GENERAL MANAGER IGNORANT
c. w. KOuns Said They Were
Out of His Territory.
Other Items of General Inter.
est i'm the Traffic World.

There is gossip in railroad circles
to the effect that the next building to
be done by the Santa F'e will include
the extension of the Mulvane-E ngle-
wood line through Liberal to Elkhart,
and the extension of the Dodge City
Elkhart line to Des Moines. n. M.
That would make a convenient cutoff
for the Santa Fe, enabling the opera
ton of freight trains between northern
New Mexico and Kansas points with
out the heavy haul over the Ration
mountains.
When his attention was called to the
rumor today, c. w. Kouns, general
manager, said he knew nothing about
it, as the proposed extensions were on
the western lines, General Manager
Fox's territory.
E. L. Copeland, secretary and treas
urer, said that no information of that
character had come to his office.
Neither ]. r. KoOntz, general freight
agent, nor J. M. Council, general pas
senger agent, had heard anything
about the extensions described.
Sometimes switch shanty gossip
turns out to be true. There may be
something to this latest report. 1t is
plausible.

IN NORTH Topeka
Supply of Butterfat in County
Is Abundant.
Sanitary Conditions Are in
Need of Improvement.

The supply of butterfat this spring
in northern Shawnee county is good,
according to c. c. Marker of the To-
peka Creamery company. Farmers
and dairymen have been bringing
more to market this year than for
several years in the past. The album
dance of cream is caused by the open
spring, which has afforded excellent
pa-sturage for cattle.
The price of butterfat has held up
remarkably well for this time of year
Elgin market is now quoting at 90
cents a pound. As general rule the
price is several cents under that, this
time of year.
Eighteen-POund Cabbage.
\ head of cabbage weighing eight
cen pounds is displayed in the Citi-
zens State bank, grown by F. p. Rude
at his farm on North Tyler street. This
head is probably the largest ever
grown in north Shawnee county.
Sanitary Conditions Need Improving.
In several places on the North Side
the sanitary conditions are in need of
Improve ment. One especially chat is
attracting considerable comment, is a
lot used for horses in the 900 block on
Kansas avenue. Proper drainage is
not afforded and the effluvia arising
from the debris is obnoxious to per-
sons passing by.
A war is to be waged, too, against
the habit of expectorating on the side
walks. Several months ago the police
stopped the practice to a certain de-
gree.
