, on the
road through it from Garden City to
Santa Fe, in Haskell county, and in
other localities. Mr.. Madison set out
to secure a promise from the depart
ment that 1t would send an expert to a
large number of places in southwestern
Kansas to investigate the subject OF
roads in the sandhills, and in this Sem
ator Long, who is a member of the SEN
ate committee on agriculture, Joined
The joint request was needed, and only
the other day the department promised
. to send its good roads director and 6
competent engineer to western Kansas
as soon as the weather shall permit
Mr.. Madison devised the theory that
new reclamation project could be
formed by the government through this
reclamation service, as son as Kansa.

Crop reports over the winter wheat
belt are optimistic. Crop experts now
travelling in the southwest send ia
vorable reports of the growing crop.
Green bugs have been discovered in
few counties in Oklahoma and
southern Kansas but no damage, as
yet has been done.
Argentine reports shipments of T.

that Argentine raised a bumper crop
of wheat and with $50. 100000 bushels
available for export, the writer is in

is much interest in the market but
caution should be exercised in buying

When a Dog Bite Is Harmless.

"Rabies is common out in our
&C untry," said DR.. Abram. Arm
strong, of Hillsbroo. Ind. II want
to say a few words about hydra
phobia. When an animal bites
through clothing there is little
danger of infection. The virsus
is on the teeth Of the animal, and
when the person bitten has receiv-
ed the wound through 8 layer Of
clothing there is lite danger,
"The virus on the teeth is left
on the clothing and is Lot commu-
nicated to the person bitten.
Rabid dogs or other animals are
not like reptiles; they have no
hollow teeth through which poi
son may be communicated. It
must be introduced directly into
the system of the victim.
Therefore, when a supposedly
rabid dogs bites a person, if the
bite is not on the exposed part of
the body he should have no fear"

What They Ate.

The most interesting non-polit-
ical question connected with the
late Democratic convention Git de-
serve the adjective ''late' fer sew
eral %reasons) is that of the
amount of money spent by it's
members while in the city five
days or more. Estimates of the
gross amount, which are of course,
mere guesses, run from $50, 900 to
500. 900. The clothing dealers
say that they could hardly put
out their small articles, such as
shirts and collars, fast enough to
supply the demands of the dole
gates, after protracted sessions
marked by physical and emotion

hotel bills and the boarding
houses, the restaurants and so
forth.
E.. F. Creswell, of the Gem Res
taurant, stated since the meeting,
that his place alone sold 1000
pounds of ham alone in hand

by ham alone, but by everything
which a resourceful city could set
before them.-Charlotte Observer.
