hind Big Project.
ERECT A TOPEKA BUIlDING"
Permanent Feature at Free
FaiTIs Plan in View.
Merchants to Assume Some of
Fair Burdens.

A new concrete grandstand for the
Kansas Free Fair in 1928 is now as
sured, according to an announcement
made today by Milton Tabor, secre-
tary of the Topeka Merchants asso-
citation. Topeka merchants will start
activities for the completion of the
project this = II, says Tabor. The
present grandstand is not large
enough to accommodate the crowds.
Enough funds for the erection of a
Topeka building on the fair grounds
already have been pledged and this
building will be erected as soon as the
new grandstand is completed, says Ia
Dor.
In the new Topeka huil6ing Topeka
merchants, jobbers and manufacturers
may hold an open house during the
fair. as well as conduct other festivals
The structure probably will be two
stories and will cost between $4,000
and 100000. A dance hall and NOV
ing picture hall may be a part of the
building, if present plans are COM
pleted.
Topeka merchants are just now be-
ginning to realize that the fair is one
of Topeka's biggest features and are
going to work for its success, says
Tabor. Heretofore a few men have
had to carry the burden of operating
the fair, but all the merchants are
now going to cooperate, he says
A sale, THE Free Fair Special"
will be conducted next Friday and Sat
urday. especially for fair visitors
This is the first time in the history of
Topeka that out-of-town fair visitors
have had the advantage of general
special sales.

FURTHER ADVANCE
IN WEST JERSEY
Local Shares Generally Firm in
an Extremely Dull and
Narrow Market

1t was also in the bond rather thar
the stock division the greater amount
of interest centcrcd in today's loca
market. Trading in the stocks was botl
fiat and of small dimensions, indicating
little change in the temper of scnti-
mcnt or disposition to side-stcp the
waiting policy. As naturally would be
expected in such narrow, circum'
scribed market, price changes were
mostly in fractions. The tone OF the
market nevertheless continued firm
which attracted more attention because
Of the picayune caliber Of the dealings.
Among the few outstanding features
was the continued steady advance In
price of West Jersey and Scashore'
which added another point, reaching
32ia and which also disclosed virtually
! little stock in sight. The consistent
enhancement In the market value Of the
stock partially confirms the growing
belief Of an early restoration OF divi-
dcnds. The continued firmness OF Penn
sylvania Railroad was another feature,
with the stock most of the session taken
at "a. although Mt intervals the price
was shaded slightly. Two weeks from
today the directors will declare the 1
per cent quarterly dividend, making q
full 4 per cent out of the earnings OF

again seened to meet stock. There is
considerable diversity of opinion con-
cerning the outcome Of the valuation

rs well. There are many and some well
posted on the street railway question that
entertain quite different idea. They
point out that the company's valuation
Is little short Of cxtravagant, and they
look for n verdict similar to that rem
dcrcd in connection with the Pittsburgh
situation, which may not only preclude
resumption of dividends on the p. Il. T.,
but also may influence n material ad-
juStmCnt OF the rentals paid to the un-
dcrlying companies. both are mere con-
lecture and the question will soon be
settled by the commission.
