WEST PLAINS. ITEMS.
~ the Edifor NJ fho Dod0a Citv TTNrra

To the Editor Of the Dodge City TINES
Your smiling face lightens the cares
of the few weary plodding pilgrims, and
town builders at least once week, in
and about West Plains. This town so
quietly got start without that sys-
tematic blowing. One can clearly see
that it is hand and hand with success.
Already it is little wonder, so late in
the season when the breath of existence
was blown into its lungs. and it came
too late for safe wintering. But she
lives, thrives and has grown all winter.
There are now 3 firms selling groceries,
one dry goods and notions, one drug
store, two hotels with livery and feed
stables to each, three drilled wells of
pure water, varying from $50 feet to
1GO feet deep; 20 small houses at pres
ent rented for dwellings.
Two large store buildings, just being
finished, which would make very i'm
posing appearance were they even in
your city. A block of store rooms,
four buildings combined, large and COM
modious, completed and painted, (occu-

to rest, aud again buss you when the
spring flowers bloom. But remember!
'.look away to the southwest Of you,
for coming city.
l learned from Pennsylvania capt
talist the prospects were very fattering
for a narrow guage railroad from Dodge
City to West Plains, and that combined
influences, with railways, Dodge City
interests, and capital (eminent capitalist
desiring to invest in the interprise.)
made it almost certainty of its being
built. An organization may be COM
pletcd, of which learn there are en-
gineers looking over the line, and that
the capital stock was put at $50, OOO, 900,
in order to extend the enterprise when
it becomes necessary. without the ''old
fogy'' method Of watering the stock. 4
coal road is the main object. and the
citizens of Kansas, as whole, are
lucky interested in this. Cheap coal
is one thing we want, and must have.
with the abundance that surrounds us.
Emigrant wagons are pulling in new
arrivals from Indiana. All along the
roads are hundreds of families in wagons
coming to these open free fields for
homes. The influence of the winters

tard immigration movements, but still

speculation, town builders, who in

Everybody has place in life. When
death makes removal the place is fill
ed by another. Man by his ingenuity
and adeptness may provide himself with
an occupation or duty, quite in harmony
with private or public need. Some
men are useful private citizens, and yet
their presence is scarcely noticed. Let
death summon them to the other shore
and the void becomes apparent. When
rcmorse sweeps down upon old age and
gathers its victim numerically, the pang
strikes terror to sympathizipg hearts.
The life of George Broadnax, whose
death was mentioned last week, and
whose age was computed at 113 years,
may afford some food for thought and
reflection. George was useful man,
though his occupation was of the most
mental kind. He was public scavcnger,
and we are dong him no injustice to
thus title him. He chose to fill this
place because he was unable to perform
labor. He was an industrious man and
provided for himself and family by
picking up coal, rags and the refuse of
kitchens, and whatever discarded things
that could be made useful. He was on
ly black man and once had been
slave, but he enjoyed freedom and the
fresh air with the same feeling of pleas
urc and kindness as though he were
rich and of the whitest color. George
was a kind-hearted man, and probably
as honest as any of his class, but in an
evil moment, when the air was thick
with the smoke of burning buildings
and the hot and cracking flames were
tempcring the severe arctic winds from
the north, George was induced to be-
come the harbinger of stolen goods.
His arrest and confinement for the al
legged completely in theft so preyed
upon the poor negro's mind that he
gave up to rcmorsc and death. The
once poor slave was gathered under the
wing of the Heavenly Father as the
hen gathers her brood under her pro-
tecting care. His spirit was waited to
that othcr-that brighter world.

CROOKED CREEK ITEMS.

