New Rifles for Navy.

WASHINGTON, August 2S.-Prepa-
rations are being made by the navy
department for the issue of the new
Springfield rifle to the sailors and ma
rInes.
When the battleships visit their home
yards the next time it is expected that
the Krag- Jorgensen rifles will be re-
placed by the new Sringfelds. While
the fleet was at Newport last week $500
Krag- .Iorgensen rifles were taken off
battIeships and turned over to the train,
ing station.
It is planned to issue the new rifles
to the marines about the same time
that the sailors are equipped with them.
In order to avoid keeping two kinds
of ammunition en- the same ship it viii
be necessary to equip the marines and
the sailors with rifles of the same type.
John Bull Agrees.
LONDON, September 6.-The propo-
sal to fortify the Panama Canal, as put
forward in a recent speech by Colonel
Roosevelt, is still the subject of discus
sion in the newspapers.
The Times today says there is no
question that Great Britain viii wish in
this, as in all other international affairs,
to see it eve to eye with the United
States. The other powers, however,
might argue that the guaranteeing of
neutrality should not be in the care
of a single power.
"In the event of disagreement, -
the Times saws. ''there can not be a
doubt that America would welcome sub
mission of the question to an inter

NO PAVING FOR BUCKEYE.
Property Owners Have Big Majority
ON the Protest.

1t is a cinch that Buckeye avenue
will not be paved-not now. The
residents are circulating a petition
in protest against the councils order
and 1t is reported that 80 per cent
of the residents have already signed
1t with others on the waiting list.
The people do not SO much object
to paving as they do to having 1t
forced upon them before they are
ready for it. They declare that when
they want to pave they viii ask the
council to order it and until then
they do not want it done. The street
is one of the worst in town because
of the constant washing in heavy
rains and there must be something
done with it-but it will not be
paved at this time.

WHAT ABOUT THE wHEAT2
Millers Of Central Kansas Do Not
Agree on Outlook.

The millers of Kansas, although
they are usually inclined to feel OPP
timlstic concerning wheat and general
crop conditions in spite Of continued
drought, do not all agree in their
estimates as to what the fall wheat
is going to do.
The Logan brothers grain company
Of Kansas City, a few days ago sent
out letters to Kansas millers asking
their views on the wheat conditions.
These opinions were printed in the
Kansas City Star, and it is a notice
able fact that the millers do not
agree at all in their forecasts. Fol-
lowing is the information sent to
Kansas City from the Dickinson mills
ers:
Abilene Milling Company-Seven-
tylfive per cent of the wheat is IN ex-
cellent condition, balance Is about
half stand.
Enterprise. Hoffman G son-We
do not consider the situation alarm
ing. Think five per cent would cover
all drought damage to date. Some OF
the wheat has not terminated, but
It will come out all right II we get
rain soon. Jt..
The majority of Kansas millers
however, have optimistic views and
their statements show that at least
rs per cent of Kansas wheat is in
good condition. Following is what
other millers have written, and the
snow Monday night encourages bet
ter estimates in most sections of the
state:
Salina: ShelIabarger Mill & Ele-
vator company-The condition OF the
winter wheat in this section and west
to the Colorado line is anything but
good We do not think our territory
can possibly produce SO per cent OF
an average crop, even with the most
favorable weather.
Concordia Milling oompany-Do
not believe there has been any extern
sive damage yet, but with hard freez-
ing weather before we get moisture
large areas might be winter killed, as
top Of ground is very dry.
Hutchinson: Larabee Milling COM
pany-We cannot see that wheat has
been materially hurt from lack Of
moisture.
Anthony: Cramer Milling Gem
pany-Have had no rain since Aug
ust 9. Wheat is not making any
showing at all through this section OF
the country.
