General Conditions

The stock market continues TO re-
ilect present and prospective improve
ment IN business circles. This is par
ticularly true in regard 10 general bus
ines. Advices from the West are all
of more cheerful nature. crop con-
dltlons are exceptionally promising. al
though In some sections spring is late.
Merchants in all parts OF the West are
stocking up more freely in anti, ipa-
ton of large, business. Consumptjou
OF staple commodities does not appear
10 have been curtailcd by recent de-
preston, party owing to a severe win
ter, and distributors find themselves
absolutely obliged to replcnish empty
shelves much more freely than cx.
pected.
The iron trade is now showing 4
very encouraging degree Of activity.
Some plants arc running az 90 per cent
OF their capacity and few are known
TO be running to the limit Prices. IL
is true, are often low. but this stimu-
iates demand. keeps large number OF
hands employed and results In wider
activity. Many orders are now being
given out for steel required for struc-
tural purposes. and the railroads are
also entering the market more freely
Tor rails, locomotives. cars. bridge ma
teriaL etc. Rail orders since january
are reported at over $50, 900 tons COM
pared with $4,000 tons during the first
quarter Of 1911. Fully 10000 cars
have been ordered during the FIRST
quarter Of the current YEAR compared
with $4,000 ordered at the same time
last year, while 500 locomotives have
been ordered compared with 7SG year
ago. There are indications that the
railroads viii soon become even more
liberal buyers. not only on account OF
necessity, but from the fact that con
ditions win be more favorable to the
Of such operations. not to
speak Of the fact that the hardening
tendency IN the steel trade will stmu-
late the carly placing of crGcrs.

WEALTH IN WEED
Kansas Tobacco Rafsers JOYFUL
Over Fine Prospect.
Fancy Prices and Good Yield
for the Undiscouraged.

Leavenworth, Kan, Aug. FL
Among the other record Yields in
Leavenworth county this year and one
about which little has been said. will
be the tobacco crop. Prospects were
never better for bumper yield of the
leaf, and from present indications
those who were fortunate enough in
planting the weed will realize fancy
prices for it.
Although tobacco is a comparative
ly new crop in this county, a number
of farmers have taken it up. but so
far it has been planted only in small
fields because of the attention required
while the plants are growing. The
majority of the tobacco fields con-
sist of from to IL acres.
According to reports from farmers
living north and west of town there
will be big yields. Last year only
about half a crop was realized, and
in some cases there were complete
failures, but this did not discourage
those who believed that the crop
could be made a paying proposition in
this part of the country. The farmers
Of Salt Creek Valley near Kickapoo
have found that the soil in that To-
cality is adapted TO the growing of
tobacco, and they are adding to the
acreage each year.
cutting about September Is, while
others will not be ready for the har-
vest until a few weeks later.

Brewster Best Cream Station.

Brewster, kan, Aug. 21.-Brewster
believes that it should have the belt
for being the best producer of cream
of any station its size on the Rock
Island. During the year 1911. which
was a very dry year and grass poor
$12,815.SS was paid out for cream at
Brewster. This is an average of
$1,O6s per month for the twelve
months of 1911. This far in 1912 it's
a little better, $9,250.34 having been
paid out so far this year, being better
than $1,1o0 per month. The farmer
who has stuck to his COWS and MIXED
through good and bad weather, is the
one who is out of debt. During the
month of July alone this year the
Brewster State bank paid cream checks
to the amount of $2.885.0S- This does
not include butter makers who make
butter and sell, but is for cream alone.

OLDEST ROAD DIsMANTLED.
Equipment of so Year Old Texas Road
to Scrap Heap.

Brownsville, Tex. Aug. 21.-The
Oldest railroad in operation anywhere
in the United States is being disman-
tied, its roadbeds changed to stand
ard gauge and its so year old equip
ment sent to the scrap heap. This
line is the Rio Grande railroad, % y
miles long, running from Browns
vile to Point Isabel, Tex, on the
Gulf of Mexico. The road is now a
part of the Frisco system.
Wood burning engines, with their
tenders, weighing in all 5 tons, built
in 1854, officially went out of service
today. Passenger coaches that re-
semble the old time horse street cars
will go to the junk dealer. The Rio
Grande was built more than so years
ago by Jose Celaya and other rich
Spaniards to haul freight from Point
Isabel and Brazos Santiago to this
city.
The road is neither narrow nor
broad gauge. being 8 feet inches
wide. The Frisco system will install
the latest type of motor cars on the
old road.
