REASONS WHY YoU SHOULD
VOTE AID TO the OMAHA,
DODGE CITY & SOUTHERN
RAILROAD.

First. Because the county is at no ex-
pense attending the election, and because
the bonds voted are paid-not by the
county-but by the railroad. which in
taxes on the road is alone enough to pay
the principal twice in the time the bonds
are 20 run. Any school boy can figure
this. The road bed is taxed at the rate
of $1,000 per mile; with taxes at per
cent. amounts to $500 per mile. Tie
bonds asked are for $4,000 per mile and
bear q per cent per annum, which will
amount to s120 per mile leaving a bal
ance of 500 per mile revenue derived
each year; in twenty years, the length
of time the bonds are to run, would make
81. coo, double the amount asked.
Second. Because it will increase the
property not only of Dodge City but the
whole county. This is seen by referring
to Sedgewick county, in which Wichita
is located, and Reno, where Hutchinson
is located. The people of these counties
have home market for everything and
land, although it is 10 better. is worth
double and treble what it is here.
Third If the people OF Ford county
secure this road they also secure the gem
eral Offices, and that brings people who
are consumers and consequently large
home market
Fourth there are many in this county
who want work. and this company pro-
pose beginning work at ,his end of the
line as soon as possible, which will give
work to many who are il need.
Instead of making taxes higher, the
road will lower taxation, as the large in
crease in taxable property brought into
the county by the railroad and its en-
ployees will make iarger revenue at
less rate than al present
Study your interests; if you do not be-
lieve these statements % . the county

This company has no connection with
any other and will be. operated by the
present company, and any statements to
the contrary are false and are uttered by
an enemy to the detri.nent Of the best
interests of Ford county.-Cir.

designated or appointed time. In two
years or four from date at the longest.
God gives you this warning, and sets
apart the time for the slaughter, that you
might flee from the wrath to come while
you have time; for it is coming as true as
tell you. Mark you. it will come at the

FARMERS ATTENTION.!

On next Tuesday an election will be
held at the various precincts in Ford
county for the purpose of voting bonds
in aid of the Omaha, Dodge CITY &
Southern railroad. YOU all know that
Ford county needs n,rth and south
line, and our people hare been working
to that end for the past four years.
Now We have secured the only great
route from Chicago to the Pacific slope,
and We should all turn out and vote
and work for the bonds to aid this road.
Every farm in Ford county will in
crease In value when this line is built.
1t is no railroad on paper, but strong
company, composed of the leading bus
ines men who live in towns and cities
along the line Of the road.
