win Run PlOws Through and
Cultivate It.
Good Wheat Territory All
Around This County.

Atwood, July 1S.-The recent sale of
the wen known Rockefeller ranch in
Rawlins county to Saum & Purcell of
Wakeeney. Saum & Dixon of Kansas
City. and J. B. Case of Abilene, is
looked on with favorable comment
from the pioneers of Rawlins county,
IS tending to the immediate develop
nent of one of the richest and most
favored sections of Rawlins county and
northwest Kansas.
This same land was brought into
prominence when it was known as the
Dewey ranch. 1t embraces over I, 900
acres. and has been heretofore used
Tor grazing instead of farming pur-
poses. While the new owners of the
property will sell the entire tract in a
body, 1t is their wish to cut it I'D in
quarter and half sections, and open
1t up for farming purposes. The large
majority of the land is level a S a floor,
ana 1t is claimed that a pillow could be
started around the outside of the tract
and continue to the place of beginning
without taking it out of the ground.
1t Is the purpose of the men who have
come into possession of 1t. to cut it
UP In farms and put it on the market
at once. 1t is all good wheat land.
Rawlins is among the best counties in
the northwest part of the state, and is
rapidly settling up. Crops have been
generally good for the last several
years. and the present prospects are
that the wheat and alfalfa yields in the
county this year will outstretch all
previous records. The people of At
wood are. much pleased over the sale
OF this famous ranch, and believe it
will result in great good to the COM
merefal interests of this place.

viii Race Up the Steep Slopes OF
Mt. Washington.
There Are Many Dangers on the
Tedious Route.
HOW RECORD WASMADE
Harry HI. Hardness Drove Over
Terrible Roads.
Unfamiliar to Him, He Often
Hung Over Cliffs.

New York, July 1S.-That climb to
the clouds which started Monday
promises to be a record breaker also.
The record of 24:37 2-5, held by Harry
Hardness and made in a sixty horse
power car, promises to go by the
board, for cars are entered of as great
horsepower and with drivers perhaps
as nervy as Mr.. Hardness. The per
haps" is used because when Mr.. Hark-
ness, with millions of dollars at his
command, risked neck and limb and
life for cups last year, he made Their, a.
wonderfully daring drive. =. On the way
having had no previous training for
the effort. he bounded from side. to
side of the road. striking the mountain
side on the left and rebounding to
knock big stones into the yawning
chasms to the right. At one time the
front VIII of his machine hung
dangerously over the cliff and he look
ed 1000 feet below him to the canyon
and certain death. Yet he made no
complaint and took all the dangers as
a matter of course. ~
The chances of any one endeaHoring
to do the same thing this year in just
the same way are few and far between,
as the competitors have, been on the
ground for some days learning the turns
and twists of the road and marking
the dangerous spots. OF course a
broken steering knuckle. a burst tire
or any one of a dozen incidents may
precipitate the daring driver into the
depths, yet all were willing and anx-
ious to take the chance and are against
the changing of the course from the
eight-mile climb to the suggested two
mile climb up Mount Willard. The
Mount Washington road is eight miles,
as a crow flies. from the Tip Top house
and the finishing point. 1t rises about
400 feet to the mile on the average
and the steepest points rise Is per
cent.
At times the man who breaks the
record must do over thirty miles an
hour. at other times he can do but
eight, and his average must be twenty
miles to the hour, or three minutes to
the mile, all the way. En- route he
passes through deep woods. then as
cends above the timber line and then
passes through the clouds. At the top
he may find bright sunshine or he may
run into a snowstorm. The changes
at the top are very sudden. "A squall
may set in after the start of a car.
! Telephones all along the line at two
mile points enable the hundreds of
spectators at the top to keep track of
the contestants. who go UP one at a
time.
