PLANTING SPRING WHEAT.


Barley Crop.
Goodland. Kan. April 1.-THE farm
ers in this county are busy sowing
spring wheat and barley. and will con-
tinue to SOW during the month Of
April. Spring wheat does well in this
altitude. and much Of the wheat sown
here is of that variety.
A larger acreage Of wheat is being
sown this year in Sherman county
than has been sown since 1892. The
ground Is in good condition. there has
been plenty of moisture during the
winter months. The farmers are plan
ming to put out a large acreage Of all
kinds Of grain and hope to reap q
bountiful harvest
Many farmers trrigate small patches
Of garden by means Of their windmills.
1t il hoped that the board appointed to
investigate the possibilities Of irriga-
ton by means Of wells, will discover
some more expedient way than the
windmill to bring the underflow Of
water to the surface. II the water un-
derneath this western country could be
brought to the surface in large enough
quantities. the future Of this semi
arid region would be solved.

WILSON WILL NOT

BASIS OF SETTLEMENT AGREED
UPON MUST GOVERN IN
COLORADO.

Wilson has refused to change his at,
utude toward the Colorado strike sit

operators must accept the basis af
settlement already agreed to by the
miners or stand responsible befora
ihe country for the result.
j. T.. Welborn president of the Co D..
orado Fuel & GrOn Co known as the
Rockefeller property" discussed the
situation with the president and told
him that some of the principal points
OF the basis agreement did not meet
with the approval of his concern. He
proposed another plan of settlement,
but Mr.. Wilson refused to take it up.
1t was said at the White House t.
day that the president will stand b..
hind the original plan of settlement,
which was drawn up by mine ope"-
ator and miner named by Secretlry
of Labor Wilson. Mr. Welborn prom.
ised to lay the presidents views be-

send a final answer.

WOULD MEAN MUCH
FOR BRUNSWICK
SECRETARY WEATHERLY TALKS
OF HIS BRUNSWICK FREIGHT
RATE FIGHT.

Secretary Weatherly, Of the Bruins
wick Board of Trade, is hard at work
or his fight for better freight rates
for Brunswick, and if . well-prepared
case counts for anything, he is going
to win. The average Brunswickian
does not realize the Importance of
this new movement inaugurated by
the board of trade, and what it really
means for the growth and develop
ment of the city.
Discussing the matter yesterday,
Secretary Weatherly said:
For many years Brunswick has
had no commercial territory of i'm
portance which she might call exclu-
sively her own. The business of ali
Georgia territory has been open to
Charleston, Savannah, Brunswick and
Jacksonville, so far as equal freight
rates to interior Georgia points could
make it.
The board of trade is endeavoring
to create for Brunswick an exclusive
u dhC IC1 iLOIy vi b'|OI Bio CthlCo'
with a population OF about 100000
people, or the richest part of Georgia.
Each of these q cities has its own
trade territory, which will thus be in
directly tributary to Brunswick, the
tiral result being that Brunswick will
become the natural port for about
half the population of the great state
of Georgia, instead of having to take
the crumbs from the table after Jack
sonville, Charleston and Savannah
have enjoyed a square meal.
81 need not point out to you that
every individual in Brunswick must
be vitally interested in the outcome
Of this fight to make Brunswick a
commercial center Of Importance and
dignity. The enclosed tabulated sheet
Will help You TO understand what the
board of trade is trying to do.
We assure you of our appreciation
of your past cooperation and with
this cooperation in the future. we ex-
pect to destroy the bonds which have
retarded the growth Of Brunswick
while other South Atlantic port cities
have grown apace.

old battle grounds of either Torreon

Villa, forced to abandon his expedi-

soldiers moving north from Aguas
Calientes and Zacatecas. All was astir

According to official estimates Villa

made by the Carranza element to en-

RAILROADS ASK TO
MAKE INCREASE
IN RATES
BRUNSWICK is INTERESTED, AS
LOGS FOR sAWMILLs, TuRPEN-
TINE BARRELS, ETC, WOULD
ALL BE. AFFECTED.

