According to Vice President W. E.

thorough inspection of the ranch, the
trees are to be planted this year
The ties for 1900 miles of track
of the Santa Fe system are supplied
by the purchasing department of which
Mr. Hodges is the head. and although
extensive contracts have been let for
foreign ties the vice presidents hopes
for the future are based in the com
pany's experiment in forestry at the
San DegultO ranch. The trees planted
three years ago have attained astonish-
ing growth. it is said and Mr. Hodges
expects that within a few more years
they will be ready to cut for ties
From Mexico. Hawaii and Japan
the Santa Fe is receiving millions of
ties at the present time, the contracts
which the company has let for ties

SANTA FE BUYS NEW CARS.
But Railroad Buying Over Country Is
Unusually Slow.

Chicago, Oct. 3.-Railroads are do
ing very little buying, and say that
they will not be in the market for
equipment for some time to come
They are well supplied with what they
have in hand and already ordered, the
greater part of which is in process of
manufacture. The Santa Fe has re-
Gently bought 1000 steel underframe
refrigerator cars. Western railroads
have bought $1,000 tons of steel rails
Plate and structural orders are light
Business in pig iron aggregated 90
600 tons, but inquiries toward the last

here has been the disposition among
furnace men to contract for 1911 de-
livery, but so far little business Of
this character has been closed.
There is uneasiness in the steel
trade, and independents are cutting
prices. 1t is said that the leading steel
interest is doing some shading, but the
disposition of the latter is not to re-
duce prices until absolutely necessary,
and to permit the Independents to fill
up with small orders at low prices and
then take the large ones at its own
figures.

His Own AppOintee, Kansas
Judge, Rebukes Governor.
Bars State Legal Department
in His Court.
THREATS OFBRANDING
Two Other judiciary Membres
Reply to Executive.
Incidents Are Taken in State as
a "DOgtaIl."

Columbus, Kan, Oct. 3.-Governor
Stubs OF Kansas has met his first
Waterloo. A judge of the district
court by his own appointment has in
formed the governor through the at
torney general that the head of the
states legal department has no rights
in his court. 1t all came about through
the visit of an assistant attorney gen.
eral here, who appeared to take
charge of the prosecution of violators
of the prohibitory LIQUOR law
A few weeks ago Judge Mcneil of
the district court here resigned. Gov
ernor Stubs appointed as his success
sor Judge Bulger, who was nominated
by the Republicans for that office at
the August primaries. The action TAX
en- by Judge Bulger is likely to be-
come an epidemic over the state, and
other district judges may join in the
crusade, which will cut off and de-
plete the fees that have been flow
ing into the office of the attorney gen.
eraI through his assistants.
Every day Judge Bulger is expect
with a command to permit the at
torney general or his assistants to try
the joint cases before his court. But
Judge Bulger is firm and declares
that it is the business of the county
attorney to try these cases, and that
eral Jackson and his assistants have
returned to Topeka to take up the
work of the states legal department,
Attorney General Jackson holds
that his department has the legal
right to prosecute liquor Violators in
dependently of county attorneys, and
he says he will be doing it in Judge
Buyers court just as soon as he can
obtain action from the supreme court
of the state. Just how the attention
of the supreme court will be called
to the matter has not been deter
mined.
There appears to be good joke
on Governor Stubs in the appoint
ment Of Judge Bulger. Usually the
governor exacts a pledge from a dis
trict judge, in advance of his appoint
ment, that he win lend every aid in
the enforcement of the prohibitory
law. Whether this pledge was ex-
acted OF Bulger is not known, for the
judge will not tell. Governor Stubs
delights to put his branding iron on
recreant public officials, or, rather
officials that he thinks are not per-
forming their full duty.
Some months ago he wrote to two
district Judges that he intended to
brand them publicly If they didn't
tighten up the lid on, the liquor cases
He told them that their conduct was
a disgrace to the bench. and unless
they mended their ways he would ex-
pose them.

GREATEST GUsHER IN WORLD.
Artesian Well Means Remuneration OF
Kansas Land.

