AGAINST ASYLUM
IN KAY COUNTY
Residents Protest Against the Plan
of Converting chilocco School
Into Insane Asylum.

Arkansas City, Kans., Jan. 2S.-Bus-
mess and professional men of this
city and surrounding country have de-
cided to enter vigorous protest to
the United States government in re-
gard to turning over the Chilocco In
dian school reservation, located just
across the state line from here in Kay
county, Oklahoma, to be used as a
state asylum for insane patients of the
new state. Oklahoma residents, that
is, some of them, want the govern
ment to turn the school into an asy-
lum at which insane Indians can be
taken care of for the federal govern
ment as well as crazy whites for the
new state. The Oklahoma legislature
has passed a resolution asking Con-
gresham Mcclure to have this done
and unless some better way can be
offered for the disposal of these
schools that is probably what will be-
come of them.
1t is quite likely that no further fed
eral appropriations will be made for
the maintenance of the Chilocco
school as Commissioner Valentine and
other officials have recommended that
none be made. Instead of giving the
schools to Oklahoma, the residents
of this city and other southern Kansas
towns will petition the department of

cording to compilations just made

ROAD WILL SURELY DISCOVER
AN OUTLET FOR SYSTEM
WEST OF DENVER
BEFORE YEAR
ENDS.
Purchase of Western Pacific MAJ
BE Result of Visit of Nudge
to Denver Recently.

The Rock Island system will find
an outlet west of Denver this year
The company has not given up all
ideas of buying the Denver, North
western & Pacific and If that pre-
sents the most feasible way to
ern Pacific at Salt Lake City nego-
tiations will be opened with David
II. Moffat for its purchase. The
Rock Island is behind the Denver
& Gulf and will finance the con-
struction of that line from Dallas
to Denver and Colorado Springs.
The above information comes
direct from parties who were in
close touch with H. U. Nudge. pres
ident of the Rock Island system.
who spent yesterday in Denver.
Mr.. Nudge played golf' yester-
day afternoon, according to Off
cial announcement given out this
morning by the Rock Island off
cials.
The principal objections to the
purchase of the Moffat road. as
put forth by the officials. after ex-
amining the special report made b.
Chief Engineer James Berry, was
the expensive cost of operation oveI
the heavy grades and the neces--
sity for constructing the tunne-
through James peak If the line
was to be used for transcontinen-
tai traffic. These drawbacks, how
ever. are not such that they will
definitely prevent the Rock Island
from purchasing the road If Other
arrangements to get to Salt Lake
City cannot be made upon more
advantageous terms.
The object in constructing the
Denver & Gulf is not only to get
q direct route from the gulf coast
to the proposed outlet to the Paci-
fic. but to put the system in a posi-
ton for the Northwest. Mr.. Nudge
returned last night accompanied by

He may have been mistaken in the
general judgment expressed in that
letter of last September to Mr..
Pinchot, which was produced before

of the letter itself. the poise and

ness and firmness, make it quite

To Provide for shrinkage.

Evaporated fruits shrink good deal,
and if a grocer expects to be able to
sell as many pounds as he buys he is
very apt to find himself mistaken, says
the Grocers' Magazine.
The manager of one of Boston's larg-
est grocery stores, in discussing this
matter the other day, said: 81 always
figure that my evaporated fruits cost
me ~ cents pound more than they
really do. This is liberal estimate,
and probably / cent would be safe. If
every grocer added cent pound to
the cost, calling the increased figure
the actual cost, he would be safe. There
is a shrinkage and there is also over
weight, the giving of which can hardly
be avoided. If grocers were all in the
habit of adding cent a, pound to the
cost to provide for shrinkage they would
not be SO willing to sell prunes costing
Z cents for 10 cents, for it is practically
selling them for what they cost. -

Adyertising and the Pogtoaaee.

Mr.. Taft is of opinion that the maya.
zines carry more advertising in proper
tion to reading matter than the news
papers. This, as it happens, is an entire
mistake. But the suggestion gives OPP
portunity to explain that of all the bust
ness done by the postoffiee department
the most profitable is the carrying of ad
vertising. Rather than force magazine
advertising out of the mails, the gov
eminent could better afford to carry it
for nothing. The chief object of the
reputable business people who patronize
the advertising pages of the periodicals
is to provoke correspondence. A single
advertisement on one page of period
cal has brought to the advertiser 1900
letters. Each one of these letters starts
return patronage of the mails. The
actual carrying of that advertisement
has cost the government an infnitesimal
sum. The return received by the gov
eminent has been the large profit upon
the sale of many thousands of 2-cent
stamps. 1t is impossible properly to
consider the rate of postage to be
charged by the government on one class
of matter without studying the relation
of the rates on different classes to one
another. Mr.. Taft is actuated by com
mendable desire to tighten the burdens
of the government and to introduce
economies. But as a matter of fact the
carrying of newspapers and periodicals
is not a burden to the postofice depart
ment, and it is great boon to the in
telligent public of America.-From

cIimbInE Perch Travel Over Land
from Water to Water.
It may seem absurd to speak OF
dishes as walking. The flying fish Is

like swimming In the air. We natural
ly think of fishes as living always In
the water, as being incapable, in fact,
Of living anywhere else, Parsons
Weekly says. But nature maintains
no hard-and-fast lines of distinction
between animal life which belongs to
the land and that which belongs to
the water. II we can believe the &C
counts of naturalists, there are fishes
that traverse dry land.
1t is reported that DR.. Francis Day
OF India has collected data of several
Instances OF the migration OF fishes
by land from one piece of water to
another.
A party of English officers were
upon one occasion encamped in GER
tain part OF India when their atten'
ton was attracted by rustling sound
in the grass and leaves. Investiga-
ton showed 1t to be caused by myriads
of little fishes that were passing slow
ly on. There were hundreds of them
moving by using their side and small
fms as feet, now upright, now falling
down, sQuirming, bending, rolling over
regaining their finny feet and again
passing on.
These fishes were the famous climb
ig perch and they were passing over
the country to avoid drought When
the stream in which they had beer
spending the season dries up they
scale the banks and, directed by som'
marvellous instinct, crawl to another.

Canada Claims the Most.

In proportion to population Canada is
building more miles of railroad thar is
the United States. Canada entire
railroad mileage is now $4,000, which
is one mile for every 800 inhabitants, as
compared with one mile to every 3s1 in
habitants in the United States.
In 1867 in all Canada there were just
2,27s miles of railroad tracks. There
have been constructed in 1909 and are
under construction or contract nearly
twice as many miles of track as there
were in Canada in 1868, or 1927 miles.
