Asks for terminal grounds
i'm Winfield
COMMITTEE is AT WORK
Finding Out What the Grounds
Can be Purchased for
May appropriate

Last week the officers of the
fremont and Gulf Railroad Com
pany, consisting of Mr.. Robert
jerks, President; DR.. ID. j.
Bachelor, Vice President; Joseph
Juler, assistant to Vice President;
}. III. Scott, Chief Engineer;
N. ID. Patterson, Land Commits
sioner, and O. E. Smith, timber
man. visited our city in answer to
an invitation from the Progress
siye League and citizens of this
city. They were taken charge of
by the hu sitting Secretary of the
Progressive League, j. D. Pace,
and DIR. 1. Z. Siess, B. w. Bailey,
w. Nj. Wallace, j. T. Shell and
u representative of the Sentinel
and were driven to the oil well.
They were very much interested
and expressed themselves sur
prised at the formations and the
gas flow in that vicinity.
A mass meeting of the citizens
was called for Friday night to
give the citizens q chance to meet
these gentlemen, and hear from
them as to what they expected
of the city in the way of terminals
and right of way.
The meeting was called to order
by President l. E. Siess of the
Progressive League who called on
Mr.. jerks. President of the
fremont and Gulf Railroad, who
stated that they were after get
ting southern connections for
their railroad and they would like
to make these connections at
WINFIELD, and with that view
they have had preliminary
survey made into the town.
Mr.. jerks then called on Chief
Engineer Scott who explained his
survey by means of a sketch map
which he had drawn on the black
board, and which showed bis line
entering town on the east side in
the vicinity of the stave factory.
He stated that to come in on the
north would entail q greater
expense to the company to get in
and much greater expense to the
citizens, if they gave the right of
way, to get out. He answered
many questions put to him by
citizens.
The President of the Progress
sive League was authorized to
instruct the right of way commit
tee, composed of J. D. Pace, B.
w. Bailey. J. T. Shell, r. H.
Fletcher and G. p. Long, to see
the property holders on the line
as shown by Mr.. Scott, and see
what the property holders on the
proposed line would expect and
report back to the League.
After several speeches by cit
liens the meeting adjourned amid
considerable enthusiasm.
The committee has been at
work to secure the grounds
needed for the proposed ter
minals, but up to date practically
nothing has been accomplished.
There seems to be q disposition
on the part of some of the
property holders to demand more
than the committee thinks the
property is worth, and the matter
may have to be settled by expro-
priation proceedings IN the courts.

Sir Thomas Lipton says he
owes his success TO aaveH-

They say that in those early
days he bought the two biggest !.

Reception to Bryan
Causes DiSsention

NEW YORK. June I5.-The Bryan re-
ception committee IS having all Il can
do to prevent a serious split among its
members which might end the entire
reception plans. The plans are halted
by the problem OF naming a committee
on plan and scope which will satisfy all
the different sets Of Democrats. A half
dozen or more men have already refused
TO serve on the reception committee.
The latest trouble has come from the
Hearst followers. II was reported that
the Hearst men had sent an urgent
cable message to Mr.. Bryan advising
him not 10 accept the reception and
warning him that IL was a trick of the
plutOCratS TO chain him TO their chariot
In order 10 quiet the Hearst men. Mr.
Hearst himself was offered a place on
the committee of ten on plan and scope
He would not say that he would accept
He was finally told that he might name
half the members OF the committee IL
he so desired. The policy of the Hearst
men has been to discourage the recep-
ton.

The Keep Commission. IL 3 said, has
reached it's decisions cOncer ing the de-
partment clerks of Washington, and, on
the whole. has treated them with con-
sideration.
The commission has submitted its final
report to the Civil Service Commission
eTs for any further suggestions that
body may wish to make. The Keep
Commission was appointed more than a
year ago TO review the general situation
IN all the departments and to suggest
anything possible to cut out unnecessary
expense and red tape in the performance
of the Governments work.
So far as the clerks are. concerned
the commission has decided that It will
be all right and proper to have them
work from . in the morning until 4:3C
in the afternoon Also It is thought by
the commission that they should have
thirty days leave annually.
Sick Leave Cut Down.
sick leave" the much talked OF Is
sue, got a heavy blow, for the commits
sion has decided that each clerk shall
be entitled TO only ten days sick leave
each year This leave. however, must
be cumulative. That is. If a clerk uses
only three days this year for sick leave,
he can have seventeen da-s the next
year. and so forth. This is 20 encourage
clerks in outstanding their sick leave and
not using It unless absolutely compelled
to.
On the haIf-holiday question. upex-
pected generosity was shown by the
commission. Its report recommends that
half-holiday be given every Saturday
afternoon the year round, instead OF
only in the sumnIer months, as is now
the rule.
Congress 10 Pass Judgment
It Is thought by a majority OF the
authorities that these recommendation
will have to be sanctioned by Congress
before they are put into effect. II Is
certain that the one curtailing the sicl
leave will have to receive the approva
of Congress. as sick leave is fixed BY
Congress at present at thirty days.
