State Text Book Commission, The state pays nothing worth while for the services of the men yet the work performed is extremely important. It means something to every father and mother and to every child of school age in the state. The result is that no matter what may be the character of the books adopted there is severe criticism offered to the members of the Commission. Sometimes their judgement alone is criticised. But frequently incensed school patrons and others charge that members profited through their judgement or lack of it.

The present Commission has not much to select from. The offerings (Copyright.) to make a choice, the school book pu lishing houses are showing a greater interest in letting than they hive in any other in years.

Mr.

Henyne's story of the town and its newest enterprise was in part as fol- i lows: A large wagon train slowly pulled out of Dodge City's main street a few days ago, crossed the river bridge and wended its way with much cracking of whps and creaking of wheels across the prairie toward the southwest. On over the plains moved the train of wagons, leaving a cloud of dust to mark its way to those who obsevedr it from a distance crawling along the horizon until it became suddenly lost in winding around the Cimarron The wagons were laden with heavy timbers piles and material for the bridges on the new railroad, and supplies for the army occupying the tent ritrung here and there almost all the Vay from Dodge City to the Cimarron "I've seen many Just such a wagon train pull out for the southwest and lose itself to sight in the breaks," mused one of Dodge City's pioneers. "They used to go across "by the Cima ron dry route on the way to Santa that is they did when the Indians lel 'em." Once more the trains of commerce are to follow the Cimarron dry route on their way from the Missouri river to New Mexico. But these trains will be pulled by Mogul locomotives, and will whirl on ninety pound steel rails over high trestles and through deep: cuts, across the breaks of the Cimar- ron where once the savages lny in wait for the Smta Fe frsighters.and todaj artisiaii wells of ever-flowing water make the one-time Cimarron "dry route" a green, fertile and bountiful valley.

In some branches only two or three different kinds of books have been There is considerable speculation here as to what the Commission is going to do. The school book representatives, manyj of whom are at the heads of their own concerns, are o'n the ground and are doing much of the speculating. They have been fighting each other for weeks, to all appearances, but in some) quarters it is charged that there is no real fight.

The State Entomological Commission has decided that tlie "educational" period for owners of orchards in whose trees San Jose Scale and other diseases have ap peared, is over. From now on every orchard owner who refuses to spray his trees as a protection against the spread of the diseases will be arrest- ed. The Commission is being I Wednesday.

It la in the cards that just as Hutchinson becomes another Kansas City, some town In the valley west should become another Hutchin son." Great Bend and Garden City both have hopes, but Dodge City seems to have a tail-hold.

"We are bound to double In population within a year after the new railroad la open," declared Spencer Baird, secretary Tor the Commercial club, and, by the way, Dodge City owes much to that Commercial club and its president, W.

It is largely through the efforts and Mr. Fitzgerald and the boosters working with him that the Santa Fe is building this new cutoff from Dodge City or Syracuse.lt took work, money, patience and diplomacy and Dodga City came to the front with all four.

A fine $80,000 court house and $15, 000 county jail are now being built in Dodge City; the Santa Fe is preparing to start work on -a $30,000 freight depot; and a $50,000 division office building; there is an $80,000 sewer extension; a $50,000 telephone extension; and a $30,000 baak buildir these are among the other good things Dodge City is getting this year besides the new railroad. A wholesale grocery house is moving over from Garden City which by fhe way, tickles Dodge City more thiol anything. Dodge City has railroad shops; city water and lights. The three banks have over $600,000 in deposits. There ire over 300 automobiles in and around the town.

There is one of the prettiest parks in the state; four public schools and a fine high school; a Carnegie library; a fine city hall; nine churches and four hotels. There is a city band, a driving association and an automobile club.

Delegations from a good many points in Kansas to the state convention at Independence Wed nesday will start today. Independence is in the extreme southeastern cor-n cf the state and far removed from seme sections of the state. Many of the political leaders wilj try to be in Independence bright and early tomorrow morning to meet the incoming del egates.

The indications are that the convention will be well organized before it pflltpH mHi nf nnmi velt is to great that it will be no difficult matter to organize the convention. The talk here is that Governor Stubbs is likely to be made permanent chairman of the convention. The governor has disclaimed any desire to hold that job through the convention but it is considered probabla that he will be the permanent presiding officer. There is talk of Senator Fred H. Quincy of Salina as temporary chairman.

There is also talk of Fred Stanley of Wichita for the same job. It is said that the Seventh district delegation will have a candi 'e for temporary chairman when thi get on the ground. Rodney Elward cf Reno conn ty has been mentioned. Elward Is a LaFollette man but Iri has helped the Roosevelt boom since it became evident there was no chance for Roos velt in Kansas. No doubt Henry J.

Allen and R. A. Harris will be selected as two of the four delegates to the national convention but it begins to appear that tiio delegates will have to do their ow sug Besting for the other two places. The Roosevelt leaders refuse to any further suggestions. The fact, that the Governor has expressed a d'si that no office holders be selected for the two places cuts out many who might have been discussed for the jobs.

It is pretty certain that no attempts will be made to endorse the indidaci" of any state or congressional candidates. It is not likely that there will be any attempt to endorse any candidate for United States Senator. There will be a ringing endorsement of Theodore Roosevelt and his poli- wJ run th(, Rnnventlon want to let it go at that. delegates in th- onvution. Many alternates will go.

In l.lition to that there will be many i Several special trains Willi, run to Independence from the casern part of the state and they will pick up delegations from the west.

It has been only a few years since tlrj disease made its appearance in Kinsas but it has already done great damage and unless controlled will wip out every apple orchard in the state, according to entomologists. two or three years the Commission merely attempted to teach or chard owners of the necessity for spraying when San Jose scale was- in the vicinity or in the orchard. Most jig orchard owners who make a study of the business realized the necessity and gave no trouble.

But many the little fellows who were raising jpples or apple trees as a side-line de ciared it was a useless expense the state had attempted to saddle upon them. Many of them refused to spray; their trefs or permit the state lis to spray them. The Commission has discovered that it can do no more through the "d-ucaticnal" system and that from now 'tn it must use harsher methods. It had no more than reached that deter- mjnation when it found a man who re fused to spr.iy his trees or to permit the state to them.
