One of the most romantic rotes m
Kansas history was played by the
Texas-Kansas cattle trails and the
wild frontier towns which became
shipping points for the herds.
It was Joseph O. McCoy who first
decided to do something about a
market for Texas cattle. There were
millions of the cattle, and they were
more valuable than the buffalo
which roamed the Kansas prairies.
At first, Kansas towns weren’t

interested in Texas cattle, at least
most of them weren’t. But Abilene
was, although it was only a “small
dead place consisting of about a
dozen log huts.*’
As roan as McCoy started building
his depot at Abilene, the village
awakened and teemed with activity.
By 18*10 there were 4 hotels, 10
boarding houses, 9 or 10 saloons
and other business places. One of
the first buildings, of course, was

the jail. Sidewalks were of wood
and soon trembled and clattered as
boot heels clomped on them.
Kansas cow towns held the spot

Andrew F. Schoeppel is a native
Kansan, born in Claflin in Barton

The question of slavery im-
mediately plunged Kansas into
bloodshed. Even before the Kan-
sas-Nebraska bill was signed,
Missourians who favored slav-
ery slipped across the border
and founded Leavenworth and
Atchison.
But Eli Thayer found 29 men in
New England who were willing to
emigrate to Kansas, settle ofi the
prairie, be neighbors to Indians and
fight slaveholders. Dr. Charles Rob-
inson brought a second party of anti-
slavery emigrants, including four
musicians, from Boston to settle at
Lawrence. Congress had decreed
that Kansas would decide the ques-
tion of slavery for itself. And Kan-
sans set out to do it in their own
way.

Cough Relief
is Wonderful
No Cooking. No Eaoy, Save* Dollar*.
To get the moot aurprlaini; relief
from coughs due to colds, you can
easily preiiare a medicine, right in
your own kitchen. It's very easy—a
child could do it—needs no cooking,
and tastes so good that children take
It willingly. But, you'll eay It's hard
to heat for quick results.
First, make a syrup by stirring 1
cups of granulated sugar and one cup
of water a few momenta until die-
solved. Or you can use corn syrup
or liquid honey. Instead of sugar
syrup. Get 2'4 ounces of Pinex from
any druggist, and pour it Into a pint
bottle. Fill up with your syrup. Thia
gives you a full pint of realty splen-
did cough syrup—about four times
as much for your money. It never
spoils, and lasts a long time.
And It gives quick relief. It acta
in three ways—loosens the phlegm,
soothes the Irritated membranes, and
helps clear the air passages.

BREAD BASKET OF THE WORLD . . . Kansas is the No. 1 wheat
producing state of the nation, yielding almost a fourth of the entire
U. S. crop.
Whether for or against slavery,
Kansas settlers lived in log huts,
shake houses, sod shanties, dug-
outs and other humble shelters, us-
ing grass, brush and buffalo chips
for fuel. The “sod crop” was corn
—and corn they ate! Corn bread,
parched corn, hominy, corn-meal
mush—they boiled corn, fried it,
baked it, stewed it. Fortunately,
they had beef, pork and milk to go
with it, and a coffee substitute,
made of dried sweet potatoes, dried
green okra and parched wheat
ground together and boiled.
Would Kansas be slave or free
territory? On its first election day
in 1855, hundreds of Missourians
“with rifles on their shoulders, six-
shooters in their belts and a liberal
supply of whiskey in their wag-
ons” crossed the border and voted.
All of the pro-slavery candidates
except one were elected! And when
the “bogus legislature” met in July,
the Missouri slave code was the law
of Kansas.
The curtain-raiser to the Civil
war was fought in Kansas. Men
were murdered in cold blood.
Border ruffians ravaged anti-
slavery settlements. John Brown
and his sons took up the chal-
lenge and took after the slave-
holders. “Bleeding Kansas” was
no misnomer during the next
few years. But gradually the
anti-slavery forces won and
Kansas became a free state.
Only two slaves were listed in
the census of 1860.
Many notables have trod the Kan-
sas stage. Heading the list is Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, great mili-
tary leader of World War II.
Frontier Personages.
The history of the Old West is rep-
resented by such Kansas personages
as “Wild Bill” Hickocl^ the mar-
shal of Abilene, and Buffalo Bill,
the scout. Carrie Nation and her
saloon-busting hatchet also brought
the state into the limelight.
In Statuary hall in the nation's
capitol is the figure of John J. In-
galls, senator, orator, essayist, poet.
Ed Howe, the sage of Potato Hill,
and his contemporaries, Walt Ma-
son and William Allen White of the
Emporia Gazette, were Kansas
folks.
But the unknown soldier, the
unhonored hero, of Kansas is the
man who introduced the plow.
He was not a glamorous figure, '
and his hands were gnarled and
blistered and bent to the shape
of a plow handle.

