State Law ON tomobi1es.

State Law on Anton Of i1es.
We published last week the cit,
ordinace covering the running of
automobiles, and by request the
state law on the same subject this
week:
THE KANSAS STATUTE.
Will you please give us the road law of the
state of Kansas as regards automobiles and
other conveyences? Does an automobile have
to carry its number?-W. L. Luray, Kan.
The state law of Kansas requires
that every automobile or motor We
hicle must be provided with suit
able bell, horn or other signal. and
be equipped will good brakes.
From one hour after sunset to one
hour before sunrise one or more
white lights, visible for unreasonable
distance in the direction toward
which the automobile is proceeding,
must be shown.
SPEED LIMIT IN TOWN AND COUNTRY.
No person driving an automobile
on any street or public highway may
drive at a speed greater than is
reasonable and pro,,e having due
regard to the traffic and use of the
highway, or so as to endanger the
life or limb of any person.
No automobile may be run out
side the limits of any city or town
at a speed exceeding 20 miles per
hour, or within the thickly settled
part of any town at a speed exceed
ing 10 miles per hour.
WHEN APPROACHING HORSES OR STOCK
If approaching a horse, or any
livestock which person is driving.
the driver of a motor car is required
to exercise reasonable precaution
not to fir tighten the horse or stock.
If the animals appear frightened,
the motorist must reduce speed and
if practicable turn to the right, Civ
ing the road. If requested by sig
nal or otherwise by the driver, the
motorists must proceed no further
but remain stationary as long as
may be necessary for the animals to
pass. This applies to motorists
going in the same or opposite di-
rection.
On approaching road crossing
or intersection, a motorist must re-
duce speed to a safe and reasonable
point.
NUMBERING OF AUTOMOBILES.
Cities of the first, second and
third classes have power by local
ordinance to regulate the use and
speed of automobiles within their
limits, such ordidances not to be in
consistent with the provisions of the
states act. In Kansas the number
ing of automobiles is prescribed by
local ordinance. Country people
owning autos and living near town
usually register their machines for
convenience and safety and take
out a number.
Violations of the foregoing pro-
visions of the state law are punish
able by fine not exceeding 500.

Opening of Reservation Postponed.

The opening of the lands for allot- ment and settlement of the Indian reservation has beenrindefinitely post poned by the Interior department. There have been so many .rumors float ing around recently iu regard to the opening. and the supposed date hav- ing been announced, that Immigration Commissioner. A. B. Ming telegraphed to Washington Friday evening asking the department definitely if any date had been fixed for the registration or opening. Yesterday MT. Ming re- ceived telegram from the Land Office in Washington. saying that the open ing of the Indian reservation lands at Yuma has been indefinitely postponed. This has been done fn order to enable congress to take up and pass on the acreage to be allotted to the Yuma Indians. This telegram sets at rest the variaus rumors which have been published for some time in the Terri torial and California papers. that the registration was to be in January and the allotment or drawing in February Congress will likely act on the questio,
 this sesson, and the opening may come
 late in the spring, but certainly mol
 sooner.-Yuma Sun.

LIVERPOOL DOCKS GREATEST IN

LIVERPOOL England. Sept. IT, Cotton-manufacturing Manchester did not look like "ruination and disaster" to stranger. and neither does Liver pool.
 From the great Liverpool docks, the biggest and the most modern in the world, some sea-going freighter loaded with British-made goods, is leaving al most every hour of the day ships are docking at all hours. too. No vessel is turned away from Liverpool by high tariff walls,
 Without the least difficulty, England is maintaining her mastery of the worlds shipping year after year under free trade While Britain has been piling up her ocean tonnage at the wonderful rate of 1,00O,O00 to 2,000,- 900 tons per decade (more than 2,0O0,. 900 tons have been put on the last seven years) the United States, under protection, has seen her once proud shipping dwindle to insignificant proportions. It is not pleasant to rec cord this contrast, but it is the fact. That the ever increasing high protec- tion policy of America is the chief reason for the decay of American shipping can hardly be denied even by protectionists.
 Here are the facts in figures taken from the British and American official records:

