DALLAS DELEGATION COMING
viii Attend u Oodmen Log Rolling in
Fare


Chairman Weik of the board of man
ayers of the woodmen log rolling has
received a telegram from Dallas, Texas,
stating that the delegation from that
place which is coming to attend the log
rolling viii be a large one and that they
5 will bring their own band with them
Five hands have announced their inten-
ton of being in the contest and viii
come regardless of there being a delega-
ton to accompany them. They claim
that the prizes offered by the Wichita
contingent are far ahead Of anything
which is being offered at any similar
event in this state.
Correspondence from delegations from
various towns which viii be here for the
log rolling event promises that the crowd
of people coming to this city on Septetm-
her 5, viii be one Of the largest gather
ings ever held in the state. The drill
contest in which many teams are enter
ed, is attracting much attention, the
interest of the various lodges will be cen
tered in that one contest. The prizes Of
fered are splendid ones and any team
which gets TO the front in this contest
will have much labor on their part.
Arrangements for the event have near
ly all been completed. The drill tetam
contest is 20 be at the fair grounds. and
the transportation facilities viii be ample
for the crowd. The band contest will
be in the city and in the evening the
bands viii give a concert on the streets
and the drill team vii give a special
exhibition Tor the crowds which will be
out at that time.
One particularly noticeable thing about
the log rolling event is the securing of
tho low railroad rates The railroads
have offered 10 run special trains from
Eastern Kansas and Missouri and have
made rates that are within reach Of all.
Trains from the west will be run into the
city ard people from the entire western
part of Kansas viii be accommodated.
BY special arrangements the cars are
TO remain omen and this viii he FOR thu
convenience Of the excursionists in case
they should become tired and wish to
have a place to rest.
Another meeting OF the board OF man
ayers viii be held within the next day
or SO TO clear up any business that may
be left unattended to before the log rol-
ling.

ORIENT SHOPS HERE
[. B. Gardane of Concho,
Texas
BUYS PROPERTY HERE
Says American Shops of Still
we'll Road Will be in Wichita
HERE

L. B. Gardone OF Fort Concho, Texas,
proprietor of the Gardone Cattle COM
pany, was in the city last night on his
way home from Chicago, where ne went
recently on business trip. Mr.. Gardone
said he had made several trips to wich-
tia in the last year and was much
pleased with the town and the push of
the business men here.
Wichita" he said, will be the best
town between Kansas City and Calves
ton. 1t will be the metropolis of a great
section of country in the triangle OF
which Galveston, Denver and Kansas
City mark the angles. 1t is centrally
located, it has the railroad facilities, it
has a good country around it. I hear
you are figuring with the Stillwen peo-
pie for the Kansas City, Mexico and
Orient road and have reliable informa
ton that the American shops of the
road will be built here. One Of the Still
well people told me this and have con-
tracted for or rather I have secured OPP
tons on 5000 worth of real estate in and
around Wichita on the strength Of this
statement and on the results of my own
observations. 1 believe that within five
years Wichita viii have 100000 people. I
know it as well as 1 know anything OF
which I have absolute proof in my hand.
You Wichita people are fools. I don't
mean that exactly, but I mean that you
are throwing away your time and losing
money foolishly by not projecting a
road into the coal country southeast Of
here. That would give you cheaper fuel
and you could do something in the way
of manufactures. The American shops
of the Stillwell road are coming here. 1
know that. They will employ at least
800 or 900 ment to start with, and while
that will help it won't make a city of
Wichita. You ought TO have some man
ufacturing establishments and you could
if you would go after cheap fuel. Wich-
ita is attracting the attention Of the
country and is prominent enough now
to go after big substantial things. You
can get them. I should think you'd raise
money enough for the Whitaker plant II
one days time 1t will be a big thing
for you. Any cattleman would rather
stop here than go on to Kansas City or
Chicago if you could handle the stuff
But you are foolish not to go after cheap
fuel. The Stillwell road, besides bring
up a new jobbing territory. I'd rather
buy property here for investment than in
any other town in the west

Not only has the association provided
ample entertainments for his amusement,
but they have so arranged the premium
offers that three or more exhibitors can
derive additional benefits whereas in the
old plan Of fair, one exhibit got the big
end of IL.
Considerable interest has been shown
in the premium offered by the Dold
Packing Co., for market wagon hogs and
several wagers have been made as to
whether the hogs would have to be I'M
loaded when showing for this award.
Hogs showing for this premium will not
be unloaded, but will be judged IL the
