OF fIClAL COUNTY and CITY PAPER

The people Of Dodge City should
exercise great deal Of patience over
the interruption to the telephone SER
vice. The local exchange will be re-
built just as quickly as it can be un-
der the circumstances. The present
condition Of the lines in town 10
something that could not have been
prevented. The Postal Telegraph
company that has the strongest lines
Of poles and wires ever built was
practically wrecked from Dodge to
Kinsley from the weight Of the ice
following the recent storm. The
lines Of the local exchange were we'll
built but they were almost complete
wreck over town. The management
will make Ia record in rebuilding,
but the hundreds Of poles and wires
can not be put up in day. 1t will
cost the company alarge sum to re
build, the profits Of the business for
many months. The patrons can at
least stand it to be patient. Some OF
the rhones have been working with
out interruption. The local ex-
changes at Bucklin, Spearville and
Cimarron were put entirely out OF
business temporarily.

The Globe Clothing Company's
success in business in Dodge City
furnishes a good illustration Of the
value Of advertising. Mr.. Erhard
started in here at time when he
was told by some that there was not
room for another clothing stock. He
took a liberal space in the local pap
ers. When he was asked how long
he would want the space and position
taken he said: "Just as long as I am
in business here" There was no
doubt about the advertising PROPOSE
tion in his mind. He had been in
business and tested business meth
DDS and the store has been big sue
cess. It has been valuable to its
owners and to the town,for the Globe
Clothing Company is helping to
bring business to Dodge City from a
distance. 1t is making reputation
for itself and for the town. OF course
in addition to advertising generous
ly, Mr.. Erhard has kept fine stock,
reliable stock of good values But
that's it. The merchant who pushes
on HE advertising, always keeps a
good stock. He knows that it is
good, has confidence in it, and knows
that it will pay to advertise it.

Spearville, but what we want is some
thing great for Dodge City.
Now Mr.. Editor. before we build

let us get family on every forty
acres Of land that there are in 1000
acres within a radius of nine miles Of
Dodge City and then let Dodge City
with its alfalfa mill, sugar factory,
wheat elevators and large switching
yards for taking care Of the garden

take a large production Of the oil
wells and enjoy prairie chicken

WE HAVE THE MEN.

From the great list Of men given
by you, they are such as dare do a
good deed for the upbuilding Of a
community. They are all men Of in
tellect and business training and ar
tists in their line.
"The man who dares is the man
who shares the little graces that God
gave him."
And right here Mr.. Editor We
want to give you little information
that may prove Of interest to the
people Of Ford county. More than
twenty years ago when whole sec
tlon Of land could be had for filing
on, a great canal was built from In
gals in Gray county and passed out
over the rich and fertile table lands
Of Ford county. You may have heard
Of it or some reader may have eros
sed it in its winding path through
Ford county. I want to say that for
years this great irrigating canal was
left bleaching in the sun and that
Colorado people this year are busily
engaged in digging a mammouth
well at Ingalls, and the cleaning out
Of the canal its entire length, prepar-
ing for dams across the river and the
building Of reservoirs for the storing
Of some Of the millions Of gallons Of
water that have been passing out Of
doors since before Kansas was Kan
sas and that this ditch is now being
put in shape to begin the supplying
Of water to lands IN Ford county.
This great canal has an enormous
length and l am reliably informed
that there is five times as much land
under the ditch subject to irrigation
as there is water to take care Of.
The owners of the canal now ex-
pect to supply over $4,000 acres Of
land with water. What lands will
get this water? This is the question
for the Boosters Club of Dodge City
to look after. Immediately surround
ing Dodge City, contiguous to the
canal are more than $4,000 acres of
| and that could be IN ede to produce
enormous crc ps Of wheat, corn, alfal-
ia, sugar beets and thousands Of car
loads Of garden truck all OF which
could be delivered to Dodge City and
the Dodge City merchants benefited
as result of these crops.
The first waters that are obtained
from the great we'll that is being dug
will be for direct irrigation from the
ditch. The flood waters will have to
be carried beyond Wright to where
reservoirs are available for storing
the water. This means the irriga-
ton Of lands surrounding Spearville
which is no doubt great thing for

Supposing that your house in
Dodge City should catch on fire.
You would want to turn in the alarm
in q hurry You would realize the
necessity Of FIRE protection then and
you would want quick work. Here is
the way you would go about it. You
would go or send some one to the
telephone. When you got "Central"
you would ask to have the alarm
turned in. II it was in the day time
and not before or after Office hours,
"central" would phone to the city
clerks Office. II the clerk had not
been called out on business, he would
get the message and would ring the
fire bell as soon as possible. II it
were before or after office hours, the
alarm would be phoned to o livery
barn aero the street from the City
Hall. II there happened to be any
one there to answer the phone, they
would go or send some one to the
City Hall to ring the bell. In either
case there might easily be q delay
that would be fatal. After the alarm
i given, the volunteer frsmen who
are working at other things and scat

Dear Mr. Editor:
As a regular and interested reader
Of your valuable paper, I wish to OK

We think you are right in putting
our popular lieutent governor, W. j.
Fitzgerald at the heal Of the list,
and we also regret that you were un-
able to put all the rest Of the names,
and some that you had to leave out,
as second.
Most Of the people on this list re-
member the Santa Fe railway before
its first ties lost their new look and
helped to make the greatest epoch in
the history Of western Kansas up to
that time.
By their fearless spirit, quickness
Of the trigger and unerring aim they
were the backbone Of this community.
But since the Santa Fe begun the
running Of through trains to Califor-
MIA, the bufallo have gone ''a~ay
back" and the blood thirsty Indian
draws a bigger pension than the Civ
il war veteran, the old time Booster
seems to have forgotten that he is
more in demand than ever before.
Now let this same veteran snatch up
the banner Of progress and with one
mighty roar, Boost, Boost, Boost,
and the younger generation will fall
in line.
Let us form a Boosters Club.
Make the qualifications necessary for
membership strict, restricting it to
such members only who can qualify
either as Democrats, Republicans,
Socialists or Farmers Alliance, and
above all that they have some inter
est in seeing Ford county among the
richest and most productive on the

making Of Dodge City commercial
as well as an agricultural center.
