"As the buds Of spring again begin to

we are reminded of our duties as COM
rades living to our comrades dead, as
well as the duty enjoined upon us by the
well established customs Of our order
the observance of Memorial day. One
year ago there were many comrades with

Friends on the Subject.

Mr., Webb Writes His Ford COUNTY
Friends on the Subject.
The following letter from Mr. Il. d
Webb who was formerly superintendent
Of the schools here, and who still has the
deepest interest in his friends AM
The affairs of Ford county.
Boulder. Colo,, Apr. ", 1908.
To my Ford county friends
I notice some discussion Of the Higl
School question in both the SpearVlll
and the Dodge City papers,
| do not wish to take part in the con
troversy, but would like to have all th'
people of town and country unite OIL
whatever policy will prove to be the bes
for the schools.
Many of the best students come from
the country. Some of them have woI
highest honors in High School work.
The town has never so far ms my know
ledge goes charged any tuition to pupil
outside of the district. There have beer
many outside pupils attending Dodge
City schools. This looks like a llbera
policy on the part Of the town.
Ford county boys and girls are worthy
Of the best that can be given them. More
can be done for them by a united than BY
a DIVIDED effort.
The reflex influence Of good schoO
will prove of great benefit to both towr
and country. Ishould think the burden
Of maintaining such school could be
equiiably distributed. AT least hope
that whatever action may be taken the
highest educational interests may be sub
served. Very respectfully,
E. D. WEBB.

SURVEYORS
ARE At WORK,
Everything Still Looks Good
For Cut Off.

And win Continue on West
to Albuquerque.
WILL GO NEAR SANTA FE

The cutoff proposition stlll points as
nearly toward certainty as 1t will Of
could until the building Is in actual pro.
gress. The locating engineers office
is busy here, and the surveying corps Il
at work southwest Of town. 1t ID
understood that the surveyors will begin
on the old Montezuma line at a point
shout fifteen miles southwest Of Dodge
City and Twill run a line from there to
Albuquerque. The line, it is understood,
will 90 through Haskell and Stevens
counties, missing the town Of Santa Fe
q few miles.
There is still nothing official In the re.
port Of the new road, but the fact Of
the present proceedings almost warrant
the cutoff from Dodge City being Ger.
tainty.
Besides this, other things have occurred
which show that II the cutoff IS not
built some who at least should be on the
4'inside," will be as badly deceived as the
general public. Certain d0als have been
made that have pretty well clinched the
belief that the company has decided
deflnately to build from this point.
While the building Of this cutoff will
not be such great help to Dodge City
as some believe II will make q larger
town here and be a benefit in a number
Of ways. The first and perhaps the
greatest benefit will be to insure the
the town not being left off Of the through
California line.

DODGE CITY WINS.
Home Ball Team Still Holds lts Rec

ord of no Defeats.
A Hutchinson -Halstead.S Sterling Great
Bend. Ellinwood combination came to
Dodge City yesterday to leave the ma
tives wondering how 1t happened. The
Dodge City team chewed the visitors up
and are ready for the next Victims The
game was barely even enough to be In
terestiDg. Parish's buzz saw separated
most Of the visitors from the bat like
saving cheese.
The game opened with the visitors In
the lead. At the close of the first half OF
the third inning the score stood 2to y
against Dodge City. This didn't look
good to Louie Schmidt. He got a stick
and cantered bis angular form to the
plate. Pickett whzzed the ball through
and bis catcher went through the motion
Of cllnching 1t, but Louie gave bis hips a
hitch and his spine q twist and the bat
played whip cracker landing on the ball
80 hard that it went soaring to the VI
entity Of Chalk Beesons pasture. 1t was
then that Louie ducked his head and got
bis feet busy. He surged away like a
prize bucking broncho at busting. He
ran with his legs and bis arms and famed
through space until the rapid current al
most froze his ears. He pulled in to the
starting place before the ball could travel
back by the relay stations formed by
helders, shortstop, pitcher and catcher
After that 1t was easy. Parrish followed
Loule's route with stopover privileges by
a safe bit and Kilbourn bid in the two
first bags with good solid slug squarely
on the east side Of the ball. Kilbourne
and Green made a trip each in the fifth
inning and the score was left at 5.
Pickett got in run for the visitors In
ninth inning which left the result of the
game 5 to 3 in favor of Dodge City. The
home team thought it would look better
that way. 1t may help them to get a
game with good team.