The railroads of Georgia have pc
titioned the state railroad commission
for permission to increase their class
freight rates in amounts ranging
from 65 cents to 81 per car on short
shipments at the same time promising
a slight decrease on long shipments
from | to 1870 miles are rated as short
shipments.
Among the commodities under
class p rating in which Brunswick is
directly interested may be mentioned
logs for sawmills, turpentine barrels,
brand, brick, clay, crates, lumber, tel
egraph poles, paving blocks, crushed
stone, wood and crosSties.
While the increase would affect ev-
cry part of the state, it would still be
a discrimination against Brunswick,
covering as it does two staple arti-
cles of commerce, lumber and cross
ties, upon which the port depends
Last year 100000 crossties were
shipped through this port. Using this
as a basis the increase requested
would mean $4,000 additional freight
charges.
Whether Brunswick will Ale pro-
test with the railroad commission
against the increase is to be deter
mined today at a meeting called by
the board of trade, at the rooms of
the organization in the city hall,
when representatives of the various
business interests directly affected
by the increase will consider the
matter.

FIRST STAGE IS ENDED;
WITH FALL OF JAROSLAU


London, Sept. 24.-While the vir-
tual deadlock between the armies OF
the allies and Germany in the west
ern war area continues, from the
east comes news winch here is taken
to show that Russia almost complet-
ed the first stage of what may be
considered one of the most colossal
operations ever undertaken by a mil
itary power.
The fall of the Austrian fortress of
Jaroslan virtually completes the in
vestment of Przemysl, so far as lines
Of communication are concerned.
Even the continued occupation of
CTacow by Austrian ana German
fo.ces has not aided in that junction.
Of Austrian and German armies,
which Is necessary to keep Russia
from Overrunning Galicia and pushing
the armies of Austria back to the
ridge of the Carpathians,
BY her conquests of Galicia Rus.
sia now controls the greatest supply
OF gasoline in Europe. The product is
cause of her necessity for motor
transportation.
The Russian movement is now de-
scribed as huge wedge, the right
line Of which extended roughly from
L,bau, on the Baltic, along the rail
road line to Warsaw. The Russian
general, Rennenkampf, is guarding
this line. 1t protects the Russian
sources of supply and prevents any
outflanking movement against the
Russian army of attack, which already
according to news from London, is
beginning to operate in the direction
of Posen and l3reslau, in Germany
The left of this line rests on Warsaw,
from which point railroads tap the
rich and populous district extending
to Odessa. The occupation of Galicia
links up the Warsaw railroad system
and is regarded in London as assur-
ing both supplies and reinforcements
for the attacking army.
That the stage is nearly set for this
attack is indicated by the news that
the Germans are hastily reinforcing
their line between Thorn and Galisz,
southeast of POsen, even to the extent
of abandoning their positions against
Gen Rennenkampf. Not only have
the Russians cut off Austria's domes-
tic supply of gasoline, but the ban on
the expectation of coal to Austria
may be followed, it is held here, by
similar measure with regard to
gasoline. This would virtually deprive
Austria and her ally OF this very ne
cessary product for their automobile
transport and aerial service.
With all the necessary motor trans
port, together with absolute command
OF her few railroads, which are no
longer threatened by invaders, Eng
lish observers expect Russia to con-
tinue TO move with that rapidity
which has in the past amazed militia
ry experts. 1t had been predicted that
on account of her lack OF railroad fa-

TO get as many men into the field as
she has already stationed along the
line of this great wedge in two
months time.
No official confirmation has been re
ceived from Russian sources of the
report that a Russian cruiser has de-
stroyed German cruiser and two
torpedo boats in the Baltic.
In Belgium defenders and invaders
hold their relative positions without
change, but many reports are being
transmitted to England that Germans
are feverishly entrenching along their
line OF communications.
