in the United States.

Chicago, April 20.-Since the Off
Gals of the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad made public the plans last
August of the proposed station and
passenger terminals in Chicago, work

hoped that the suggested New York's

held in the new building.
The new terminal will contain all
that is best in the railway terminals
of European centers and the big
cities of the United States, and fur
thermore will have features foreign
to any other which will afford great
comfort for travellers. The station
will be of gray granite, facing on
Madison street, and will cost from
$1,000. 900 to $7,OO0,000, together
with it's train shed and its ornamental
subway carrying Washington street
beneath the tracks.
1t is estimated that it Will be
possible for 100000 persons to pass
through the new depot every twenty
four hours In size, it is to be the
second largest in the United States.
1t will be exceeded only by the Bos-
ton terminal but in architectural
beauty and in appointments interior

PREFERS THE NATURAL SOD.
Garden City Pioneer Prefers Buffalo
to Blue Grass Lawn.

Garden City, Kan, April 20
Samuel Cook of the northwest part of
the city has probably the only buffalo
grass lawn in the town. 1t is thf
original sod, and he has been very
careful to keep other grasses from en-
croaching upon it. He says it has
been etsier to do this than to push a
lawn mower. This grass makes a firm
velvety sod that seldom If ever re-
quires the services of the bugbear of
the modern city man, a lawn mower.
Mr. Cook has a fine private wind
pump irrigation plant for his two lots
which are set out in fruit and garden
plots. The reservoir is built of ce-
ment, Is inches thick at the base and
6 inches at the top, and sets entirely
above the ground. It has fine
screened outlet. and is well stocked
with small fish.

INTERESTS ARE IDENTICAL.
Farmers and Autoists Unite on Plan
for Better Country Roads.

Tor Better Country Roads.
Clay Center, Kan, April 20.-There
was a good attendance at the last
meeting of the Automobile club, and
it seemed to be the forerunner of a
very active season in the auto circles
of this county
The principal business of the meet
ing was to discuss and determine the
best method of expending the money
that was raised at the auto meeting
last fall for the improvement of the
roads.
1t is the purpose of the club to.
distribute the benefits of this fund in
a manner that will be equally agree
able to the country and the city. To
make the farmers feel that the roads
in the country will secure their share,
and to spread it over as much terri
tory as possible, compatible with ju-
dicious expenditure
1t was decided to purchase twenty
road drags and distribute them in
the localities where they will be put
into active operation, and it is hoped
by this means to secure the co-opera-
ton of the people of the country in
making as much Improvement on the
county roads as the money will pro-
duce.