As it has been some time since
my last to your valuable paper, will
take up my pen and record a few
items.
-Plowing was begun here during the
warm weather. From general appear
ances around most settlements, Ford
county will be second to none in regard
to thrifty farmers.
-Hoosicrs seem to like this part of
Kansas, as they are coming in taking
land settling on and improving it, ex-
press their delight on the richness of
the soil.
Barton Brothers, the gentlemen
who have large pastures near Cimarron
are in this locality looking up their
strays.
The new store at Pearlette fills a
long felt want in this community. We
hope tn gentlemen in charge will receive
their share of patronage.
The literary society has suspended
for the time being. There has been
some misunderstanding between some
of the members, causing hard feelings
We hope the difficulty will be settled
without further trouble, and the good
cause may continue.
We have been interested in DR..
Galland's fight, and are glad to learn
that he succeeded in downing the enemy.
We sincerely hope that the better class
of citizens Of Dodge City will join
hands with the Doctor, and by steady
work for the right, compel all such pub
lie disgraces to nota benc. Dodge
City has the name of bad place, why?
simply because her citizens do not see
that the law is fulfilled. IF state laws
were enacted. there is no reason why
Dodge may not be termed moral as well
as beautiful. CHAT.

FOWLER CITY ITEMS.

Having seen no items for some time

Fowler is thing of the past, but 70.
go since our last writing Fowler has
taken quite boom. Quite a number
of good substantial buildings have gone
up, and great many more will 60 up
just as soon as the weather will permit
"A large and commodious hotel
will be commenced next week and we
may soon expect to see quite city
looming up on theprcsent site of Fowler.
Although the winter has been quite
severe, the immigration to this place
has never entirely ceased.
A party of gentlemen arrived here
last Saturday from ILL.,, and We are in
formed that there will be quite an i'm
migration to this place from that state
in the spring.
Perrin, O'Donnell & Co., have just
received seven ear loads of lumber,
which will greatly increase their lum-
Der yard.
Our post Office presents very
neat appearance. DR.. Campbell is
p. NJ.
The Literary Society at this place
is we'll attended, and continues to grow
in interest.
Although there are quite a num-
Der of new towns in South Western
Kansas, We congratulate ourselves in
saying that Fowler is still ''on top.
This is owing to the great fertility of
the soil and the nearness of water to
the surface of the ground. No one
wants land where he has to dig 90 to
$50 feet for water, when he can get
better land and good water at depth
of from ~ to % feet. Every man in
Fowler can afford his own well, which
is not the case in all the new towns in
this section Of country.

to note the virtue of advertising. In
this we have the key to the heavy in
flux over there, and so learn why the
north side has been almost totally ig-
norcd. Out here we have richer soil,
better water, finer grass and more
beautiful lay of country, but since no
one has organized ''town company
or fired off his silyery bazoo these north
ern townships have slumbercd. Just
now, however, the tenderfoot is becom-
ing most numerous person, and claims
are going like gimcracks at an Irish

find ready friends glad to show them all

The several small herds of cattle
hay-fed by the grangers here have
withstood the rigors of the past ten
weeks exceedingly well, and will go to
range in fine shape this spring This
unprecedented winter now drawing to
close will, no doubt, take all the starch
out of the "rustle' idea with big cattle
men. If it doesn't. the irresistible tide
of immigration will, and the large herds
must go.
The vote of Dodge City on the
bridge proposition would lead one to in
fer that in some localities the power of

spirit of progress. Let us have anoth-
err shake of the box on this important
question of home enterprise.
1t has been demonstrated that
wheat, barley, rye, oats and millet, can
be successfully grown here without irri-
gating and, tho VIC may have an occa-
sional ten-months' blister on the face of

wave.

there are twenty-five vacant homesteads,
has school house complete. finished
and paid for at cost of 81, 400. Miss
Gertie Adams, of Dodge, wields the
birch, and is cvincing her efficiency in
the good progress making by the school.
The Philomath literary society is
an organization Of which the north side
is proud. It settled the much agitated
cattle trail question last Monday eve
ming, thereby saving congress much
vexatious trouble. Let the long
horns travel by rail or stay at home.
Our neighbor, J. H. Longan, is in
the land business, and writes notary
public after his name.
Frank Ridenour's wife and daught-
err, just from Indiana, have joined him

The northwest Buckncr people
