Sand Hill Pike South From
Dodge City Completed.
Government Expert Looks After
Finishing Touches.
WILL LAST 90 YEARS,
Work Was Started Merely in
an Experimental Way.
Now Other Ones Will Be Built
in Southwest Kansas.

Dodge City. Dec. 1.-THE famous
said hill road leading out of the city
south has finally been completed and
the finishing touches put on. All it
row needs is rain and travel and in oc-
casfonaI spots trif1e more sand. 1t is
a great move for western Kansas.
Some have the impression that too
much sand had been put on top of
the soil used in building the road. 1t
should be remembered that Mr.. Spoon,
the government expert, has had years
of experience. He has watched these
roads wear and he knows how they
should be built. This road, he says,
will last for twenty years. 1t will not
be at its best until there is more rain,
and more sand pressed into the soil. 1t
IS not a new experiment with him. He
has the record on many OF these ROADS
and knows just what kind of road
this will make and how long it will
last.
This long stretch, almost impossible
Ilp to short time ago, is now good
run for automobiles and a good road
fo1. heavy loads, but it will be getting
better all the time if the instructions
of Mr.. Spoon are carried out. 1t is
TO the credit of the board of commits
sioners, to Mr.. Sughrue and others
who have taken a personal interest
in it. and to all who have contributed
to it financially that such a splendid
example in road building has been
given. This work, too, is being fol-
lowed up by more work in the south
east part of the county.

CONGRATULATED BY ROOSEVELT
Poor Boy Who Is Successfully Work
ing His Way Through Harvard.

Boston, Dec. 17.-Another interest
ing example of how an energetic
young man cannot only put himself
through any college or university in
the country, but can be part of it's
social and athletic life as well. is
brought to light by President Roose-
Velt's letter to Ernest Yer Wiebe.
Yer Wiebe has made himself a well
known factor in athletics on the foot
ball field and recently President
Roosevelt took occasion to write him,
congratulating him on his football
work, which made possible the defeat
of Yale. This young man is a brake
man by occupation when not working
his way through the university.

Ernest Yer Wiebe, a Poor Studen
Who Is Working His Way Through
Harvard

Yer Wiebe, it appears, has to earn
his living to get through Harvard,
and for the past two summers has
been a brakeman on the Boston &
Maine railroad. The first summer,
when he was put on the regular run
to Newburyport, he received $2.1O.
He likes it so much that he said to-
day. when he gets out of college he is
going to take up railroading per
manently. He hopes that he won t
have to stay at the bottom very long.
Just now Yer Wiebe is teaching
German at night and singing in the
choir of the Charlestown Baptist
church for a living. He has done
about everything in the three years
he has been at Harvard-lawn NOW
ing in the summer, snow shoveling in
the winter, selling soap and all sorts
of clerical work
Yer Wiebe cites his own case as
sufficient refutation of his frequently
repeated assertion that there exists
discrimination against the poor
student at Harvard.
Yer Wiebe has gotten into serious
difficulty, however, by accepting
purse from his townsmen. He may
be declared a. professional

THREE on CARS BURN.
some Person Dropped a Match just
to See the Fun.

Cherryvale, Dec. 17.-There was
quite a little excitement in Cherry
vale when three tank cars. filled with
refined oil caught fire and burned.
The sky was lighted for some distance
around and it was thought for a time
that the entire town in the vicinity of
the Frisco was on fire.
Several days ago a spreading rail
on the Frisco, caused the wrecking
of the three tank cars and two cars
of corn. The corn was mostly cleaned
up, but the tank cars were still as
they were left after the wreck.
1t is thought that someone passing
down the track dropped a lighted
match, causing the fire. The fire de-
partment was called and could do but
little good outside of keeping the
flames from doing other damage.

LIKE HAULING IN GOLD.
Farmer Gets ST Cents for Corn Now,
8 Cents a Bushel in 'S9.

Kingman, Dec. 17.-Albert Wood
ridge of Hosier township, delivered a
wagon load of corn in Kingman, for
which he received 81 cents per bushel;
and as he had about fifty bushels in
the load it brought him the very in
teresting price of a little more than
s25. In speaking of the matter, Mr..
Woodbridge said that there was con-
siderable difference in handling the
corn crop this season as compared
with the crop he raised and sold in
the fall of 'S9. He said that he
hauled good corn to Kingman that
year and turned 1t in to pay store
bills, and received only eight cents a
bushel for it so that it was rather a
discouraging outlook for piling up a
fortune at the prices received for the
crop. Just think of the difference;
over 500 per cent advance.
