Rock Islands "BOttle" Soon
VIII Be Opened.
Ell PasO & Southwestern Will

NO MORE TO DEPEND ON S. P.
Freight Outlet Without EX-
pense to System.
Other Items of Interest in the
Traffic World.

The Rock Island soon may see the
light of day and smell the salty atmos-
phere of the Pacific without depending
upon the shrewd trackage rights of the
Southern Pacific.
The Ell Paso and Southwestern Rail
road owned by the Phelps-Dodge Corpor-
alton of New York. may have to build
to the Pacific coast from Tucson, Ariz.,
to get an outlet for freight for the
Pacific coast for itself and the Rock
Island, according to a well founded
rumor coming to Topeka.
The Southern Pacific now handles all
Rock Island southwestern freight from
Ell Paso westward and delivers to these
roads at Ell Paso all the freight and
passengers for Chicago, st. Louis and
Kansas City bound from the west
Recently. however, the Phelps-Dodge
road built west to Tucson, Ariz., and
announced that it will deliver its
freight and passenger trains to and re-
ceive them from the Southern Pacific
at Tucson.
Later the Southern Pacific announced
officially the perfection of arrange
ments with the Kansas City, Mexico
and Orient Railroad for transfer of
thru-eastern freight to that line at AL
pine, Texas. and to receive west bound
freight originating in the middle west
from the Orient at the same point.

SILO AIDS DAIRY
Farm Experts Believe Farm
erS Have Solved Question.
See Change From Wheat to
Dairying in West.

Dodge City. Kansas, July st is the
opinion of G. E. Thompson. Santa F'e
farm advisor who has charge of about
40 experiment stations in southwestern
Kansas counties. that the silo will come
into extensive use in this section dur
ing the next few years. The ease with
which wheat has been raised and the
lack of effective means of preserving
feed crops have heretofore kept farm
erS from dairying on an extensive
scale. According to Mr.. Thompson
these conditions have actually made
dairying precarious and improbable as
compared with wheat raising in this
section But a change is coming, Mr..
Thompson says. To raise a successful
wheat crop is becoming harder each
year. while the silo will make dairying
a sure thing.
Sorghums can be depended on in this
region when all other crops fail and
even the dread Russian thistle, a more
persistent and energetic plant than
cactus or sage brush, makes excellent
silage. Farmers are learning these
things. Isolated silos are going up all
over western Kansas and each is ad-
vertising the silo for miles around.
With the siIo farmers can profitabl
follow dairying. The industry viii be
far less precariouS than wheat raising.

INFRINGEMENT ON UNION PAC.
President Mohler Says No Extensions
Are on Program for 1913.

Omaha, Neb.. July 3.-President
Mohler of the Union Pacific is back
from New York and brings word that
no extensions of the Union Pacific will
be made this year. He is also of the
opinion that the decision of the court
in the merger case will have no effect
upon Union Pacific affairs. With the
merger completely dissolved, the Cen
trail Pacific will be operated as a sep
arate road, with close traffic arrange
ments with the Union Pacific. It will
have its own officers and will be
competing line. The extension of six
miles up the Platte river valley from
Gering has been finished and will soon
be in operation. This extension gets
the Union Pacific into a valley that
this year is likely to ship out some
1000 cars of grain and farm products.

WOULD BE FATAL
Sugar Beet Companies of Kan
sas May Be Forced to Close.
Will Finish Season, but Not
Open Next Year.

Syracuse. Kansas, July 3.-According
to E. H. Gerecke, manager of the La
mar, Colo, factory of the American
Beet Sugar company. if the beet sugar
industry is forced out of existence in
the Colorado Arkansas valley approx
mately three million dollars annually
will be taken from the people of that
section. The same is true to a slightly
lesser extent of the Kansas section of
the valley. There are now approx
mately $1,000 acres in the Colorado sec
ton of the valley devoted to sugar
beet raising" said Mr.. Gerecke. This
land, under present tariff conditions is
worth SIS per acre for beet raising.
With sugar on the free list the COM
pany would have to close down its
mills and the land would have to be put
back into alfalfa, for which it would be
worth $40 per acre. There you are
81 ,125.000 for beetS as against 81, 100 900
for alfalfa
Mr.. Gerecke said that ''the sugar
beet industry annually furnishes en-
ployment to about 5000 persons, distri-
buting a vast amount of money for
labor besides that expended in the pur-
chase of beets from the raisers. Under
present conditions it will continue to
grow but if the tariff is taken from
sugar it will shrivel and die. The COM
pany will shut down its five factories
as it will not operate them at a loss"
These conditions in Colorado are
practically duplicated in the extreme
western part of the Kansas Arkansas
valley and the beet raising sections of
both states are watching the sugar
tariff fight with intense interest. Mr.
Gerecke brought considerable encour-
agement with a statement that even If
the tariff should be taken off the COM
pany would buy the beets contracted
for this season and run the mills until
they were consumed, though no fac
tories would reopen next year.

gross, and $9,65O,000 heavier than the
earnings of the company when the

property late in the fiscal year 1911.
The new Missouri Pacific manage

ness. saved $4,340,0OO in the trans
portation department compared

they were All per cent. The saving

turn on the SIS, 900, 900 spent on the

ship decided at a special election to

Mr.. Yantis was given the purchase be-
cause of his personal popularity here
growing out of his railroad operation

HE COULD NOT WATT.
Pratt County Man Acts as His Own
Surgeon.

Pratt, Kan, July 3.-CarlyIe Gold
smith, living east of Pond Creek, felt
that he could not wait for the sur
geons when he had a serious attack of
appendicitis and started to operate on
himself. When the surgeons, Drs. F.
P. and Ross Hulen, arrived, he had an
incision cut into his side about three
inches long clear into the hollow of
the abdomen. He was using com
mon pocketknife and was being as
sisted by his wife. To guard against
infection he was using a solution of
carbolic acid freely.
The doctors credit him with going
at the job remarkably we'll and do not
think he did himself any harm The
operation was completed by them and
the patient is getting along nicely,
with chances in favor of his being up
and around in a short time.
