Judge Ruppenthal in Luray Herald:
cit is hard for us in central and west
ern Kansas to grasp the idea that right
at hand on the old FIT. Hays reserva-
tion is probably the largest experiment
farm in the world. Many of US think
nothing of the matter, while other
people journey for hundreds of miles
to see the great experiment by Kansas
on public land. When the best citizens
of Hays throw open their homes to the
farmers who attend the farmers meet
ing, as they did last week, and receive
and lodge as many as five farmers in
one house, there is evidence of whole
souled western earnestness that means
much for the future of this section.
The good old days of easy ways in
liquor shipments are gone, possibly
forever. At Hays it transpired IN
court that dray man has blank orders
printed for the delivery of Intoxicating
liquors to consignees. The railroad
agent will not deliver intoxicants to
draymen except upon written order.
The deliveries no longer come as ''pOp,
drugs, soda water" etc, but come
under real names.

The Kansas Farmer had one of its
editors here during the Farmers
Meeting and gives nearly two pages to
describing the scene to its thousands
of readers. In it we find this of our
little city and the State Park along the
the creek: ''Perhaps few towns in any
state can show wider degree of con-
trast between past and present history
than is shown by Hays, Kansas. Adj
jacent to the town site is Boot Hill in
which were buried geventy-nine men
and one woman who met with violent
deaths. Now the town is the seat of
three large educational institutions,
and is bristling with enterprise and
progressiveness. In the old days it
was adjacent to military post, to the
wandering Indian tribes and the great
COW camps. Now it is q beautiful lit
tie city equipped with all the modern
conveniences and retaining nothing of
the older and more strenuous days.
In its march of improvement with
city water, sewer, electric light and
telephone, its schools and churches it
also includes its State Park on the FIT.
Hays Reservation: ''The plans include
the making of a state park which shall
use the magnificent growth of native
timber now standing on Big Creek as
foundation upon which will be built
park that will extend the length OF
the stream through the property, ana
along which viii be built an example
of good roads methods which will be
about fourteen miles long. Adjacent
to the creek will be a forest nursery,
from which it is hoped to distribute to
the citizens of Kansas at least one mil
lion trees a year of those varieties
which have proved themselves adapta-
BILE to western Kansas conditions The

Engineer Finds Gold.

Williamsport News.
While walking over the noun
tain in the wilds of Sullivan coun-
ty recently, Alferd Lovelace, an
engineer in the Sweets steel plant
made a startling discovery. In one
of the mountains many miles from
any settlement, in one of the wild
est spots in the states center, Mr..
Lovelace ran across a black stone
in the side of hill. Picking it
up and thinking that the stone
might possibly contain some min
eral, Mr.. LOvelace took the stone
home with him.
When he reached the house he
placed the stone on shelf in the
parlor. Next to the stone was a
small battery. No sooner had the
stone been placed on the shelf than
the battery attached the stone to
it. Amazed at what had taken
place Mr.. Lovelace returned to the
spot where he had procured the lit
tie black stone and gathered a
small quantity of them.
Returning home he sent samples
to Colorado and New York. In
less than week Mr.. Lovelace re-
ceived an answer from Colorado.
A specialist had examined the
stones and stated that they were
highly impregnated with magnetic
iron and seven other valuable min
erals of which traces of gold were
prominent. The owner of the
land lives in Virginia and efforts
are being taken by Mr.. Lovelace
to purchase the land.

The man who makes two blades
OF grass grow where formerly there
was but one is rightly said to be
public benefactor. So too, is the
nan who continually speaks well of
his town, who points out it's advan-
tages, and who breathes spirit of
hopefulness in all his utterances.
Such man helps the business of
his town, gets other people to talk
about it in the same strain, and he
has the satisfaction of seeing the
town grow as the result of his boost
ing and that of others. Local pa
triotism counts and it is as much
needed and as much to be COM
mended in its place as national
patriotism.

Aerial navigation is making
rapid strides of late. The memor-
able flight of Paulhan in England,
and the no less remarkable voyage
OF Curtiss from Albany to New
York indicate the great possibilities
of this mode of travel. Probably
the risks from weather and the
difficulties of overcoming the law
OF gravitation may prevent it from
ever being commercial and popular.
But for military, scientific and
other purposes aerial navigation
has, apparently, a great future
before it.

RATES ARE TO
REMAIN AS THEY ARE
Administrators Plan to Raise
Them VIII Not Come to Any
thing Definite.

Washington, Feb. 1:.--There will beno
Increase in second class postal rates at
this session OF congress. This has been
definitely decided by the House COM
smittee on postoffices and postroads.
The appropriation bill for the depart
ment h been practically completed
and probably will be introduced in the
House In about q week or 10 days. It
will contain nc legislation along the
lines recommended by Postmaster Gem
eral Hitchcock with reference to the
second class rates. The committee Is
unanimous in the belief that the rec
concentrations of the department would
put q large number of publications out
OF business. and the members are not
ready to admit the deficit can be at
tributed entirely to second class BUSH
ness.
It became known today that the
business methods Of the p%ostoffice de-
partInent will be thoroughly investi-
gated before the House committee at
temptss to call upon the magazines for
more postage. There also viii be an
investigation Of the amount of ranked
mail which is being carried. While it
Is known In q general way that the
mail which IL carried free is extremely
heavy, there Is no way to determine
the exac amount. For this reason it
is probable that the committee will ask
that a special stamp be used on
franked mail for one ear. 1t will then
be in a position to estimate to 4 cent
the cost of this class of mail.
