ways took a great interest in all work
Of an educational nature. She was
loved and respected by all as she had a
kindly and most agreeable nature and
disposition. Mrs. Barker was we'll read
and was woman Of much bredth Of
character. She was member of the
COngreg atiOnal church of Princeton, to

because of the fact that her father was
one Of the organizers and builders of
the church. During her residence in
Princeton she always took q deep in
terest in church work and in all educa-
tional and social doings. For twenty
five years she was member of the
church choir, and there was hardly
ever an entertainment but what Mrs.

part if occasion required her to do so.

ago in March,. He left considerable
property in Princeton at the time of
his death, and Mrs. Bankers share Of
the property included Rossmere addi-

which during the last few years has
greatly enhanced in value. Mrs., Bar

Good Base Ball Record.

The Blue Hill base ball nine has
made a very good record so far this
season, and out of fourteen games
played the boys have lost but one
game. On the Fourth they played
Santiago and defeated the Santiago
Agricultural Juniors by a score of
eight to nine. The game they played
with Germany in Princeton week
ago Sunday was won by a score of six
over the Germany lads. Northway and
South as box performers and Fred Mer-
gel as catcher have been doing very
good work.

THEBIG SEVENTH.
THEN

In 1871 when the Santa, Fe RAID
way company began its journey OF
road building across the continent II
stopped at Newton and turned south
to Wichita. 1t was afraid of the un-
tried west.
There was no habitation from New.
ton to Pueblo, except around the
military post at Dodge. The peace
full vocation of theft and the chase
carried on by the Pawnees was inter
rupted only by occasional incursions
of savage and bloodthirsty Cheyennes.
Hill and valley were bare, save for
the buffalo and the prairie grass.
Not tree or a shrub adorned the
broad bosom of the country, except
cfumps of willows and the more ma
jestic cottonwood which fringed the
Arkansas river.
The 34Great American Desert" was
the grazing ground of the buffalo and
the antelope.
Within the domain of this. Big
Seventh district is the greatest salt
deposit in the world.
More cattle feed on these plains
than any other section of the state.
The greatest wheat counties are
within its borders
One year Reno county distanced
all others as corn producer.
There are tropical products on the
southern border-cotton, tobacco and
peanuts.
Barber county is rich in deposits of
gypsum.
In Meade county there is a per
ennial flow of artesian water.
The counties in the far west prom
Use to rival Colorado as a sugar beet
section.
The Seventh district has a popula-
ton of 100000.
1t is dotted with fourishing cities
and thriving towns, and the truth is
not stretched much in the statement
that there is a schoolhouse on every
hill.
Fifty towns in the 'sGreat American
Desert" have electric lights and water
works, and farmers order their groc-
cries by telephone.
