Fair and Driving Park Associ-
alton Take Up Work
FOR NEXT YEARS MEETING.
Board of Directors and New
Officers Were Elected
Monday Night.

The annual meeting of the STOCK holo
ers of the Dodge City Fair and driving
park association was held at the Phenix
club Monday night. The
majority of the stock holders were pres
ent and a lively interest in the affairs of
the association was manifested.
The stock holders could not help feel
ing gratified by the success of the initial
meeting last year and they are encour-
aged to attempt a big fair for the coming z
season.
The new board of directors has as
members a number of those who were
active in the work of last season and who
can profit by their former experience in
planning the fair for 1908. The new
board of nine members were selected by
the stock holders as follows:
@. NJ. Hoover, DIR. G. A. Milton, L. j .
Pettijohn, II. B. Bell, Sam Stubbs, a.
GIuck, S. Gallagher, G. O. Waring and
DIR. o. FL. Simpson
After the stock holders adjourned the
new board of directors held meeting
and organized by electing officers: L.
J. Pettijohn, president; DR.. G. A. Mil
ton, vice president; Sam Gallagher. Jr.,
secretary; A Gluck, treasurer. Andy
Falkner was elected,as track superinten-
dent.

would be given all subscribers to stock
who have not paid in their % per cent
assessment. Some of these subscribers
have never been called upon and have
been ready to take their stock at any
time. A few probably will not take the
stock, and after the thirty days expires
this stock will be sold to new parties.
The directors will have a representative
at the meeting of the Arka nsas Valley
ley circuit which will be held next
month, to look after the interests of the
Dodge City fair. The association here
VIII probably join the Arkansas Valley
circuit if the proper date can be secured
and other conditions are satisfactory.
There will be new improvements neces-
sary for this years meeting and the
board of directors will have considerable
work on their hands betweeen now and
fair time.

The recount of the ballots of the FIRST

The recount of the ballots of the first
commissioner district was conducted
Monday and Tuesday by Probate Judge
Finley, assisted by n. B. hlaine and
Geo. Laird. The recount left the result
practically the same although a good
number of defective ballots were found.
The contest originated from the admis-
sion of the election board In Ford town
ship that all tickets where crosses had
been placed In the square to the right Of
the words s'no pomiaatfon' had been
counted in that precinct, and staten ents
from other precincts that certain mutt
lated tickets had been counted. The re-
count in Ford township gave Mr.. Taylor
a net gain of votes. a question was
raised on Tuesday morning which caused
second count of Ford township which
resulted in gain of five more votes. AS
the vote stood then Mr.. Taylor would
have been elected, but in Bucklin pre-
cinct Mr.. Taylor lost a good number OF
votes. When all precincts had been re-
counted it was found that Mr.. Duncker
had a majority of a few votes. The Re-
publicans are satisfied with the recount
ana ,'-,elieve that Mr.. Duneker was fairly
elected. The recount removes any sus-
piciou that the mo nomination. ballots
counted in Ford township had any effect
upon the result in the election of commits
sioner and both parties probably feel
better satisfied since the recount has been
made.

MIR. Juneau Has fine Sample of Re-

Last week Mr.. III. Juneau received a
handsome present from Mr.. E. NJ. Mis-
ner of the State Reform school. It was
a heavy and elegantly finished single
harness. The work was done by two
Reform school boys under Is years of
age Mr.. Juneau while greatly pleased
with the present, was still more highly
pleased that this state Institution is do
ing such a great work among the boys.
IF the work done by these two boys a
sample of the efficient instrueting at the
reform school the people of Kansas have
every reason to be proud of this .institu-
tfon. Under the present management
the boys who sent to the reform
school not only receive beneficial instruc-
ton in matters of conduct but through
the excellent influence of the officers they
become possessed of honest ambition. The
boys who made the harness sent to Mr..
Juneau will leave the Institution in
short time competent workmen who are

TWO FAIR CIRCUITS.
Might Be Brought Together at the
Next Dodge City Meeting.

The good impression made among
horsemen by Dodge City at last years
meeting makes it possible to have a
meeting of more than ordinary interest
the coming year. The dates for the cir
cults east and west of here are not made
up yet. The Colorado circuit will prob
ably close about the time that the Arkan-
sas Valley circuit begins. IF it should
be possible for Dodge City TO get into
both circuits and bring the two together
here it would afford opportunity for
the biggest meeting of the year. MIR.
Sam Gallagher said last week that such
an arrangement might be posi- BILE if
properly looked after at the start. Dodge
City won reputation last ear at the in
itial fair meeting although it was an i'm
promptu arrang ement. 1t is the natu-

SOME ..OUT WEST" NEEDS.
j. n. Churchill Writes of Sugar Beets.
Prairie Dogs, Fire Guards and
Forestry Station.

| Prairie Dogs F ire Guards and
Forestry Station
| In answer to a call for suggestions for
the legislature, by the Topeka Capital
| the following letter was written hy j. III.
Churchiilof Dodge City:
! ~ should look to and re-
commend that the bounty no sugar
beets be continued by the state for
the coming two years. This is Que of the
infant industries of western Kansas
which needs encouragement. and L be-
Iieve it would be wise, although 1 not
a beet raiser myself, to let the bounty re-
main continue it for the next two
years at 81. 90 per ton.
L should also recommend that another
| appropriation be made for the extermi-
nation of prairie dogs. Ii is safe to say
| that since the poison prepared at
Manhattan and distributed to the farmers
and stockmen of western Kansas at a
nominal sum, millions of these trouble
some pests, destroyers of grass and crops
have been exterminated but the good
work should not cease, There are many
sections of western Kansas yet where
these prairie dogs are numerous, and 1t is
for the best interest of this western coun-
try that another appropriation be made
for the continuation of this good work.
There should also be some new legfs-
iation regarding the blowing of fire
guards by each township n the sections
through which the railroads run. At the
present there is uniform way of doing |
the work, but there has been good prog |
ress made IN the last four years by the |
townships, at least in Ford county, in |
plowing fire guards and thus keeping the |
fires which spread out from the railroad I
in a very small area. In mo- way can /
each township plowing its guards and
the different townships bearing the eX-
pense. The levy would be very small
There was a law passed to that effect,
but / believe it was declared unconstitu-
tional. But this is a matter for some
western representative to take up and |
work out and Introduce bill that will
make it compulsory for each township in
the counties exposed to prairie. fires to
plow their fire guards.
From all the information that I have
been able tc gather from time to time, |
the Forestry Station at Dodge City
should be maintained and so far as /
know. the one at Ogallah. The Forestry
station at Dodge City L know has been
the means of introducing many groves of
trees in southwest aud western Kansas.
The farmers have come in their wag-
ons and loaded up, and bundle after bun
die of trees have been shipped out by
freight, and the results now being
seen when takes a trip over the .
prairie.
And in connection with this forestry
business, I would like to say of the pres :
4nt Forestry Commissioner, Hon. r. M. !
w right who has charge of the forestry {
stations at Dodge City and Ogallah, that
o his supervision of the matters pertain
ng to these forestry, stations. L have yet
o hear the first complaint. 1t seems to
De conceded throughout the west by those ,
amiliar with the forestry stations that
