SUGAR FACTORY.

We have noticed a number of little
articles written on the feasibility of vot-
ing bonds for the purpose of establishing
an extensive sugar mandatory at Dodge
City! Why not? Dodgeis the largest,
and most important city of the west. 1t
is a city that belongs to the county.
Every farmer has direct mOnied inter-
est in it. 1t is not sectional. 1t is inter
ested in one part of the county equally
with another. Every farmer has voice
in the manas~ I of its affairs Let
this factory belong to the county for it is
an institution Of the farmers, and they
are to derive the benefits Let the prin-
cipal factory be located at the county
seat. Let a branch be established at
Wilburn, one at Ford City and one at
Spearville. This plan is feasible one.
and distributes the benefits equally over
the county
VIII the correspon dents of the TIMES
investigate this matter in the different
precincts, and we will publish it to the
country Let us take action in this mat
ter at once. If we understand the pulse
of the people of Ford county they are
ready for question. One hundred thous-
and dollars voted for this purpose, and
applied judiciously in the manner speci-
fled would double the value of every acre
of land in Ford county the first year.

SIDEWALK NEEDED.

A good sidewalk is now in demand be-
tween the two depots. Soon as spring
opens it will be muddy and extremely
disagreeable walking. 1t will be imposs-

be fair treatment to the A K & C.. Co.
to permit this. 1t will be very poor
advertisement for our town to have
strangers get off, and tramp through mud
to north Dodge. 1t would show lack

Let the council take action in this matter

In this issue appears the card of the
law firm of Frankey and McGarry. This
firm has been engaged in the legal busi-
ness in this city for little over one year
Prior to this time Mr. McGarry carried
on the law business in connection with
the firm of L. E. MeGarry & Co. His con-
nection with this firm continued until
the first of this year. The constantly in
creasing business of the law firm made
it necessary for him to give up his con-
nection with the firm of L. E. McGarry
s. Co., so that he could devote his entire
time to the legal business. During the
short period Mr. Frankey has been in the
city he has, by his close application to
his work, done-a very large business
both in the courts, and in the land office.
and now that both members of the firm
will devote their entire time to the bust

ance of the generous patronage they have
