from Palisade.
1t is learned that the continued
long spell of extreme cold weather
at Palisade and throughout Pine
Valley has caused almostRn entire
suspension of building operations
on the Eureka & Palisade Railroad.
The contractors made an effort to
continue the work, anticipating
that the weather would shortly
moderate, but the cold continued
to increase, and after Monday
night, when the thermometer at
Palisade dropped to Is below in
Pine Valley, at Raine's ranch, to
~ below; at Naples ranch, 80
below: and at the Winzell ranch,
at the head of Pine Valley, to q
below, all attempts to keep the
men at work were abandoned. II
is said about all the work the men
in the different construction camps
are now doing is to rustic fuel and
try to keep warm. As the con
tractors received three carloads
of coal the middle of last week, il
can be depended upon that those
within reaching distance or this
fuel will not suffer. The extreme
cold continued Tuesday night,
reports from the above mentioned
points showing only a rise in the
thermometers of from one to two
degrees. 1t is reported to have
moderated considerable on We'd
nesday and Thursday nights, but
vas still too cold to attempt the
resumption of work on the rail-
road.
The ground thrugh Pine Valley
is nov reported to be frozen to a
depth of from two to two and a
half feet. 1t is now thought this
frozen ground will seriously handi-
cap the early pletion Of the
road, for while it will he hard to
dig up, L grade made Of this
frozen material will not stand as
soon as warn, ttawing weather
strikes il, and a large part of the
work will have to be done over.
George Whittell, the present
owner Of the road, whose presence
in PalissGe a been expected for
the last ten days, has not arrived

A WEEK.
Prepared for Our Busy Readers Who

Little Space.
X. U. WANTS SCHOOL TAX.
Permanent Fund Should Be Created
They Say.-Legslature Would
Be Freed From Yearly Fight.

Lawrence, Kan.-To place the state
of Kansas on par with other lead
ing states as far as its treatment OF
higher educational institutions is con-
cerned, students of the State Uni
versity through the Mems Council
have started a campaign for consti-
tutional amendment providing for
permanent income for the mainte-
nance of the University, the Agricul-
tural college and the State Normal
schools.
Students and graduates of ali the
Kansas institutions are expected TO
join in urging the Legislature to pre-
sent the measure for approval to the
people.
A fixed law has already been
adopted by Iowa, Wisconsin, Michl-
gan, Minnesota, Illinois, Nebraska and
many other states who nave been able
to build up great universities with the
permanent fund the system gives.
The arguments advanced by the stu
dents point out that mill tax would
cost but $40 to The individual citizen
who paid taxes on a valuation of $lO-
600: that it would insure normal
growth in the institutions because
plans could be made ahead providing
for such increase; that it would re-
lieve the facilities from criticism re-
sulting from the necessity of lobbying
for the appropriations of their insti-
tutions; that it would makes 1t less
easy for other universities to take
some of the best teachers from Kan
sas. because of the greater perma-
hence of these universities in the mat
ter of income; and that it would put
the maintenance of the University, the
Agricultural college and the State
Normal schools on permanent basis,
removing them from the danger OF
having their revenues curtailed by
caprice or financial depression.
Such plan, say the students, would
relieve the legislator from the re-
sponsibility of the present large total
of appropriations and would give MIN
more time to devote to other ques-
uOnS DeSlue tue uecHdnICdl lhii ilSaNl0s
Of appropriations. By eliminating
competition in the procuring of appro-
priations, it would make toward bet
ter cooperation among the various
schools, and a consequent increase Of
efficiency and value to the state, in
addition to being of great advantage
to the taxpayers because it would in
sure their getting the greatest posi-
bic value for their money, since only
with a fixed and permanent income
can an educational institution do its
best work.

Kidnapping Captured In a

Hutchinson, Kansas.-A search fol
money buried in cornfield near
Mount Hope, Kan, has landed Oscar
Dudley, alleged kidnapper of Mrs
Con Rawlings, in the county Jail. Dud'
ley, who, according to Mrs. Rawlings,
forced her with a shotgun to go to a
cornfeld with him last spring, eluded
the sheriff's posse of 200 men at the
time and buried $120 in the cornfield.
He had attempted to return for the
money several other times, but had
been frightened away. A farmer was
husking corn in the field and saw
man sneak through the cornstalks and
finally got close, enough to recognize
him as Dudley. The farmer notified
the marshal at Mount Hope and he
waited for Dudley when he returned
with the buried treasure.

WESTERN CANADA'S
PROSPERITY
NOT A BOOM, BUT DUE TO NAT
uRAL DEVELOPMENT

One of the largest banks in Holland
has been doing big business in
Western Canada, and Mr.. W. Wester-
man, the President, on recent visit
into the Provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta, expressed
himself as being much impressed with
present conditions and prospects, and
was convinced that the great pros
perity Of the Dominion was not
boom, but merely the outcome of nat
ural developments.
Not only has money been invested
largely in Western Canada by the
Holland Banks, but by those of Ger
many, France, as well as Great Brit
ain. Not only are these countries con-
tributing money, but they are also
contributing people, hard headed, in
dustrious farmers, who are helping to
produce the two hundred million bush
els of wheat and the three hundred
million bushels of the other small
grains that the Provinces of the
West have harvested this season.
During the past fiscal year there
came into Canada from the United
States 1910; from Austria Hungary
21,651; from Belgium 1901; Holland
LOTT; France 1904; Germany 1864;
Sweden 1884; Norway 1892; and
from all countries the immigration to
Canada in that year was 354,237.
From the United States and foreign
countries the figures will be increased
during the present year.
Most of these people have gone to
