Does Medicine LODGE Want A Rnilnpnda

The fact that Harper as shipping point
for cattle does not meet the requirements
of the section of country south and south
west of that point, will cause the manage
ment of the Kansas City, Lawrence and
Southern Kansas Railroad to build their
road TO some point in Barbour county
where good shipping point can be per-
manently established. There are many good
reasons for the extension and the managers
of the road see it. Harper, like NickersOn,
Is in herd law county, where fields of
grain, unfenced, are upon every side, and
where the trail is to-day next year may be
an unfenced cornfield. The yards at Har-
per are insufficient and there is not sufficient
grass or water to hold on when cattle are
driven there to ship. In case the cattle
lbreak away and 90 on worthless garden
spot or an alleged cornfeld the stock-men
are. asked to pay exhorbitant damages.
With this state Of affairs many men who
would ship their cattle over this popular
road will either go TO Caldwell or Dodge
City.
Dodge City and Caldwell are shipping
points for through cattle, and during the
shipping season and until white frost
comes, no cattle grown herd are intended
for eastern markets or for feeding can be
shipped from these points; hence it is neces-
sary that shspping poin from which
through cattle are not shipped be provided
ut once The rlnchmen are demanding OF
the railroads that their interest be respected
and we predict that such will be the case
before the next beef crop is shipped from
Barbour and Comanche counties.
Three years ago the AtchisOn, Topeka anC
Santa Fe Railroad built extensive yards al
Nickerson, for the accommodation of the
cattlemen who were growing cattle in tlIi:
section of the country that their cattl,
might not come in contact with through
Texas cattle and be subjected to Texas fe
YER. They bought or leased a strip o
land from Barbour county to Nickerson
and purchased sufficient land near the yard
to supply the cattle being shipped from
there with grass. One season finished TIN
shipment Of range cattle from that place
and Harper as shipping point is withou
many advantages which Nickerson had
The future Of Medicine Lodge depend
on the location of the yards. If the roa
Is extended into the county 1t will be 70
the reason that Harper Is no longer availa
BILE as good shipping point and the roa
, cannot afford to lose the heavy traffic ths
comes from this section. Realizing ths
this country will be Of so much more ad
vantage 10 them as grazing country tina
it would be as a farming country, it wi
do nothing to induce farmers to settle |
q this section. Their only desire is to kee
. their line so located that they may recei,
for shipment the greatest number Of cattl
and to do this good point must be selec

Good bargains can be had.

And even prove the fact to you.
