BAKER READY FOR FOOTBALL
Many of last Years Men to Report
September ii.

Baldwin Kan, Sept. Coach L. D.
Scherer, of the Baker university team,
has issued his call for football practice
September Il and he expects to have
most of his old men on the field at
that time. Scherer has been in summer
school work at Lake Forest, Ill, this
summer and just returned from that
place yesterday While he will have
only three of his last years 4'B'' men
on the squad this year he is confident
that with his last years subs and the
new men who have signified their in
tention of entering this fall he Will be
able to put out. q strong team Thc
sfR'' men who will be on the field this
fall are: Captain Dalton, half back;
Braden, left tackle; Capps, left end All
of these men have played on the team
two years. The last year subs who
stand a good show of making the team
are: Red Wheeler, center; McIllrath
and Mcmillan. guards; Beatty, end;
Moore Laury, VanGundie and Bob
Evans in the back field. Several of the
new men are high school football stars
and it is likely that a number of them
will fill important places on the team.
Baker has a heavy schedule this fall,
PLAYING Kansas university, Kansas
State Agricultural college, Denver uni
versity, Washburn college, Ottawa uni
versity, Fairmount and Campbell. The
first game of the season, which was
scheduled to be played at Holton the
last of September, viii likely be played
at Baldwin September 25. as that is
one of the days Of the inaugural exer-
cises of the new president of Baker
university and there will be many old
Baker students in town who will want
to see an intercollegiate football game.
Coach Scherer expects to work the
kicking department to the limit thiJ
year and he has one of the best kickers
inS the state in Dalton, who handled
this department last year. Most of the
football men have been doing hard
work this summer and are already in
good shape for the seasons opening.

a VELVET RIGHT OF WAY.
Railway Gardeners Association Docs
Not Believe in Rubbish Heaps.

At the recent meeting of the Rail-
way Gardeners association, held in
Chicago in August, it was decided that
more can be done to make the right
of way attractive at the station by con-
verting all the unused grounds around
the stations into flower gardens One
of the members in attendance, r. w.
Hutchinson, gardener of the Pennsyl-
vania, presented a paper on the
"Gardener's Jurisdiction: How Far
Beyond the Park Fence Should 1t Ex-
Itend?" He believes that the railroad
gardener should have jurisdiction
wherever it is needed to beautify the
company's property. In so many words
he said it should extend beyond the
park fence to vacant lots in the vicin-
ity which are dumping grounds for tin
cans, ashes and rubbish and which
might be transformed into green, vel
vety banks, thus increasing the value
of the company's property" We be-
lieve there is a splendid field for these
men in working along the lines sug-
gested by Mr.. Hutchinson, the field
being limited by the extent of the
company's property and the amount
the company wishes to spend in this
direction Attractive grounds along a
railroad are like attractive scenery, al
ways a good advertising proposition.

convenient distribution of all cases
which involve a construction of the

LEHIGH CASE CITED

Washington, Sept 7-There is great
anxiety among railroad officials since
the recent wreck on the Lehigh Valley
road, IN which so many persons were
Killed or injured, lest defects be found
IN the rails purchased by them from
the same steel company about the time
the Leh1gh Valley bought the defective
ralI which caused the disaster
The name of the steel company
which furnished the defective rail to
the Lehigh Valley road is known to the
experts of the interstate commerce com
mission who made investigation of the
causes which led UP to the wreck. Off
clals of other railroads who purchased
rails OF this company have been warn
ed to make a careful examination, with
a view to determining whether any of
the rails laid by them contain defects
which do not appear from the usual
inspection.
The possibility that defective rails
may have been laid on other roads, the
officials OF which had no ground what
ever for even a remote suspicion, has
caused grave concern. The names of
the roads which purchased rails about
the same time the Lehigh Valley pro-
cured the defective one without know
ing are guarded by the commission,
who do not desire to be placed in the
position of creating undue alarm among
the travelling public. At the same time
the commission is insisting upon action
by the railroads.

RIO GRANDE ANNUAL REPORT.
Western Pacific of Gould System Has
Cost $73. 900. 900.

President E. T. Jeffery of the Denver
& Rio Grande has issued the annual
report covering operations for the fiscal
year ended June 80. The income for
the year, including. 81, 81, 26 inter
est, dividends and other receipts, was
$25,213, ,577.63, an increase of 4,2S5. %, as
compared with the previous year, ex-
Guiding in both years the interest on
Western Pacific second mortgage bonds
owned by the company. The gross reVe-
nue. from operation was $23, 391, III. 81,
being $171665. So less than that of the
previous year; the operating expenses
were SIS, 737 .05, being an increase of
$155,7S2.72; and the net revenue WAS
81, ,434, ,934.32. g. decrease of 1927, ,44s. 81.
The percentage of decrease in gross
revenue was -73 per cent; increase in
expenses SO per cent, and decrease in
net operating revenue, 4.22 per cent.
After providing for taxes and all
charges against income, including one
semiannual dividend of 21a per cent
upon the preferred capital stock, and
contributing S120 900 to the renewal
fund, there remained a balance from the
years operation of $1.11S, 54S.78 which
was carried to the credit Of profit and
loss.
The Western Pacific has expended
$73, ,027, ,955.57 to June so, 1911. This does
not include accrued interest on second
mortgage bonds owned by the Denver
company. In accordance with it's con-
tract obligations the Denver & Rio
Gfande company advanced u western
Pacific company during the year ST.
$50, ,139. .66, IF which 81, 1,24S,125 was for
bond interest and S402,014.66 to meet
deficiency in construction requirements.
This extension of the Denver Il Rio
Grande system to the Pacific coast is
well constructed, is in good condition
and is balIaSted throughout it's entire
length, and with its low grades and
coed alignment can handle all classes
of traffic promptly and efficiently. It's
trackage facilities are ample for the
traffic at command, and are suscepti-
BILE of enlargement as occasion requires;
that is, the area of terminal property
owned by the company is quite sUfff
ofenf to permit large additions to op-
Grating facilities when NECESSARY.
