New System for the Dodge City
Exchange
WITH OUTSIDE CONNECTIONS.
Long Distance Network of Tel
ephone Lines Will Soon
Reach Here.
Hello Kansas City, Hello Topeka

Hello Kansas City, Hello Topeka
Hello Central, give me Chicago.
1T sounds peculiar but it will soon be
familiar note. Dodge City is taking
another hitch forward. In two months
more she will be talking the outside
world. The news will be received CRATE
fully by a large number of different
kinds of people The home business
men viii be able to sschn up'' people in
other towns in disposing of business
matters. The commercial travellers Will
be able to call up the business men from
other points. The stock men can talk
deals over the long distance and often
gain two or three days time and perhaps
get profitable deals through which they
might miss entirely if they waited to
make a trip. to write letter and re-
ceive answer. 1t will be a business
convenience which will be appreciated
by all and it will increase the business
importance of the town considerably.
DIR. Sharp is to take possession of the
exchange here on September first and it
is understood that he intends to have
things working shortly after that time.
The long distance line Will be built in
from Larned between now and the first
of September. The long distance lines
with which the Larned exchange is in
connection is now connected far east
as Topeka The towns between here and
Topeka can be reached soon as the
connection between Larned and Dodge
City is made. There are also numerous
connections TO towns north and south all
along the line. Some of the independ-
ent exchanges have network of phones
all oyer the county in which they are
located. The system which will be put
in in Dodge city will be Stromberg-
Carlson, which is one of the most per-
feet system that can be secured and the
phones, no doubt, will be used by the ma
jofiIy of reside nces ia town, and by the
principal ranches in the county. A per-
son who has not made close investiga-
ton has little idea of the extent to which
the long distance phone is used now in
every day business affairs Frequently
at many places the lines completely
clogged which shows that the long dis
tance telephone is a convenience to large
numbers of people. The automatic sys-
tenn now in use here will be relegated to
the service of some smaller town where
it will fill the demand for limited mum :
ber of phones.

Dodge City has boy in the U s
navy who has the making of u hero. Ii
is George Bartlett of O. V. Bartlett
Almost year ago George came to his
father one day and told him he wanted
TO leave at once to enlist in the navy
Then MIR. Bartlett discovered that the lad
who was then Is years of age had been
conducting correspondence and had
arrangements practically made for en-
tering upon his apprenticeship in the
navy. Mr.. Bartlett concluded that as the
lad was so desirous of entering the navy
that he should not withhold his consent
Nearly year has gone by now and
George Bartlett has not regretted his
choice. More than that lie has sho we'd
himself adapted to the work and has
pleased the officers ia charge. Life On q
training ship is not altoe ther a pleasure
excursion, and the average boy would
have grown weary OF it long ago. When
George writes to the boys here who
think that they would like to be in the
navy he tells them that he will ne t all
wise them one way the other. lie
saws that it suits him and that lie will
stay there, and insists that the other boys
decide for themselves. George expects

LOST MONEY RETURNS
AFTER IT'S FORGOTTEN.

A young lady who was walking near
the banks of the classic Sawlog a few
days ago saw something lying upon the
ground that looked like money. 1t look
ed SO very much like money in fact that
she took the trouble to examine IT, 1t
proved to be money, three or four bills
waflded together The above incident
has since proved TO Dodge City boy
that the Sawlog people are perfectly hon.
est. and also that he has more than
ordinary luck.
some time ago We1by Rice went to
the sam Mullendore place on the Sawlog,
and purchased a pony. On the way

windy enc and as he could dnd no trace
Of the lost money he naturally concluded
that is was blowing about some place in

lady few days ago was the same Welby

him. Ii any one cOntemplates losing
money that neighborhood IL the place 20
