WHY WE SHOULD HELP.

Now that the preliminary
agreement has been made and
the committee of citizens has in
hand the raising of the a.nount
of subscriptions necessary to be
raised from this county for the
new railroad from this place to
Silyerton 10 connect with a line
coming to Briscoe county from
the southeast, a discussion of the
matter by the editor of this
paperis in place.
The first thing TO discuss is as
to whether or not the new road
will be benefit TO the town and
county. TO this there can be no
question but that we have an eX'
ceptional chance for benefit in
this proposed railroad. What
we want and need are railroad
facilities so that we may get the
rates for the shipment Of our
products direct 10 markets.
Just take a state map and look
at it from time 70 time while you
are reading this article. You
will note that there is a broad
scope Of country between the
Forth Worth and Denver railway
on the North and the Texas and
Pacific railway running from
Fort Worth 70 FL Paso on the
south which is not transyerSed
with a railway line running east
and west. 1t is only a question
Of time until Til, country will
have a through line from Fort
Worth or Dallas 70 the coal fields
Of Colorado and to the broad
agricultural lands which lie in
this territory. There are al
ready numerous reports ahoat
regarding new roads and exten
sions Of lines into this land.
Note that the Rock Island has
"a road TO Graham in Young
County; that the Rock Island
has line Of road now being built

Now note that by building a line
Of railway from Graham by the

paid within fifteen days after
the subscription is raised and
for which the subscribers get
first mortgage bonds on the rail
way, which bonds bear six per
cent interest after two years.
These will be worth par after
the road is in operation. The
remaining eighty eight per cent
of the subscription may be paid
in cash before the grading is all
done and the subscriber who
pays will likewise receive first
mortgage bonds which will be
worth par when the road is in
operation. The bonds are limit.
ed to Twelve Thousand Dollars
per mile. So it is clearly shown
that if the subscriber pays his
subscription all in cash before
the grading is completed he can
get his money back in two years
thus being out only the use of
the money for the time. And
| the increase in value of the lands
will certainly be worth this
small amount. If however. the
| subscriber does not elect to pay
cash within the time, he is to
pay one.third of his eighty eight
per cent remaining, when the
road - in operation to the
county line, One-third when in
operation TO SilvertOn and the
remaining third when connec-
ton is made with the trunk line
coming from the southeast. In
this event his subscription would
operate as a bonus and he would
receive none of his money back
as would be the case if he paid
the cash.
The road cannot hurt us. On
the other hand it will be a great
help in building up the county
and making of Canyon City IA
railroad center. 1t is up to the
people who own land in this
county to put their shoulders
together and 90 to work. Kick
erS are wanted who won't fail to
kick if any one hangs back. We
can use the knockers only when
the rails are being laid and we
trust that the management will
use well the few that this county
has, taking them by the heels
and using their heads for ham
mers. You can't hurt their
heads nothing there to hurt.
Should we help: You bet,
Keep yourself posted about the
matter and see Randall County
do what she ought TO do.
MORE RAILROAD TALK.
We clip the following from the
Clarendon Chronicle which has
something Of interest relative to
our railroad matter. If you will
note the names Of the men at
the head Of this railway you will
see that they are responsible
men, well connected and we
think the road will be an assured
matter
NEW RAILROAD VIA ROWE.
Capt. Nat. Smith Of Rowe
handed Us the following yester.
day, clipped from the Oklaho-
man:
The first spoke in the Altus
Roswell & FL Paso Ry will be
driven in the next 30 days, says
Edward Kennedy Of Houston,
president Of the road, in Okla |
homa yesterday cnroute to

He says the road will prove Of
incalcuIable benefit TO Oklahoma

City to the northwest about
| twenty-five miles the road would
have connection with its present
lines at both ends.
Now note the line of railway
running through Cisco to STAN
ford and then on west. This
road is supposed to be CONTROL
ed by the SwenSons of New
York who own large tracts of
land in the Panhandle. Don t
you think they will want to give
their lands railway facilities
when by doing so they will have
paying line?
Either Of these roads will be a
paying proposition if you will
note the North and South rail
way lines they will intersect and
the connections to be made.
They would, if extended this far,
intersect the Santa Fe going
through this place; the new road
which will evidently be built
from Altus, Oklahoma, TO RoS
well. New Mexico. and which is
almost an assured fact; the
Orient railway from Kansas City
to Mexico which is nearly com
pleted from Chillicothe to Gro
well and which, when done will
make through line from San
Angelo to Kansas City: tl.e
Wichita Valley railw". from
Wichita Falls to ADilina; and
each road now has dire, t con
necti"Ys with roads to til. gulf.
.-Ihe Rock Island would have an
additional railway connection at
Olney in Young County, the road
being already built to that place.
With all these feeders the road
would be bound to pay.
Thus you will see it will only
be question of time until the
country toward which our pro.
posed road tends, will be reach
ed by railroad from the south
east and if we want the western
terminus we must speak now
and in terms of endcarment
which are substantial or forever
afterwards hold our peace.
With such connections our
lands will increase in value even
more rapidly than ever before.
Our town property will be in de-
mand and will have among us
more men Of the broad, ener
getic, hustling type.
According 70 the contract all
the shops, round-house and
general Offices are 10 be located
here. If the line never goes
than Silyerton there will
have TO be at least sixty en-
ployees in Canyon City who, at
sixty dollars per month, will
spend S36OOOO monthly among
US. This is the low price Of
for railroad men and not
an average by any means. Then
a great deal Of the money spent
for building Of the road will be
spent here as it is headquarters |
for the construction. The re- !
turns will be great on our in
yeStment.

MATE AND CAPTAIN OF STEAMER
CAROLINA PICK THEM UP.
Put Out Boat at Night to Bring in Ex-

MlLWAU NEE. Wis. June 30, 1905.
Drifting about the storm-tossed lake,
clinging to the bottom of their over
turned yacht, three Milwaukee yachts
men, Henry Bcrmen, James Norton and
Fred Fredstorff, battled against exhaus-
ton for five hours and then We're saved
from death by being run down by the
steamer Carolina only 10y the quckness
Of the chief mate James Smith.
Half an hour out of Racine the steam
er Carolina Of the Goodrich Transit com
pany was making good speed in the
rough sea when "kewaunee Jim as the
chief mate is known, heard a faint cry
seemingly almost under the bow. His
mind acted quickly and with a few rapid
orders the Roadway of the boat was
engine to clear the craft
y boat was lowered by Smith in record
time, say passengers. who were travel
ing men on their way to the Milwaukee
convention, and the yacht, about fifty
feet away, was soon reached despite the
rough sea which threatened to dash the
fraiI craft against the sides of the Caro-
lima.
The exhausted yachtsmen were lifted
aboard and the small boat soon was
hauled back to place. The men We're
found to be almost dead from fatigue
and exposure, but stimuants and care
full attention given them by Capt. Cor
nrliuS McCauley, soon restored them.
The men We're brought into Milwaukee
and soon left the boat for their homes,
while Smith telephoned to Racine to
the owners of the tug Dixon, which
was then set out to recover the over
turned yacht with mast and bowsprit
broken, floating upside down. The
yaChtsmen were on their way from Chi
Cago to Milwaukee and We're only Il
short distance from Racine when found.
