Kansas No Longer Looks to
East for Money.
Every Kind of Profitable Paper
Is in Demand.

Kansas no longer looks to the big
eastern banks, trust and loan compa-
MES for the care of her bonds and
mortgages, according to R. E. Crum-
mer of Wichita, representing R. G.
Dun & Co. In conference with the
state banking department concerning
financial conditions, drummer stated
that an investigation showed a heavy
local demand for every class of good
Kansas securities
cured by the Kansas banks at 4 u
per cent is greedy taken, drummer
said. In addition to this demand of
the banks for municipal district and
county bonds, local money is now
available for almost every local in
vestment that promises returns. Even
real estate mortgages, which were
formerly sent east to the big loan
in Kansas.
II find that almost every bank in
Kansas now is looking for bonds"
drummer told E. F. Benson, state
are readily taken at Az per cent and
very rarely do the banks get a per
cent bond. In many cases local banks
care for the entire bond issue of their
city or district. Formerly it was nee
essary to send these bonds east, but
now the local banks clip the coupons
and hold the securities.
Good Demand For Money
I'm addition to the handling of
these bonds with local capital, there
has within the last year been a re-
markable increase in the issuance of
municipal bonds Kansas towns that
were once villages are now following
the example of their larger neighbors
and elections for the issuance of
waterworks, electric light, sewer,
paving, school and bridge bonds are
readily carried. The bonded indebt-
edness of some of these towns is
rather startling, but the Improvement
and new spirit Of civic pride is far
more startling. In several towns
Mankato, Jewell county, for example
municipal opera houses have been
built
Local capital is used almost en-
tirely in many Kansas communities
for the care of real estate MORTGAGES.
OF course, a few farm loans go east.
but the demand for eastern money to
handle Kansas investments mas
slumped heavily IN the last few years.
Favorable crop conditions and high
prices in the last two years have re-
suited in the payment of millions of
dollars in real estate 1oaLs and many
farmers who had mCrtgaged their
land for almost its entire market
value are free from debt. AS result
of the improved conditions in the ag
ricultural districts, Kansas banks
have faced a new situation. Their
deposits have increased and the de-
mand for money has declined. As a
result money is now being used freely
in the handling of all classes of local
investments -

the city to come out and watch the
professionals at play. The pairings of
the professionals will be announced in

RAMSEY is AN EXPERT
He Is Called Upon TO Settle an I'm
pOrtant Issue.

]. A. Ramsey, city sanitary SER
geant, is gaining a nationwide repu-
tation as an expert on flies. There is
a controversy on in Boston as to how
many flies are required to fill a quart
measure. J. Scott McNutt, author of
Manual for Health Officers" and DR..
Harvey Washirgton Wiley, famous
pure food expert, formerly connected
with the United States government
and some experts still connected with
the government, are engaged in the
controversy. AS yet Ramsey is the
only man who ever counted a quart of
flies.
Ramsey today received a letter
from J. Scott McNutt asking for the
desired information, saying that he
has estimated the number at $4,000
and objection had been raised that the
count was 200 high. McNutt had ap-
pealed to the Russell Sage foundation
of New York, and was there informed
that Topeka's sanitary sergeant, is the
man who knows Ramsey spent ten
nights counting flies and found 1854
In a quart measure. He says this num-
Der is very nearly exact for house flies,
for although there are eight varieties
of flies found in fly-traps, the quart
he counted was practically all house
flies.

FIFTH DISTRICT ABOLISHED

The bill introduced by Senator Z. E.
Wilson to abolish the Fifth district OF
this county has passed both houses and
been signed by the governor. That
act puts Esquires A. M. Davis and q.
w. Houston out of office and the
people of their respective sections are
forced to travel several miles further
to handle their legal differences and
these neighborhoods have been de-
prived Of needed peace officers.
1t is simply another act of spite on
the part of Senator Wilson. The
people of those neIghborhoods will be
very liable to remember the Maine" "
when election time comes around
again. From that viewpoint the re-
publican politicians over the county
will be glad.

ton. and the marriage was prevented.
Monday Mr.. Campbell and Leo Day
ton, brother of the girl, went to the
home of Rev. Bellamy and arranged
for him to marry them. At the time
Rev. Bellamy asked the men if it was
a runaway match and if the parents
objected. They replied that 1T was
not runaway match and that if there
were any objections they did not know
of it.
When the bride and groom came a
little later to have Rev. Bellamy per-
form the ceremony he put the same
questions and received the same an
swers. Rev. Bellamy further asked
the age of the girl and they stated that
she was 18 years of age. He then per-
formed the ceremony, but not until he
had two witnesses present. 1t seems
Monday afternoon the father of the
girl. Fielding Dayton, met Rev. Bel
lamy on the street and used abusive
language to HIM and finally attempted
to strike the minister with a sti.k.
Rev. Bellamy ran to avoid trouble and
Marshal Hill Lowery appeared on the
scene while Dayton was attempting to
strike the minister and placed Dayton
under arrest. Recorder D. B. Rector
fined Dayton $50 and costs.
Fielding Dayton Is quiet and indus
trious man and while he was deeply in
censed at his daughter getting married
it is probable he would not have at
tempted violence had he not been un-
der the influence of liquor. At least
that appeared to be his condition.
Rev. Bellamy stated that he knew
nothing of the attempted runaway Sun
day and stated that he would not have
performed the ceremony had he known
of the escapade Sunday or that there
was any objection to the marriage.
The bride and groom went to Creston

make their home here.

