COURTS To BLAME.
Henderson Martin Tells Mayor of Gas
Situation.

The courts that have had charge of
the gas receivership matter are re-
sponsible, in the opinion of Henderson
Martin, chairman of the public utilities
commission, for the present outlook
for gas this winter. This statement
was contained in a letter received by
Mayor r. L. Cofran this morning
There was time enough last summer
for the Kansas Natural to get all the
gas it could handle this winter Mar
tin declared, but in his judgment moth
ing can be done now in time to better
conditions when cold weather reaches
here. The letter to the mayor was
i'll answer to one from the mayor in
which the judgment of Martin both
as to the likelihood of there being any,
thing like enough gas, and the parties
at fault for the shortage, was asked
4 few days ago the mayor received a
letter from the chairman of the COM
mission saying that he hat written to
the local distributing companies, ask
ing them to notify their patrons of a
prospective shortage in gas for the
winter. Martin added that he would
like to have the mayor write also urg-
ing the Topeka company to notify their
patrons. In reply the mayor asked why
there is not enough gas and who is to
blame. The reply was received this
morning.

An Inch of Rain Falls Over Northeast
Oklahoma.

BartlesVille, Okla. Sept. S.-The
drought which has held this section

their stock.

CREEK GOES DRY
Shunganunga Gives One Gasp
and Stops Flowing.
Lakes at Gage Park Also
Cause Alarm to City.

For the first time in a number of
years the Shunganunga is dry. After
feebly making an effort to live for sew
eral days it finally gave up the ghost
some time in the night last night. Yes
terday a pitiful little stream still was
playing over the pebbles in the bottom
of it's bed. This morning the stream
had disappeared.
The Shunganunga is not the only
place where water is short. This morn
ing, by order of Commissioner w. l..
Porter, the lower lake at Gage park
was seined and the goldfish. some of
them fourteen to sixteen inches long,
were removed. The lake is getting
very low and the fish are in danger of
their lives. Catfish and bass, caught
in the seine, were thrown back into
the lake. Then the swimming poor was
turned into the lower lake to save the
fish left. The swimming pool still will
hold consdera BILE water.
The goldfish, removed from the
Gage lake, will be placed in Garfield
park, where there is water enough to
keep them alive at least. If the situa-
ton gets much worse the swimming
pool at Gage may practically be
drained to keep the fish alive in the
lower lake.
Soldier creek isn't dry yet, although
Mill creek is dry except the deep
holes. But the oldtimerS say that Sol
der creek may meet the same fate
if there is not rain to replenish it be-
fore long.

THEY WANT IT BACK.
NIillers Ask for Restoration of Mill
ing in Transit Rate.

jefferson City. Sept S.-The state
utility commission today commenced
a hearing OF the complaints filed by
the Southwest Missouri Millers club
of Joplin against the Missouri Pacific,
the st. Louis & San Francisco and the
Missouri Kansas & Texas railroad
wherein the latter are charged with
having Withdrawn all old privileges
regarding the milling of grain in
transit and continued the mill products
to market as a direct shipment. 1t sis
probable that the hearing will last all
week The points at issue are intri-
cate, but involve large sums of money.
The maximum freight rate law re-
duceS the old rate on grain about 80
per cent, and since the railroads were
forced to adopt these reduced sched-
ules they have withdrawn the priv
lege which was previously granted the
millers. The millerS contend that
since that privilege has been with
drawn they are much worse off than
they were under the old grain rates.
In fact, they estimate that they must
pay about Z per cent. more now
with the milling privilege withdrawn
than they had to pay under the old

afternoon at the state treaSurer'S Of
