Ransom was even more lethar
gic concerning it's city election
than Ness City this year Mon
day morning a citizen of that
place knocked at the door of the
News publisher, at an hour so
early that it found that person
wrapped in the Slumber of the
just. In response to an invita-
tion to enter, the visitor said he
had been sent for the Ransom
ballots and had no time to spare.
as they wanted them in time to
open the polls at eight O'Clock.
He was somewhat set back when
informed that no order had been
received for having ballots print
ed, but, after thinking minute
or two said he would wait until
the work could be done. The
telephone became busy between
Ness City and Ransom, and, af
ter the usual hello gymnastics
were indulged in, the names of
the candidates were obtained and
the ballots printed in time for
the messenger to leave for the
north at twenty midutes past
nine O'Clock, and it is presumed
that Ransom was thus saved
from the humiliation of missing
a municipal election Ness City

A. F. McCarty, right of way
man of the Nebraska, Kansas &
Southern, started Tuesday in his
auto for Garden City. Mr. Nc
Carty says that the farmers
whose land is traversed by the
road in Rocks county are not
liberal in their treatment of an
enterprise that tpromiSeS so much
for them in the way of increased
railroad facilities, and which will
materially enhance the value of
their property. He says that
over in Finney and Hodgeman
counties most of the right of way
was donated by farmers. Of
course it makes quite difference
whether the farm is worth SO
an acre, down there, or $50 an
acre up here. Yet there should
be a spirit of encouragement and
liberality toward the enterprise,
instead of an effort to get full
damage for all the ground taken.
1t should be remembered that
the local promoters and pushers
are the parties who have to pay
for this right of way, and not the
bond holders nor the big railroad
system that will eventually oper-
ate it, Stockton Record.
