SURVEYORS WORKING THIS way
NORTH AND SOUTH ROAD FOR
GOODLAND.
Rock Island SEay Be Behind Garden
City, Gulf and Northern RaH-
way Project

The prospect for a north and south
railroad between Garden City and
GOOdland is perhaps one Of the fu-
ture certainities amidst the great vol
ume OF talk about railroad construc-
ton in western Kansas. Everyons
who reads the newspapers know that
the railroads have had their survey
ors in different parts OF this territory.
some running survey line north OF
Goodland. Other reports said that
surveyors were operating southeast OF
town
But now comes the authoratfve an
nouncement that the surveyors OF the
Garden City, Gulf and Northern Rail-
way company, supposed to be a Rock
Island project, are working on a line
from Garden City to GoodIand. The
surveyors are expected to be here any
day.
c NJ. Niquette OF Garden City. writ
ing to real estate agent Of this town,
in a letter OF February %, says:
Our surveyors viii probably reach
your own some time the fore part of
the month"
B. F Brown this week also receiv-
ed a letter from a Garden City bank
in which il was again specifically
stated that the surveyors were com
ing our way and that the line would
be surveyed into GOOdland.
While it seems that there are local
forces behind this newly projected
north and south railroad, 1t also seems
that the Rock Island have a finger in
this enterprise, for that railroad would
be the most benefited OF any in this
section Of the cOunry If such a road
should be constructed.
This line would connect the two
western trunks Of the Rock Island so
that freight originating along the
northern trunk could be switched at
GOOdland and sent southwark to the
southwest line OF the Rock Island
The GOOdland Commercial club
should put its shoulder strongly to
the wheel to escure the building OF
this road. for it would mean Good
land would be plainly and without
doubt the important city in the west
ern half Of Kansas. Let the good
work go on

The Only Way To Succeed.

When you leave out from home to
attend Farmers Union meeting
pull off the old selfish cloak of yours
and hang it on the gate post until
you return from the meeting.
The distinctive difference in a
union or cooperative meeting and
yourself is this: when you join in
with your neighbor to do anything
for the good of all, your
whole body and soul is all built into
the big man. That is, you are a
mere part of whatit took to make
this giant man, who Is so powerful
that little selfish fellows and other
giants of smaller breeds and of less
import must get out of your way.
These great giants that grow on the
farmsare popping up all over the
South very fast and growing big and
and fast like corn on rich soil after
q good shower in June.

BlaCkliStiDq Fertilizers.

About the only way 10 keep farm
ers' organizations from blacklistiug
fertilizers that fall below grade, is
for fertilizers makers to keep the
grade of their goods on the safe side
of the dead line!
When farmers know more about
what the real stuff in fertilizer sacks
is made of, aud that the original
source of the phosphoric acid and
potash comes from the soil beneath
their feet, and the nitrogen, the
most costly ingredient is obtained
from the air about them and above
their heads, the mysterious magic
powers of the stuff in these crocus
eltilizer sacks will depart from
their minds aud the scales will fall
fiom their eyes Then they will be
ready to develop these same mineral
manures in their own soils by deep
plowing and winter freezing and
haul down from the air above all the
nitrogen or ammonia they need
through COW pea crops, then mani
pulate the whole homespun fertili-
zers through the medium Of feeding
farm stock and cultivating the soil
with improved farm implements.

Newspaper Theft.

We do not mean stealing news
paper; for that has become so COM
mon that it may be put down as a
right which many people regard as
their own and one against which no
protest can be made. To make pro-
tests do not amount to anything,
and if there is any law BY which
these thieves may be reached, it has
never been written.
There is the rogue who will take
a newspaper for which he mas sub
scribed and for which he promised
to pay, just as long as 1t is sent to
him. He and his family enjoy
reading it ever so much, and could
not afford to do without it, but just
so soon as vigorous effort is made
to collect the subscription, he quietly
informs the postmaster that he does
not want the paper any longer and
to notify the publisher to that effect.
Not one word is said about paying
for it, and no amount of writing
ever elicits a reply from him. How
dare any one deny that this man is
thief? He has stolen every cent
due that paper, and in the sight Of
high heaven, he is thief.
Another subscriber takes the paper
until he is pressed to pay, and, then,
he lies about it. He will swear that
he never received it, and when it did
come he never read it, and he dio
not care for it any way. He tried
his best to get it discontinued, and
he could not get the thing stopped
to save his life. Moreover, the
paper is no account, and he is not
going to pay for it. The facts are
just the opposite. He got the paper
all the time, read it with interest,
and declared that it was an excellent
paper. To be sure, it was far better
than such fellow as he can ever be.
Now, is not this fellow both a liar
and thief? Press HIM little, and
he will stand convicted by the words
of his own mouth.
And yet, again, there is the sub.
scriber who takes paper year IN
and year ont, and no appeal ever
moves him. He just goes on max
ing promises to pay, and he never
pays cent. We confess that this
fellow bewilders us We know not
how to characterize him. We prefer
leaving him for the present.
And there is the thief who picks
up his neighbours paper, walks out
with it, and the owner never knows
whittier it went. When he can not
get it this way, he will pretend to
borrow it. This fellow is a very
contemplate kind Of newspaper
thief. His stealing is double. He
steals from the subscriber, and from
the publisher also. His cheek is
monumental. He invariably reads
the paper before the owner ever has
an opportunity to see it.
But what about the newspaper
man who steals from his brother?
And it was of this fellow that we
intended writing when we began this
paper. Last week, sc saw an editorial
in an exchange which the Journal
clipped from another paper, a week
or more ago, and gave credit for the
same. Behold it in the editorial
columns of a paper without one jot a
little or evidence that it was the
property of another. The only COM
ment We shall make on this is, the
aforesaid editer must most assaredly
be "Worklng with heary heart. -
