Riding from GOOdland in any di-

seen garden spOtS-farmers' homes

fertile plains, wrinkled here and there
with the beds Of streams that give it
drainage No one can remain indif-
ferent to the whisper Of possibility or
OF prophecy as it comes TO him as he
rides over such a territory which al
ready Is giving up an earnest OF the
Opulence soon at hand II was no
vain imagining the editor Of this pa
per saw in his trip Saturday afternoon
to the home Of William Kuhrt, Is
miles northeast Of GOOdland. but
written in the land by the hands Of
the farmer. Change is taking place in
western Kansas The once uninter-
rupted roads cross lots or along the
lines Everywhere fences have sprung
points have, within the last few years
been forced more and more to section
lines Of shortest distance between two

corn, wheat, barley, alfalfa, gardens
better barns and farmhOuses- But
even now this broad and wonderful
county has scarcely been touched
with the plOw- Since succesSeS-One
after another in continuous series
have already been wraught out upon
our farms. what may be expected, we
ask, when one-half Of Sherman coun-
ty lies under the Hfe-touch Of good
cultivation?
William Kuhrt's place is situated on
the Beaver, and he has some adVan-
tage Of course over the man that
farms upon the high divide he has
the advantage Of a stream Of water
willow trees, an annual hay crop Of
about IS tons, and a garden patch
along the lOwlands Of the stream But
these favorable things have had Moth
ing to do with the 500 bushels Of
corn in his corn-crib today, for the
corn was grown on higher ground
neither has the Beaver contributed to
I'LL his granary with barley, nor to
make the hens lay, nor TO make the
cows give milk, for all Of these pro-
ducts come not on account OF the
stream OF water but because these
things are common to almost every
acre Of the county under proper treat
ment
The great proportion Of garden pro-
ducts are raised on the prairie land
because there is more of it. COmpa-
ratively few have bottom land, and
1t of course Is a very good possession
Yong alfalfa is getting start on the
Kuhrt place, the hay at this time Of
the year is knee high, the 1000 cab
bage plants are beginning to take good
root. and so with the beets, tomatoes,
contribute to the wealth and use Of
this "Well-hxed' farmer. He has a
fine young orchard of apple and peach
trees on the second bench Of the creek
and the ash still higher up to give
protection. These trees are growing
on land that has been cultivated for
three years To ascertain to what
depth the surface moisture had gone
down, Mr.. Kuhrt bored into the
ground four feet with a twO-inch au-
ger, and as that was the extreme
length Of his boring machine, he had
to quit, but at every inch down to the
four foot mark, the soil could be rolled
I'D into mud balls
People know Of the success Of this
industrious man, and so we will take
a run a mile up the creek to the home

FOR BIGGER RAILROAD WORKS

MADE HERE.
OmciaIs Here Looking Over Ground
Superintendent Cable Thinks
GOOdIand VIII Reach 5000.

"GOOdIand viii grow 20 town Of
5000 people in a few years are the
words reported to have been spoken
by General superintendent h 5 Gable
as ne was riding with Mayor Kelly in
his StanhOpe last Thursday and being
shown about the town The only thing
Mr.. Cable complained about was the
scarcity Of houses and rOOming ac-
cOmmOda lions for railroad employees
although for two years and q half
as fast as material and mechanics
could be secured. The fact is that the
demand is sharp, urgent and persist
ent for more houses and also larger
hotel accommodations and rOOmlng
and boarding houses
Mr.. Gable asked Mayor Kelly TO
present a request 10 the city council
for the vacation Of Seventeenth street
west Of Main street and north OF the
round houses and the shops He re-
marked that If the city would pass
such an ordinance, the company would
take care Of property owners and
by compromise or purchase acquire
the ground needed A blue print was
shown requiring an estimated outlay
Of about $25O,00O.
Among these improvements was a
twenty-Slall round house, location for
two large tubular wells, sidetracks and
yardagc, and for material stOrerOOm
buildings
It was also learned that the Electric
Light company here had been asked
TO make an estimate OF cost Of wiring
and lighting the entire works Of the
railroad here, including freight and
passenger depOts, hotel and offices,
round houses and shops and the rail-
road yard. Such an estimate has been
or will be made, and If the offer meets
the approval OF the company, the bid
will be accepted If not the Rock
Island viii put in its own electric
light plant here
1t is also understood that the policy
Of sending engines from this point 70
Moline, III, for repair or rebuilding
is losing favor with the head officials
Of the company, as both more costly
and less efficient than If done here.
A change Of policy is anticipated and
much heavy repair Will be handled by
the GOOdland shops
GOOdland in any event is away
