started rumors at that time that 1t
was the intention of the Union Pa
cIfic to rebuild the line to Mci'her-
son, build a new line to Arkansas
City, connecting with the Midland
Valley railroad, which would give II
a continuous north and south line to
Fort Smith, Ark, from Sallna.
The line from Sallna to McPEer-
son would be strategically very i'm
portant to the Rock Island railroad
and it has been known for some time
that this road has been making a
fight for better terminal into Sa-
lima. II the Union Pacific were de-
sirous Of selling the branch line to
the Rock Island, one of the first
necessary steps would be to make a
correct valuation of 1t and put itself
in a position to furnish a complete

Obituary.

Again the people OF Chapman and
vicinity are called upon to mourn the
death of a loved and respected one.
But a little more than eighteen
months ago Mr.. A. s. Lowry laid
down his noble life here to meet his
reward yonder, and now his beloved
wife has gone to join him in that ce-
Iestian city where saints immortal
reign.
Amanda Mary Snyder was born
near Chambersgurg, Franklin county,
Pa, on June 20 1912, and grew to
womanhood there. She was united In
marriage to Albert Small Lowry In
1855 and together they lived near
their childhood home for twelve
years, till 1878, when they moved to
this state and located which has ever
since been their home. In 1891 they
removed to Chapman for the pur-
pose Of educating their children and
the home has ever since remained
here, excepting for the calling to the
higher life OF the husband and father.
Mrs. Lowry early united with the
Evangelical Lutheran church and dur
ing her entire life found pleasure
in its association and services and
was always faithful in attendance.
She departed this life for the brighter
world the morning of Sept. 80, 1910.
Mrs. Lowry was loved and respected
by all who knew her and her kindly
ministering hands have bestowed
many blessings on those about her.
Loyalty to home, friends and church
and loved ones were her strong char
acteristics and her daily life was a
lesson in love, kindness and tender
care.
She leaves four daughters, Mrs.
Amanda Baughey, Mrs. !. J. Mllier'
Misses Maude, Elsie and Lesta; three
sons, John, Curtis, and Will; five
grandchildren, a brother, other near
relatives and host of friends to
mourn her death.
Funeral services we're held at the
home Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
followed by brief service at the
Lutheran church, DR.. H. H. Hail OF

last resting place in Indian Hill GEM

Praises Abilene water.

Abilene (rather than Dickinson
county, prides herself on her Sand
Springs water and her watermelonsl
The latter is being exhibited in Salina
most any day and sold at 10 to 30
cents apiece. Those at the latter
price are beauties like the price. The
water is trailed from a distance west
Of Abilene, between Salina and Abb
lene. The melons are also raised on
the sand fields at the same point.
We have thought 1t would be good
thing to bring this water to salina
but the doctors might kick as It would
be the means Of cutting out, or cut
ting down. kidney complaints, as It
is what is known as a fine type Of
soft water. A company that would
pipe the water to saiIna would doubt
less have "a big thing Of it.-salina

GUARANTY Law is IN EFFECT
COURT or APPEALS ORDERS IN
JUNCTION DISSOLVED.
This viii place this Law In Operation
Pending the Appeal to Supreme
Court.

Topeka, Oct, 4.-The Bank Deposit
Guaranty law will be in effect in Ran
sas in day or two unless Judge John
c. Pollock in the federal court refuses
to obey the mandate of the court OF
appeals dissolving the injunction.
Judge Pollock granted the Injunction
preventing the further operation q
the law. and an appeal was taken 70
the United States Circuit Court OF
Appeals at St. Paul, which dissolved
the injunction.
While the national banks have ap'
pealed to the supreme court OF the
United States for further hearing in
the case, the order dissolving the In
junction goes into effect Just the same
and the law can be put into operation
as soon as the mandate becomes a
part Of the court records
The attorneys for the state. Fred D.
jackson, attorney general; G. H, Buck
man and A. G. Mitchell, will go be
fore Judge Pollock in Kansas City and
ask that the mandate be ordered
spread on the records. There are now
1893 banks participating in the guaranty
fund. Thirty others have applications
on file and these will be admitted a
few days after the law is put into op'
Grafton again. The law will continue
in full force pending the final hearing
Of the case in the United States SUI
preme Court.

