Mr.. J. d. Waring, and family are preparing to
move to Dodge City, Kansas. Mr.. Warng and
wife and son Harry expect to leave Thursday,
while Cash and doc" will close up business here
and follow in two or three weeks. We regret ex-
ceedingly to lose Mr.. Waring and family from our
midst. For the past twenty years Mr.. Waring
has been associated with the business interests of
the town, has been staunch supporter of the
church, liberal advocate III educational matters,
an active worker in the republican ranks. faith
full servant as mayor and councilman Of the vii,
lage: in fact in every walk, he has been actuated
by an honest purpose and honest desire for the
well being Of the community, and has ever per-
formed his part in a cheerful manner. And while
we pay tribute for his other services we should
not overlook his preferment as president of the
Neve-sweat Senate, and the members of this order
will miss their worthy leader. The well wishes
of the entire community will follow the family TO
their home in the west, and We trus. they will
sometimes think of CardingtOn friends with kind
remembrances.
The above clipping from the ''Carding-
ton Independent very happily introduc-
es Mr.. Warning and family to us. He is
father-in-law to L. r. Miller, dealer in
feed in our city. He comes to establish
himself IN the boot and shoe business
here. He will be located in the Warren
building, on Chestnut street, formerly
occupied by Sturtevant the druggist.
They are already here. arriving last week.
Dodge City, and indeed any place is hon
ored by the acquisition of a business man
and family of the character indicated by
the testimonials of the people who lose
him as citizen We welcome you, Mr..
Waring, and while we cannot say you
will never sweat here, still you will find
a pleasant home. The west needs men
OF staunch, firm, unblamable characters,
who have courage. sagacity and ability.
We have no need to apologize for the
number we already have, still the coun-
try is large and its needs are urgent.

Editor Dodge City Times:
According TO promise will endeavor to tell you
something about this country. The contrast be-
tween the dry level prairies Of Kansas and the
mountainous and heavily timbercd country and
the large bays and rivers here, is great that 1t
takes one some time to get used to it. have been
on the sound Eow for two weeks and have virited

four hundred miles along the sound and bays, and
all told have not seen more than half dozen
sections OF farming land. The lands are nearly
all taken up now, and large lumber companies arc
securing most Of the good timber lands. Along
the river the land is very rich and will produce
enormous crops Of timothy and clover, and Is very
valuable But when you take into consideration
that it is worth one hundred dollars an acre TO
clear the land ready for farming you can see that
there is not much money in trying to make farm.
People are rushing into this country in large num-
beers and think than one half Of them are

United States but not quite that far to the Cana

to be perfectly dead here and no Improvements
worth mentioning is going on, the people are
actually crazy about the value Of town property.

For more than a week past it has been
raining almost every day so that the
ground is thoroughly soaked. This puts
the ground in excellent condition for
wheat sowing. The indications are that
there will be a large acreage of this cereal
sown the present season. A great many
farmers now have their land in a good
state of cultivation, and if wheat is prop
erly put in and in good season. the indi-
cations are that they will be richly re-
warded for their labor. Get good seed
and sow early SO that the wheat will get
good start this fall and become well
rooted, and it win go through the win

farms in the county. His corn will make
large yield. He knows how to farm

Mr. NJ. NJ. Morrison, of Mt. Sterling,

looking up business location. He is
much pleased with the business thrift
and enterprise of our city, and does not

most prosperous city of its size in the
state. This coming from one who is I'M

travelled nearly all over the state, speaks
volumes for Dodge.

1t is currently reported that the coun-
ty seat war in Wichita county will be
renewed. Friday night two of the cOun-
ty commissioners took the commissioners
records from Leoti to Farmer City, where
it is supposed they will set up a county
government. There is much excitement
at Leoti, and talk of removing the records
by force. 1t is not known what will be
done, but it is reported that the two COM
missiOners will appoint another commits
sioner and county clerk because they re-
fused to remove with them to Farmer
City. There is also talk of forming a
new county government at Leoti. This
same trouble caused the death of seven
men about eighteen months ago.

Owing to the fact that we broke our
press, we were unable to issue the TINES
last week. We hope our patrons will
forbear and not deliver that little speech
of cuss words to we editor. Judging from
the number of persons who call for their
paper and the forlorn looks of despair
plainly to be seen when we informed
them that we could not get the paper out;
our efforts are appreciated and the peo-
pie realize that the TINES is the leading
paper of Ford county.

If YOU want to hear how poverty strict

Ii you want to hear how poverty strlck-
en- western Kansas is go east. We heard
a Mr.. Vincent speak on the labor ques-
ton at Great Bend last Saturday. He
said that the western counties were vot-
ing bonds which were being sold in the
east; the money thus obtained was to be
expended in keeping the people from
starving and to help them east to their
friends. This is not true. No county
in the west is in any such condition. The
law prohibits the voting of bonds for any
such purpose. Where is the fool killer?
We presume that all we can do is to suf-
fer this Misrepresentation to continue in
order that some big mOuthed politician
may be enabled to make a point. We
are glad that there is future and that
it has hell for such fellows as above
named.
