Railroad Southwest From Dodge
The Year Of 1909 is theeTims
For This Road to Build.
Others Have Been
Figuring On It.

Railroad building from Dodge
City southwest is due in 1909 and
that prediction Of tho Globe Repub-
lican is going to be let stand until
somsone can prove that it is q mis-
take.
Nj. Wing ofthe Commercial club
and Of the Development company
Of Dodge City has just received .
letter from a Chicago man who also
belives that the time has come for
such o road. Mr.. Burns writes that
il the people Of Dodge City are inte-
ested in such road, he is in posi-
tion TO haye it done. Mr.. Burns was
the builder Of the Denver; Memphis,
Atlantic, now part Of the Missouri
Pacific from Chetopa to Larned and
from McCracken to Pueblo and he
knows the exact conditions Of this
country now and evidently has
strong idea that the coming year is
time for railroad building. At one
time Mr.. Burns lived at Spearville
and the old settlers know him.

the matter or not that South west road

Council q Had Special Session Wednesday
Night to Consider Matter Of New
Franchise.

|
Aspecial session Of the Council was
called for Wednesday night to con-
slider the matter Of a new franchise "a
thefwatsr 4 Light tcohpany., There
was mot q quorum. present and 70
action was taken. Mr.. Theis, who
owns the water works was present,
and talked the matter over with the
members Of the council. BE ia
apparently disposed to act in perfect
good faith with the city, and give il
any thing it wants, that is within
boands Of a business proposition.
The council seems TO bs united upon
tho proposition that deeper walls
must bs used, and upon other matters
pertaining TO a franchise. Mr.. Thsis
proposes. providing that the com
pany and council can agree upon a
franchise which will DO fair to both
the town and the company, to at once
begin on a test we'll. His present
idea is thirty feet deep basin, sur
rounded by a systsm Of deep wells
which will provide the pure, soft
water, from below. These wells are
to bs siphoned into the central basin.
All Of the surface water would be
shut off and the entire supply Of city
water would come from the deep
wells. II some unusual fire should
accur and too great a demand be
made on the supply, the present well
could be used for the emergency.
The first well can be used as a test
for this system.
Another meeting will be held soon
to further consider the matter.

DODGE CITY IS ELIGIBLE.
1t Is a Step Forward and VIII
Look We'll FIR the Town.
The Movement Is On

The Dodge City Development
company at it, meeting On last Mon
day night passed . resolution 70
qussting tho propsr authoritiss Z
take steps to secure free, delivery II
Dodge City. People wereb beginning
10 ask about this matter pretty often
In comparing cities, one Of the 'frs'
things asked is which has fret
delivery. Great Bend is generally
classed ahead Of Dodge City by those
who do not know the towns intimate
", on account Of that town having
free delivery. On the other side Of
us Garden City is working hard tc
secure free delivery, and Garden City
realized that il will be point in her
favor il she succeeds in getting it.
There is no doubt but that it puts q
town in q new class.
The Development company is
doing some good work for the town.
II has interested itself in the good
roads movement, and has put up
money in that work. It has put up
money to stay in on the Kansas
Colorado railroad project, and it put
up money to help in searching for
gas and oil.
I Dodge City is now in the class that
is eligible to free delivery. and it is
the only town on record that has not
pushed the right as soon as it was
o possibility. 1t is understood that
with the sidewalks built, which have
already been ordered. there will be
enough to comply with the require
ments, and the office receipts are up
to the amount necessary. The streets
will have to be marked and the
houses numbered, but this is some
thing which should be done any way.
Here is Dodge City town Of much
importance in western Kansas, and
only a few in town even know the
names Of the streets. If q stranger
asks where some citizen lives, the
best direction you can give him is
that the man lives on the "East Hill"
or the "West Hill'', or sixteen blocks
east and Ave and. o half north OF some
church or school house, and the
third lot north from somebody's red
barn. The Development Company's
resolution is in order, and should be
carried out in the shortest possible
time.

INCREASE MARGIN OF LEISURE.
Trend of Modern Life Emphatically in
Right Direction.

One of the most valuable assets of
progress is leisure. The use of leisure
is the test of mans capacity to enjoy
liberty, to enlarge his opportunities
and to capitalize his capacities.
The. trend of modern life is further
to increase the margin of leisure. The
working day has been shortened in
many cases from IL to hours, and in
not few to eight. The time for in
struction and education of the young
tends to lengthen rather shorten. The
disposition is for men to retire earlier
from their life pursuits, says the Wall
Street Journal. Our holidays are in
creasing in their frequency. The whole
trend of our life is to devote less of
our time to bread-winning and more Of
II to the free pursuit of individual de-
sires. But the problem is only half
solved when the world has learned
how to get livelihood out of less
hours of the day and less days of the
year. The greater problem is how to
utilize leisure to advantage, with all
it's possibilities for improvement or in
jury.
In this work-a-day world leisure
must be regarded as a credit.

susTENANcE FOR THE PRoDlGAL
"Husks" Are Still Used as Food Along
the Mediterranean.

Are the "husks" of the parable of
the prodigal son still extant in the
countries bordering on the Mediter-
ranean? Consul General Ravndal,
writing from Beirut, says that they
are, and that they are now called
"carobs'' or locust beans" He con-
tinues: Arabs and Moors eat them
In the south of Europe they are en-
ployed as food for horses, cattle and
swine. The total yield in Cyprus Of
carobs or locust beans mot to be con-
founded with St John's) in 1906
amounted to $4,000 tons.
On account of the abundant sugar
contained in CAROLS the latter form a
nutritious and fattening food for
horses and cattle. ! am informed that
a considerable quantity of this cattle
food is exported from Great Britain
to the United States.
"One variety of the carob is called
in Cyprus 'apostolike' This, however,
is not so named after the apostle
1T means that the tree is sent (by

kangaroo as a Food.

Twenty or 80 years ago the back
country squatters, in order to destroy
kangaroos, used to dig huge pits at
the corners of their paddocks, running
yards of calico along their wire fences
and then drive the kangaroos into the
pits, clubbing and shooting them. In
those days kangaroo skins were of no
value; now that they are almost ex.
tinct, there is great demand for
them. The flesh of young kangaroo
is by no means to be despised, and
kangaroo tail soup is a delicacy now
hardly to be obtained.

Grain Elevator collanses.

Iogan.-The Nicola grain elevator
located at Persia, collapsed with 1O,-
900 bushels of grain in storage on
the 31st. The workmen sent by the
company to strengthen the struc-
ture had a narrow escape, as they
had completed their work and had
left the building but few minutes
before the crash came. The grains
are badly mixed, and the elevator is
said to be badly damaged, but to
what extent cannot be determined
until the worlsmen have completed
the removal of the grain.

Mans Mission 40 q Citizen.

Some have said that it is not the
business of private men to NEEDLE
with governmental bold and dishon-
est saying, which is fit to come from
no mouth but that of tyrant or a
slave. To shy that private men have
nothing to do with government is to
say that private men have nothing to
do with their own happiness or mis-
cry; that people ought not to concern
themselves whether they be naked or
clothed fed or starved, deceived or in
