BUY ASPHALT MIXER
City VIII Adopt New Method of Re-
pairing Pavements.

An asphalt mixer is to be purchased
by the city for use in the street de-
partment W. G. Tandy, city commits
sioner of finance, was authorized 10
make the purchase today.
The present arrangement for heat
ing asphalt for use in repairing asphalt
streets is a crude affair After the
paving material is heated the mixing
must be done by hand. There is dam
ger of burning the substance and the
process is so slow that much time is
lost.
The new mixer will cost 81 200 or
$I500. 1t is comparatively new in
Vention and is reported as giving sat-
isfaction wherever used.
There is so much repair work for
the asphalt gang said Tandy. that
the men can not keep up with the
work under the present way of work.

I All old asphalt is heated and used
again. For several years the street
department has been mining" asphalt
in the city dump west of the city park.
When Kansas avenue was resurfaced
several years ago, the old asphalt was
carried away and dumped on the river
bank, no practical method of reusing
it then having been discovered. Tandy
says that the mime is now exhausted.

QUAKES IN WEST
Violent Shocks Do Damage in
Many States.
Heaviest TremOr Ever Re-
ported at Kansas University.

San Francisco, Oct. A series Of
earthquakes, believed to have origi-
mated in the "Wasatch fault underly-
ing the Wasatch mountains in Utah,
was experienced Saturday, eliminating
in severe shocks at 1886 p. m, that
were felt in Utah, Nevada, the north
ern part of California, Oregon and
Idaho.
So violent We're the tremors in Ne
vada that railroad water tanks along
the Southern Pacific were thrown
down and various. other minor damage
was caused.
At Baker, Ore, and at Sacramento
and Fresno, Cal, buildings swayed and
residents rushed into the streets, many
in. their night clothes.
The disturbance began in. the after
noon, reaching as far north as Vic
toria, B. c.
In San Francisco the shocks were
barely perceptible-
Springs Dried by Shock.
Reno, New, Oct. 4.-The hot springs
at Gerlach, New, were dried by the
earthquake Saturday night, while sim
liar springs at Golconda rose six inches
and the flow increased. Slight dam
age to buildings is reported from vari-
Gus sections of the state.
At Carson City, the state capitol was
severely shaken and the night watch
men fled to the street. The federal

The Western Pacific station at Car

SeismOgraph Records Quake.
Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 4.-The most
violent earthquake ever recorded on
the seismograph of the University of
Kansas here occurred Saturday night
and early Sunday. According to esti
mates of professors the ~eat of the
quake was less than 1000 miles and
probably only 700 miles away. The
shock must have occurred either in
southern Wyoming central Ken
lucky, the professors said. Slight vi
brations were recorded by the instru
ment Saturday afternoon. The shocks
then increased in violence until LOS
o'clock Sunday morning when the
heaviest quake occurred. Records of
seismic observation taken here since
the instrument was installed show
nothing to compare with this heaviest
shock.
Professor F. E. Kester, in charge of
the instrument, announced there was
possibility the disturbance was the
same as that reported from several
western states.
The needles of the seismograph
registered vibrations of between four
and five inches and one of the needles
was thrown completely from it's bear
ing. Ordinary disturbances register
vibrations of less than one-half ;nch
on the Kansas university instrument.

on similar action by the Missouri

holds that the Kansas commission
must grant a just and compensatory

After the commissions decision, re-

forcement of the commissions order
and received an order for thirty cent

fore the supreme court, where it ask

Judge Flannelly. A demurrer was filed
as affecting the action of the receiv
ers and this demurrer is sustained by
the court. The court holds that it has

Except in event that the commits

is not regarded as the last probable
there will be no thirty cent case in

a direct % cent rate as affecting this
state might be granted. Even that is
problemical.
That the gas company will appeal to
the supreme court of the United States
is regarded as probable.
