PERJURY AT WORK

Without reference to the unpleasant
story told elsewhere in the news
columns of this paper there is ample
reason to believe that perjury in ore
of its ugliest and most formidable
shapes, has made its appearance in
the Henry Salzner case.
There is reason TO believe that it

Fire Causes $4,000 Less.

rowly escaped death when the most
destructive fire in the history of Cur

the postoffice building and contents
and DR.. Orr's office.
The total loss is estimated at about
100000, with about $1,000 of insur'
ance carried by Mr.. Orr on his build
ing and contents. The fire is thought
to have been incendiary.
Mr.. Orr, who was asleep in the store
was awakened by the fire breaking
glass in the rear of the building. The
store was filled with smoke when he
managed to get out and the entire
back portion was a mass of flames.
Postmaster Forsythe was sleeping
in the rear of the postoffice and was

Tank and a Half Of Bass.

sloner's car was in Winfield recently
and unloaded a tank Of young bass
and half tank of young croppies into
Timber creek. AS a tank is supposed
to hold 5000 fish this would mean
1900 young fish in Dutch creek. They
were not put into the river because OF
the muddy condition of the water. w.
B. Cation, as being fisherman of con-
siderable repute, was selected to re-
ceive the tender fishlets and deposit
them in their new home, which he did,
conveying them by dray to the creek.
The car, when it started on its rounds,
carried over two million of fish to be
distributed over the state. 1t went
from here to Arkansas City, where
fish were put in both the Arkansas
and Walnut.

RECORD BREAKER BEET, CROP.
7 - y . .
Garden City Sugar Mills Are Running
Night and Day.

Topeka Western Kansas never
had such a big sugar beet crop as it
has this. year. The farmers out there
are fairly deluged with beets. The
Garden City sugar mill Is running
night and day and will have to keep
going that way until long in February
to handle the beets.
All of the old time irrigation bitches
along the Arkansas river from Dodge
City to Colorado, save one, were plac-
ed in operation this year and the far
mers put all their arrigated land in al
falfa and sugar beets. The beet har-
vest Is now on and big army of peo-
Pile are rolling them into the mill at
the rate of 900 tons day. 1t will take
nearly all winter to move the crop
While the harvest is now on the
mill is contracting with farmers for
next years crop and the indications
are that the present acreage will be
almost doubled. The mill is to have
its capacity doubled to take care Of
the crop next year. If the acreage
be erected.
Sugar beets have proven the saliva
ton of the farmers in the Garden City
district. This year they have Melted
$50 an acre. The work was all done
by Russians and Mexicans under con-
tract, as was the hauling to the fac
tory.
The new railroad from Garden City
north is getting its chief revenue from
hauling sugar beets. The Santa Fe
has been compelled to send extra en-
gines and equipment out there to
handle the crop.
Plans are being laid now to make
the whole shallow water district OF
the Arkansas valley from Dodge City
to the mountains just one big beet and
alfalfa field. The new method of irri-
cation will enable the farmers to do
this. There will be an individual irri-
cation plant on each farm. The pumps
will be run by gasoline engines until
the Colorado company installs it's
electric power. Then electric motors
will be used.
So far the farmers have had no
great trouble in getting Russians and
Mexicans to do the work. But when
the whole valley is planted to beets
and alfalfa there will be a great scar
city of common labor there unless
the government succeeds with its ex-
pertinent in developing a one plant
beet seed. The principal cost now is
in thinning beets. With one plant
seed, however. the hard work will be
eliminated

Boys Essay on Clothing.

Here is an extract from an essay,
written by boy in London school:
Clothing is an article which every
body should wear. The least Of
this article is worn by savages or ma
tives, which is piece Of cloth or a
few leaves or feathers round the waist.
in cold countries, same as Eskimos,
the people wear more clothes than we
do, count of the icy cold out there.
They can skate all the year round, ex-
cept about one thaw there is in sum-
mer. If they walked about like ma
tives they would catch cold directly
and die of bronkitis. We put clothes
on which are nearly like our bodiess
some have caps, coats and trousers,
but women and girls wear hats and
frocks to tell who they are"

Eliswol Cn-The Frisco roundhouse
here burned to the ground and two To-
comotives were entirely destroyed.
The roundhouse is four-stall
house. When the hostler went to the
roundhouse about $3.50 to fire up the
engines he was not aware that one
of them, an oil burner, had been leak
ing oil all night. When he applied
the torch the flames burst out with
such fury that he was driven from the
engine, which quickly took fire and
set the building Attire.
AS the fire got hotter big tank of
oil exploded and debris was hurled for
a block.
The fire department was unable to
do much with the fire, as the round
house is at some distance from the
water mains, and it was necessary to
lay long line of hose, which cut
down the pressure.
A car load of powder was standing
on the track half block north of the
roundhouse, but the wind was FORUM
ately from that direction and it did
not take fire.
The morning passenger train was
unable to get out of here until nearly
noon, when an engine was sent up
from Wichita to take it out.
