minor changcss
A provision may be inserted before

mayor opposed this. for he said that

better Il would be for business.
A Suit Threatened.
The traction company at first was
inclined not to listen to the board of
works. when II demanded that the
freight car tracks be taken from Glen
Miller park, but after adamage suit
had been threatened the company
agreed to prepare franchise by
which II would remove its track from
the park. After approval by the board

to council for consideration in the
form OF an ordinance.
The original contract between the
city and company was approved by
the Republican council. June Is. 1905,
during the Schillinger administration.
This contract gave the company the
right to run its track through Glen
Miller park. Some time after this an

Won SCH0N TO TALK.
Will Tell of Investigations Along the
Kaw.

H. Won Schon, the famous hydro
electric engineer of Detroit, Mich,
who is considered one of the greatest
men in his line in the country. will
speak this evening at the Commercial
club on 'Hydro-E Electric Power for To-
peka," illustrating his address with
lantern slides.
Mr.. Won Schon would not make
public the conclusions which he has
made from the inspection of the Kaw
in the vicinity of Topeka yesterday
and his study today of certain figures
in the possession of County Engineer
V. r. Parkhurst and others.
If We can find $4,000 feet of water
and a ten foot fall.' said the expert,
the market in Topeka If this is ac-
complished Topeka has possibilities
which are inestimable.
THE Kaw river has drainage area
of about $1,000 square miles. 1t takes
10 feet OF water in a one-foot fall to
develop one electric horsepower for
the market.
This evening I will tell of some of
the typical modern hydro-e electric
works. Hydro-electricaI engineering
has changed vastly in the last ten
years, and the "a lantern slides which
I expect to use in illustrating my re-
marks will doubtless prove of inter-
est to the business men of the CITY,"
Today Mr.. Won Schon made trip
to the old dam above the waterworl<s,
or the place where the dam once ex-
listed. He was guest at the CONNER
cial club this noon.
Ten years ago Major T. J. Anderson
made arrangements to have Mr. Won
! Schon come to Topeka to inspect the
| Kaw for the Same purpose. Major
Anderson Isl still confident that the
power ia here if we only use it.
The officials of the Commercial club
believe that if the report of the ex-
i pert engineer is favorable it will mean
the making of Topeka industrially.
The State Journal received the fol-
| lowing letter today:
GaIena. kan, April 5. 1911.
| To the Editor of the State Journal:
In your paper of yesterday notice
that you are talking of damming the

that il ten thousand horsepower can

which ever happened to Topeka.

news I will state that the Empire
