A YEAR OF BUMPER CROPS.

MAJ ARKET estimates of the countrys chief agricultural prod
AVN ucts have a cheerful sound. Wheat fifteen cents and
corn twelve cents under April prices reflect the promise
of bumper crops. Last years corn production was 2y53O OOO 1000
bushels; this years is likely TO reach $1,000 100000. Wheat is
figured at 700,0O0,O00, against 621 1876, 900 in 1911. The Weld of
potatoes is expected to go 5O,00O,O00 bushels over last years crop
of 292, 737, 900, and hay to exceed by 100000 tons the 1911
output of 47444,O00 tons. All these factors ought TO operate
for a substantial reduction in the cost of living. We shall see

TRIPLE SESSIONS IN HIGH SCHOOLS.

NV EW YORK is to try an educational experiment that New.
AM ark and other cities will do well to watch and profit by
if it works well. The plan calls for three sessions daily
in the high schools, two in the daytime and one in the evening.
This looks like common-sense. We build expensive schools and
use them six hours out of the twentyfour. The rest of the time
they stand idle. Then when they become overcrowded we build
more schools, to be occupied, likewise, one-quarter of the time.
Which is neither economical nor sensible.

BETTER USE OF THE MULBERRY ST. LINE.

I'D at the Front street bend and extending the line to Il aw-

improve traffic conditions north and south. Mulberry street
can be made the outlet for much of the travel from the northern
section of the city. AS it is, the line is little used. With its
northern terminus at the Erie station, access to it is inconvenient
and travel is thrown upon the cars on BeIleyile avenue. The
characteraof the cars on the Mulberry street line also repels

with the ground frozen more deeply
than the oldest inhabitant remem-
bers," has occasioned untold trouble in
railway operation. Rails have broken
as never before. On twenty miles of
track of one of the western systems
over 200 rails broke in one month.
The wonder is that there have been
so few disasters to trains resulting
from these breakages.
In all fairness it ought to be said
that not all rail breakages are due to
defects in rails. On one transcon-
tinental system there is record of
253 rails removed from track on ac-
count of injuries received from six
broken locomotive tires. On the Santa
Fe recently one broken locomotive tire
broke or disabled 1877 rails so that
they had to be removed from the
track. The winter has been a severe
one on tires and their failures have
been exceedingly numerous.
The adjourned conference between
the railmakers and the committee of
the American Railway association is
to be held in New York next week,
while the American Railway Engineer
ing association is in session in Chi
! cago. Some progress is sure to be
made and it is hoped the cooperation
between makers and users will con-
tinue and will give better results than
| the discussion has heretofore.

did not know that their new route

the Kansas territorial railroad conVen-

The object of the convention was to
memoriaiize congress regarding the
reed of the young and growing Kan :.
sas for railroad facilities, the territorJ
being on the eve of statehood. Edmond
q. Ross, then editor of the Topeka
Record. suggested the convention plan

The convention attracted a great
deal of attention as the people felt that
the future prosperity of the common
wealth depended upon their ability to
get some railroad building started
west of the Missouri river. The
convention endorsed several railroad
propositions offered by darging spirits
of the time, among them, the project
TO build a line from Atchison west and
southwest. This scheme was fathered
by Colonel Holiday, L. o, Challis OF
Atchison and others who afterwards
organized and built the first line of tho
adopted a resolution expressing conf
dence in the Holliday-Challis project,
and urged that the line be construct
ed from AtchisOn to Santa Fe, n. NJ.
The suggestion of the convention
was that the line to Santa Fe follow
the old wagon train trail as nearly as
possible to Fort Dodge, thence to the
southwest corner of Kansas. A map,
showing just what the convention
wanted, was prepared by General
Stringfellow of Atchison and submit
ted to congress with the memorial.
The map, with the present county
lines added. show that the convention
delegates of 1850 had the same route il
mind for southwestern Kansas that

way company finally selected for the
Dodge City-Colmer cutoff in 1912
The Santa Fe did not follow the sug-
gestion of the pioneers in reaching
New Mexico capital but built west

The plan to build from Dodge City
through southwestern Kansas to Col
mer, n. NJ, is of recent date.
