We would call the attention of our
authorities to the exasperating state of
affairs in regard to crossing the A. T. &
S. F. railroad track between Wright and
Dodge City. The railroad company haye
a fence the entire distance and the only
opening is private gate at Mr. Cassidy's
farm, and at this gate during the past
few weeks three men have nearly been
killed by the trains as there is ''cut"
on both sides and the trains coming down
that steep grade with steam smut off it
makes no noise. 1t is very dangerous
place, but the only possible chance to
cross, and this in spite of the fact that a
year ago the county Commissioners lOca
ted an open road near there with cross
ing which road owing to the neglect of
our officers and the opposition of the rail
road has never been opened. At the
point where the road should cross the
track is an excellent location for a bridge
over the cut, which would make an
absolutely safe passage for all time to
come, but the railroad officers say that
they will put a bridge there when the
township beats them in a lawsuit over
it, which is the usual answer of this
railroad in like cases Hundreds of dol
lars for lawsuit but not cent for a
bridge. Men and stock may be killed
but not cent for bridge. Surely all
our people living on the reservation
ought not to be subject to the present
great danger, excessive inconvenience
and not a little expense in this simple
matter of crossing railroad because of
the efficiency of our officers and the OBJ
struction of railroad officials.
Respectfully,
II. w. AMY.

Let US get wisdom from past experience
The eastern part of this state experienced
more difficulties by way of slow develop
ment, drouth, hot winds and poor mark
cts, than is possible to the western half
of Kansas. We all know that of those
early settlers who remained with their
lands and raised stock and fed for the
market are wealthy farmers to-day. A
beautiful home with wealth and com
fort for your declining days is for every
efficient farmer in Ford county

If our farmers would plant hedge fol
outside fences all around their farms it
would be grand thing for this country.
The hedge would answer for fences,
which would be cheap and durable, and
furnish wind breaks that would do more
toward reconstructing our climate and
seasons and identifying our landscape,
than any other one thing that could be
done. Will not our farmers take hold of
this matter and prepare to plant hedge
fences all over this county next spring.
You will be more than satisfied with the
result.

ACCIDENT ON THE SANTA FE A seri.
GUS accident occurred on the Atchison
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, at .Kinsley
early Tuesday morning, caused by one

ed by jumping from the cab. One OF
the passengers had two fingers crushed.

There are hundreds of people in South
western Kansas to-day, who are crying
hard times, who never had home nor
the prospect of one where they came
from. They were always poor and hard
up and great many of them always
will be lacking the luxuries of life. But
soon as these parties come to Kansas,
they expect to role in the lap of luxury
at once. They forget that it requires
time to turn and cultivate land-that
forest and fruit trees have to be planted
and cultivated before they will grow in
to trees and bear fruit That shrubbery
and blue grass have to be planted and
cared for before they will add to the
beauty of the lawn, and make life a
pleasure.
They left nice homes east which their
grandfathers had toiled and sacrificed to
make beautiful They came to Kansas.
They have been here to years. They
have planted no trees, hedge fences,
shrubbery, or any thing that goes toward
developing the county or making beauti-
full homes, yet these are the ones who
are sending out bad reports about Kan
sas. Here where climate is unsurpassed,
even by that of Italy, where homes have
been developed surprising in their beauty
| and richness the finest old homes of
the east. This Is the land to which the
sick come to get healty. where morals.
educational and religious advantage are
superior to any of the eastern states.
All kinds of fruits and grain grow to
perfection. A country which was de
signed for the growing of stock. A eli
mate that supplies well developed youth,
strong manhood, and vigorous old age

these superior advantages we have some

RAINFALL.
There has been an average in the
counties from Stanton to Washington.
In the counties west of this line the rain
has been deficient while east of it the
rainfall has been excessive except in
Sumner, Cowley, Chautauqua Elk, But
Ter and the southeast half OF Sedgwlck,
where it is also deficient. The greatest
excess occurs in Shawnee, Wabaunsee
Usage and north half of Lyon where the
rainfall exceeds six inches. A hail storm
in Greeley on the 10Th with stones from
buckshot to one inch in diameter
TEMPERATURE AND SUNSHINE.
The temperature and sunshine have
ranged above the average in the southern,
western, and northern counties, and be-
low in the central, eastern and south
eastern.
RESULTS.
The conditions over the state have
been generally such as were desired, in
the different sections, for the crops.
Rye and cloyer harvests are in full pro-
gress and the wheat harvest has progress
ed favorably, except in east central coun-
ties, where the rainy weather interfered
with it, though in some fields the cradle
and scythe were introduced. Threshing
has commenced in the south. In the
southern counties corn is tasselling, while
as far north as Marion and Coffey it is
getting too tall to cultivate. Chinch
bugs are fast disappearing. The web
worm is still at work in the south. The
Colorado beetle has appeared in the CEN
trail and northern counties, and in some
is doing much damage to potato vines.
The hail storm in Greedy did much dam
age to birds, young chickens and gard
