TAKE over EDISON co.
Los Angeles Will Pay s4,75O,OOO for
Electric Light Plant.

San Francisco, Sept. THE Cali
fornia railroad commission has rend-
cred it's decision in the Southern Cali
fornia Edison case, in which the city
of Los Angeles asked the commission
to determine the just compensation to
be paid by the city to the Edison COM
pany for their company's electric dis
tributing system in and adjacent to
Los Angeles. The city proposes to dis
tribute thru this system electric en-
erSy generated by the city in con-
nection with its Owens river water
property.
The railroad commissions opinion
and findings are signed by Commits
sioners TheIan, Loveland, Gordon and
Devlin. Commissioner Edgerton filed
a dissenting opinion, in which he rend-
cred an award considerably smaller
than the award of the majority of the
commission.
The commission finds that $4,750,-
900 is the just compensation for the
property and business of the Southern
California Edison company actually
to be taken by the city and that an
additional sum of $1,57S,000 must be
paid by the city as severance damages
to property of the Edison company
located outside the city of Los An
geles, which property is lot to be
taken by the city, but the value of
which the commission finds will be
diminished by reason of the sever
ance from the property which is to
be taken. The company's price sought
was $780, 100000.

WAIT UNTIL NOVEMBER
Committee Won't Investigate Railway
Problems Before Election.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE joint con-

vestigate the general railroad problem
has decided to begin hearings Novem-
Der 20, after the election is over
1.-The committee believed it could do
nothing at present on account of the
general interest of members in the
campaign" said Chairman Newlands.
Some senators and all the house
members are up for reelection, so we
determined that we would not begin
this investigation until the date named.
The scope of the resolution under
which we will act is very broad and
the committee can take up any phase
of the railroad question it may deem
advisable. 1 am of the opinion that
the question of the relation of wages
to the receipts of railroads will be
given careful consideration"

NEED MORE ROOM
Carnival Company at Free Fair
Largest of Its Kind.
An Effort to Find Available
Space on Grounds.
SHOWS OF EVERY VARIETY
Tents and Stands for Blocks on
the Midway.
Heretofore There Has Always
Been Space to Spare.
SHOWS OF EVERY VARIETY

When the contract with the Johnny
]. Jones midway show company was
signed by the state fair management,
not thought was given to the size of
the grounds needed. There has been
a carnival show at the fair every year
and there has always been space to
spare. But after the contract was
signed Phil Eastman, secretary, be-
gan to figure. The longer he figured
the worse shape he was in. Finally
he wrote to the show company and
asked that a representative be sent to
Topeka.
The representative came and he and
Eastman looked over the grounds Sc
lected. The representative measured
off the available ground, figured lit
tie and remarked to the secretary:
There isn't room enough here.
Il know it," replied Eastman,
that's why 1 sent for YOU
In order to make room for the big
show it has been necessary to remove
the old horse show ring and all other
unnecessary things. With the Jones
aggregation are thirty separate shows
They cover more ground than any car
nival ever before in Topeka.
The shows will be located just east
of the driveway and northeast of the
grandstand. The ground has been
cleaned off and within a day or two
will be ready for the tents when they
arrive. The show is at Lincoln this
week.

Kansas Farmers Playing a
Wise Market Game.
Unloading Stored Grain for

Secretary of Agriculture Has
WallingfOrd Tales.
SONS, DAUGHTERS TO SCHOOL

Hundreds of western Kansas farm
ers who have lifted the mortgages
from their farms are now playing
even with the grain market manipus
iators. They are holding their grain
for top prices and sell only when their
judgment tells them to let loose. Mil
lions of bushels of grain are stored
In Kansas and almost every day some
story reaches ]. c. Mohler, secretary
OF the state board of agriculture, con-
corning the long profits claimed by
Kansas farmers.
Corn grown in Kansas in 1915 was
apparently all sold. But this week ].
c. Mohler received a letter from Clyde
w. Miller of Mahaska, Washington
county, in which he stated that he was
just delivering $500 bushels of corn
is a tremendous demand for the old
corn and Miller's little reserve supply
of feed is worth 90 cents bushel or
slightly more than $500 for the sup
ply.
That is just a sample. Every mail
brings Mohler stories of big profits by
farmers and renters in the wheat and
corn producing counties.
Here is just a sample. poor,
downtrodden man who couldn't afford
to own a Kansas fern rented a tract
of land in Thomas county. Now
Thomas county is the original blown
land" and the territory where the late
James Fike worked his heart and sou!
out in an effort to make wheat grow
On the soil that wouldn't spend def

His Share 1900 Bushels.
This meek and lowly Thomas county
renter has threshed the 1915 wheat
crop. His share of the crop on the
land he farmed is slightly in excess
Of 1900 bushels. And with the war

selves and the corn and wheat stories
are mere samples"
