WILL SOON BE CAR sHoRTAGE

That another box car shortage is
impending in Kansas and is certain to
come if the farmers of the state back
Hp their reported. determination to
sell the years wheat crop soon as
they thresh, is the situation dis
closed by various railroad officials to-
day
There is shortage yet, in fact
there will be plenty of cars for few
days, but J.. R. Koontz, assistant
freight traffic manager for the Santa
Fe, says that tremors of a shotage
are already being felt by his road in
the southwest part of the state, and
declares that if the wheat does not go
onto the market in a steady stream
covering a period of the next few
months, there is bound to be real
shortage.
There is one feature of the box
car situation" said Knootz, "and that
is the shippers should know the ac-
tual facts. There is no use to say
that there is not going to be short
age because everybody knows that the
railroads can't handle the Kansas
wheat when the marketing reaches
the peak IF we could get the wheat
in steady flow there wouldn't be
any trouble but If all of the farmers
are gong co let loose or Cho1f -Wnc8C
as fast as they thresh, there will be
real shortage by the middle of Aug
ust''
The railroads are in better shape to
meet the wheat marketing now than
they have been for several years but
there are different market conditions
to deal with. The railroads have
more cars this year and the number
in bad order is down to almost min
imum
Despite the fact that the railroads
are Better equipped to handle the
wheat, the railway officials are ex-.
pecting an unusual rush to the mar
ket. There was shortage last year,
altho many farmers stored their
wheat for higher prices and much of
last years wheat crop is still in the
state. Only rainy weather, which
would check the threshing, or some
radical change in the market, can pre-
vent shortage, the railway men say.

DRILLING IN PROGRESS AGAIN

Mention was made last week of the
legal entanglementss in connection
with the companies doing the drilling
at the oil well north of Collyer. Since
then we have been informed that the
trouble has been Strengthened out and
that work is in progress again at the
well Four men are on the job and
are working twenty-four hours day.
The business is now owned by VIM
McKnab, of Winfield, who is an oil
man of considerable ability and
wealth. He is now drilling four wells
in Oklahoma besides the one at Col
1yer- He has practically rebuilt the
derrick and shipped in several hun
dred feet of ten inch casing and says
the well is now to be completed as
rapidly possible. We understand
that at present none of the leases are
for sale. Mr.. McKnab is stalking con-
siderable money but if he gets a good
well he will be amply repaid Not
only will he be benefited but all the
property owners in that part of the
county will be benefited. For that
reason they ought to be willing and
ready to give the oil business some
financial encouragement and boost

ADVANCE IN BUTTER PRICES.

Continued strength in the butter
market caused an advance of cent in
creamery extras today. Eastern mar
kets were high and local dealers were
forced to adjust local prices. Condi-
tions are excellent and buyers are
showing every interest in the situa-
ton. The Immediate outlook is very
good but some dealers think that the
market will reach the top in another
two weeks. Butter was quoted firm
at 33 cents. No change was made in
packing stock butter.

steady and trading was fairly active.

HOW WAKEENEY GOT IT'S IN
DIAN NAME

Kansas City Star, July 10, 1921-At
the regular meeting of the Old
Timers Club last week, E. r. Weeks
being present, the subject for discus
sion was the item appearing in the
tfForty Years Ago" column announc-
ing the arriav1 in Kansas City of Lord
Air1ie and his daughter.
HsI brought them in,'' said Mr..
Weeks, now president of the e1ectri-
cal engieering firm of Weeks & Ken
da1. Mr.. Weeks was a Pullman con-
ductor in the 7O's, and was in
touch with nearly everybody who
Travelled.
ssI recoIlect Lord Airlie and his
beautiful daughter, Lady Sarah, I
think he called her. She was inter
ested in the Indian names. Wakeeney
struck the young lady as particularly
poetical and romantic. I remember
her. I bet if she is alive she remem-
bers me, and not with pleasure. I
happened to know considerable about
the Indian word tWakeeney'."
And then the Old-Timer started
slaughtering romance.
''The '70's were boom days along
the line of the Kansas Pacific. In the
East they had passenger rate wars.
You could ride to or from Chicago for
two bits, and if you went to st. Louis
they carried you for nothing. The
row ended at the Missouri river. The
cut rates brought thousands upon
thousands to the river, and then they
could not keep from going farther
west, having got here for nothing.
$50 the Chicago land boomers got
to work and the old established firm
of Warren, Keeney & Co. began per
sonally conducted tours. The railroad
would lay out townsites and the boom
ers would undertake to settle them.
Mr.. Warren and Mr.. Keeney came out
to view the promised land and on
reaching the spot where WaKeeney,
Kas., now is they discussed a name
for it. Mr.. Warren was for giving it
a Greek name with fopolis' at the end
of it. Mr.. Keeney wanted an Indian
name. They asked me and I told
them Socrates would laugh through
his mummy clothes if he heard about
Mr. Warren's scheme, and as for the
rights of the Indians, I pointed out
that about all they had done for the
Union Pacific was to hold up the right
of way. Il think you two gent1enne en-
are much more entitled to hang your
names up on a town, inasmuch as you
are going to handle the 1ots,' I said
sand you might take syllable from
each name,' and so they did.
have letter yet from Mr.. War
rem thanking me for the suggestion
When I told Lady Sarah this she
| thought I was joking, but it was the
truth
Losing the chance to consider the
| music of an Indian name, Lady Sarah
| had another disappointment. Her
train was late. Grasshoppers were
abroad, and they "jel1ed' on the rails
so that the drivers the engine

MAYO DISTRICT EXPRESSES
 MINING MAN OF NEW YORK

J. M. Elmer, New York mining man, representing Eastern capital. recently passed through Whitehorse on his way East after visit to the famous Mayo district, on the Upper Stewart river. He went in by way of the Pelly-McQuesten-Mayo cutoff and returned by the same route. He made the trip from Mayo to Pelly in B hours, actual time, and stated, upon his arrival at Whitehorse, that he considered that the best route into the district, be- ing a fairly level rail, with no divide of consequence.
 MT. Elmer has had much experi- ence in Northern mining camps, says the Whitehorse Star, and is very familiar with Northern condi- tions. He was greatly impressed with Mayo and the extent and rich ness of the ore bodies there far surpassed his expectations. He int,- mated that he had secured options on quite a number of very prom ising claims in the various centers and was exceedingly pleased with the favorable terms he was able to make. The men there, he said, were all willing and anxious to give him options without demanding very heavy cash payments, realizing that as they were unable to work the mines themselves, they needed cap ital in order to secure returns.
 Elmer is of the opinion that when shafts are sunk the ore body will be found to extend to great depths and judges that Mayo will be a permanent camp for years to come It compares very favorably with the famous Cobalt mines of Ontario and other well known silver-lead districts he has inspected.
