the business men of the city as
the best local and county paper

most news, it IS the best adver-
Using medium as it IS read by
everyone.
William Hogeboom had an &C
cident happen to his milk cart
last week. One of the singletrees
broke and the horse getting scared
Jumped ahead letting the pole
down and and twisting the wagon
over. Mr. Hogeboom was not
hurt any but his milk wagon was
quite badly wrecked.
Summer has been nesting in
the lap of spring for some time
past, but has now become to
ashamed of her shyness that she
has flung her robe Of emerald over
our hills and wales and now stands
fourth clad in bright sunshine
and grateful warmth, bestowing
her smiles upon our fields of wav-
ing grain and corn
Three COW boys passed through
Goodland Friday on their way to
Montana from the Indian terri
tory. There was one strange
thing abont them, they were rid
ing ]. B. horses, the brand used
by the Bush Cattle company of
Colorado whose range is on the
Platte river They each had a
saddle and horse and one pack
horse between them.
Every carpenter, every brick
mason, every plaster and all the
painters and paper hangers are
busy at work and people wishing
to build, cannot on account Of no
one to do the work. This shows
that Goodland is making i'm
provements and building new
houses, which means more peo-
pie, more money and a great big
city In the near future.
Sherman county seems to be-
the leader in Kansas this year
We hear from Ennis & Walker
that the Walter A. Wood Manu-
featuring company will not put
their machinery on sale except in
the extreme northwest and south
east part of Kansas. This shows
that the manufacturing companies
have a good opinion of our sec
ton and great deal of confidence
in our rainmakers.
AS stated in our last issue, the
Rock Island railroad commenced
their rainmaking experiment last
Saturday in very unpromising
weather, and on Monday morn
ing this section was visited by a |
fine rain. We are not prepared !
to say whether they caused it or
not, but as they paid all the ex-
pense we are willing they should |
try again along in July and Aug
ust. -Mankato Monitor
This is a great season for rain
makers and one that cannot make
it rain is not in it. We notice
that the ones at Goodland, Kan,
generally claim the credit for the
waterfall in western Kansas, but
we also notice that other parts of
the dry section receives their por-
ton of moisture as we'll. Perhaps
they have some control of the
matter until it is further demon
strated. Ridgway (Mo.) Journal.
Ben Harrison, the Goodland |
race horse, took third place in a
race at Denver last week The |
two Denver morning papers give
it six furlong race and time sol.
This is a mistake or else the re-
cord has been broken as the low
est mark ever made was 1909 /
This race was a selling race and |
it is reported that Ben Harrison |
was to be held back in the field, !
but spite of all Jockey Steel could /
could do, Ben came in third. The /
start was a poor one leaving sew
eral horses away in the rear, +
among which was the Goodland
horse. When old Ben starts in
four furlong race look out for
his name as the winner.
Billy Walker, who has been
around over the country of late,
says that when you come into the
confines OF Sherman county it.
