NOT TO RETIRE.
Robert N. Harper Will Continue as

TTeE1Qent OF C08mOer OF VOuuIoICe.
The report that Mr.. Robert n. Harper
intended to resign as president Of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce was
emphatically denied by Mr.. Harper and
his friends today.
Il shall not resign president of the
Chamber of Commerce" Mr.. Harper said.
MY position with that organization is not
viewed in the same light as my connec-
ton with banking institution. None Of
the members of the chamber has ever
suggested or intimated that / resign. On
the contrary. there seems to be a feeling
of sympathy among the members. l have
received hundreds of letters and kilograms
expressing sympathy and regret and this
fact alone is very cheering. l have made
no definite plans. and shall not do so for
some time.

Amusements.

Mahara's Minstrel, the oldest,
largest, and always the best col
ored minstrel show, will play at
Canyon City for one night only,
Friday, September 10Th.
What is more pleasing than an
old fashioned minstrel show or
musical comedy? Such is the
Mahara show.
Giving the two combined shows
with a big chorus, well trained
and beautifully costumed, makes
this company one of the very
best travelling today.
Mr. Mahara always makes a
feature of his good singing and
dancing, and has some of the
best known minstrel stars, such
as clever Billy Young, Tin
lOwsley, Geo. Taylor and Ed VIII
son. In the olio of specialties
will be seen the famous CurGe
Banton, Miss Bessie La Belle
and the great trick bicyclist
Count de RobeO. Don't fail tt
see this the biggest show of the
year.

Rev. D. M. Hawthorne re-
turned from Dimmitt, Tuesday,
where Rev. A. p. Lowery had
been holding a union meeting.
There were about Is who made
a profession, counting few who
returned to the church and re-
newed their VOWS. Nearly all of
these united with the church and
were about equally divided among
the three churches represented,
Methodist, Baptist and Presby-
terrain.
The subject to be discussed by
the pastor at the Presbyterian
church in this city at the eleven
O'Clock services next Sunday will
be THE Christian Possessions,
with text from |. Cor. 3: 21-22.
The theme at the evening service
will be 'Playing the Fool and
text found in |. Samuel 26: u.
All are especially invited to at
tend either or both services.

J. A. Mooney Dead.

Last Tuesday afternoon j. A.
Mooney died in this city after
some two weeks intense suffer

was taken sick while in town
about two weeks ago and had
steadily grown worse despite the
strenuous efforts of the physi-
clans until the end came.
The deceased came to this
county last winter from Mar
shalltown, Iowa, to which place
the remains were shipped on
Wednesday, the Odd Fellows of
this city conductingthe services.
While he had not been a citizen
of the county for a long time,
still he had many friends and
they sympathize and mourn with
the family.

meetings. winch nave Deen nelu
in this city during the past two
weeks was reached yesterday
morning when the committee of
citizens that had been appointed
came to an understanding with
Major Eugene G. Gordon and
agreed to raise the amount of
subscriptions for the new rail
road from this city to Silverton.
The exact amount of money
that will be needed cannot now
be ascertained but it will be
somewhere in the neighborhood
of S242,OO0.O0. Be it whatever it
may be this county is going to
raise the amount. We have that
reputation for undertaking such
matters and carrying them
through. If they take active in
terest in the matter and decided
to undertake it, it is considera-
bly, like the man on the street this
morning who, when asked if he
thought the road would be built,
said, "You can bet your whiskers
it will be built" and he was talk
ing to a man who takes pride in
his beard.
The News published the main
portions of the contract in its is
sue two weeks ago and we will
give the contract in full next
week. The final decision came
so late yesterday that we are not
able to give full contents of the
agreement, but it is an agree
ment that everyone should and
will be willing to assist in carry
ing out.
1t remains for every citizen of
Randall County to do his best.
Canyon City will take the lead
and all others will have to do will
be to catch step and keep up.
We publish below a statement
from one of our leading citizens
relative to the right of way:
Now that the railroad commit
tee has agreed with Major E. G.
Gordon on the term of cOntribu-
ton of new railroad south east
from Canyon City provided every
one will put his shoulder to the
wheel. Every foot of the right
of way should be given. We
sincerely believe and earnestly
hope that no one will think OF
asking a dime for right Of way
over his land. This as much as
ANYTHING else will insure the
building of said railroad and that
speedily.
Some of the people who own
land of highest price on right OF
way, say that they will give right
of way and just as much money
besides as they can to build the
railroad. Take the history OF
railroad building and there is no
an instance on record where /
close listed man who contributed
for pay for right of way over his
land that was ever satisfied will
his close tistednesS.
His conscience always hurt:
him and never can feel right II
that his neighbor helped to built
the road and gave right of way
and at the same time accepted
the benefits accruing to all on &C
count of the building of the rail
road. CITIZEN.
