Geo. Tracewell handed us a let
ter Tuesday that he had received
Tom U. G. Dunn stating that the
family had gotten through all right
to Richmond , Kan. , and that he"
has hired to a man who had 1000
acres of timothy to run a mower
at 30c per hour , and that they liked E
the country there first rate.
Grant used to get § 4.00 a day here
for single handed work but he
writes that his hand is not well
enough to work at his trade yet.
When it is we think he will be glad
to get $2.00 or $3.00 per day for
work in Kan. and hunt for a job
too. But Kansas is a nice place to
live. *
The Railroad compa'ne has be
gun the erection of a coal chute
and coal house where a car of coal
will be run up the chute and
dumped. It will be a great saving
in time and labor. The huge tow
er looks like a sky scraper. There
are 26 men at work at it and two
cooks. They expect to finish up
their part of the work in about ten
days from the time they began.
Other men will take the job and
do the fininishing work. A gaso j !
line engine with a 3 foot stroke
and 40 horse power will pull the
cars up the chute and dump them.
The capacity of this chute will be
140 tons of coal. It will require i r
only a short time with this new
coal house in operation to load an
engine with coal and water. Sev
eral hundred feet of new side track
will be laid for convenience in
switching. .
