Russian ThistIes Spreading.

Reports from all parts Of the county
indicate that the Russian thistle is
spreading out from the railroad and
covering all farm lands and pastures.
We observe that many of the high
ways lending from Dodge City are liter
ally fringed with rank growth Of this
pest.
There is general law in this state
which provides that every county shall
annually cut and destroy Russian thistle
upon all lands and highways But the
law seems to have been very little OBJ
served in the past, and it's general dis
regard has served to augment the spread
of the thistle.
The only way In which this outlawed
weed can be extirpated is only by actual
and combined effort and action by all
cuonties. One county may clear its
fields and roads with hoe and comb
tooth rake one year, but unless the sur
rounding counties do the same, seeds will
be blown In from all sides and within
three years the best efforts show for
naught.
1t now seems to be up to Ford county
to do the best 1t can for itself, and the
only sure remedy at hand is for the
several township boards Of the county to
assume charge Of the work Of extermi-
nation. These boards can transform
themselves into bureaus Of education and
labor for their respective townships, and
develope among their farmers, land
owners and road overseers propensity
to combat and destroy tue thistle.
Every farmer In the county should not
let this season pass without going over
his uhcultivated fields and pastures.

county the other day and saysth the marked
degree Of perfection with which Governor
Fitzgerald and County Commissioner
Duncker have removed the Russian

A daspatch from Arkansas City Mon

railroad from Arkansas City 10 the north.
west The length Of the road to be built
will be close to one hundred and ninety
miles and Dodge City is the probable OBJ
jective point
Ever since the road was constructed to
this city, It has been believed that 1t
would be extended at some future time.
1t IL known that the stockholders, at a
recent meeting made careful examina-
tion Of the earnings Of the road and these
showed up In such good shape that the
extension was decided upon at that time.
Hutchinson will probably be included
In the listof towns touched by the ex-
tension. II is known that Hutchinson has
wanted a road down through this part Of
the country for some time aud overtures
have been made to the management Of
the Midland Valley.
The Midland Valley has been repeated
ly reported sold to the Santa Fe, but the
reports to that effect have been persist
emily denied by the officials Of both roads.
Now the announc ement that the road
would extend northwest stseems to Indicate
that there is no connection between the
two roads.
The Midland Valley now does an i'm
mcnse business through the eastern part
of Oklahoma and has paid every day
