WE'RE IN THE LEAGUE.
Base Ball. as Good as Can be Seen
Anywhere, for Great Bend.

The Great Bend Base Ball Associa-
ton has completed arrangements and
joined the Kansas State League. The
league is now composed of the follow
ing towns: Hutchinson, Minneapolis,
Ellsworth. Kingnan, Lincoln and
Great Bend. All of these teams will
play series of games at this city
with Great Bend, and our team will
play return games at each of the
other cities. The first of the League
games will be played here with
Hutchinson Friday and Saturday of
this week. A game was scheduled for
Thursday, but as there was consider
able work to be done to put the
grounds in proper shape this game
was called off, and will be made up
at some future time.
Catcher Carl Moore will continue
as manager of the Great Bend team,
ana with the players that we have,
and those which will be added later
on. this city will have a ball team
that will make the others in the
League think there is something do
ing from now on.
There will be fast ball. There will
be clean ball. There will be series
of games that are worth attending,
and we believe that everybody in this
town and county will rally royalty to
the support of the boys who will
hold up our honor and keep Barton
county in the lead in base ball as she
is in everything else.

AMENABLE TO FEDERAL LAW

Topeka, July 6.-ofhcial statement
from Washington, made by Bank
Examiner Bradley, in regard to tie
First National deposits made last
Friday and Saturday and placed in
seperate envelopes by the officials,
says the money will not be returned
TO the depositors forthwith. When
asked if this decision rendered the
officials liable under the Federal laws
for prosecution in accepting deposits
when they knew the bank was in a
failing condition, Mr.. Bradley said
that was matter for the courts to
decide.

EVERYBODY GET BUSY.
That is What the Fair Association is
Doing. Do Likewise,

That is certainly what the Barton
County Fair Association people are
doing. if there is anything they are
not doing which is in their power 10
do to make the coming fair the best
there ever was in the state, they
would like to be put next.
At meeting held Tuesday morn
ing the 2:35 stake races, both pacing
and trotting were reopened and will
be held open until August 1st. In ad.
dition three year old trot has been
put in for purse of $500, And at a
meeting held Wednesday evening two
five mile relay races were authorized,
for $3.50 purses. One of these is to be
for branded COW ponies without a
running record only, and the other is
open to the world. These races are
said to be as exciting as anything of
that kind gets, and will draw a very
large crowd from points west Of
here.
Another effort the association is
putting forth is to hook up with the
thoroughbred breeders associations
for portion of the money appropri-
ated for Kansas fairs by those as
soclations. If the attempt is success
full, with the competition open to the
world, we should have a number of
herds of fine cattle here, and that
would certainly be drawing card.
Taken all in all, the officers are
doing the best they can. The success
of the association will depend on the
interest the people take in it. We can
make it the biggest, largest, best
county fair in the state, or we can do
the other thing.
Barton county is THE county in the
state, Great Bend is THE town, let us
push her to success with a vim that
will do US all good. Farmers, bring
in your products, cattle men and live
stock raisers of all kinds your herds.
The thrifty housewife your fancy
work, and fruits and jelIies; and let
US have holiday, show the best we
have, have good time, and feel
better towards one another ever
after. Get busy in the interests of the
fair.

Root to Accept.

Washington, July Cit has been
reported here that Ex-Secretary of
War Root has signifed willingness
to accept the state portfolio.
The acceptance of Elihu Root of
the position of secretary of state in
the Presidents Cabinet is expected
to be announced tomorrow. 1t is be-
iieved that he asked little time in
order that he might return retainers
amounting to large sums of money
and get freedom from pledges given
influential clients. The possibility of
the administration booming Root for
president instead of Taft is being
seriously discussed.

Sixth Annual County to September

these elections will determine the
whole matter. If the bonds are
voted the road will be built and taat
without delay. If the bonds fail the
route will be changed to some more
friendly line.
! There has been very little railroad
| building in Kansas the past fifteen
years. The east and west trunk lines
have monopolized the field and die
tated freight and passenger rates and
moulded legislation to their own inter
ests. They have maintained mutual
agreements to keep out of each others
territory and many communities suffer
today from lack of railway facilities
with but little hope for relief. The
building of the Panama Canal and
the growing commercial Importance
of the gulf ports naturally attract capi-
tai in that direction, but we may ex-
pect nothing but obstruction and op-
position from the present trunk lines
or from Wall Street interests. The
Great Bend and Gulf is entirely inde-
pendent of all such connections or
influences. 1t is not being promoted
by any existing railway system and
the men back of it are ambitious to
keep it clean and free from artificial
initiation. They can expect no valu-
able land grants from the government
Many localities are without the legal
power to extend aid from having
voted the limit to other roads. How
ever, if those who can will do their
full duty and show the proper public
spirit, there can yet be voted sufficient
aid to secure the road, but this can
only be done by harmonious and
united action all along the line. 1t is
a great enterprise. Il is our op-
portunity. Now that it is actually
beng checked up to the people let
the people put their shoulders to the
wheel and with long pull, strong
pull and pull all together, give an
overwhelming majority for the bonds
all along the line.