JUAREz MAKES PREPARATIONS
 FUR MEETING

The following account of elab- crate preparauons OeIng made Dy Mexico for the coming meeting af President Diaz and President Tar at Juarez. is taken from the Fl Paso Times:
 That President Disz and his gov erIment fully appreciate tue dignity and historical importance of the meeting with President Taft and his entertainment on Mexico's soil, IS evidenced by the elaborate and cost. ly preparations being made by the Mexican government for Mir. rafts visit and reception at Juarez.
 Tn order to provide a suitable meeting place an addition to the custom house at Juafez has been built providing reception and ban. quet halls, conference and private rooms for the use of the two presi- dents. These are now in the hands of artists under the direction of a French painter of renown who IS decorating them in lavish but beau tiful style.
 Some of the finest and most ia nous paintings in the galleries ot the palace at Chapultepec, the otn- cial home of the president of Mexi- co, have been ordered sent to Juar- ez to be hung on the walls. Among the paintings coming are the DOT traits of George Washington, Benito Juarez and Morelos.
 Tn addition, the Mexican govern ment is expending large sums :n paving streets, beautifying the pub lie buildings and otherwise trans forming Juarez into a modern city without destroying it's distinctive Mexican air.
 That Fl Paso is not so busy ID preparation as Juarez is due to the fact that there was not so much to be done. The handsome new cham Der of commerce building afforded the ideal meeting place on this side and our paved streets and handsome business buildings are always ready.
 Both Fl Paso and Juarez will be eIs porately decorated with bunting, arches, in every conceivable way showing the colors of the two na- tions, for which there is yet more than ample time.
 The evident appreciation by Mex. ico of President Taft's visit to Juar- ez is not surprising to those who know of the close friendship of the two governments, yet it is none the less gratifying to American citizens and none the less appreciated by them"

which are four property or dressing rooms, two on either floor level.
 The other rooms on the first floor consist of library with alcove, tive study or lecture rooms, two cloak rooms and two lavatories. In the hall is the bubble" drinking foun- tain which does away with the pub lie drinking cup, that catcher and disseminator of germs.
 On the second floor there is a IF foot corridor, reached from below by two broad stairways, the gallery or the auditorium, and seven class rooms. The large class or lecture rooms, of which there are five on this floor and two on the first floor, are 24.6 by 32 feet and the other two class rooms are 12 by 26 feet, mak- ing in all nine class or lecture rooms.
 In the basement are fuel bins or fifty ton capacity, stove room and boiler room and janitor's workshop.
 The plans contemplate future addI- tions to the right hand end from the building when such additions shall be required, but the school as at present designed will meet all de mands upon it for several years to come.
 The plans are very complete and are distinctly creditable to the archi- tects, calling for building to which the city may well point with pride as a monument to education.

TUCSON, Sept. 1.-The new year of the University which opened yes terday for the examination of stu dents entering without certificates, bids fair to be the most prosperous in the history of the institution. Ap- plieations already presented indicate that the close of next Monday, Sept goth, which is the regular registra- tion day for all students, will show an unusually large college enroll menlt both of old students and new. Several attractive features have been added to the work planned for this academic year. Chief among these is the development of the sec ond year of the short course in agri- culture, which was inaugurated last year, and in which thirteen students were registered. Mir. w. L. Fowler 8. S., a graduate of the University of Missouri, will serve as. instructor in animal husbandry, assisting Pro lessor Clother.

Since 1900, British steam merchant shipping has increased 2,404,403 tons and it's sailing tonnage has decreased by 541,179 tons, the net increase be- ing 1,S63,224 tons.
 England has become to some extent the carrier, not only of the greatest portion of her own exports and i'm ports, but of a considerable part of the exports and imports of other countries. Besides her regular liners running to the United States, Canada, the West Indies, to China and Japan, to India and other places, amounting roughly to 1900 vessels, she has also an immense fleet of steamers and sail ing vessels known as tramps, number ing more than 14,00O. These go every where.
 The amount of shipping passing through the Suez canal is a thermom- eter by which may be gauged the trend of the worlds maritime com merce Between 1900 and 1906 the gross tonnage of vessels passing through the canal increased from 13,- 699,237 to 1S,S1O,713 tons, or a total increase of 5,111,475 tons. Of this in crease S,721,933 consisted of British tonnage and 975,53 of German.
 ! British ships are carrying American exports and imports extensively. The United States even found it neces- sary to charter British steamers to coal the battle fleet from the Atlantic to the Pacific and in case of war would have to avail herself of foreign bottoms for the transportation not only of coal, but of supplies.
 z The absence of American shipping |. from the great ports of the world is more than noticeable. The United States consul general at Calcutta re- ported in 1906. Not single Ameri- can ship, so far as I can learn, has been in any Indian port for years.
 Says the United States consul in Glasgow: Not a single American freight or passenger vessel entered or left this port during the year 1906 7
