MANY NEW BRIDGES
Six New Spans Recently Constructed
in Shawnee County.

The present board of county COM
missioners has been short on funds
for the reason it has been forced to
complete six bridges that were under
construction or for which plans were
drawn, or contracts let at the time
the new board took office.
Since that date it has completed the
Waveland bridge at a cost of $1,000,
the Blacksmith bridge at a cost of
$4,000, the Frye bridge at a cost of
$4,000, the Joss bridge at a cost of
$500. the Poor Farm bridge at a
cost of $4,000 and the Fourth street
bridge at a cost of $4,000.
Besides that a burden of $4,000
was added by the high water in Sol
der creek this spring. Bridges along
the stream were damaged to that ex-
tent. Added to that is the Kansas
avenue bridge across Soldier creek
which will be rebuilt at a cost of $685.

BIC COAL PROBLEM
Ira Clemens Says Railroads
Must Furnish More Engines.
To Do So They May Have To
Take Off Fast Trains.

Railroads must annul some of their
de luxe trains and use the motive
power in the transportation of coal
if the national demand for coal is met.
That was the declaration in Topeka
today of Ira Clemens, of Pittsburg,
director of the Southwestern Coal
Operators association. Clemens came
to Topeka today to confer with Gov
ernor Capper concerning the coal
situation
Outputs of the Kansas mines are
IS to 10 per cent capacity run, Glenn
ems declared. He stated that the an
nual output from the mines of the
state is about seven and half mil
lion tons, with a normal supply as
sured for this year. Failure of the
railroads to provide adequate power
to move the coal, together with in
creased fuel demands by the govern
ment and the big industrial plants is
declared by Clemens to be responsible
for the shortage and high prices.
Clemens is Kansas chairman of the
coal operators committee of the ma
tional council of defense.
Need More Engines.
eff the mines are to run nearer
their capacity, it will be necessary for
the railroads to supply motive power
for moving the COAL" said Clemens.
In view of the shortage of equipment
the only way is to annul some of the
big fast de luxe trains and to use the
engines in transportation of fuel. The
Kansas mines are running from 65 to
20 per cent capacity. We are produc-
ing about seven and a half million
| tons a year. To increase the supply
to the consumers, we must also meet
transportation conditions as well as
demands for coal for industrial plants
now running night and day. We must
also reckon with the demand for coal
| for export.
The big output of the Kansas fields
i is from the Crawford county mines,
| Clemens declared. Conditions at this
time he said, do not permit the mines
! to run to their capacity.
yet there is not a shortage of coal
as compared with production of for
| mer years." said Clemens. 1T is mere
ly an unusually heavy demand for
| fuel and the inability of the railroads
to move the coal and handle other
transportation business Prices on the
open market are skyrocketing because
| of the demands and bids of men not
protected by contracts. When price
goes up, it just naturally stays up be-
cause the consumer wants the coal
| and is willing to pay for it

ROTARY PICNIC TODAY
Wives of Members Enjoy Big Spread
at Henry McAfee Farm.

Topeka Rotarians and their wives
are enjoying a big picnic at the Henry
w. McAfee farm west of Gage park

than the average veins found in Kan
sas He says the coal is of a better
quality than that found at Burlingame
and around Usage City.
Try to Shoot Well.
Two hundred or more Nopekans
were at the well on the A. H. Lott
farm today when the drillers attempt
ed to shoot it. The hole had been
bored to a depth of 700 feet and about
20 feet of sand with showing OF OIL
found. The walls began to cave and
Montgomery decided to shoot It,
The first attempt to shoot the Wen
was made about 10 o'clock. The drill
ers lowered 100 pounds of dynamite
into the well and then dropped a fused
torpedo on top of that. Spectators
were advised to wait six minutes and
the explosion would take place.
dozen photographers were lined up a
safe distance away and they as well
as others held their breath-almost
They waited ten minutes and nothing
happened.
The second attempt was made with
electric current attached to the dyna-
mite about an hour later. 1t was as
unsuccessful as the first. Another at
tempt will be made to shoot the well
probably tonight or tomorrow.

pected Man Soon.

teriously and suddenly in a Topeka

matter up with the officials of his
county, Nemaha, as soon as he reached
home. That was Thursday. Today
the county attorney of Nemaha coun-
ty called Robert Carver, county at
torney. by telephone and asked for all
the information Shawnee county Off
Gals have in the case. Mr.. Carver
advised him by all means to have the
body raised and an autopsy held.
Myers went to Emporia to make an
investigation Wednesday. He did not
make his findings public, but hurried
home to consult with the officials of
his own county. Shawnee county Of

ANNULS 1O2 TRAINS
Pennsylvania Lines Take Initiative to
Enhance Freight Capacity.

New York, June 29.-Another move
in the railroad war boards national
war economy program was seen in
the Pennsylvania abolition today of
1O2 passenger trains and the curtail-
ment of its Pullman and dining car
service.
These trains will be abolished July
on lines east of Pittsburg. Other
roads, including the New Haven. have
taken off many trains and curtailed
dining and Pullman service.
Plans for still more pairing down of
all but freight service, to help make
America war efficient, are believed to
be in possession of the railroads war
board at Washington for all the lines
in the country.
The PENNSYLVANIA curtailment will
release locomotives, train crews and
track schedules for the vital trans
portation of food, fuel and war sup
plies.

Veins Found by Oil DriIlers Are
To Be Developed.
That Is Announcement Made by
Z ii. S. Montgomery.
WELL WOULD NOT SHOOT
Attempt To Bring In Oil Aban-
dOned This Morning.
lCdaI, However, May Be More
Valuable Than Oil.

Acting on the advice of experts, H.
s. = Montgomery, Topekan, who is
prospecting for oil on the A r. Lott
faz I'm in Highland Park, and others
interested, will perfect plans shortly
for development of coal veins which
were pierced by the bit in the well
which has already been sunk to a
depth OF 700 feet. Two coal veins,
M. Montgomery announced today,
were located in drilling the well. Both
are two feet thick. One lies at a
depth of 76 feet and the other at a
depth of 1877 feet.
Mr.. Montgomery announced today
that three wells in addition to the one
alkeady drilled will be drilled on the
fafm to ascertain if the veins cover
an extensive territory.
Worth More Thain Oil.
eShould the coal stratums cover any
tefritory to speak Of" said Mr.. Mont
golnery, u will consider that they are
worth more than oil unless the latter
had been found in paying quantities.
When the drillers first reported the
veins l didn't think they were worth
ANYTHING, but since 1 have talked with
EXPERIENCED experts and they tell me
thk discovery is worth developing. If
we could be mining coal by Septem-
beF / it certainly would be fine"
MIR. Montgomery declared today
that both the stratums are thicker