mean that Eastern Kentucky and Gin
cInnatI would build south and tap the
highway at Albany, Kentucky. That
would mean two good lines of road
through the state. Ii the ROAD goes
olrect to Louisville 1t is very probable
that the road from Nashville to Louis
Vile would be built also, which W would
give three lines of road through Ken
lucky; One would serve Western KEN
lucky, one the middle and the other
the eastern section.
JAMES HOLDS TRUMP CARD
Nashville has practically given up
all hope of securing tne road. The
feeling is strong with many that L. e.
James holds the truMp card in the
charter. While he, as president OF the
Dixie Highway Association in this
state, has agreed to turn over the char-
ter, there Is general feeling that such
a course will not be followed until the
location of the line is assured over the
route most desired by him and Chatta-
nooga, that is unquestonably the Snort
Route. Several persons feel that ever
since the Louisville meeting the Short
Route has been practically sure of the
road, but such statement could not be
publicly made as 1t would put the oca-
tors IN bad attitude before the COM
peting sections.
- SHORT LINE WILL BE BUlLr
Several times the Chronicle has
made the statement that the Short
Route would be butt regardless of the
loca ton of the official route The as
surance that will be the outcome, In
the possible event it s MT routed this
way, was never so strong as at this
time. A II the counties in this state are
81 81 uated that the funds for building
can surely be secured and the feeling
is almost universal that once this line
is built it will get the travel regard
less OF the location of the official
route.
In view of all conditions it is hard
to see how the Short Route can fail to
secure the coveted prize. The question
IS liable not to be settled on one day
Or in two, but that does not initiate
against the Short Route.

VERY PROMISING
Tennessee Section Thoroughly Organ
lied and Eastern Kentucky and
Cincinnati Said to Be In
the Same Condition.

Judge E. q. Toilet returned from
Nashville the Saturday and had witt
him certified copy OF the enabling
act relative to voting bonds to builC
the Dixie highway through this
county. AS is the custom with loca
acts, this one will be authorized fol-
publication in the Chronicle by the
Secretary of State and will appear in
full, but we herewith give in brief the
most important features of the act.
$500, 900 AUTHORIZED
The act authorizes the sale OF
$500. 900 in five per cent bonds for the
building of roads through the county.
iOf that amount $l25 ,090 is for the
Dixie highway, but the act does not
mention specifically the Dixie highway.
| reads: "a road running northerly
and southerly through said county,
500, 600 FOR M. -TO-B. HIGHWAY
Twenty thousand dollars is set aside
for completing the Memphis Bristol
highway and the remaining $55, 900 is
to "be used in locating and grading
other roads leading from and intersect-
ing the two roads above specified. )"
The two roads meant are the Dixie
highway and the Memphis to- Bristol
highway.
The act provides that all the bonds
shall be sold at one time and that the
commissioners shall have full power
to locate all the roads, but it is under
stood that locating in the sense
used does not mean that the commits
soners shall have the power to des-
Ignate between what points the roads
shall be built, but that after the
county court has designated the points
between which the several roads shall
be built the commission shall have the
power to locate specifically the routes
traversed by the several roads be
tween the points designated.
FORTY YEAR BONDS
The bonds are to be signed by the
County Court Clerk, are to be num-
bered beginning with one, shall be IN
of $500 each or multlples of
that amount and shall have the Official
zeal of the county affixed. The inter
est is to be paid semi annually through
coupons. The bonds are to mature In
forty years from date of issue, but
may be redeemed by the county at par
after twenty years, at the option of
the county.
CREATE SINKING FUND
A tax is to be levied sufficient to pay |
The interest and create a sinking fund |
sufficient to redeem the bonds at ma
,urity. The trustee will collect the
axes for the bonds the same as other
axes, but Is to receive only half the

or cash. The trustee will be required
o give additional security to cover the
moneys handled as the result of the
ssue of said bonds. The money for
which the bonds are sold will remain
n the hands of the commissioners.
HIGHWAY COMMISSIONERS
The act provides for a board of
Highway Commissioners consisting Of
hree men competent to discharge the

Twenty-one members of the class
OF 1913 of the Ashland high school
enjoyed an informal reunion Tuesday
evening. OF the eighteen young la
dies in the class all we're present but
two who were out of town and two
who are at home but we're prevented
from attending. But seven of the
boys of the class are in the city and
all attended. The early portion Of
the evening was spent at the Vining
Theatre, where Mary Pickford in
Hearts Adrift" was the attraction.
The party then adjourned to Ashland
canyon, where beefsteak and
wienie fry over a campfire, with all
the various good things which go to
make up a picnic dinner, were en-
joyed. The former schoolmates held
forth around the campfire until the
early hours and awoke the night
echoes with high school and class
songs. The class will meet again
next Tuesday afternoon at o'clock
when a swim followed by a dinner
will be features OF what promises to
be another most enjoyable event.

In the Social Realm
IOWans.

Elaborate preparations are being
made to entertain the biggest picnic
party of the year in the Ashland park
Friday, July 80, when the Iowans of
the valley will gather at the auto
camp grounds for a monster picnic
lunch followed by program. All of

tee met Monday evening 10 perfect
arrangements. Ashland will furnish
free badges, also coffee and other
adjuncts for the dinner. Each Iowan

ket. The Civic Improvement Club
will serve ice cream, the proceeds to
go into their publicity fund. The
program will begin at / o'clock and
will consist of several interesting
numbers to be announced later. All
local Iowans who wish further de-
