F. Railway Topeka4 Kans. Special to The Leader-Tribune: Isaiah Hale, safety commission er of the Atchison Topeka Santa Fe railway company, has printed a poster for display in the corridors of all the school houses along the campany's lines, calling attention of children to the danger of walking or playing on the railroad. "Of the 5,434 trespassers kill ed on the railroad last year," the poster says, "twenty percent were children under fourteen years of age, small children using the railroad track as a play ground, or sent there by their parents to pick up coal. Three children trespassers were killed every day last year.

"Over 5,000 lives are sacrificed annually in the United States on the altar of public sentiment, because the railroads can do nothing to Drevent tresDnssinc and hp. cause the public countenances trespassing and either will not in sist upon the enforcement of such laws. "Reports of the Interstate Commerce commission show that only 318 passengers were killed in the United States last year, one for every three million pas sengers carried. The trespassers killed number more than seven teen to one, compared with the list of passenger fatalities. School authorities are asked to co-operate with the Santa in teaching children that it is never safe to walk or play on the rail roads.

Wonder is this would work on delinquent suscribers? acres in Hamilton county will be opened to entry. Prospective settlers are arriving dailv at the Dodge land office to look over the plats of the land and to consult with the officials about the rulos of the opening. So far the office here knows but little of the details for Aug ust 4, but the officials are giving information about length of settlement, required improve ments and filing regulations. The land set aside for settlement is a part of the government for est reserve. The land was set aside by congress 1 a number of years ago and Uncle Sam has been trying to raise trees there.

The experiment has not proved a success and 10,000 acres of the reservation is to be given back to the county for agricultural purposes. While it was government land it was not on the tax rolls. The opening will rriake a decided increase in the assessable property of Hamilton county as well as bring in many settlers. The land is good rolling prairie and land men expect every claim will bo taken on opening day. The details have not been received from the land commissioner, but it is presumed it will be conducted about as previous openings have been.

At 'a given signal the settlers will be allowed to start from the border of the reservation. First come, first served will be the rule and the men with the speediest mounts expect to have their choice of the land. Work For The Editor. Most anyone can be an editor.

Wednesday of last week, a charter was granted the Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad, with F.

S. Yantis managing receiver of the Scott City Northern Railroad (in the hand of the receivers) W. C. Ford ice, E. F.

Goltra; W. V. Dalhunt, officers of the Scott City Northern, Leo Monroe and C. M. Monroe of Scott City and James A.

McClure of Topeka, incorporators. The information, has caeated some speculation as to what the incorporators intend to do and and some who claim to be next to things are confident that it means that the Wichita Falls and North ern, an extension of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas now built into Forgan, Oklahoma, will be extended north through Liberal, Garden City, Santana, thence through Scott City andWinon, thence west into Denver Colo. It has been reported that the road from Forgan would be extended and that contracts have been let for the grading. The proposed route as given will make a direct shipping line from the north to the gulf which will shorten the shipping distance to the water front and make a cheaper freight rate to points rerched by water line. The new road would also open up to the counties of the western part of the state a shipping way that would save big treight hauls and develope more territory.

It has always been conceded that the Forgan terminus would be continud and that the logical point of building is to the north. Monday a meeting is to be held at Satanta and several of the Liberal boosters are going to attend. The plans are that the meeting will promote a feeling of good will among the people of the proposed route and also get inlinesor any proposition that may come up to the people along the route that the new road may take.
