Soubv ss. Republican Editorial As
60 ation neld at Garden City on
II Iey iast was great success.
J .etJf.re it has been considered
Ii / tlsse meetings could not be sue
&C ially lsld outside the two large
to is i. The district, Wichita and
H. .cbiason, but Garden City clearly
demo stated that the smaller towns
OF 10 district could provide as fine
en,er ajnment as the larger points.
Al il ne ded is the Garden City
sp 3 ioy doing things which this
eli, away out on the western border
Of ne tts 70 has in abundance.
Ine li.ors convened in business
se u ct the Industrial Club rooms
at ~ &C ock, after a short address
Of slco'ne from president Lynn OF
Idustrill Club, proceeded to gem
eral lchf nge Of ideas on the various
subjects Il special Importance to this
section II The state. The building Of
good roeds and particularly the plan
for oge central road up the Arkansas
valley IRON Hutchinson to the state
lire pnif a has been suggested by the
Hu'chil son News was very favorably
recelvel.
Tbs n tier Of continuing the sgi-
tat,ol or the planting Of trees and
the m re improved methods of soil
cultie came in for general endorse
men.
In short talk to the association
at this meeting on the subject OF
good roads, Judge Madison offered q
suggestion that is worthy OF thought
full consideration, which was this:
That the constitutional Inhibition
npon the state being aparty to any
internal improvement be amended to
except improvements for good roads.
Following the conclusion OF the
business session, and after luncheon,
the editors were loaded into automo-
biles rendered by the citizens OF Gar
den City aud taken for a ride Of the
splendid sandhill road. The road is
almost like an asphalt pavement,
and the party was taken over it at
rate Of speed at times equal to the
Santa Fe limited. The road is a fine
piece Of work, and is Of almost in
calculable benefit to the people Of
southern Finney and all OF Haskell
county. The increased benefits as a
trade getter to Garden City will soon
pay for it's construction many times
over.
Returning from the road trip the
party of visitors were wbisked east
past the largest mule market in the
west, where there was some eight
hundred head Of fine mules to be
seen, on out to an irrigation plant
where the pump was merrily lifting
the underAow into the resovoir.
From this point the machines were
strung out for a ten mile ride north
west through the renowned sugar
beet country, which terminated at
the great sugar-beet plant. This
concern employing, as it does when
in full campaign, some two hundred
and fifty people is thing to be proud
Of. Through the kindness Of Cen
eral Manager Gillespie and Supt.
Brisselbon, the visitors were shown
the entire plant, which was greatly
enjoyed.
At eight o'clock the Association
was the guest Of the Industrial Club
ct o substantial dinner ct the Hotel
Windsor, following which an adjourn
ment was taken to the Industrial
Club rooms for o smoker and the
speech making.
