The Fool Talker

The other day in a small town
over in Illinois a rattlebrained
fool started a nasty story about q
certain family in town. 1t was
told several times and finally the
fool himself told the man who ran
the village newspaper, The edi-
tor happened to be inexperienced
in his profession, and a fool to
start with. He printed a squib
with no name mentioned, but it
left little room for doubt as to
who was meant, especially after
the story of the rattlebrained Cos
siper had gained more ground.
The head of the family that was
hit happened to be a man of hasty
temper. Friends told him about
it and he began to brood, and dark
thoughts gathered in his mind.
When the shades of night had
fallen he took a shotgun and post
ed himself near a corner the editor

Sunflower a Weed? Its Up
To The Farmer

That persistent question, is
the sunAower a weed" has finally
been put up to the University OF
Kansas for settlement.
THE farmer is the final arbiter"
says F. H. Billings, professor of
Botany. 1t is he who decides
when a flower becomes a. weed.
No court, nor University, nor
botanist can make the decision,
When q flower hampers the farmer
in his work, or has a pernicious
effect on his crops, it becomes Il
weed.
Thus does the University grace
fully side-step and refer the case
back to the farmer.
The controversy grew out of an
effort of the Kansas City Health
Department to have the sunAowers
on a vacant lot cut down, on the
ground that they were weeds. The
owner, a Kansan, protested and
carried the case to the courts.
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1911-10-13

was to pass on his way home. He
waited like an Apache. Soon the
editor came sauntering along.
There was a flash, a report, and
the editor was in the dust in his
death agonies. There will be a
new number in the penitentarity
when the next session of the dis
tict court there is over. The fool
who started the story is at liberty
in every town there are rattle
brains and -hasty tempers and
shot guns, but, thank goodness,
they don't always mix. Whe
they do, the tradegy of the little
Illinois town is reenacted. -Os-
borne Farmer.

Collecting Evidence

j. G. Mohler, assistant to Sec
rotary Coburn of the State Board
of Agriculture, was visitor here
Saturday. He is out getting first
evidence on the crops and farming
conditions of the southwest, and
very naturally came first to the
capital of the southwest as start
ing. The very important thing
about it all is that Mr.. Mohler
will not be able to devote the
space, which would mean an en-
tire volume of the Biennial re-
port, to an exploitation of the
good things he found down here.
Mr.. Mohler is a very pleasant
young man and is we'll posted on
the agricultural conditions over
the state. He expressed great
surprise at the development OF
the country here. We hope Mr..
Mohler will devote a few minutes
to Tom McNeal when he gets
back to Topeka and set that
knocker on Western Kansas to
rights on a few important points.

Weather Report For Sept.

1t has been the general impress
sion that September of this year
was unusually warm. That this
impression was correct is shown
by the fact that the mean tempera-
ture for the month is 3.S degrees
higher than the average, and has
only been exceeded by that of
1874. The humidity, also was .
per cent higher than the average.
The 9Th with a temperature of 80
degrees was the hottest September
day since 1898, but was far from
the record of 105 degrees in 1882.
The rainfall was markedly higher
than the mean for September, and
this abundance of moisture follow
ing the dry summer has produced
almost the effect of a second
spring upon the vegetation.

Giving Battle To The Army

Calls from eight different places
in Kansas have come to the Uni
versity within the past few days
asking for expert advice in resist
ing the rayages of the army worm
which has just made its appear

calls for vigorous action and the

attacked by the worm, is the
method most highly recommended.

same time benefits the wheat. The

COPPER SPIKE IS

Fabulously Rich Ore

When all was in readiness the

spectators.

spike, in response to suggestion by
Mr.. Hawkins, the assemblage stood
with bowed and uncovered heads in
memory of the late and much below

A Glorious Accomplishment.
The completion of the Copper Riv-
er & Northwestern Railway marks
an important epoch in Alaska's his

undertaken in other parts of the
world, it is doubtful if there has ever

such adverse conditions were encoun-

seldom met with IN other parts of

Wednesday afternoon will ever re-
main memorable occasion in, Alas
ka. 1t records an event that will
have important significance through
out the United States.
At the time recorded the last rail
was driven into place by a copper
spike, that marked the completion
of track laying on the new railway
that runs from the sea port term
linus of Cordova to Kennicott, the end
OF the line as at present projected.
At the interior terminus is To-
Gated the renowned Bonanza copper
mine; 500 feet beyond the big con-
centrator and ore bins, on the noun
tain side opposite one Of the largest
glaciers in the northland, with a
beautiful perspective of snow-coyer-
cd mountain peaks, frozen rivers and

monies were witnessed that records

most gigantic and daring enterprises
known to the commercial world.
The day was most propitious. The

had an inspiring effect on the inter-
ested spectators. A tense and anx-
ious feeling was evidenced until the
last act was performed that declared
the practical completion of the build
ing of the railroad to the end of the
line. And 1t was the obliterating of
frontierism from a hitherto remote
section, bringing rapid communica-
ton and making available all the
comforts of civilization, in the de-
velopment of that vast domain tribu-
tary to the Copper. Chitina, Nixina
and other unnavigable rivers.
All present realized the full i'm
port of the advent of steel rails, in
the awakening of new empire OF
hidden wealth that is destined TO
soon WOO thousands of adventurous
prospectors and operators, who will
produce mineral values in such guam
tity as will startle the world.
Driving of the Copper Spike.
On Monday Chief Engineer and
General Manager E. c. Hawkins left
Cordova for the front, in Supt. Van
Cleve's private dining, sleeping and
observation car. Accompanying him
were J. R. Van Cleve. superintend-
emit, and R. J. Barry. general freight
and passenger agent Of the new rail-
road; e. A. Hegg, photographer; and
Will A. Steel, editor of the Cordova
Daily Alaskan and the Chitina Lead
er. At Chitina the party was Joined
by ]. c. Martin, manager Of the Orr
stage line.
This was the first through train
that had gone over the entire track
age of the new railroad. After
spending the night at camp 146 the
train went ON to Kennicott arriving
Tuesday afternoon within a quarter
of q mile of the end of the line.
Shortly beyond trestle of 256 feet
was being put in. which delayed
track laying until the following
morning. However. the trestle was
completed and trackage laid to the
ore bins and concentration Of the
Bonanza mine before noon Wednes-
day. After lunch the additional 500
feet OF steel was laid and the final
ceremonies occurred at also Wednes-
day afternoon.
