Fixing train tracks keeps Amtrak here A $12.4 million federal grant will shore up ailing train tracks in Kansas that carry Amtrak’s passenger train, the Southwest Chief. The tracks actually are owed by BNSF Railway, which hauls freight, but used by Amtrak for its passenger service from Chi- cago to Los Angeles. The $12.4 million strictly is for track repairs in Kansas. BNSF agreed to maintain the tracks once the repairs are made. The grant is the first step that potentially will save the South- west Chief, whose future has been cloudy for two years. Ad- ditional money is needed to repair some of the tracks between Chicago and Los Angeles. But for now, the grant extends Amtrak’s commitment to Kansas – all of Kansas. The passenger carrier had threatened to detour the route to Oklahoma and Texas once it hit Newton because of the deteriorating tracks from Hutchinson through Garden City. Though the tracks are good enough for slower moving freights, Amtrak service was slowed by the worn-out tracks. So the grant is good news all around. It keeps the Amtrak route for now and ensures passenger service in Kansas. Sheriff’s granddaughter thinks of Colby Other money is involved in track repairs, including state and local funds.

Baby Blues • Rick Kirkman & Jerry Scott Terry Family Circus • Bil Keane Kovel Antiques and • Collecting Cuban purse could have value

Q: My mother has had a mint-condition Beetle Bailey • Mort Walker alligator purse since about 1940. The inside is labeled “Cuba.” Can you tell me what it’s worth? A: Back in the 1930s, ’40s and early ’50s, Cu- ban manufacturers sold a lot of goods in the Unit- ed States. Those were the same decades when alligator purses were at their peak of popularity. If the purse is in excellent condition, it probably would sell for $20 to $50. If it had a high-end designer label, it could sell for many times that. Conceptis Sudoku • Dave Green Q: I inherited an antique stove and would By Dave Green like to sell it. It’s a standing, round stove, and I assume it’s a wood-burning model. It’s black 7 8 with metal accents and is marked “Great Western Stove Co., Leavenworth, Omaha, 4 1 9 5 Blondie • Chic Young Denver.” Where can I sell it, and how much can I get for it? 3 9 2 8 A: We receive many questions about antique stoves. The history of the Great Western Manu- 2 6 1 facturing Co. of Leavenworth dates back to 1858. The related stove manufacturer, Great Western Stove Co., was formed in 1875 and operated into 4 8 3 at least the 1930s. We have seen Great Western stoves offered 2 7 6 3 for $100 to more than $1,000.

Difficulty Level 9/17 in 1985 in Ballyshannon, County Donegal, by a group of former workers from the more-famous Belleek Pottery, just five miles away, across the Cryptoquip border in Northern Ireland. Donegal China made marble-like Parian tableware and giftware in the Belleek style decorated with shamrocks, roses, hawthorn and other Irish designs, but the intri- cacy of the pieces was never that of traditional Irish Belleek. In 1996, Donegal China became a Mother Goose and Grimm • Mike Peters subsidiary of Belleek Pottery, which closed the Donegal factory in 2005, dissolved the brand completely in 2012 and discontinued the Done- gal Parian lines. Your tea set is worth about $250. Tip: Repairs made to cut glass can be seen with a black light. It also will show most added plastic repairs.

Hidden Chance Assume you’re declarer at six notrump and West leads the jack of clubs. You have only eight cashable winners and can immediately raise your total to 11 by establishing your diamonds, so you win the club with dummy’s king and lead a low diamond to your king, which holds. You then play the jack of diamonds, taken by East with the ace, and back comes the three of hearts, bringing you to a critical decision. Should Jim Borgman & Jerry Scott you take the heart finesse, or should you go up Zits • with the ace and hope the opposing clubs are di- vided 3-3? There is about a 50 percent chance that East was dealt the king of hearts, and only about a 36 percent chance of the clubs dividing 3-3. This might lead you to conclude that the heart finesse offers a better chance to make the slam. How- ever, the fact is that you will do better in the long run to reject the heart finesse. This is because there is a third factor to con- sider, namely the possibility that the defender with the king of hearts might also have been dealt four or more clubs, in which case he is subject to a squeeze. This is not a negligible possibility; in fact, when added to the chance of a 3-3 club divi- sion, it gives you better than a 60 percent chance to make the slam. Accordingly, you should go up with the ace of hearts at trick four and cash all your spades and diamonds, reducing your hand to three cards consisting of the jack of hearts and Q-4 of clubs. Dummy’s last three cards are the A-6-5 of clubs. But note what has happened to poor West in the meantime. On the previous trick, he had to choose a discard from the king of hearts and 10- 9-7 of clubs, and whatever he selected, the rest of the tricks are yours. (c)2014 King Features Syndicate Inc.
