tiers who want the rich reservation
lands. This Ii not a matter ON which
the friends Of the Indians can afford
to be at odds. ;

This year the Kansas City Automobile
trips extended down into OAlahoma
and up into. Nebraska. The Glidden
tour and the Salina tour havcirwelI
demonstrated that the route from Kan
sas City to Denver is the finest stretch
of auto road in the west and the send
off given this section by those two
trips have demonstrated that the road
to Hays is the grandest stretch known,
while the interest taken and the hosoi-
tality of our city and people has grown
widecast and it is about decided that
tue great Kansas City trip next spring
will be west along the Union Pacific
towns to Hays, thence south to La
Crosse, Great Bend, Hutchinson, EN-
poria, Ottawa and home, splendid
stretch of road all the way and good
towns to stop at. Hays will be night

the western trip before starting south

will have the chance of showing their
hospitality and the visitors royal
good time. They will De timed so that
they reach here about p m. and le:.ye
at eight the next morning, and have
the evening here to enjoy themselves
The Pathfinder will come this way early
in the spring and our citizens will be
kept posted of the event.
The reception given DiO Lewis, the
meeting of the tourists and the cordial
reception given by our citizens and the
interest shown by our enterprising
little city, is often talked of in the
Kansas City auto circles and club room.
These trips by strangers keeps our
little city all the time on the map and
in their minds and gives rs favorable
comment in eastern papers. 1t is the
growing, coming city in the western

Is there Coal in Russell Coun,y7

The time was when Ellis county peo-
pie hoped to get their coal from Rus
sell county, just over the line from
Freedom township and many of our
original settlers went down there and
brought home load. This local from
the Russell Record thirty one years
ago reminds old timers of the event:
The best Russell county coal we have
ever seen is now being used by Tusten,
Smyser & Co. 1t is nearly as good AS
the Boulder coal of Colorado. We
haven't the least doubt that an abun-
dance of good coal will eventual, BE-
found in Russell county"

load. 1t was rather fine stuff, slack,

Which Is Which7

Last week and this was the time set
for the supreme test of an automobile
against train for carrying messages
or a passenger in distress. But on ac-
count Of the heavy rains through Kan
sas and the terrible muddy roads it ha 8
been postponed until early in the spring.
A train will leave Kansas City over
the Union Pacific track with a full
right Of way and clear fleli to Denver.
1t will carry U S. mail so as to have
full swing over the rails. At the same
moment an auto will leave the Post
Office with u. S. mail sack, so to also
have the right of way. and will follow
along the Glidden route Through HayO
to Denver and see which can deliver
the mail. passenger or u. S. officer.
in Denver first The train viii make
no stops except to change engines, the
auto only for repairs and gasolene. It
being U. S. test the car will have full
sway, and arrangements will be made
to take on a guide from locality to
locality, and it is expected to make
much Of the route from sixty to seven
ty miles an hour. The route and trip
will be well advertised few days in
advance and the road kept as clear as
possible to avoid danger and accidents.
The car is ready at Kansas City and is
the most powerful can ever built. This
test will show the government and the
people, in case of ne cessity, whether an
auto can get there with the speed re-
quired. 1t will be. great test and
worth watching for.
In former days we had the old stage
coach, the pony, the dogs in the north.
the feet runners, and now comes the
certain auto. 1t may some day be the
balloon or the airship, but they must
depend on the upper wind, while these
powerful cars, like war ships or the
army, can always be kept on hand for
an emergency.

Still Carries the Mail.

! Russell has had its trouble of having
its mail ground up by the fast flyer
mail train, and petitioned by its post
master through Senator Curtis to the
Postmaster General to have the night
mail carried by the regular passenger
train that stops at the principal sta
tions as in olden times. The p NJ.
General considered it and rejected the
petition. He wrote Postmaster Boyd
thus: II have to Saaviea that it is not
Thought it would be for the best inter
ests of the service to make any change
in the running of the car. Train 101
leaves Kansas City at 1925 p. m. and
train 109 at 6 p. m, The former train
therefore receives mail from several
important connections which the latter
would not and it also takes up over
four hours daily accumulation of mail
at Kansas City and delivers it at Rus
sell, Kansas, before Office hours the
following morning.
The matter of frequent Irregularities
in the delivery of ma ], however, will
be given prompt attention and it is
hoped some action can be taken which
will prevent further instances of this
kind
A conference with Agent Noble at
our depot reveals the fact that the fast
mail train will not stop at Hays. as re-
quested by the petition. He has so far
been unable to get the passenger de-
partment to even consent to let through
passengers on or off, or TO even let
some ladies off, who are proposing to
come through direct from the east on
Pullmans with stop-over privileges at
Hays. Only by going to Ellis and re-
tnrning by the morning pa ssenger
train, if the mail train happens to be
on time. can it be accomplished We
also learn from railroad records that it
costs railroad from So to $40 for wear
and tear on equipment every time they
stop train. So Hays will continue to
only be whistling station.

morning was fine. Many either sat up
until a. m. or got up at that time and
right over the reservation south of
town the moon was seen with quite
black eye. AS you watched it the

it was all covered and showed a red
halo, then it gradually went off and at

looking as ever, winking it's usual wink
