ReveaIs Western Future q Great System,
and Then by Cartoon Represents
GOOdland Shops Being Drawn
From LaJunta- to Denveri

Life viii always be pleasant and
worth living in GOOdland If every i'm
pending calamity shall be as soon re-
lieved by the righteousness and humor
of the situation as is illustrated in an
article and cartoon IN the Denver News
OF Saturday and Sunday, relative to the
removal of the Rock Island shops from
GOOdland to Denver.
The first shock under large headlines
was on Saturday and read thus:
According to a Observation-Disclosures
report received in Denver yesterday, the
Rock Island shops are to Be moved
from GOOdland, Kan, to Denver, as
part of the progressive plans which
have been inauguratec by B. F. Yoakum
and his associates.
sit is positively asserted that the
Rock Island has already fully secured
its Denver terminals, and that the Colo
RADIO and Eastern franchise and right of
way is the prize which they have OBJ
tanned. The building of this line from
Denver to LimOn Junction, which is
now IN progress, is the Rock Island s
connecting link, and the work is being
done under the direction of the Rock
Island"
The merry cartoon, which doeth good
like a medicine, appeared the next day.
The shops, already on a truck wagon
drawn by one man, were en- route t0F
an Easter present. Denver's mile-post
was in view, and in the distance was
LaJunta, Colo, where the Goodiand
shops were loaded!
The Denver News has moved the
GOOdland shops away so often that
GoOdland people are immune from fur
ther sensational infection.
The fact of the matter is the Rock
has no track from Limon to Denver
and are building none; and are not
going to hang a big shop industry on
the end of another comPanY's road.
About year ago a prominent Rock
Island official, in speaking of this mat
ter, said that the traffic arrangements
with the Union Pacific were satisfactory.
The inference is that the Rock Island is
going to let good enough alone.
The Rock Island management has
even chosen to make this point of in
creasing importance. More work is be-
ing done here now than ever before in
the history of the GoOdIand shops. Ad-
ditiOnal supply houses were built last
year; the round house was enlarged;
the shop room more economically ar
ranged. Where possible cars to be
iced, for instance, are run through
| Falrbury and Phillipsburg and ordered
supplied at GOodland. A small break
on a car further east is worked through
to GOOdland and fixed here. Goodland
| today rivals the Horton shops and has
the reputation of doing better work.
It is also a freight transferring point for
/ both east and west.
The shops are not so great a neces-
| sity to GOOdland as GOodland, as a To-
cation, is a shop necessity to the ROcl
Island, and the Denver bugabOo is the
Jthinnest kind of air.

that he was 81 years Of age and IN good

cally capable and did earn for the sup

have lived twenty years longer If he had
not been killed. Mrs. Berry then al
leges that she has been damaged by de-
PENDANTS in the sum of $40, 900 and costs
of suit.
In the second case the plaintiff is
Viola @. Berry, widow and admins
tratrix of Alpheus W. Berry, who, 1t is
charged, was also killed on June 3, 1903,

cited above. Viola Berry also claims
damages upon the grounds of loss of
her husbands support, and Prays for a
judgment of SO, 900.

ants first mentioned in this article IS
brought for Sc, 500, to compensate him
for injury by gunshOt wound received
on June 3, 1903, which tore of a part
of his right ear, broke his Jaw bone,
knocked out some of his teeth, and for
other permanent disfgurements to his
face.

FOUR INCHES or RAIN FALLS
sHERHAE COUNTY VISITED BY A con
TMU0Us RAIN FOB TWO DAYS.
Crops Were in No Need OF Moisture, but
the Last Soaking win Rush the
Growth Of wheat and Make the
Grass Good.

Sherman county has enough moisture
IN the soil TO keep crops growing for a
month without suffering from dry
weather. If the record for rainfall keeps
up, however, It is likely that consider
able more moisture viii fall before the
end Of May.
The last rain, which is estimated to
have let free about four inches Of water
on the level, began Saturday night and
continued heavily all day Sunday and
the greater part Of Monday. 1t was a
general rain, and of the manner of pre-
cipitation that does the country the
most good, and which, II seems reason
able to suppose, is becoming more and
more characteristic Of these plains.
There was no electrical display and no
heavy wind. The clouds ,dTifted from
southeast to northwest, and the atmOs-
pheric conditions were very favorable
J. F. Kimmel, who lives four miles
west of town, measured the rail fall by
the use Of tin pail. He made allow
ance, by mathematical calculation, for
the fare IN the vessel, and arrived at
the conclusion that 4. "a inches Of rain
fell Sunday and Monday. Mr.. Kimmel
said that empty tin fruit cans standing
out IN the storm were filed to overflow
ing, which indicates that the figures are
correct.
The wheat in some fields IS six inches
high, and the condition Of crops gen
orally is around the 100 per cent mark.

ROCK ISLAND GETS NUDGE.
General Manager OF the Santa Re to Be
come Second Vice President


A Chicago dispatch dated April 10
says that the Rock Island system has
taken another fall out of the Santa Fe.
Some time ago President Wincheu Sc
cured Freight Traffic Manager Biddle,
Of the Santa Fe, and made him first
vice president IN charge Of all traffic.
Now he has selected General Manager
Nudge, Of the Santa Fe, to be second
vice president in charge Of the operation
of all the lines OF the system. He viii
take charge May 1, or as soon thereafter
as he can close up his Santa Fe duties
H. U. Nudge was born IN Michigan,
but went to Kansas as a boy. He soon
found work as a messenger for an agent
Of the Santa Fe IN a western Kansas
town. After this he was agent, con-
ductOr, rOadmaster, dispatcher, train
master, division superintendent general
superintendent and finally general
manager Of all the Santa Fe lines north
of Texas and east of Arizona. He IS
still young man IN spite Of his most
arduOus work for the Santa Fe through
more than a quarter of a century.
He will be a great loss to the Santa
Fe, but a great gain to the Rock Island
He and Mr.. Biddle, after their many
years together on the Santa Fe viii
surely do great work with Mr.. Win
cheH towards bringing the Rock Island
to the high mark in its history. They
have won their recognition without pull
or special help of any kind on their
merits as masters Of any work given
them to do, and the Rock Island has
every reason TO expect them to continue
this style Of work.
Mr.. Nudge succeeds Mr.. Stevens, who
resigns from the Rock Island to give
undivided attention to his private for
tune.

GROWTH IN DAIRY BUSINESS.
n. z. Cain, superintendent for COntinen-
tai Creamery Co, Tells Of His Territory.

d. = Ca1us superintendent Tor COnt1nen-
tai Creamery Co, Tells Of His Territory.
H. E. Cain, superintendent of is
counties, between PhilliPsburg and
Colorado Springs, for the Continental
Creamery company, with headquarters
at Colby, was in GOOdland, Saturday
on trip of inspection of the company
skimming stations.
Mr.. Cain said that the remarkable
growth Of the dairy industry IN his
territory was evidenced by the fact that
whereas four years ago It had % skim
ming stations, but now II has only two.
In the beginning of the industry in this
part Of the country, there were few if
any cream separtOrs in individual use,
all the patrons having to haul their
milk to the skimming station and have
If separated there.
But now, with only two exceptions, all
skimming stations are simply receiving
stations for cream. Nearly every farmer
that does any dairying has a cream
separator Of his own. He runs his own
skimming station at home and there
fore does not have to 60 to market so
often or haul back separated milk, and
the butter fat sales are larger than ever
before.
Mr.. Cain said that the Continental
company paid out S32, 900 IN Sherman
county last year for butter fat.
