A I'ISf: SHOWING.

the Norfolk and Western railroad, pub
lish.,l in another column. is evidence OF
tho careful and able management which
has l:tted that road steadily and rap
idly INTO the front rank OF railroads.
'rac incoursc of net earnings for Sept
clil:,e-, 1890, over September, 1850. is II
pcr cent. The gross earnings for the
same month from passenger. mail and
express ira llic shows an increase of 80
per cent. This is strong testimony Of
the crnmous influx of population to this
section in the last twelve months.
Making the comparison on the nine
months ending September 30 of each
year, equally gratifying figures arc OBJ
taintd. The net earnings are reduced
to 10 per cent, as compared with the
September report. This is due To heavy
expenses and Il failure Of the gross
earnings to come up TO the September
standard.
Bringing the two reports together all
friends of tho road will find cause for
g-a ;iHcation. In every item there is an
increased percentage in the September
report over that other. save in expenses.

A Good Suggestion,

We suggest that local committee
at Great Bend set tO work and call n
convention to be held in that city SOME
time in the near future for the purpose
of discussing the Cheyenne lake project
and to decide upon some plan of action.
Said call to be signed by at least five
well known citizens of Barton county
that will do all in their power to push
the matter to successful termination.
The call should urgently request that
a number of delegates from each
county in central Kansas be present.
This matter is worthy AN earnest effort,
as the proposed lake will be one of the
largest, if not the largest, artificial
lake in the world, and will he of vast
benefit to every county in central Kan
