THE following dispatch to the st.
Louis Republic from Washington Cit
explains Itself; Report came to
Washington from New York to-
night that John w, Clifton of Ten
nesse, after opening up Champ
Clark's presidential headquarters In
the Waldrof Hotel two weeks ago.
had closed them up to-day, announc-
ing Clark out Of the presidential
race. Wallace Bassford, private
secretary of Speaker Clark, de-
nounced both ends of the report to-
night. Clifton didn't open any
headquarters" said Bassford, "and
hence didn't close any headquarters.
What Clifton did was to go over to
New York and hire a room for a
day, Being a good friend of the
Speakers, he talked Clark very en-
Enthusiastically around the lobbies. TIL
next day he paid his bill and left.
Somebody with a good imagination
spread the rumor that Clifton had
opened headquarters, and then made
the story good by saying he closed
headquarters Anyhow, no one is
authorized to open any Clark head
quarters, for Clark isn't a candidate
for President" Clifton was priv9te
secretary OF the late Senator Car
mack. He has been active for
months in the effort to create SEN
timent for Clark for the Democratic
nomination"

JUDGE Bolts GIVES OUT
STATEMENT ON PROPOSED
SALE OF THE SOUTH END

In an interview Tuesday morning.
Judge w. w. Botts. OF the Board of
Directors Of the Mexico. santa Fe
& Perry Traction Company, explains
the situation Of his Company. and
the reasons for trying to dispose of
the south end.
Regarding the situation Judge
Bolts said
I'm view of the fact that therei
has been considerable discussion of
late regarding the proposed sale of
the south end of the Electric Rail
road, 1t is proper that state
ment Of the attitude of the Traction
Company on that subject be stated
briefly;
About three years ago. in order
to strengthen our enterprise with fl
nanciers, we undertook to extend our
line to Columbia and Fulton. We had
hardly gotten started until we found
that there was rival enterprise
backed by some strong influences at
Columbia, The rival enterprise was
prospecting line from Columbia to
Mexico and to Jefferson city. The
same influences that kept Columbia
from coming to our assistance in
the earlier stages OF the contest,
last year gathered around the allur
ing prospect Of a line from st.
Louis to Kansas City and defeated
our effort forget aid from Columbia.
Now the same men and influences
backed by strong men in st, Louis
and East st. Louis and apparently
by the financial hackers of the Nc
kinley system have revived the
Jefferson City. Columbia and Mexico
prospect and seem to be in a posi-
ton to build the line.
"The project to connect the State
capital, the State University and the
three leading railroads of North
Missouri at Mexico seems to appeal
| 70 IludHCl%fS, dilu III OiutI W SSl Iiu
of our rivalry in the field from here
to Columbia, they are willing to pay
us back what we have expended
south of the line of the railroads
running through Mexico,
with this situation confronting
there is one of two things to do;
Either sell out to them, use the
money for clearing off the debts
Of the Company and then extend
north; or build on to Hereford and
force Columbia into Line. We are
unable to do the latter without the
outside help. Capitalists refuse to
enter into that kind of contest
Hence our only show is to get
help locally. Our company stands
ready to give people, who would like
40 come In, handsome Inducements
to do So We offer them all the help
and security that the Company can
give. If We cannot get this local
help we will have to SELL on the
whole thing will eventually be sold
under the hammer, to pay the debts
and probably everybody lose every
thing they have put into the enter
prise"

tances to their present position, foI
no rock beds of the same kind are
to be found near this region,
In places in the glacial clay there
are also found ebert and limestone
These are less rounded
than the foreign boulders and have
evidently been carried from the beds
of the same materiA found in this
region, Some OF the limestone frag-
ments have long scratches across
their surfaces which were probably
caused by the movement Of the ice
in which they were bedded.
Above that portion of the glacial
which contains the sand,
gravel, and boulders is a layer of
yellowish and NOTED silty clay
entirely free from such material. TIL
Isllty clay layer extends almost to
the surface, but on the uplands
which have not been eroded is over
lain by a thin layer of silt which
constitutes the principal agricultural
soil of the county.

Geology.

The geology Of this region is sim
pie and easily understood.
In the central and north central
part of the county along the steep
slopes bordering the valleys of Salt
River Littleby and Young's Greeks,
rocks outcrop, The lowest of these
rocks consist oil alternating beds of
black shale and thin layers Of lime
stone without ebert or flint Above
these shale ard thin limestone layers
is bed of thicker limestone which
contains ebert nodules and in place
thin layers Of ebert.
These beds belong to the Coal
Measure formations and extend
over the entire county, being covered
by more recen+'v deposited material
except where exposed along these
streams.
During glacial times sheet OF
silt and clay, with some sand, gravel
and foreign boulders, was spread en-,
tirely over this area by the Ice
sheet which covered it and by the
waters which flowed out from the
edge of this sheet as It retreated
northward.
| The thickness of this deposit va
ries from about seventy feet in its
thickest part to only few fee
where it has been eroded along the
edges to the streams,
That portion of this glacial mate
rial which rests upon the underlying
rocks is seen only along the slopei
of streams which have cut away th'
upper portions. Where exposed
consists of clay through which i
distributed coarse sharp sand, gray
ell, and small well-rounded boulders
These boulders are usually nc
larger than a croquet ball, althoug
sometimes larger ones called "negr
heads" are found, They must hay
been transported considerable dii
