HERE TO SEE RIVER.
Engineer Won Schon Will Make Re-
port Thursday Evening.

H. A. Won Schon, the noted hydro
electric engineer of Detroit, Mich. will
arrive in Topeka this afternoon or to-
morrow and after having spent two
days with competent engineers investi-
eating the possibility of Harvesting the
Kaw with view to furnishing electro
cal power for factories, will speak at
a o'clock Thursday evening dinner
at the Commercial club ON Hydro
Electric Power for Topeka
IF we can get 10000 horsepower by
Harvesting the river said Secretary
George S. Badders this afternoon, "tt
would mean the making of the city-it
would be the biggest thing that ever
happened to this town.
The dinner will not be confined to the
membership of the Commercial club or
it's affiliated organizations, but anyone
interested in the progress of the city
is invited to attend the meeting. 1t
will be an informal affair. as the men
from their places of business.
The idea of utilizing the water
power of the Kansas river is not a new
one, but up to this time no definite
plan has been drawn up by experts.
''The plan" said N. B. Burge, who has
been particularly inter ested in the pro-
ject. would be to take out the bend in
the river. which would give greater
fall. In that case there would be no
North Topeka-that is there would be
no river separating the SSCllOIiS VI Tie
city, and the present riverbed could be
used for factory sites which could be
given to new firms coming to Topeka.
OF course, we would have to get
special act by congress to allow US to
go ahead with the work, and we might
in that connection be able to get a spec
ial appropriation as we would be i'm
proving the waterway. OF course
among other things it would solve the
flood proposition in North Topeka.
My idea would be to have the county
and city vote bonds-that is if Mr.. Won
Schon assures us that we can get TO-
600 horsepower. It would then be I'M
der municipal control. and cheap pow
er could be offered to manufacturers
This would also give us great deal
lower water rate, as the pumping
would be done by electric power.
IF we should interest capitalists in
establishing the plant they would nat
urally want to make all they possibly
could out of it. -Four per cent, 50-year
bonds could be issued and a sinking
fund be provided which would pay off
the bonds in 80 years.
''Ten thousand horsepower would give
Topeka population of 100000 in ten
years. Nearly everything we eat and
wear is shipped across the country in
raw state and then shipped back again.
If we had cheap power the eastern
factories would establish branch houses
in Topeka. At the present time there
are not more than $500 horsepower
used in Topeka"

But weather Was Too Uncertain for

There is no baseball game at the
Kaw park today. Neither the Red Sox
players nor the kaw players are peeV-
ed about it and perhaps the fans who

if the weather clerk does not mend
his ways, he is in for 80 round go
with Manager Moore.
Good natured and optimistic Fred
Moore never croaks over disappoint-
ment, but wet grounds and second di-
vision weather readings are enough to
drive Andrew Carnegie to war. Major
league exhibitions are calculated to
bring in a little change to pay the
training expenses besides giving the
players a workout and this is the
second series which has bumped into
a cargo of impossible weather.
The White Sox and the Red SoX
were the only big leaguers available
for the Kaw preseason schedule. To
have them both ruined is not cheer
full.
But the Red Sox will stay over I'M
til tomorrow and likely Old Sol will re-
port in time to fix up the grounds and
the temperatures.

SALEM NEGLECTING A TRADE
THAT'S KNOCKING AT HER DOOR

How many Of Salem's business men
have visited Falls City, Black Rock,
and the territory made tributary to
Salem by the opening of the Salem
Falls City & Western Railway COM
pany since the road was completed?
How many Of them have made any
attempt whatever to get acquainted
with the people of that vast and rich
section?
The answer will not be far wrong
If put in these words: Exactly as
many as were compelled to visit that
section throug business or other
reasons.
This is wrong-wrong in great big
capital latters More than that, from
a business standpoint it is criminal
carelessness. There is a great big
section of practically virgin territory
over in Polk county There is a
magnificent timber belt being opened
up and its crop maturing for hun
dreds of years, Is now heavy for the
harvest.
There is a great body of exceeding
ly rich land, none better anywhere;
awaiting clearing and cultivating. A
vast section peculiarly well adapted
to fruit growing which in the not far
distant future will be covered with
wealth producing orchards. There Is

The Salem Falls City & Western

of that section. 1t has brought It in
touch with the world and, while II
has done this, of course for the
money there is in It, It cannot pros
per and thrive unless the busy thou
sands along Its line also prosper. 1t
has put its money into the road con-
fident of getting profitable returns
and all 1t asks Salem and others who
are benefited by the building of the
road is to visit the country 1t has
opened up, and take advantage Of the
opportunities 1t has created.
The trip Is delightful, and there
is no more pleasant picnic grounds
on the coast than around Black Rock
and Falls City.
The management has adopted lib
eral policy, and has made especial
Sunday rates to induce Salemltes to
go over the line, get acquainted with
the Polk county folks, learn some
thing of the rich country around
them, and increase the friendly, so
cial, and trade relations with that
section. Don't put 1t off, but make
the trip with your family at the very
first opportunity and you will surely
not regret 1t,
