At a recent auction sale the Robi-
doux Ranch in Wallace County, con-
sisting Of thirty-two thousand acres,
was sold in small tracts to farmers
and land investors. The sale marked
the passing of the famous cattle ranch,
said to have been the largest tract Of
land in the state used exclusively for
stock raising. Pete Robidoux, owner,
is a pioneer of Kansas. Of French
Canadian extraction, he emigrated to
Kansas in the early '70s, settled at
old Fort Wallace, then the terminus
of freighting trails and military post
of considerable Importance, and es-
tablished a store and trading post. 1t
was here Robidoux established his
store which in more recent years at
tracted widespread interest After
the old fort became isolated and the
location no longer was prairie mecca
for the overland freighter, Robidoux
became disgruntled because there was
no patronage for his stock of goods
He nailed boards over the windows
and locked the doors of the store and
to this day the molding stock of goods
remains within. Of the thirty-two
thousand acres, ten thousand acres of
first bottom land are in alfalfa, di-
vided in tracts for farmers who desire
70 operate on smaller scale.

A moOnshfne still capable of making
five gallons of corn whisky a day was
found in small unoccupied house on
the Hamilton lease six miles west of
Eldorado by the county authorities the
other night Fifteen gallons of corn
mash ready to be made into whisky
was found with the still. The owner
of the house and a friend of his Civ
ing their names as Willard Richard
son and C. D. Price, were arrested on
a charge of making and selling whisky
Illegally. Both the men and the whis-
ky making outfit were taken to Edo
RADIO and will be held until the federal
authorities come to take charge of the
case. The still is one of the largest
ever found in Kansas and the first one
ever seen in that county. The outfit
is made of a ten-gallOn milk can and
a coil of one-inch gas pipe of about
ten feet in length. Corn mash was
boiled in the milk can over a small gas
stove and the steam passed through
the coil which was submerged in a
half barrel of water which cooled it
off and condensed it into whisky.

W. L. Wood of Kansas City asked
the supreme court to give the cement
companies. which the attorney gen,
eral is seeking to GUST for violations
of the antitrust laws, six weeks addi-
tional time in which to present iheir
pleadings to the court. The time for
filing an answer expires August Ii,
and the companies ask until October
1. Richard J. Hopkins, attorney gen.
eral, objected. He said it appeared
the companies were attempting to de-
lay proceedings by dilatory tactics.
The companies asserted the reason
they sought delay was that Col. John
S. Dean of the judge advocates office
had been retained as chief counsel in
the case and he would not be released
from the army for some time. The
court decided that the companies
should file their pleadings by Septem-
Der 1.
