LANSING ROAD IS FINISHED.
-Four Mile stretch From LeaVenworth
Was Paved by Prisoners.

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 2s.-The
paving of the state road connecting
Lansing with Leavenworth has been
completed. When the last brick was
laid the twenty prisoners threw down
their tools and gave three cheers. A
basket of mince pies, with the compli-
ments of Senator Vinton Stillings, fur
nished an informal banquet for the
workmen.
The paving of the Lansing road was
the largest piece of work ever under
taken by prisoners. A stretch of road
nearly four miles long and thirty feet
wide in most part, was graded, curbing
and the brick set and grouted by pris-
oners. In addition the prisoners burn
ed both the brick and curbing. This
was all accomplished in about three
years.
With the finishing of this state
driveway Leavenworth has a nine-mile
stretch of paving. commencing with
the Grant monument at Fort Leaven-
worth, down the post driveway through
paved streets of the city south to the
penitentiary gate. The work was push
ed rapidly this last summer by Warden
J. K. Codding, and he is now ready to
proceed with other road making work
south of Lansing.

Work on Santa Fe to Start in
Hutchinson Soon.
Includes New Switch Yards and
Big Round House.
PLAN OTHER CHANGES
Officials Have i'm Mind, Car and
Repair Shops.
Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

Hutchinson. Kan, Nov. 28.-Within a
Few months, probably next spring, work
Will start on the construction of the
new Santa Fe switch yards in East
roundhouse and the establishment OF
car repair shops, coal chutes and other
improvements.
The blue prints have been prepared
for some time by the engineering de-
partment, the recommendation has
been made by Division Superintendent
T1oe, and 1t is understood that the
budget for the coming year provides
for the expenditure of $125.000 in start
ing the Improvement
1T viii take some time to complete
the work." said a Santa F'e official.
But when it is completed Hutchinson
will have switch yards second to none
in the state. have seen the blue
prints, which were prepared several
months ago, and I understand that it
is the intention to start the work III
the spring.
The Santa Fe owns a strip of land
along the north side of it's present
tracks, through the Grand View addi-
ton, and extending as far as the stock
yards.
The new yards will be built on this
strip of land and when completed will
run all the way from the switch lead
ing north to the packing house and
straw board works, west through that
entire part Of the city.
''An the switching is to be done east
of Main street when this new yard is
completed" said an official. "And
trains will be made up in the new
yard. I understand the plan is to build
big roundhouse. It Is already badly
needed. The changes will make Hutch
inson freight division point and bring
a lot more crews here, but a larger
roundhouse is already needed
A depot also will be erected in that
part of the city, and a telegraph sta
ton opened there, from which the
yard business and train orders will be
handled. 1t is the intention to have
an Office building there where will be
located offices of trainmaster, general
yard master, roundhouse foreman, car
foreman and telegraph operators.
The uptown Office, at the freight
depot will have the offices of roadmas-
ters and the freight Offices, as at pres
ent. The tracks west of Main, now
used for switching purposes, will under
the new system be used for storage
purposes by the bridge and building
and construction departments, and
where the roundhouse is now located
will be converted into a general stor-
age yard for the building, bridge, road
and steel gangs

MAY NOT CONSIDER LABOR LAW
Wichitans Probably Will Ignore Ruling
of State Commissioner.

Wichita, Kan, Nov. 2S.-A letter
has been received by Harry W. Stanley.
manager of the chorus of children,
who will participate in the opening of
the new Forum, from w. L. A. John
son, state commissioner of labor, ad-
vising the managers of the Forum that
there is a law prohibiting children
working who are under the age of IA
years. This letter was turned over to
Mayor c. L. Davidson by Mr.. Stanley.
The mayor gave it to the city attorney.
The city attorney has informed the
mayor that the law did not prohibit
children taking part in the exercises
as they are not employed for wages but
perform for the benefit of the city.
They will appear on the stage only
once and then for only two hours.
Their appearance in the opening of the
Forum will not interfere in any way
with their school work and for this
reason the city attorney has held that
the city is not liable under the child
labor law by permitting the children
to perform. The order of the state
ignored and the children allowed to
perform as originally planned.
ct can not see where there is any
difference in the children singing in a
chorus at the opening Of the Forum
and in taking part in exercises at a
church or school house." said Mayor
C. L. Davidson. ct do not believe that
the law is meant to apply in such in
stances as this and for this reason the
program will be carried out as origin
ally planned"
The plan is to have 300 children take
part in the exercises.

FARMERS DON'T KEEP BOOKS.
Few Are Able to Strike Balance and
Tell What Work Nets.

Axtell, Kan, Nov. 2S.-It is a mat
ter of question whether or not many
farmers are able to tell just how much
cash returns they receive from their
farms during any current year as but
few of them keep any account of their
receipts or expenditures to such extent
as to be able to strike a balance with
anything like accuracy.
William Kenward, who lives three
and a half miles south of AxtelI, in the
present year kept account of the prod
ucts of his farm to ascertain just what
his quarter section was yielding him
in the way of crops and the full
amount of cash the crop represented.
From his accounts he finds that the
gross receipts of the farm amounted to
81, 545.75, an average of $3.50 per
acre. The acreage of his crops, togeth-
er with their yield and the price (cur-
rent market price when computation
was made) at which they were placed
when the computation to arrive at the
above mentioned gross receipts was
made, are as follows: Thirty-f1ve
acres of millet yielding LOTS bushels
at 81 per bushel, SLOTS; etghty-four
acres of corn yielding an average of s
bushels at As cents per bushel, 1854;
twenty acres of wheat averaging
Is bushels, at 81 per bushel, 1917;
nine acres of oats yielding 270 bushels
at 80 cents per bushel, SS1; fifty loads
of millet straw, $3.50 per load, SIS; re-
ceiving for pasturing stock, $48.75;
sold stalk field for IS. Total receipts,
$2,545.75.

