Western Union Notified TO Get Busy
and Remove Poles.

For the second and last time the
board of city commissioners will warn
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany against their poles on Kansas
avenue. If this company does not
have all its poles down and it's wires
underground before January I, 1912
the city commissioners win arm
themselves with axes and take down
the poles in a municipal way"
Z The telegraph was com pany noti-
fled to remove their poles and wires
last July. They were given thirty
days to do it. The thirty dav limit
elapsed in August Following a plea
from the company tbs CITY extended
the limit another thirty days. Now
it has been nearly ninety days and the
city will grant sixty days more.
1t was hoped at one time that the
poles could be removed before the
great white way was completed. But
the Western Union company said this
with impossible and The city believed
them. But an ultimate order now
has been given.

BILLIARD SAYS: NEVER. 3"
No More BaIIoonins From City Parks
Declares Che Mayor.

After reading interviews. editorials
and news stories about the action of
the city commissioners IN barring the
balloon flights from Westiawn park
Mayor Billiard has decided that some
ono must sacrifice himself that the
good name OF the adm inis.ration may
be protected.
We have been the subject of crit
icism SO long that I believe il is time
for an explanation" said the mayor
too much responsibility OF he balloon
order has been placed on the board of
city commissioners. The commission
ers have favored the Western Aero as
ISOLATION in every way possible. We
have done everything We could to en-
courage ballooning from the fist day
the park was used
We gave this order against the
use of the park"partly for the bene-
fit OF the association. Residents and
property owners living near the park
came with their attorneys before the
board of commissioners and demanded
that we stop the flights at Westlawn.
II we had refused 10 make this order
they would have taken the matter
to the courts and asked for an injunc-
ton.
I'VE had to respect the rights Of
these people who had paid for the
park. and we saved them the expense
and the trouble of an injunction and
a possible lawsuit against the city.
Balooning is not a legitimate use of
the city parks.
I took up the matter with our fire
marshal and he in turn wrote to sew
eral marshals over the country. He
received d reply from the fire chief Of
Kansas City, who admitted that bal
looming in a city park was accom-
panied with more or less danger. In
Kansas City, he said. the grounds were
halt mile away from any residence
section.
I believe there are a number of
available places in Topeka for balloon
flights. I will be willing to do all l
can to assist the Western Aero assoc
citation in locating a suitable ground
I realize their value to the CITY and
l am interested personally III their
flights.
But as far as making flights from

strange Bearded Eslimos.

Whatever may be- said against it,
there is certainly something very fas-
cinating about the theory advanced by
MIR. Stefansson, arctic, explorer for the
American Museum Of Natural History.
that the fair-haired, beard-wearing Es-
kimos he recently saw in Victoria
Land are descendants of the survivors
of Sir John Franklin's lost party.
Franklin's two ships, the Erebus and
Terror, were shut in by ice in the fall
of 1876, twelve miles north of King
Williams Land. Here the party re-
manned all winter, and here, in June,
1917, Sir John died. Another year
passed, and Captain Crozier, now in
command, seeing no immediate pros
pect of getting out with the ships. de-
serted them with -~' 105 men. They
started southwark shoping to reach
some outpost of the Hudson Bay Com
pany or some shelter established by Sir
John on previous expeditions to the
arctic shores. Not one of these men is
known to have escaped, and, though
80 rescue parties in all were sent out
to find them, not nearly enough evil
dences We're found to account for the
deaths of all of them.
It is very pleasant to think that all
of these gallant men did. not perish

accident has put him off the schedule
of surgical curiosities.
About a year ago Townsend broke
his right leg. The bone was so badly
smashed that the surgeon decided to
re place it with a bone from the front
leg of a lamb. The lad left the hos
pital without even a limp.
Now a blow from a club in a game
of Shiny has shattered the borrow
ed bone. The doctors agreed that
second attempt at the difficult opera
ton of bone grating would be useless.
So the leg has been amputated.-Chi-
