New Buildings at Ramah.

Our neighboring town on the east is
now receiving a share OF the building
prosperity which Calhan has been enjoy
ing the last year or two
The Lem Cannon Mercantile com
pany of that place commenced work

store building 50x100 feet in size, with a
new bank building 20x42 feet adjoining
Both buildings will have a Ia foot cell
ing and full plate glass front, while the
walls will be constructed OF re enforced
concrete. The inside will have the nat.
ural hard pine finish, with maple floors.
A furnace in the basement will furnish
heat for the entire structure and spe-
cial electric light plant will be installed
for lighting purposes. The first floor
will be connected with the basement by
an elevator, and the main store room will
have shelving on both sides and double
shelving through the center A cash
tube system will also be installed, con
Meeting with all departments, and sepa-
rate vaults will be built in both build
ings.
Taken throughout Mr.. Cannon will
have one of the finest and most up to
date country business buildings in the
county when completed. The work OF
construction will be planned and super
intended by Charles Brandt, whose abil
ity in this line is we'll known in Calhan.
in addition to the above improve
ments, number Of other new buildings
and residences have been added to the
thriving village of Ramah the last few

town; among them being a new pool

A Church "Pay Day."

An interesting feature of the Presby-
terian church services of Sunday, Sept
l, will be the offering. The church year
is almost half gone and in order to meet
every obligation at this time the mem
bers and all other subscribers have been
asked to pay up their subscriptions in
full on or previous to the above date.
Those who have not subscribed anything
toward the support of the church, and
desire to do so, will be given an opportu-
nifty on Sept. l. The church is prosper
ing and no doubt its members and
friends will respond quite literally so
that all accounts may be settled in full.
Sept l, therefore, will be pay day in the
Elbert Presbyterian church.

Emporia, Kansas, Aug. II, 1907.
Editor Tribune: / see by the Fondis
letter Of your last issue, received today,
that Henry Rubeck, William Hanna and
William McCauley, of the Bijou valley,
have recently invested in Deering and
Mccormick harvesters and that G. b..
Hollems has just returned from Denver
with new top buggy. This speaks well
for the BiioI farmer and the crop pros
pect Of that neigh borhood am, how.
ever, little surprised at Neil Hollems
of the Spring branch. In this age OF the
horseless, gasoline, electric, compressed
air motor, did think that nothing less
than six cylinder rubber tired auto or
loco OF at least 40 horse power would do
for him. i do not mean that Neil is in
any way locoed, for when / last saw him
he was not even locofoco, but shouted
and voted-perhaps early and often-for
Mckinley and Roosevelt in 1900. To
think that he would now be satisfied
with single seat top canvas probably
buggy is reflection on Spring branch.
doubt if even that shining example of
Jetfersonian democracy, Tom Harper.
would have stood for top buggy in the
late summer of 1907. However, when
knew Neil seven years ago he had wag-
on spoke for whip and on at least one
occasion expressed desire to use it on
the writer for newspaper libel about
his root-hog- or-die process of raising
corn with subsoiling lister instead of
the Adamic heel and top method of
planting championed by Col. McGnl.

Yield Will Be Heavy.

reports from different localities in this
section indicate that the yield of wheat
tins season will be heavier than last
year While the straw is shor. in many
'ields, the grain is heavy and plump and
well matured, assuring an excellent quail
ity OF grain. No threshing has been
done yet in this immediate locality and
IT will be several weeks yet before this
work will commence, when at least half
a dozen steam threshing outfits will
start out from Ebert and be kept busy
until well toward the close of the year.

Ebert Wins and Loses.

The Elbert Reds played two games of
ball here Sunday afternoon. losing the
first game and winning the second. The
first game was with the Calhan Greys.
Sellers started in to pitch, but after Cal
han had scored nine times in the first
four innings, most OF the runs being
made on errors, he gave way to Gate
wood, who was almost invincible. Cal
hans errors were almost as numerous as
the Reds but were not so costly.
The Reds made a great rally in the
last two innings, piling up eight runs by
some clean hitting, aided by several err
rors, but it came too late for them to
win.
The visitors were gentlemanly lot OF
players and were managed by j. X,
Beavers, principal of the Calhan school.
Following is the score by innings:

first three innings, after which both
teams put up a very creditable game.
