TO BIZ STRICTLY
INDEPENDENT.
The Great Bend and Gulf Will
Be Free From Other Roads.
\ WESTERN ENTERPRISE.

The lncorporatorS OF The Great
Bend and Gulf Railway Company
propose to build and operate their
line Strictlyas an independent system.
They positively affirm that they are
not moving in the interest Of any
railroad company now in existence.
As an earnest Of their good faith they
point to the fact that while the various
interests identified with their move
ment represent vast amount of sur
plus capital seeking clean invest
ment, yet as matter of fact no rail-
road man is a member of their syndi-
cate. They have actually barred
anybody and everybody who are in
any way connected with any existing
railway system. They realize the
danger that threatens every new en-
terprise that clashes with the hnan,
cial interests that revolve about Wall
Street.
Every trunk line of railroad now in
operation on the continent finds its
handspring in the city Of New York
The men behind the Great Bend and
Gulf are western men. They believe
in the possibilities Of this great west,
with its immense wheat fields, its
Aocks and,herds, its mines and forests.
They believe in the untold poSsibili
ties Of a great north and south trans
portation system with an outlet on
the Gulf to feed the fleets that are
sure to!grow and thrive on a vast
commerce fostered by the building of
the Panama Canal. They believe
that sucn system, to succeed and to
endure, must be kept independent Of
all other existing systems whose
interests are directly at variance with
the proposition they are seeking to
promote.
To this end they propose to safe
guard their interests in every way
possible by human agencies. They
propose to place all their stock in a
trusteeship, to be held and handled
without the..power of alienation, SC
that their stock will not be placed up
on the market where it might be &C
CURED by opposing systems. They
also propose to build their road with
out bonding it ftr dollar, thus pro
tecting it from foreclosure, receiver
ships, and, other covert attacks d
their enemies. They will leave no
stone unturned to guaranty the per
petual independence Of the road.
They expect opposition from those
whose territory is invaded. In the
first shOrtIlink of ninety miles, from
Great Bend to Medicine Lodge, the,
cross the lines of the Santa Fe hv,
times, the Missouri Pacific three
times and.the main line Of the Rocl
Island System once. This makes
crossing of some east and west line
once in every tenlmiles on the aver
age. Some conception may thus b
gained Of the task urdertakenby thi:
Company.
They can only succeed by the aid
encouragement and support Of tn
people most vitally affected, thos'
who live along their proposed line
If they make i, win it means love
freight rates, higher prices for fEr
products, better markets and a gen
eral development Of all our inGpstri;
resources. 1t is great oppostuuit
now knocking at our door. Shall W

UNITY IN STYLE
Of NEW SCHOOLS
BOARD OF EDUCATION MAY
SAVE MONEY
EXPERTS EXPRESS OPINIONS
. Superintendent of Buildings May Be
Chosen to Supervise the Erec-
ton of All New
Structures
EXPERTS EXPRESS OPINIONS

AT the request of the board of educa-
tion E. T. Johnson, 1. N. Van Nuys
and Homer Laughlin met with the
board yesterday afternoon to discuss
the best and most economical methods
of building. 1t was the desire of the
board of education to gain the benefit
of the experience of these men before
beginning the construction of a num-
ber of new school buildings which are
TO be put up this season.
1t was informally decided to adopt
one style of architecture and build the
building in units of four rooms, so that
if building of four or eight rooms was
necessary at first it could be built, and
IL more room was necessary later on
another unit of four rooms could be
added and the symetry of the entire
structure remain.
The board decided that hereafter all
rooms in grammer school buildings
shall be 26x32 feet. +nis will further
aid in carrying out the unit system.
The opinion of the experts appeared to
be that an architect should be called
upon 10 ueSlSn pidHS LOT SUCH Il puiIu-
ing as was considered best, on the unit
system, and then the board could create
the position of superintendent of con-
struction and he could handle the spec"
ifications and make them up for any
size building from the one plan.
Thus the expense of an architect for
each building would be eliminated. The
last board expended 100000 in archi-
tects' fees alone, but the present board
thinks this could be saved by hiring a
first-class superintendent at perhaps
$4,000 year.
The men called in as experts gave as
their opinion that brick buildings
should be erected instead of frame and
that the best grade of gravel roofing
should be used.

Sealskin is admired the world over for

man hair is equally soft and glossy when
healthy and the radical cause of all hair
trouble is dandruf which is caused by a
pestiferous parasite that saps the vitality
OF the hair at its root. Newbros Herpicide
is the only preparation that is fatal to the
dandruf germ. Without dandruf there is
no falling hair but luxuriant growth of