Life on the frontier is always
hard. It was doubly hard in
Kansas where the pioneers had
to endure border wars over slav-
ery, bad men, drouths, grass-
hoppers, blizzards and dust
storms, in addition to the ordi-
nary hardships of a new coun-
try. But they stuck it out.
They stuck it out—and “sticking
it out” until the battle is won is still
a characteristic of Kansas people.
Perhaps it was the crucible of those
early years that steeled and tem-
pered the Kansas spirit which con-
quered the prairies. They stuck it
out, rose above the trials of the hour
and developed that rare sense of
humor which enables Kansas people
to laugh at themselves and the foi-
bles of mankind.
Despite Coronado and other Span-
ish explorers, and French traders,
Kansas remained Indian and buf-
falo country for two centuries after
English colonists settled in New
England and Virginia.
Slow in Settlement.
It was not until the Kansas-Ne-
braska bill was passed in 1854 that
the land was opened to settlement.
At that time the entire white popu-
lation of Kansas consisted of about
700 soldiers, based at Forts Leaven-
worth and Riley and Walnut Creek

DEPERCUSSIONS of the speech
delivered in Seattle recently by
J. A. (Cap) Krug, secretary of the
interior, in which he boldly advocat-
ed passage of the Columbia Valley
authority bill, creating an autono-
mous regional authority independent
of the interior department, for de-
velopment of the Columbia river
valley, are being felt here in Wash-
ington. They are being felt par-
ticularly by the die-hards within the
department itself.
Harold Ickes, long-time predeces-
sor of Krug as boss of the interior
department, found such valley au-
thorities distasteful and sought by
every means to keep within his de-
partment all the power possible
over extension of reclamation, flood
control, power manufacture and oth-
er public land development.
In so doing, he made the
of reclamation the largest
facturer of electric power
world. Paradoxically, we
hear the fervid objections
government manufacture of ,
from utility and other opposition in-
terests, that are expressed against
TVA, which manufactures electric
power on a much smaller scale.
But Secretary Krug has knocked
into a cocked hat any Idea that he
would follow in the Ickes traditions
when he told the Public Ownership
league in the state of Washington
that “there has been extensive, bit-
ter and confused controversy over
the best method of attaining the
most efficient and effective federal
government support and encourage-
ment for that sorely needed eco-
nomic development. That contro-
versy focused on the Columbia Val-
ley authority bill which my good
friend, Sen. Hugh Mitchell, intro-
duced into the last session of con-
gress.
“The idea of that bill was sound,
the principles were right, the ob-
jective was not only desirable, but,
in my opinion, essentia] to the rapid
development of this region. I wish
to endorse the idea, principles and
objective.”
Ready to Fight
Thus equalling his predecessor in
plain-spoken bluntness, Secretary
Krug has thrown down the gaunt-
let for another bitter fight in the
80th congress over passage of this
bill, and also, although he did not
mention it, the bill creating a Mis-
souri Valley authority for the same
purposes in the Missouri river basin.
Both these bills follow the pattern
of the Tennessee Valley authority,
and one of the reasons why the two
bills, the Columbia river and the
Missouri bills, did not get out of
committee in the last congress was
the veiled opposition by Secretary
Ickes, who was reluctant to give
up his authority over the projects.
With Krug it is different. "I would
like,” he said, "to give up some
of my power and authority exer-
cised at Washington and see it ex-
ercised here.”
Krug gave some pointed replies
to what he termed “misconceptions”
arising about such a regional river
basin development body.
First, such a body would not in-
crease federal power in this area.
Second, it would not create a “su-
per federal government,” but mere-
ly relocate the focus point of cer-
tain federal powers and functions
already in existence.
Third, it would not replace the fed-
eral agencies performing functions
in this area which are clearly but
a part of a general national program.
Fourth, such a body would not
interfere with the rights of existing
water users.
Fifth, power would not displace
irrigation as the prime responsi-
bility of the federal government.
Sixth, such a body would not in-
terfere with states' rights.
Benefit to All
“The only honest complaint I've
heard about setting up an authority
in the Columbia valley region is
that it would spread low-cost pub-
lic power more rapidly and more
widely, would develop land and min-
eral resources of the area more
quickly and fully, and would with
greater success provide the econom-
ic basis for a substantial increase
in population and living standards.”
Whether Secretary Krug also will
champion the Missouri Valley au-
thority bill, introduced by Senator
Murray of Montana, is not known.
His influence in behalf of the Co-
lumbia river bill will most certainly
put the measure in a position to re-
ceive more generous congressional
consideration than was given the
Missouri valley measure.
In the meantime, the experts In
charge of reclamation and irriga-
tion, the land office and other de-
partments affected are decidedly
upset over the thought of losing con-

