The receipts Of car loads of mer-
chandise were l6O. an increase of "a

The increase in revenue to the com
pany for freight received last year
amounted to $l7, 200. 90: for freight re-
ceived and shipped out the increase
amounted to sl9,33l.OO over that of

There were handled at this station

The era of improved conditions
which commenced during 1905 will
continue in a more marked degree
throughout 1896. Land may not ad-
vance so rapidly in price, but it will
anvance steadily. Before the new
year has run its course the best farm
land will be selling at slDn.CO per acre:
range lands at $1,000 to sl5 90 per
acre.
There will also be boom in build
ing operations in the county which
will make those of 1905 seem insigni-
ficant. A new pressed brick church
building, costing $5.000.GO, will be
erected by the Methodist people in
Julesburg: business block and OPP
era house combined will be erected on
the corner of Cedar and Third streets
by Mark Burke, the well known cap
italist: this building will be either two
or three stories high and will cost be-
tween $20,00O.00 and 30.O0O. 90: elec-
trio lights and water-works plants will
be installed in Julesburg, and, most
important of all, sugar factory will
be built here during the year,
While the acreage of sugar beets
raised in Sedgwick county was only
tO0 in 1908 it can be increased to 1000
in 1906. And it will be increased to
this amount provided favorable
contract is secured from the sugar
company, which now seems probable.
With an acreage of 1000 there is nc
doubt but that a factory will be built
here to handle the crop.

which Sedgwick county is viewed by
outsiders, we republish below extracts

1T behooves us Americans to

kind of a CIVILIZATION, as that which
we intend to develop from these
wonderful new conditions of vast
industrial growth. 1t must not be,
it shall not be, the civilization of a

nor yet can there be submission to

mean the end of all civilization In

abuse as well as use; never before
have the opportunities for SELFISH
ness been so great nor the results. ..of
selhshness so appalling; for in ccm-
munitieswhere everythingis organ
lied on a merely selfish commercial
basis, such sel6shness, if uncheck-
ed, may transform the great forces
of the new epoch into powers of
destruction hitherto unequaled.
We need to check the forces of
greed, to insure just treatment
alike of capital and of labor, and
OF. the general public, to prevent
any man, rich or poor, from doing
or receiving wrong, whether lnis
wrong be one of cunning or of
