For a Fish Hatchery
E. B. NJ.

At the special meeting Of the Com
mercial Club last Wednesday night the
question Of securing a government fish
hatchery at Medicine Lodge was pre-
sented by J. c. Gano, who has already
circulated petition and secured a vast
number Of signers. This petition togeth-
er with strong letter by President Lind
ley and Secretary Field has been for
warded to Senator Long and Congress
man Madison, by resolution Of the Club,
requesting them to urge the location Of
the hatchery near the city's water supply
north Of the city. Some time ago State
Game Warden Travis was here and
looked the ground over and made a strong
recommendation to the department a
Washington for the location Of the hatch
cry at Medicine Lodge. He stated tina
he had not seen, in all his travels over
the state, place so admirably adapted
for hatchery as there is here.
A government appropriation for the
establishment Of fish hatchery in Kan
sas has been made but the matter Of 10
cation is still open. 1t is believed that i
sufficient attention is given the projec
Medicine Lodge can land it.

Candidates for Sheriff

The usual rivalry among candidates
for sheriff will be feature Of the cam
paign this year and since candidates will
be nominated by direct primary it will be
up to the voters Of each party to decide.
Every man has vote and if any fail
to vote the blame for this or that nomi-
nation cannot be attached to any man or
set Of men.
In the democratic party c. w. Kidd,
appointed to fill the vacancy caused by
the death Of Bud McCracken, will ask

]. A. Maddox Of Sharon has signi6ed
his willingness to Stand for the nomina-
ton also and will have the enthusiastic

be others-the road is open and there
are no barriers.
We have heard several names o.
men who are desirous Of receiving the
nomination at the hands Of the republi.
can party but so far have heard Of nc
avowed candidates. But is an assured
fact that the campaign will be lively SC
far as the Office of sheriff is concerned.