Kansas is ideally situated for
agriculture, but it took a plow to
break the sod. Where William F.
Cody used to hunt buffalo are the
greatest wheat lands in the world.
Kansas produces more wheat than
any other state in the union—almost
one-fourth of the entire United
States crop. It is first in milling
and wheat storage. Com. alfalfa,
hay, sorghum, broom corn. Sudan
grass, potatoes, sugar beets, barley,
flax, rye, soybeans, vegetables,
fruits, truck crops—Kansas produces
alfnost everything'that is grown on
a farm.
Rich in Resources.
Kansas finds riches below as well
as above the surface of her rolling,
fertile acres. Kansas is one of the
leaders in oil production, with its
companion, natural gas. Lead and
zinc are mined extensively. Coal
is produced in most parts of the
state. Under Kansas is enough
salt to last 500,000 years! Volcanic
ash, gypsum, limestone, clays and
other resources are mined in Kan-
sas. It is an important source
of helium gas.
As the geological center of the
United States, Kansas was—and
is—the land of trails. Those who
sought land in Oregon, gold in
California or Colorado, trade
with the Mexicans in Santa Fe,
or cattle from Texas, used Kan-
sas as a highway.
The Santa Fe Trail, the California
and Oregon Trails, the Butterfield
Trail, the Smoky Hill Route, Over-
land Trail, Pony Express Route.
Jim Lane Trail and the cattle trails
from Texas, including the Chisholm,
Old Shawnee, Ellsworth and West-
ern Trails, all used Kansas for a
right-of-way.
Kansas today bears some of the
scars of long ago—ruts made by
thousands of covered wagons and
hooves of cattle among them. Lone-
ly graves still may be found, and
bridle bits, parts of wagons and oth-
er mute reminders of the past are
picked up occasionally by grandchil-
dren of the pioneers.
Kansas is great, not only as one
of the food-producing states of the
nation, but as a great family of
people who retain much of the pio-
neer spirit. They stuck it out a few
generations ago. And Kansans are
still “sticking it out" for freedom
of thought and of action, and for the
right to progress by their own ef
forts.
