for the Investment. Mr. Hulitt's faith In
the project is so great, that he is spend
ing thousands In the preliminary work,
confident that he will have no trouble in
getting the financial backing to finish it,
There would probably be no trouble any
where getting the small bonds asked for,
as each amount must by law be returned
to the county in stock Of the road.
Mr.. Greene spoke regarding the irri.
CATION part or the project, and was very
enthusiastic over the opportunity offered
at this end of the valley. He has been
studying the underfow and is of the
opinion that there is all OF the water un-
der us that can be used, aud that we can
get it up very much cheaper than many
of the irrigation districts can.
Upon motion Mr. G. W. Hoover and
DR.. G. A. Milton were appointed upon a
committee to look after the matter 10
this county. Other members of the COM
mittee will be appointed from the county
to act with them.
This matter s such big thing that
everyone interested in this county should
make careful study of it. TIE electri-
flying of the Arkansas valley will be one
of the great events of the age, if it is ac-
complished, as it is claimed that 1t will
be.

ing meeting, and the attendance was
large enough to pay out on the races and
! other expenses.

There is quite stir In Liberal over
alleged cattle stealing at present and two
men who have owned butcher shop and
two cattlemen have been arrested.
There seems TO be no doubt that good
many cattle have been stolen there and
butchered but the matter Of who has
been guilty of the stealing remains to be
proven. Suspicion was directed towards
the butchers short time ago. A man
who had two fat cattle stolen, had the
place watched and the missing cattle
were found In the slaughter house yard.
The officers watched until the animals
were being butchered then arrested the
butchers and the men who had brought
the cattle to them. 1t is claimed that
cattle have been missed from time to
time for the last year.

Informed the people that Mr.. Hulitt, who
originated the enterprise, had been given
the contract for building the railroad
line from Canon City to Dodge City, and
including a connection with another road
at Scott City, and across Ford county to

It WAS A SPLENDID MEETING
And Everybody Seemed to En-
Joy the Week Better than
They Have the Big
Meetings Of the
Past.

The Fifteenth Annual Reunion Of the
Southwestern Veterans Association closed
at Wright's park here Friday evening
with rousing campfire. This years
reunion was one of the most satisfactory
to the members of the association in the
history OF the meetings. 1t was more
particularly Soldiers reunion than
some of the meetings have been. There
we're more old soldiers registered than
at the great meeting las. year. 1t was
more thoroughly reunion and more
pleasant outing. While the week was
very warm, there were no floods to con-
tend with. The camp ground was dry
and there were fine cool evenings.
There were plenty of good meetings,
afternoon entertainment and altogether
it was an enjoyable week
II was unanimously voted to bring the
reunion to Dodge City in case the same
invitation as formerly should be extend
ed. The invitation includes guarantee
of expenses and as the meeting just
passed has been a success financially as
well as in other ways, there Is probably
no doubt that the people here will be
glad to secure the next meeting.

Members OF the Farmers
Union have been holding their
cotton for months waiting for tho

decreased, and as result the

been made whereby the farmers

lieve that Pindall had the power

majority OF the members of both
branches of the general assembly
had answered to the roll call
there would have been an extra
session in my opinion. | had no
idea but that the Senate would
assemble. was and am opposed
to an extra session and was not
in Little Rock on the 18th, but if
the session had been held would
have gone down and been with
the bunch. I believe all matters
can wait now until the meeting of
the next general assembly.
If the last legislature had
passed the committee bill the
state capitol question would now
be at an end. I think the bill
was hedged in such a manner
that there would have been no
lodging the issue. The matter
was looked into by a committee
of as good men as could be found,
an architect was employed, and
the work thoroughly investigated
and tested; at the same time a lot
of candidates were howling rot,
fraud and destruction, and offer
ing nothing themselves but de-
vastation and scandal. The bill
authorizing the work was drawn
| in such a loose manner that the
architect and commissioners
could make changes in the plans,
and many matters Of Importance
to the building were left entirely
out OF the bill. The terracing
was not mentioned in the original
specifications, and all these things
cah to my mind the fact that If
the amendment to the bill offered
by Senator King had been
adopted the bill would have been
80 firmly fixed that the work
would have been done long ago.
It would have been a shame to
have left off the upright pillars
on the west side Of the building,
which cost, | believe, $1,000
extra. The million dollar ap-
preparation for the work Is about
spent and the building yet very
incomplete. Blow the thing up
with commissioners, architect,
contractors and all, dub the
whole thing off, or appropriate
money to finish the building
properly Is the proposition.
