GRAIN MAN CONE
A. J. Garrison of RozeI Has
Disappeared-Left No Clue.
Family Grief Stricken-BOOkS
and Accounts Straight.

RozeI. Kansas, June 11.-No trace
has been found here of A. ]. Garrison,
the missing manager of the Union
Grain Co.. and the family is Frustrated
with grief. A few days ago Garrison
went to Larned to attend the Kansas
Grain Buyers convention. President
Compton later received a letter con-
tanning a check for company funds
used against the company's orders in
speculations on the board of trade.
The check also covered large profits
made in the speculations. An audit of
Garrison's books shows his accounts
are correct and the entire family denies
any domestic difficulties. Garrison was
a member of one of the oldest and most
respected of the pioneer families of this
section. The letter to Compton stated
he had left for parts unknown to him.
self or anyone else" 1t is thought here
his mind is deranged though he has
never shown indications of insanity.

SETTLE PUBLIC LANDS.
Federal Land Office Will Open 10, 900
Acres for Settlement

Syracuse, Kan, June 11.-Word was
received here that the government land
office officials at Dodge City have re-
ceived an order from Washington to
open 10000 acres of Hamilton county
land to settlement August 4. The land
all lies south of the Arkansas river and
west of this city. 1t is scattered over
a tract of the government forest re-
serve comprising about 10000 acres.
Some 40 years ago the government gave
the Santa Fe railroad alternate Sec
lions of this reserve, thus disposing of
about so per cent of the tract. The rail-
road company has since disposed of it's
holdings here to settlers and the gov
eminent has disposed of about half the
remainder in different ways. The TO-
600 acres comprise a large part of the
remaining government land in the re-
serve and is all located in township
24-41, 24-42 and 24-43. The government
order is said to strictly require that
no settlement prior to August 4 be rec
ognized and the Dodge City land office
officials are planning to carry out this
provision to the letter as it is thought
the tracts will be in great demand. A
big rush is expected to form near this
place when the opening takes place.

ROCK ISLAND MAN PROMOTED.
w. e. Taylor, Formerly of Kansas,
Agent at Lincoln.

Lincoln, Neb., June 11.-Wlliam q.
Taylor, assistant commercial agent for
the Rock Island railroad in this city
for several years, has been named
commercial agent for the road at this
point, succeeding the late E. o. Miller
The appointment, announced yeSter-
day, dates from June 1. During Mr..
Miller's prolonged illness Mr.. Taylor
took care of the work in such a man
ner as to win the promotion.
Mr.. Taylor has been in railway SER
vice nineteen years, beginning with
the Union Pacific in Kansas. He has
been employed in the operating and
traffic departments, and for two years
has transacted practically all of the
business in the local commercial
agents office.
One fact the Rock Island employees
in this city point to with pride is the
manner in which the company treated
Agent Miller. For more than two
years prior to his death Mr.. Miller
was practically incapacitated by his
illness, and for year had scarcely
been to his office. Nevertheless the
company kept him on the pay roll ana
he drew his salary regularly. He was
a veteran in the service who STOOD
high with his superior offices, and
this had much to do with the COM
panys attitude toward him.
w. E. Taylor began his service for
after that he worked for the company
at other stations in the capacity OF
telegraph operator, ticket agent ana
freight agent. His first work with the
Rock Island was at the Lincoln pas
senger depot in 1899. He has been
employed in the commercial agents
office about five years.

MISSOURI PACIFIC MYSTERY.
Earnings Are Good But Stock Is Quot
ed at Low Record.

Earnings Are Good But Stock Is Quot
ed at Low Record.
The Rock Island isn't the only road
that is bothering Wall street. Read
this from the New York Evening Post
concerning the Missouri Pacific:
with Missouri Pacific selling at
half the price quoted for it two years
ago and at the lowest level since 1897,
at the same time that it's note obliga-
tions due next year are selling in the
open market on a 10 per cent. income
basis there naturally is considerable
inquiry concerning the prospects of
that Gould road. And because the
company is hauling more traffic and
earning more money than ever before,
there Is no little confusion in endeav-
oring to explain the extreme prices
that are quoted for it's securities. In
the current fiscal year the Missouri
Pacific will earn over $62,00O,0OO
gross, as compared with $54,500,00O
in 1912. Hence, as concerns itself, the
Missouri Pacific cannot be regarded in
a bad light. The company could use
some new money says President
Bush, but can comfortably get along
without it until financial conditions
improve In the intricate maze of re-
tionship Of all the Gould roads, how
ever, one is apt to find where the chief
difficulty of the company lies"

PRESIDENT NUDGE is PLEASED.
Rock Island Head Sees Brighter Times
in West.

In a recent interview H. u Nudge,
president of the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific railway, stated that business
in the west is a great deal better than
it was at this time last year, ana
slightly ahead of two years ago He
said that the recent rains in Kansas
and Oklahoma had generally i'm
proved the crop outlook and that win
ter wheat was being cut in Oklahoma
and that cutting would begin IN Kan
sas early next week. The following
telegram, just received from an oper-
ating official, was given out:
Fair rains in Kansas on June 3
and on the morning of June 4. In the
south and southwest portion, material
ly Frightening prospects. Reports dlf-
fer as to the damage done by dry
weather. The rains improved the
situation considerably. Also a grass
hopper scare has been reported in
southwest Kansas, principally in the
vicinity of Dodge City"
The Nebraska situation has been
improved by recent rains. There are
no indications of damage so far Okla
homa wheat is spotted in some localt-
ties and fair or poor in some others,
but it is thought a good crop is as
sured Cloudy in Kansas, with rains
in Missouri. Louisiana and Arkansas
will soon need more rain in the wheat
belt, where, as reported, rains have
been light.

NEW SANTA FE EXTENSION.
Two Million to Be Expended in Cali
fornia Valley.

San Bernardino. Cal, June ia
two million dollar expenditure on the
valley division of the Santa Fe has
been authorized, according to an au-
thentic report, for the construction of
a new branch railroad skirting the
foothills from Minkler to Porterville
and running through a rich citrus sec
ton. The line will run into Bakers
field and several spurs will be extended
to valley points. The road will cost
practically $4,000 per mile.
Dirt will fly within week. Large
gangs of men and ample equipment
will push the construction at top speed.
Before the first link is finished, it is
believed that the Santa Fe will be
ready to continue the work to Bakers
field via the foothill route. Engineers
have surveyed the route and submitted
their estimates of cost, which have
met the approval of the Santa Fe
chiefs.
Heavy expenditures by the Santa Fe
system in California indicate that an
aggressive campaign will be carried
forward to compete with the other
trunk lines for the swiftly increasing
traffic in this state.

FAILED TO FIND DOGS.
Assessors Report Shows No Fidos But
Can See Them on Street.

Fort Scott, Kan, June 11.-Accord-
ing to the returns of the county asses
sor, now on file in the courthouse
there has not been a dog in Fort Scott
for the past two years. This is a
mighty good record, if true, and, puts
the council in bad light, in it's passage
of the stringent dog tax ordinance, at
its last regular session.
Looking over the assessors report
for 1912 and then again for the cur
rent year, 1913, not a dog is found to
forage within the city limits. Quite a
paradox
But one need not go to the asses
sor'S returns. You won't find it there.