is greatly handicapped BY the lack
Of good roads.
"The quick transportation facilities
Of the army today are about as good
as in other countries. We have ex-
cellent railroad and steamship facil-
tiles, but what we lack 10 quick
made Of transportation between ter
minals of railroads and the places OF
encampment of troops. This lack
can only be overcome by the use OF
automobiles. With a number OF high
cless machines at the disposal OF the
war department. the difficulty would
be overcome and the problem solved.
In European countries, automobiles
have, in a great measure, superseded
the horse and the army mule. Starr
officers use the machines exclusively.
Courier work, from division head
quarters to commanders in the field
Ia carried on exclusively by machines
Their use is absolutely essential from
their point Of view.
Other officers OF the United states
army favor the use Of the automobile.
Commissary officers as well as med
ical and telegraph officers, urge the
adoption of the machine. In the
ommIssary department, especially the
use of the automobile as a means OF
transportation is strongly urged.
It Is pointed out also that the Unit
ed States army would be greatly ben
Gifted If portable ovens on wheels
should be adopted rather than the
portable ovens now in use. In the
ouartermaster's department the use
of the auto for the shipment of sup
plies is said to be essential.
The only way in which the War
Department can see its way out OF
the difficulty Is through the method
of registration referred to. Should
private automobiles be needed, they
could thus be easily obtained. The
owner would be paid the original
cost Of the automobile, and at the
same time, the army would be able
aneedily to perfect its organization.

NO state or county has ever deVel-

Mr. jackson said that something
more than 10 per cent Of the revenues
Of the United States are yearly dis
hursed for military uses for the sap
port Of the army and navy and the
payment Of pensions.
"The sum expended for one battle
ship Of the Dreadnaught class would

battle ship is as great as would be
the cost Of maintaining the ocean to

FIRST PHYSICAL VALUATION.
Union Pacific Trying to Find out Val
ne Of Property.

Data for use in physical valua-
ton being made of Its entire system
are being taken by G. N. Gibbs, OF
the head offices Of the Union Pacific
at Omaha.
According to Mr.. Gibbs this is a
work upon which the road has had
It's office force busy for the last eight
months. Three men besides himself
are at work along the line Of the
route in Kansas at the present time
securing figures 70 show TIE value
Of the Union Pacific right OF way
through this state.
This Is the first time railroad OF
this country has ever gone system
atically about making a physical val
uation Of its property
The Grand Trunk railway Of Can
ada last year made a similar Nalua-
ton. The Union Pacis'c is the first
railroad In the United States to fol-
low its example.
The news that the Union Pacific Is
making a physical valuation OF its
system will be surprise to the peo-
nile Of Kansas who think the state
tax commission in assessing the rail-
roads make a physical valuation OF
each line.
1.-THE road will not pay any atten-
ton to the figures Of the guess WORK
tax commission" said Mr.. Gibbs.
"They take a ride over the Kansas
lines about once a year, believe
and that's about all.
1.-THE road wants exact figures on
the value Of its property for the
same reason that any business man
would want such figures. For one
thing, data Of this kind has proved
very useful in lawsuits of the road
over land and land values"
Mr.. Gibbs is at present at WORK
on the valuation of the right OF way
of the branch line from Mcpherson
10 salina. In order to ascertain the
value Of the land owned by the rail-
road he takes the recorded sales val
ues OF land along the side Of the
right Of way, where sales have been
made for a valuable consideration
and comparing this with the assessed
values Of the same land.
The value Of the land owned by
the road Is taken upon this basis, with
one exception and that is where the
road has had to purchase It's right
lof way, Here the officials Of the
lroad argue that their right Of way
lis more valuable than the adjoining
Hand because it is customary for the
private land owners Of the country
to hold It up" more or less when
They learn that the land IL wanted
for a railroad right Of way.
Does the Union Pacific think Of
lseliinE the Mcpherson branchf
ASIDE from the fact that the uniOE
iPacifie seems to be making q valua'
ton Of It's entire system. It IL pos
lsIble that Mr. eibba' visit 10 SALINE
