Kirwin. Kan, May 2s.-Major E. w.
Warner. who came here in 1872, and
killed bufalos in Phillips county, says
there has been more improvements in
Kirwin in the last two years than in
d dozen years prior TO 1906. For years
the town was ahead of the country,
and now the country is taking a turn
and trying to keep pace with the
growth OF the town in settlement and
development Major and Mrs. War
ner have lived here from the first,
built the well known Warner hotel,
its location being one of the pleasant
est in all northwest Kansas. And
under its roof nearly every politician
seeking Office in the state has eaten
and slept for more than thirty years
He saw the coming and removal of
the United States land office, and he
witnessed the completion of the rail-
road to KirWin and its further extern
sion west. Both these events gave
kirwin a black eye. Now she has
happily outgrown it. and there are
today in construction about eight resi-
6ences at a cost of $500 to $500
each Besides. H. A and william
Gudger are erecting a business block

ANOTHER ROAD IN PROSPECT.
One May Be Built From Beloit to
Kearney Neb

Beloit, Nay 2S.-The engineer and rep
resentative of some eastern capitalists
who made an examination of the coun-
try between Beloit and Kearney, Neb.,
several months ago for the purpose of
determining the practica bility and
profitableness of railroad between the
two points. have just sent very elab-
crate report to F. T. Burnham. of Be
lott. who accompanied them on the trip.
The project is endorsed and assurances
given that the necessary amount of
money will be forthcoming for the con-
structfon of the road upon the making
of surveys and securing of required
franchises. This line will pass through
one of the very best sections of Kansas
and Nebraska and open up a country at
present very poorly supplied with trans
portation facilities. Arrangements Will
be made for the surveys. This road will

TRAMPs ARE PLENTIFUL.
No Penalty at Garden City and the
Town Is Full.

Garden City. May 2s.-Tramps and
beggars are gathering in Garden City
in larger numbers than earlier in the
spring. The word seems to have pass
ed down the line that no opposition is
to be found here and more penniless
pilgrims were in town the past week
than ever before.
Marshal Hopper is now doing both
night and day duty, and in conse-
quence is obliged to go home at 1880
o'clock, leaving the town without po-
lice help between that time and day
light. The hoboes know to the minute
when he is off duty. and gather at the
Santa Fe depot promptly Several
nights this week they have been so
quarrelsome that the night man at the
depot has been compelled to take
poker and run them all out. Hardly
a night passes which does not see from
fifteen to twenty-five tramps in or
around the depot.
The sentiment is growing in favor Of
a town stone pile at which the visiting
hoboes could be entertained and 9TH
ers warned away.
