Locomotive servant of history heads to Kansas line
A 60 year old Alco steam locomotive once hauling lumber to Oregon has found a new home in Kansas. The Midland Historical Railroad bought the 1930 engine, which arrived in Ottawa last week to pull a passenger train on the Midland Railway between Ottawa and Baldwin. Ottawa pitcher Jason Ball threw a six inning no hitter against Osage City as the Legion team won three of four over the weekend.

Where's the ethanol in Bush energy plan
Kansas writer John Schlageck urges Bush to include ethanol and biodiesel in national energy policy. He notes rising fuel costs, calls for farm-based options to reduce dependence on foreign oil, boost grain prices, and strengthen the rural economy while promoting cleaner energy. He cites ethanol from corn and soy-based biodiesel as practical aids for farmers and consumers.
