L. A. Allen Writes Of the Old Days

Regarding tho present cattlemen't

week.
Dodge City, the famous "Dodge,' of
other days, the days of the long -horned
cow.brute and the long haired cowman,
is once more TO come unto her own. The
wide open Dodge of frontier days isto be
wide open once more. Not that the sub
stantial little Southwest Kansas city is

ties of the "barkeeps', held sway by
virtue Of the six-sh0oter Dodge threw
off forever the yoke Of these tyrants
years ago. 1t took almost two decades to
accomplish this, and not until "Boot
hill" was spotted all over with lite
mounds which marked the last earthly
resting place of braves who met death
with their boots on, was Dodge free to
draw the breath Of confident quletuda.

doors and hides the keys, 1t Is that she
may give the world glimpse of the de-
parted glOres Of the old Dodge, Inviting

visitors back through the years from the

stores, TO thy infant Dodge, with Its
shanties, lnaks.shifts, tents and wagons,
which served 10 the days of Dodge'S
world renown as human habitations.
The live stockmen Of southwestern
Kansas cooperating with the residents
Of Dodge City have decided to hold con.

issued cordial invitation to all live
stock men, their relatives and friends,
and to oil persons interested In the cattle
industry Of that section to attend.
Dodge is a catlemau's town. Once the

the primary. The opinion prevailed re-
gardlng the telephone service that every.
one should give the matter attention.

The beginning Of a network Of phont
lines to cover the county, all connected
with an exchange In Dodge City hal
been started. Considerable work hat
been done at Howell, Bucklln and othel
places. With connections from Bucklln
and Ford with the Soldiers home, and
from Howell to Dodge City the lines
would soon branch out SO as to take in
the whole county.
Those who have been working on the
matter have about dispaired of getting a
fair switch late with the telephone eX-
change here and at the Second ward
meeting 1t was arranged that DR.. Sharp
be interviewed, 10 find If be was really
unwilling to make reasonable terms with
rarul phone lines. The opinion expressed
at the meeting was that if it was found
That no deal could De made with DR..
Sharp the matter should be taken up with
out bis help and pushed through.
The people of Fairview, Brown county,
were up against just such proposition.
By pulling together they arranged things
nicely aud now nearly every one In the
town and surrounding country have
phones connected wsth a central switch
board Not only have they surmounted
every difficulty but they have things
working more satisfactory and get their
telephone service at less expense than
perhaps any community In Kansas.
The movement there started just rs 1t
has here. Farmers wanted to have tele.
peone lines run into town. The local eX-
change would not make satisfactory
switch board rates. The people took
the matter up themselves. Farmers who
wanted phones paid in $50 and were
share holders to that extent. People In
town "Come 10" to the new company.
The lines were constructed and tele'
phone system owned by the subscribers
was soon In operation. One Of the
Rooney brothers, who own ranch In
the south part of this county, explained
the workings Of the Fairvew system to
Mr.. Grobety last week. Mr.. Rooney Is
from Fairylew and Is part Of the CO.
operative company. lie says that II now
costs The farmers 81 q year for a phone.
There are 200 phones and the cost Of
operating the system Is about $500 per
year. =

CATTLEMEN'S
CONVENTION,
Dodge City, the old time headquarters

Dodge City, the old time headquarters
of the COW men of the southwest, is full
of catIlemeu today The occasion of
( their visit is to confer together regarding
kan independent packing plant and an asso.
ciation for their mutual benefit. The home
st0Ckmen are also interested in securing
a cattIemen's convention on large scale
here next year, That the meeting has
attracted attention and that the move

the stOckmen of the southwest was at

fence their purchases resulted fora time In
clashes with stockmen who looked upon
the maintenance Of the free and untram-
meled range as one Of their natural and
primary rights. But the farmers triumph.
ed and the rangers retreated southwark
and southwestward But The farmers
we're not to enjoy their acquisitions In
anticipated measures, drOuths and hot,
blightng winds discouraged them and
caused them to abandon their lands or
rights in lands and 60 back to whence
they came. This took years, however,
and, in the meantime other sections hlth-
erlo enjoyed by the cattle interests as
open, common range were taken up. Sec
tion by section, township by township,
until little range but tue barren hills,
meas and mountains remained open for
their herds. AS consequence of the en-.
croachments Of the husband mans fences
upon them, the Gattlemen were COM
PEELED to secure private ranges, and large
tracts were leased or purchased from the
government and private owners for such
purposes. The plains afforded few better
ranges thanthat of the Arkansas river
valley. In additional to the natural
grasses, corn and alfalfa could be raised
along the river by means of irrigation.
The abandoned tracts of the farmers in
that part of Kansas were accordingly
purchased or leased by the cattle men
and Dodge Was once more catlleman's
town.
AS such SHE purposed to hold her own;
as u town with most interesting history
she does not propose to be forgotten by
the country at large, nor outslown by
other frontier cities Of the West In their
celebrations Of the days that were, March
81, will, therefore, witness The lnaugna-
ton of the reunion movement among the
old time cattleInen which may lead
eventually to the establishment Of a
Dodge City day as al annual event In
cattle circles.

fact did not in the least abate the
enthusiasm with which the delegates
participated In the proceedings OF the
last day of the greatest religious
gathering ever held In Detroit. Fol-
lowing the customary early-morning
devotional exercises there were prac-
ticaIly continuous sessions through
out the day in the Light Guard az
mory Spirited addresses by divines
and evangelists of national fame were
interspersed with short talks by lead
ers OF the young peoples movement
and by musical selections rendered
by the large chorus. In addition to
the general sessions in the armory
there we're interesting conferences
and farewell rallies in the several

convention purposes during the week.
The regular noon evangelistic service
attracted crowds of workers, who
Joined in the praise with a serious
ness that seemed to indicate regret
that today was the last day Of thu
convention. The many eminent Bap-
fist divines who have been among
the participants in the convention will
occupy the pulpits of churches Of all
denominations in Detroit tomorrow.
Some Of the visitors will turn their

LURFD TO DEATH
BY LOVE OF WATER

LOS ANGELES, Cal. July Sin
that weird. mysterious and terrifying
region known as Death valley have
occurred many deaths in many forms.
Just at present large numbers Of
persons are venturing into that fear
full sink. attracted by the wonderful
deposits of minerals known to abound
there, and the death list to the ac-
count of the valley is being rapidly
heightened. The latest death reported
is of an unknown man whose taking
off Is in keeping with the weird char
acter of the valley.
A part of five prospectors. includ-
ing Fred Marvel and Walter Burns

Devils Hole, when they discovered
ahead of them a man on horseback
heading for the same place. He SEEM
ed to be suffering, probably from the
heat and thirst, for arriving at the
bodily into the welcome water. He
did not reappear and when the party
arrived there was no trace of him to
be found
This pool is in a hole in the rocks
which, so far as is known, has no
bottom At the surface the water is
perfectly placid and there seems to
be no current, but when a stone is
dropped into the water it will be seen
to sink a certain distance in a natural
manner. then 1t is suddenly drawn
to one side of the pool, where it dis,

the mountain.
The party waited by the pool half
a day vainly hoping that there might
be some trace Of the lost man. but the
pool failed to give up its dead and
the body was undoubtedly being
whirled down some subterranean
river, never to return to the light of
