u. s. Lands recently sold one of
his farms for $1,000, which had cost
nearly double that amount about two
wears ago. The depreciation IN farm
values is keeping pace with everything
else.
There seems to be large number
going to the Strip this spring who had
no intention of dong so last fall. The
reason Of this is no doubt mainly on ac-
count of so much wheat being winter
killed in this section. We are sorry it
is so but the ultima thule seems to
have been reached by many.

so severe here in proportion as in other

The Kiowa Journal SAYS the people
Of Kiowa desire to be connected by tel
ephone with this city. The feeling is
quite mutual. if we sound the senti-
ment Alright, and it is very probable
that the two cities will be connected by
wire. II would doubtless save consid
arahle expense to the business men of
each place and pay for itself before
long. Both the railroad and telegraph
facilities. as arranged now, are not the
most convenient.

bed at o. l.. Days to enter the con-
test. 1t resulted in Waldron Chase
hrowing the highest number Al, and
that gentleman is consequently much
elated. The old solid tire that has
done service so long will now be reIe-
gated to the attic. The amount re-

can handle 1t great deal better than
he could the wheel.
