Mr. Fred Purkins of Labet county, Kansas, writes the officers of the Vernon. County Good Roads As- sociation, how a splendid road was madein that county without the use of costly machinery or macad- am. Mr. Purkins describes the road and the work as follows: A six mileroad in the Neosho River bottoms was in the worst possible condition and the soil was gumbo; the road wasgraded up 20 feet wide and 20 high and a crowning was left in the center, thea a harrow was used and the dirt roll- ed down good; then the King drag was used in the seasons of 1903 and 1904 after each rain. Mr. Purkins says that the road {s now the best in that county, and the rural mail carrier who passes over {it says it is the best road on hia route. The time required to keep it in good shape was but a very few hours. For two men, with three horses to each drag, 38 hours each was necessary. It this can be done in Kansas, why not in Vernon county? Bates county would also profit by it. Will Apply to Butler. Fulton Telegraph. The merchants of Chillicothe are aggitating the question of gotting together and make an effurt to re- cover the trade that they have al- lowed to slip away from them by one means or another the past few years. Fulton merchants should dolikewize, and this plan suggested by one of the prominent merchants of that place fits Fulton so well that we re produce his language: “For myself I would suggest that the grocers ad- vertise their prices. The dry goods and clothing merchants are the ad- vertisers who bring the trade to town. The grocers used to adver- tise for produce and that brought the people from the country whonow go to the little towns where they get better prices for their produce and get their groceries just as cheap and cheaper in many -cases. Country produce is just the same as cash this time of year. I am not a member of the ’ association but if I were I believe I would advocate measures to attract the country trade. This is a country town and we must de- pend on country trade.” Former Banker Arrested. St. Joseph, Mo., Feb. 18.—Louts L.

Washington, Feb. 18 —President Roosevelt today ordered a special investigation of the Standard Oil company at the hands of the bureau of corporations of the department of commerce and labor, with especial reference to the company’s opera- tions in Kansas The order followed a call at the White House by Representative Campbell of Kansas, who procured yesterday the passage by the house of Representatives of a resolution providing for such investigation.

J 8. Graves, who owns’a farm bordering upon one of the inland lakes, {s harvesting not only a fine supply of ice for use next summer, but also a food supply in the form of fresh fish, will be just as edible when he desires fish next summer as they are now. When the fce began to form on the lake and before it had attained great thickness Mr. Graves seattered angle worme and grobs over some thin ice. The fish in the lake, attracted by the food, which they could see but could not obtain, kept their noses pushed against the ice. So eager were they that they did not notice the formation of ice about them until they were frozen solidly therein, with in a few inches of the surface.

Topeka, Feb. 18 —Apparently there will be no lack of capital enlist- ed in the fight against the Standard Oil company in this state as soon as the legislature gives evidence of its intention to protect independent operators. The oil producers hive received a number of requests from independent refiners who want to get into business in the state. To- day Senator F. Dupont Smith re- ceived the following telegram on this subject: New York City—F. Dupont smith, Topeka: Can raise $600,000 for in- dependent oil refinery if van get prop er protection from the legislature Answer quick. J.D. Cameron, Wal- dorf Hotel. Senator Smith answered as follows: J. D. Cameron, Waldorf Hotel,New York; Will guarantee absolute pro- tection for independent refinery State refinery will not interfere with independents in least.

For more than a year he has been unable to properly assimilate food.

Topeka, Kan., Feb. 18 —By a vote of 90 to 30, the house ghis afternoon passed the senate bill providing for the establishment and operation of a state oil refinery. The entire after- noon was consumed in the discussion of the bill, and two-thirds of the members opposed to the measure made speeches opposing its passage. As finally passed the bill was ex- actly as it came from the senate, and it will be sent to the governor for his approval. Gov. Hoch has been opposed to the measure from the beginning of the fight on the ground that it was socialistic in {ts nature and that it carried an appropriation too large for thé purpose of an experiment. The appropriation for the establish- ment of the refinery and its opera- tlon ie $400,000, The majority in favor of the bill to-day, however,was so large that there fs hardly a prob. ability that the governor will risk the passage of the bill over his vote. Under its provisions a refiaery will be erected at Peru, Kan. Another penitentiary will be built there to provide convict labor for the-re- finery. The house also passed to day the senate bill which fixes @ maximum freight rate for the shipment ofcrude and refined oil. This bill is designed to prevent the Standard Oil com- pany from using its influence with railroads to compell them to ralee the freight rate on oil to a point where independent refiners cannot ship their product or where consum.- er of crude oll in the manufacturing centers can not afford to have the oll shipped to them. Under the provisions of thie measure, crude and refined oil in barre! lots can be shipped a distance of 100 for 6 cens @ barrel. Castro Invites a Spanking by United States.
