The price of coal in western Kansas
is very high, ranging around SIS per
ton. 1t is almost exclusively Colorado
coal Dawson thinks the people of
western Kansas are overlooking their
own interests in failing to patronize
eastern Kansas coal which can be laid
Gown for at least So a ton less than Col
crado coal
Eastern Kansas coal can be procured
at the mines for So per ton or less The
Kansas freight rates are comparatively
low, varying from 81 to $1.75 per ton
The dealers tell him that to cover
shrinkage, waste. theft in transit and
bad accounts and leave fair profit.
$1.25 must be added to the cost and
freight. This would put eastern Kan
sas coal into any part of western Kan
sas for SIS a ton or less.
While the attorney for the railroad
board has a suit TO reduce Colorado
coal rates along Rock Island points in
Kansas, and hopes to win it, he thinks
that the education of western Kansas
people to use eastern Kansas coal will
give far better and more important re-
suits. At his request the university is
making chemical analyses to determine
the relative value in heat units of KAN
sas and Colorado Goals, and While this
is yet incomplete, he is satisfied that
Kansas coal will not suffer much by
comparing it with Colorado coal.

ents who could not accompany them
and the residents of College Hill lis
tened anxiously way into the night for
the strains of that old bell-and when
it would ring at last it would be a sig
ral for gathering. The bonfires would
be built, the yells and songs of the stud
ents would be heard all over the hill
and the old bell had performed its duty
asain-'nstilled joy and gladness into
the hearts of the students over whom
it held comp lete sway.
The younger students of Washburn
have heard so much about the thrills
caused by the ringing of the old bell
that they are now longing for them and
it Is this sentiment that harbors the
idea of recasting the old bell and plac-
ing it in the gymnasium or chapel bel
fries. Both of these befries are empty
today. The bell could be recast or at
least repaired until it would give out
the same old sounds that it gave out two
years ago-and 40 years ago. Until the
old bell is placed in position to ring
out the victories achieved by the col
lege, the students should not expect
thenl--and the last two seasons of foot
ball has proved this.

Outside newspapers seem to take
delight in referring to the plant OF
the Arizona Copper company. of Cliff
ton. in rather unpleasant language.
These reports perhaps do not embar-
rass the Arizona Copper company, but
it should be given credit for what it is
doing in the production of copper.
The Arizona Copper company is the
heaviest copper producer in the Cliff
ton Morenci district, producing an
average monthly output of nearly B.
600. 900 pounds at a cheaper cost than
most of the companies in this territory.
Another advantage of this company Is
the ownership of unlimited ore bodies
actually developed. 1t might be true
that the company could increase its
output to considerable extent, and also
cheaper its cost of production, but
judging from what copper is costing
other companies there seems to be
some doubt about it. This company
