SPECIAL TRAIN $3.50 A MILE.
Rock Island Helps an Evangelist to
Fulfill Date.

Wichita, Kan, Oct. 22-The laws Of
Kansas distinctly specify that railway
fares shall be no more than 2 cents
per mile for passenger travel In spite
of this law the Rock Island Tuesday
charged a man $3.50 per mile for a ride.
However, this expensive trip was made
on a special train and railways are per-
mitted to charge whatever they please
for such train service.
The man who made this expensive
trip was H. S. Herring Of Concord, N
H. Mr.. Herring is a Christian Science
lecturer whose services are in great de-
mand. He was scheduled to speak in
Enid Tuesday night and had before him
a long trip from lola to Enid.
The shortest way to make this trip
is over the Missouri Pacific to Wich-
tia and by the Rock Island to Enid.
The Missouri Pacific train from lola
was due in Wichita at 1:35 but 1t did
not arrive yesterday until 3:45. This
was Is minutes after the regular Rock
Island train had left for the south.
Anticipating such circumstance Mr..
Herring wired to the Rock Island here
to prepare a special train to take him
to Enid. Twenty minutes after his ar
rival on the Missouri Pacific Mr.. Her
ring was speeding southwark on the
Rock Island in a special train that was
costing him $3.50 per mile. Although
plans had been made to run the spec
ial to Enid it overlook the regular train
at Caldwell, so miles south of Wichita.
Here Mr.. Herring abandoned his spec
ial and continued on the regular train,
which made the ride cost him only SIS.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 22.-More
than Y million bushels of Irish pota-
toes, representing the 1910 yield on
3,309 acres along the Kaw valley be-
tween Kansas City and Topeka have

erage yield is reported at sixty-five to
seventy bushels to the acre, and the
price for which they were sold is said
to have averaged about seventy cents a
bushel, or a return of $45 to $50 for
each acre.
The potato acreage is a little less
than that of last year, and the market
ing also is slightly below the 1909 fig
ures on account of the wet spring sea
son. But the Kaw Valley growers are
not complaining. The reports of the
larger growers to H. G. Kali, assistant
general freight agent of the Union Pa
cific, show the acreage at different
points on that line as follows:

$26, 900 profit on 5000 head of cattle. Fair

he had here in the Lockhart pastures.
Mr.. Rhea shipped the last of his 5000
head last Wednesday that he brought
in last spring. The cattle were in fine
condition, fat as butter. and reached
the market at the right time. This was
the best year Mr.. Rhea has ever had,
considering the number of cattle han
died.
The last of 1000 head pastured by
John Waugh, Crow Shumate and John
Peters was shipped this week, also.
Nearly all of the holdings of this trio
was sent to the st. Joseph market. John

this week, too, and this paper is in
formed that the pastures now are about
clear of the grass cattle. The stockmen
are making plans to go south in short
time to look over the stock for next
years pasturing and get options on
them.