MEx1CANs KEEP GOING HOME.
Cause May Have Been "COId'' In
stead of Conflict.

Ottawa, Kan, Nov. 2s.-Did half of
a force of nearly 500 Mexican labor
ers employed on the Santa Fe cutoff
in the vicinity of North Ottawa, leave
for Ell Paso, and their native country
upon drawing their months pay, last
week, because of the rigorous climate
here, or were they prompted by pa
triotism to be prepared to participate
in a friction between their republic
and the United States?
The cold climate forces many OF
the foreigners to leave each year, but
never has the emigration been SO ex-
tensive or so early in the season. In
terpreters at North Ottawa suspect the
cold weather movement. The Mex-
cans have said little concerning the
disturbance, they say. This, however,
the interpreters believe is an indica-
ton that they have studied their sit
uatton. In spite of contrary appear
ances they are said to be students of
political affairs. Many Of them take
newspapers from their home country
and keep we'll posted on affairs at
home.

HILL CITY MAN HELD INSANE.
Labored Under Delusion That Effort
Was Made to Kill Him.

Hill City, Kan, Nov. 2S.-Ed Lesher,
a well known character, has been ad-
judged insane and soon will be taken
to a state institution. Lesher is a pc
culiar character, several years ago he
sold his homestead in the county and
coming to town settled down and took
the world easy as long as his money
lasted. He had no vices and spent no
money except to pay board but while
his money lasted he refused to do an
hours work. In 1903 he ran out of
money and went to work at the car
penter trade. He went from here to
CORTLAND with Rev Mr.. Jewett and
worked with him at carpenter work in
the summer, then came back to Hill
City and again took up a life of ease
at one of the hotels.
In the last year he has been liv-
ing at the Farmers hotel, but last
week he became SO badly deranged that
Landlord Irwin was forced to have
him removed from the house. He Ia
bored under a deIusion that different
parties IN town intended to kill him.
that he was chopped with hatchets and
pounded with hammers and that a
large chunk of redhot steel had been
placed in his stomach by one of the
citizens.

TRIO HOLD HUsKING RECORD.
This Team Averages Harvesting of 2SO
Bushels Day.

Manhattan, kan, Nov. 28.-George
T. Fielding & Sons claim to have the
''champeen'' husking trio in the coun-
ty. Last week the three men husked,
weighed and cribbed 1878 bushels of
corn, or an average Of $50 bushels a
day.
Their Individual records are as fol-
lows:
G. w. Tebow took out 166 bushels
in the week, or at the rate of 1O2 %
bushels a day. His biggest day was
Friday when he shucked, weighed and
cribbed Ill bushels in about eight
hours. Fred Wyckon got out 552 bush
els in the week, or an average of 90
bushels a day. And Fred Mankey got
paid for 511 bushels during the week
or an average of IS bushels day.
A phenom, near Atchison, claims to
have cribbed 40 bushels in day
this fall but he was working for a
record and probably picked his field
accordingly. Mr.. Tebow was not work
ing for a record, however, but was
merely trying to turn as many honest
pennies in a day as he could. The
Fieldings pay three cents bushel and
furnish team, wagons, board and rooms.
So Mr.. Tebow is clearing little bet
ter than So a day.

RINGIING OWNS A RAILROAD.
Constructs Line on Fine Estate IL
Montana EaStneSs.

Butte, Mont, Nov 2S.-The fad of
a multimillionaire circus king-no less
a parsonage than John Ringing of
Chicago-has resulted in the expendi-
ture of more than $1,500,000 in the
construction of work on 100000 no
tell and pleasure resort at White Sui
phur Springs, Mont, near the main
line of the Puget Sound extension of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad.
Nineteen miles of standard gauge
railroad will be completed in Deem
Der on the Milwaukee to the settle
ment of White Sulphur Springs, ia
nous in cowboy annals as a rendez-
vous for sheep and cattlemen, from
tiermen and traders for nearly half a
century. G. w. Morrow of Seattle,
general agent of the Milwaukee Land
company, who has just returned from
Montana, tells the story of the meta
morphosis of the traders old camp.
He said:
John Ring1ing's enterprise and
nerve has already started the old-time
Montanans and his projected expen-
dttures in the development of his
hobby, the creation of an ideal health
resort in the western Montana hills in
the most attractive mountain and
game country in the intermountain re-
gion, will probably reach 100000.
I'm order to reach White Sulphur
springs lOCdIeO IN d D6duCl1ul valley
nineteen miles north of Leader, Ring
ling decided not to wait for a railroad
company to open the district, but
awarded q contract for a standard
gauge line of railroad, which will
serve a new and virgin territory.
His system will connect with the
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound
railway and he is sparing no expense
in the construction of G solid roadbed
and in laying heavy steel rails for the
line"

SMALL BOY SHOWS NERVE.
Never Whimpers, Though Leg Is
Broken Day Before Fact Is Known.

Baxter Springs, Kan, Nov. 28.-Earl
Hendry, eight years old, while playing
at school, had the misfortune to break
his left leg, but he did not himself re-
aIize the fact, and neither did his play
mates. After recess the little fellow
was helped back into school, as 1t was
thought he had only suffered slight
sprain.
After school, however, the little fell
low was unable to go home, or even
leave his seat, and his mother was
notified and sent after him. Arriving
at home his sufferings seemed to in
crease and physician was called, who
made an examination and found the
fracture. The little fellow must have
suffered a whole lot between the time
he was hurt and the time the fracture
was reduced, but he never whimpered.
DR.. Boswell reduced the fracture.
