remark about the Goodland rainmakers.
DR. w. B. Swisher was with him in Mexico,
and n contract was made for rain at
San Pedro, 7j0 miles this side OF the

was successful and rain was made when
none had been had for two years. We are
| glad to hear of their success.
The Colby papers scout the idea that the
Rock Island gulf connection for Denver will
he built from GoOdlnnd. The official re-
| ferred TO in II former article on the subject,
was Mr.. Lowe, Of Topeka. 1t hYs been un.
derStond for some time, that Goodland
would be the point from which branch
would strike southeast to Dodge City. and
that 1t would get the junction in case the
road was to DC built This was one of the
reasons of the large outlay here in machine
shops, etc. Our Colby friends may laugh but
| they will find "thev are not in it, not as YOU
could notice." We are sorry but It cannot be
helped. If gall and wind were to decide the
matter of course Colby would get there.