Hutchinson. Kan, Oct. 3.-The
greatest artesian well in the Mississip-
pf valley and probably in the world,
has been opened at Rfchf1eId in Nor
ton county, Kansas. 1t is one of the
most wonderful fields any country has
ever known, and is expected to revo-
lutfonize things in southwest Kansas.
The well, brought in nearly three
weeks ago, which showed flow of $50
gallons a minute, soon after, is now
said to bring up HOO gallons a min
ute. Mckinley w. Kreigh, who lives
in Stanton county, near johnson City,
his father, Philip Kreigh, here, that
the flow is that strong. The Richfield
Monitor says that the we'll started at
200 gallons a minute, soon grew to
500. and by Saturday had reached
LOO gallons a minute. The Monitor
says:
Last week, when the water was
first struck, the flow was estimated at
something over 200 gallons per min
ute. The drill had only struck the
artesian flow when the report was pub
lished. Sunday when a second meas
urement was made, it was found to be
running al the rate of 500 gallons, or
nearly three times the original flow
There are continually large chunks
of clay being precipitated to the sur
face by the force of the water, and
thrown out at the top. The well is
being gradually cleaned out by the
pressure of the water, and the flow has
increased until now it is pouring out
at the top of the big 10-inch casing,
HOO gallons of the finest, clearest,
purest of water from distance of $50
feet under the earth.
Taking into consideration the rain
fall of this country and the fact that
water for irrigation purposes is only
needed during a period of the summer
season, it is easy to figure that well
running 100 gallons of water per-
petually. every minute of the time,
would be sufficient to irrigate a section
of land

MARYsvILLE is HARD HIT.
Union Pacific Closes Ballast Plant
200 Men Out of Work.

Marysville. Kan. Oct 3.-The re-
trenchment in railroad expenses which
has been affecting the whole country
has reached Marysville Unless there
is a change in the orders, all work
at the Marysville Ballast Plant will
be suspended after tomorrow.
The road has need for all the bal
last the plant can produce but it is
said that money matters are SO close
that retrenchment of expenses has
been ordered from headquarters and
all improvements will be temporarily
abandoned
The ballast plant here has given
employment to about one hundred peo-
pie at the plant and probably about
an equal number have been employed
in the balIasting and in operating the
extra trains to haul the ballast
The closing down of the plant will
leave about two hundred people to
seek employment elsewhere.

WANTS HARRIS MEMORIAL.
President Waters of X. S. y. c. Would
Have 1t on College Campus.

Manhattan, Kan, Oct. 3.-Henry J.
Waters, president of the Kansas State
Agricultural college, would like to see
the proposed monument or memorial
to Senator William A. Harris erected
on the college campus.
''It would be very appropriate to
have the monument here" President
Waters said. Senator Harris was a
regent of this institution at the time of
his death. He did as much as anyone
in the interest of scientific agriculture
in Kansas.
Another thing, the monument
would be an inspiration for the stu
dents. Every time they saw it they
would be reminded of a great man and
his public service"

Appeared Brighter Than Second
Magnitude Friday,
Expected to Reach Maximum Be-
tween May goth and 30th..

Cambridge, Mass, May 6-When
Halley's comet reappeared in the east
crn sky this morning to delight the
eyes of the Harvard observatory as
tronomers and other local observers.
il was found that while the celestial
visitor had increased to a trifie bright
er tl.an the second magnitude. the ra-
ton of increase since the last obSer-
walton here on Saturday was some
what less than was expected.
Comets are uncertain performers.
Sometimes they fash up in few days
while at other times they fail to come
up to specifications. Nevertheless Hal
ieys comet was an Interesting and
pleasing spectacle in the morning sky
today, and we'll repaid the early riser.
Prot. O. c. Wendell who has been
making careful observations of the
comet at the Harvard observat tory
whenever possible, said today:
"Halleys comet was well observed
here this morning. The sky in the re-
gion of the comet was clear through
out. | made the light of the nucleus,
systematically, as of the 7.06 magni-
tude. The nucleus was sharp and we'll
uellI1eu anu L pStlIudleu Tie lOldl
of the head of the comet to be trifle
brighter than the second magnitude,
and the tail about 10 degrees in
length. The diameter of the comet was
about three minutes of arc"
Leon Campbell estimated the total
light of the comet as a little brighter
than the second magnitude and traced
the tail for a trhe more than 10 de-
grees. A number Of good photographs
were taken Of the comet.
The comet will continue to rise few
minutes earlier each morning for the
next four days. after which it turns
and with Fastening speed, darts across
the suns disc on the 18th, to reappear
in the western sky the last CT the
month.
If it continues to increase in bright
ness, it is expected that it will reach
its maximum between the goth and the
30th of the month, after which it will
gradually fade away.
