GREAT WESTERN STOCK SOLD:
Rumor That Grand Trunk Buys New
Entrance to Chicago.

Chicago, Oct 26.-There is increasing be =
lief that the controlling stock of the Chi
cago Great Western railway has been Of
fered to the Grand Trunk Railway COM
pany of Canada. President Chamberlain
and Chief Engineer Stafford of the latter
road have just finished a tour of the
Great Western with President FELTON, OF
the Great Western. The Canadian officers,
it is believed, probably will report on the
condition of the Grand Trunk, mostly
residents OF London, England. This would
give the Grand Trunk entrance to Chi
cago from the Canadian northwest CORE
spending to the connection the Canadian
Pacific now possesses in the 500 Lire,
formerly the Wisconsin Central.

EsPEE INTO COLORADO FIELD.
At Gallup New Line VIII Connect
With Santa E'e.

With Santa Ee.
Denver, Colo, Oct. 26.-The Harri-
man railroad system, through its
Southern Pacific branch, has practical
ly completed plans for entering the
rich agricultural and mining empire
of southwestern Colorado with a line
to Los Angeles, giving direct communi-
cation over a standard gauge railroad
with the Pacific coast.
Although no official announcement
has been made, it is understood that
this road will be built from Farming
ton, N. M, to Gallup, N. M, thence to
connect with the Southern Pacific at
Globe Ariz., and perhaps at Maricopa.
At Gallup the line will connect with
the Santa Fe, and over this route the
ptople of Durango would be able to
reach Los Angeles markets in from 20
to 80 hours.
The plan in it's entirety contemp1ates
a connection between the Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific, built
through western Colorado. Such a
railroad would result in adding 200,-
600 population to. the western part of
the state within three years from the
time the roads are completed. 1t will
mean the development of agricultural
and mining territory that will add not
less thar $25,00O,000 to the value of
the states output.

APPLE CROP WORTH $4,000
In h-awatha Nearly Half of This
sum Was Spent.

Hiawatha. Kan. Oct. 26.-There are
three firms buying apples in Hiawatha
and all of them have been doing a
lively business, especially in the past
two or three weeks. From Sept. l to
the present there have been so car
loads of apples shipped out from Hia-
watha, and there are about five more
car loads barreled and ready to ship.
OF course a very few car loads were
shipped in bulk, but allowing for
these, just call it so car loads. The
minimum is $50 barrels to the car, so
an average would be at least 17U bar
relS to the car. The top price paid
for these apples was $2.25 a barrel
for some choice Jonathans, but S1.75 a
barrel was the usual price. For the
other apples from S1.15 to $3.50 was
paid and it is thought that about $135
a barrel would be the right average
paid for all the apples. Fifty car loads
which would be $500 barrels, at $135
