OTHER EXPENSES
CROWD OUT WORK
No improvements in Paducah
District of 1. G,
Intended 10 Gut Down Several Grades
On Louisville Division-$f,
100000 SET Aside.
GO OVER UNTIL NEXT YEAR

On account of increased improve
ments on other divisions of the ILL
nois Central railroad. the improve
ment authorized for the Louisville
division. Paducah district, which is
estimated to cost in the neighbor-
hood of $780, 900 has been recall
ed and will not be made until next
year. This was the advice officially
given out yesterday, and 1t will be
received with some regret by Off
Gals on the division.
The Illinois Central railroad de-
cided last winter to cut down Iron
Ore, Dulaney and Stiles Hills on the
Paducah district of the road. These
hills are steep grades and cost a
great deal of time to all classes of
trains. They are located between Pa
ducah and Princeton. KY, and the
work when begun will last for some
time. The shortage OF labor also is
another reason given for this move,
labor being in demand on the sec
tions.
Cutting down the grade will mean
saving of much time and incon-
venience to the road. 1t will cut
down the time between Louisville
and New Orleans and will do away
with doubling" over the hills which
freight trains have to practice Of
ten. The move will be another adj
vance in the fight being made by
the Louisville and Nashville and the
Illinois Central railroads for the
fastest time between Louisville and
New Orleans.
A conference of railroad officials
of the Illinois Central was held Sun
day and Monday at Dawson to con-
slider the petition from Dawson resi-
dents and hotel managers to place
Dawson on their booklets advertising

MExcELLEXT CONDITION.

II is not generally known, as
the School Board is composed OF
a very modest set of gentlemen,
but we have found out that the
district is in very fine condition
financially. Only a few years ago
the district was away behind in
its warrant payments, but now
only a few hundred dollars remain
unpaid, and the treasurer, Mr..
Cook, tells us that by the first of
February all the unpaid warrants
will be taken up and paid of, and
that there will be practically
enough money on hand to pay for
the present term of school.
And we want to say right here
that while the big lot of unpaid
warrants have been taken up and
retired a lot of work has been
done on the school property. 1t
has been put in fine condition.
And again: All the time this
has been going on the rate of
taxation for the district has been
gradually growing less. The
levy this year is lower than for
twenty-five years.
This management speaks we'll
for the gentlemen in charge, and
we hope they will he continued
in Office.

COOPERATIVE LUMBER
YARD.

One of our big lumber yards
can be bought at a very reasona-
BILE figure, and a proposition is
being presented to the citizens OF
Baxter Springs and vicinity ia
buy this yard and conduct il on
the cooperative plan.
Other towns have these yards,
and they have been very success
full in every way. The stock
holders have received good in
terest on the money invested and
the price of all building material
has been greatly reduced. Every
citizen, farmer and mine owner
should take a little stock in the
enterprise, and especially those
who contemplate building.
With a liberal reduction in
lumber and material thousands
of houses would be erected and
there is nothing that would tend
to build up our city and country
as a cooperative lumber yard.
We know of hundreds who
want to build homes, business
houses, mining plants and other
buildings, but have been deferred
by the appalling advance in
prices. Wherever such yards
have been established there has
been a great revival in building
operations, and certainly no city
in the state is in such great need
of more houses than Baxter
Springs. Our mining camps are
full to OVERLOOKING and hundreds
of houses are needed to accom-
modate the people.
No business is safer than the
lumber business. Let us all take
a little stock and put the CO.
operative yard into immediate
operation.

KILLER BY 100.

A mistake was made in tabu-
lating the figures on the Office OF
register of deeds, the vote from
Scammon being figured up
wrong, and it has been discovered
that 100 votes cast for Mr.. Hitler,
the Democratic candidate for
register of deeds, were not in
cluded in the totals. The finding
of this mistake gives Mr.. Hitler
the Office by about 100, as before
the mistake was made Mr.. Cruick-
shank had n lead of about that
number.

The road work being done
south of this city should be seen
by all lovers and believers i'll
good roads. First the roadway
was graded up nicely, care being
taken to give the bitches suffi-
cient fall to clear themselves
after a heavy rain, and
then gravel was put on in
the center of the roadway. The
gravel is of the water variety,
being round in formation and
very hard. The loose dirt on the
top of the grade beds the gravel,
and within three weeks the road
will be as hard as rock itself.
The gravel is being put on thick,
one load to the length of the
wagon being used, and in some
places the gravel is being put on
two loads wide. The work is be-
ing done under the supervision OF
Geo. E. Rucker. With very lit
tie care that road will last for
years, and the hauling that goes
over it is very hard, too, being
coal, machinery and ore. We
hope to see the road pushed on to
the Mission mine at an early
date. The road will be of inest-
Unable benefit to the people min
ing down in the camp, as it is
necessary for them to haul every
thing they use, and then haul
their ore out.

THURSDAY, NOV. IS.

Now that Cherokee county is
$50, 900 in debt would il not be q
good idea to issue some funding
bonds so the rate of interest will
not be so high. The interest on
unpaid warrants is six per cent.
Will the commissioner show a
little business sagacity and fund
the debt, so that the interest will
not he so much? Funding bonds OF
Cherokee county could be foated
at a rate of interest not exceeding
four per cent. 1t seems to us it
would be mighty good business
to lop off one-third of the interest
charge. A good business man
will look at it in this light. The
commissioners owe it to the taX-
payers to save them all they can.
And now it is announced by
the daily press of the country
that the Republican party, which
is in power of Kansas, will at
tempt to give the people of this
state chance to vote on the pro-
hibitory question again. We do
not believe it. But one thing is
certain. The counties where the
prohibitory law was enforced
gave Harris big majorities, while
the counties where the joints
were not mOlested gave majori-
ties for Hoch. In Shawnee county
the Democratic candidate for
county attorney was badly de-
feated because he said he would
enforce the prohibitory law, and
out in Montgomery county the
county attorney, Mr.. Wagstaff,
who did enforce the law, was
badly defeated in his race for a
second term. The people of Kan
sas want a chance to wipe the in
iquitous law off the map, and if
the Republican party shall give
them chance it will mean a
long lease of life to that party in
Kansas. But will the Republican
party give the people a whack at
it! We do not think so.
