KAWS COULDN'T HIT.
Facing Real. Pitching They Made
Run in 10 Innings.

Oklahoma City, Ok, April 3.-Two
hits, a sacrifice and an error gave
Omaha a to 1 victory over Topeka
in a thrilling 10 inning battle here.
The winning run came after the teams
had batted since the third round with
out a score and when the form dis
played by Kingdom and Fullerton, who
We're the opposing moundmen, indlcat-
ed an indefinite number of rounds yet
to come.
Omaha was the first to make the cir
cult, Thomason scoring on Congalton' s
smashing two Dagger after he had
been walked with two down. A dou-
BILE to left by Gear at the opening of
the third followed by an error gave
Topeka her only marker.
In spite of a high wind which handi-
capped the men the game was replete
with brilliant plays in the field.
Grubbs, Shestake, Thomson and Neff
distinguishing themselves.
Gear Makes Beautiful Catch.
For the visitors Manager Dale Gear
made one beautiful running catch. He
threw two runners out at second in the
second inning after they had hit to
deep center for what they had thought
would entitle them to two sacks.
The individual hero of the game,
however, was Shestake. a recruit
catcher for Omaha, who hit safe three
times in four trips to the plate, pegged
two runners trying to steal second and
grabbed a high foul off the grandstand-
1t was his single in the tenth which
started the winning rally and he
crossed the plate with the run neces-
sary to break the tie
In the five innings Kingdom was on
the mound for Omaha only one To-
peka man reached first, McLarry
singing to left in the ninth, but he
was never able to go farther.

Denver Colo. April 3.-Encourage-
ment of the plan suggested by the ran
roads of planting experimental crops
along their rights of way as advertise
ment for the state, has been given by
United States Senator Thomas, IN
letter received by the publicity com
mittee of the Denver Real Estate ex-
change
Senator Thomas declares that with
proper cultivation and careful selec-
ton of crops, eastern Colorado can De
transformed into one of the highest
productive areas in Colorado. He tells
of a visit he made to Limon, Colo. last
fall, when he inquired into the dry
farming methods practiced by w. :
Pershing. regarded as one of the most
successful dry farmers in the state
The publicity committee of the Real
Estate exchange has been making
prepare tions for an extensive cam
paign. not only for new settlers, but
for the proper instruction in scientlflc
methods of farming. With the coop
Grafton of the railroads in harvesting
experimental crops through the sec
ton traversed by their lines. it is be-
heved that many of the failures, due
principally to a lack of proper guild
ance in dry farming methods, can be
eliminated in the future
The letter from Senator Thomas fol-
lows, in part:
If the right OF way Oh the fdlIToduS
intersecting the arid counties of east
ern Colorado could be plowed deeply,
broken dp and seeded to alfalfa, grain
and forage crops. the monOtony of the
barren surface would be relieved, an
object lesson would be presented to the
vision of the traveller, the fertility of
the soil would be demonstrated mile
upon mile capital would be attracted
the homeseeker would find the object
of his search and dry farming would
grow apace.
mo better advertisement of our
great farming industry is possible. No
phase of agriculture in our state can
broaden and develop to the extent that
dry farming can be carried. Once 1t
becomes an established success, our
millions of acres in eastern Colorado
will at once become attractive and in
demand Hence We shall all do all we
can to aid it.
I'VE have made an appropriation for
the National Dry Farming congress to
he held in Tulsa, Okla, next fall, ana
our state exhibit should be second to
none on that OCCASION.

HE TRAVELLED 100000 MILES.
General Western Agent of New Yorl
Central Holds All Records.


More than a million miles of travel
is the record claimed by w. B. Jerome,
general western agent for the New
York Central lines. Few who heard
Mr.. Jerome make the statement were
willing to believe it at first, but when
he had outlined his work and the
ground that he was required to cover
each year the claim seemed more rea-
sonable.
Since he has been working in his
present capacity, Mr.. Jerome has been
travelling nearly $4,000 miles every
year. at which rate it would require
twenty years to cover 100000 miles.
But Mr.. Jerome started travelling in
1878 and has been going ever since
then. He was travelling passenger
agent for years until he was promoted
to his present position. Now he has
jurisdiction over all of the offices of
the New York Central lines north,
south and west of his headquarters in
Chicago, including the agencies in
Canada.
Twice each year he goes from Chi
cago to San Francisco, Portland and
the northwest then south to New Or
leans and Texas points and again as
far west as Los Angeles Then he
goes north to Canadian points and to
the larger cities of the middle west
He is never in his home office three
weeks at a time and, with his wife,
practically lives on Pullman cars

SHARED PROSPERITY OF WEST.
Santa Fe Had Good Balance for Divi-
dends But Increased Stock.

The Santa Fe increased its dividend
disbursements almost on the eve OF
the panic. For four years DIVIDENDS
of per cent were paid on the COM
mon stock and in the fall of 1906 the
rate was advanced to per cent. In
1903 the rate was reduced to per
cent but in 1909 the per cent rate
was restored and has been continued
since The Santa Fe has shared the
prosperity that has come to most west
ern roads, its gross earnings increas-
ing from s90.617,796 in 1908 to $1O7,-
75236O in 1912. In the same five
years the balance applicable for divi-
dends upon the common has almost
doubled, increasing from 1870, 1876
to $13,951.551. The amount OF stock
outstanding, however, was increased
so that the percentage earned upon
the common has increased only from
7.74 per cent in 1908 to $40 per cent
n 1912.

Assessor E. S. Murrell this
week received a set of pocket
memorandum books to be used
in listing property for assessment.
The books are arranged alphabet
Jelly and contain pages sufficient
to list the property of each ward
separately. These memorandum
books contain the same informa-
ton as the old assessment blanks,
only in a more condensed form,
and will do away with the un-
handy and cumbersome blanks
heretofore used, and will make
the listing of property easier for
the assessor.
