GREATER GREAT BEND.

The object the writer of this article
has in view is to arouse a stronger
desire la our citizens TO do all they
can to make Great Bend better
tosa and prettier town. Let each
one strive TO improve their property
by setting out shade trees, and flowers
aud keeping things tidy. These things
cost but little money and later add
much to the appearance of our town,
and make favorable impression on
the stranger that may be looking for
a location.
Located as our town is there is no
good reason why it should not be
made the main distributing point for
the western half of the state Let US
see if we eau get cur two Rail Roads
connected, and get the northwest and
southern R. R. that is being worked
up, to make this a point on its line.
Do not take il for granted that they
will make this point on their line
without our aid.
We know of cases where mistakes
have been made in just that way. We
can not make an inland city without
rail roads, and the more r. RS the
better.
Now to show what a little grit and
money has done we will cite you to
town in the east.
This town twelve years ago had a
population of between five and six
thousand, two rail roads owned by the
Big Four Co. They desired to make
the town division point, and pro-
posed to do so if the people of
the said town would raise them
one hundred thousand dollars. The
proposition was accepted, the shops
were built, the town took new lease
on life and has been growing steadily
ever since; has population of ten
J thousand, fine water works, electric
lights, principal streets paved, electric
ii street cars, an inter-urban road. and
several others on the way; a new
steam rail road, a score or more of
manufacturing plants located and
others knocking at the door for adj
mittance
. The Big Four R. R. Co. is paying
out at this town to its employees thirty
five thousand dollars per month, the
greater part of which is spent in the
town.
Do you think the citizens of this
town would be willing to take back
their 100000 and be set back to
where they were twelve years ago.
No, they would vote unanimously
against it. The R. r. people have
added tens of thousands of dollars to
the tax list.
Do we hear some one say it will in
crease our taxes? That is very true, it
2 will do so, but at the same time ii
will increase the value of your prop
r ertY. If you have dwelling houses or
, business houses to rent you will get
| more rent for the same.
Do we hear others say ooh have
! a plenty to live on. the rest of my
time and am content to let matters
drift as they will come" Brothers, let
us take a more liberal view of the
case, and gives others that are not in
as good circumstances a chance to
improve their financial conditions.
We live this life but once, let US do ali
the good to our fellow men we can
while here. A Greater Great Bend
will increase the value of the surround.
