TIE BANQUET.

The business mems banquet, he d
in the Oriental on Thursday night
Of last week, was quite success as
regards numbers.
So many were there that the
number entirely exceeded the
capacity of The hotel This caused
great delay in beginning the fes,ivi
ties and SO crowded things that it
was almost impossible to wait on
She guests.
Welistened to some very eulogistic
remarks about Chanste's past aud
hopeful predictions for her future.
From the tone of the speeches
Chanutc has accomplished much
but has much more TO accomplish.
The speeches were good but some
Of them were entirely too long for
The occasion.
Tom Morrison made an excellent
toastmaster but consumed rather
too much time in consideration of
tie hour.
All told the meeting should be
productive of good if the sug
gesiions of the speakers are followed.
Any way it is very nice thing
for Chanute's business men to get
together once year and talk over
the errors of the past and arrange
for the future good of the city.

THE FLOW OF GOLD.

One thing this country is due to
learn is that making imports easier
will tend to reduce steadily the
enormous balances of trade in our
favor which have been scored year
after year since the first election of
William Mckinley and the
restoration of the American Tariff
sys,em in the Dingley law. With
all the freight bills the American
people hsvs to pay to foreign
shipowners, with the interest that
must be turned over to foreign
lenders and investors upen their
loans aud holdings in the United
States, with all the moaey spent
abroad by American travellers, with
all the sums which our alien
population sends home to help
relatives left there, We have sold so
much more of our products across
the seas than We have bought of the
products OF foreigners that, after
he deductions were made for the
payments we have mentioned, th.re
still was large balance in our favor
to be struck with shipments Of gold
to our shores.
When we are importing more and
more, with no corresponding
increase of eur exports, the falling
balance of trade N our favor will
mean a flow of gold from this
country to Europe. 1t is worth
noting that, when gold has been
coming to US from abroad, we have
always enjoyed osr greatese
prosperity and that when the tide
has run in the other direction we
have experienced our hardest tiAes.

done through farmers Institutes and

Kansas has the climate and
Alfalfa to raise enough hogs to

Wlth this cholera serum to render

thsre is no reason why the state
cannot increase its production to
the full measure of its possibilities.

give US an outlet to the river and
New Orleans and the gulf. Then
Chanute will be a main division
point on the new line. The new
round house and shops will be fillsd
up with engines and skilled men
and many more crews will be
stationed here, and the full capacity
OF the new freight depot Will be
demanded. And the mSnthly
payroll will jump from SIo5, 900
wnere it is now to S2oo, 900 or
more and present prices will seem
exceedingly low.
To the great upward pull sf the
Santa Fe, which increases all the
time, must now be added the big
Cement plant with its 900 employees
working full time and so far behind
with orders that already arrange
ments arc being made to double its
capacity.
The Glass plant with Its $50 to
200 employees.
The Western Tool and Supply
Company with quite force of high
priced men. The Star Drilling
ECompany's plant and a number of
other smaller concerns, all employ
ing laborers, and to these must be
added our two big brick plants that
smploy young army of laborers.
To these must be added the
increased wealth and productive
capacity of the suro Ing
counnys Then Why should Chanute
cease to grow and property to
increase in valus?
We have every element we ever
nad and in a greatly increased
measure. We have many recent
accessions to our town building
forces.
Property is not high now con
'idering the size of the town and
is future outlook.
The gas will go in course of time
but other fuel will take its place and
the loss will be scarcely noticed.
Chanute's prospects never looked
brighter than they do today.
Our manufacturing industries are
all running and making money and
laying out large sums of money to
labor every month.
The country around Is rapidly
improving and our railroads are
spending large sums of money In
oetterments every year.
The next great move up will come
With the trolley lines that will con-
meet us up with Kansas City,
Lawrence and Topeka on the north
md Cherryvale, independence and
Cofeyville on the south, and to our
county seat, Girard and Pittsburg
IN the east. When this line comes
We can go to the county seat any
nour in the day and not have to
sign our lives away and ride In a
slow freight.
These things are all bsund to
come, and before very long, and
Chanute's population will double
and present prices will seem
rediculously low. Last year was
rather a slow year in building
operations. yet nany cottage houses
we're built and several fiue
residences together With several
substantial business houses.
There is net a vacant business
house on the street. Rents are
good and the merchants all report
better business than the year before.
Then why should the same old cry
of "property too high" still be
heard.

consisting Of two ends and nc
middle. The mos, promising manu-
featuring interest at that time was
the old hay bsler that stoad on the
Hat some where near where Sscond
street and Malceme avenve cross.
The Santa Fe interests here were
looked after by gang Of three OF
fssr section Men and their monthly
pay roll was probably sr5o 10 Szoo.
Then vacant let's in the center OF
town, on Main street, were held al
Sa5 to $40, and nobody wanted
them. Prospective buyers thought
them too high. But Chanute kept
on building residences and oc-
casionly frame building wa
erected on Main street. Jones
teed yard came down to Wilder
corner.
In few years lots on Main street
were rated at 2 to a hundred
dollars. Every body SAID they were
too high and nobody bought unless
forced to get a lot for BUSINESS
purposes.
Finally the Santa Fe decided to
build the Girard branch and the
Longton cutoff and make Chanute
a division point on the Southern
Kansas as well as on the binnches.
Then the .ailroaa boys began to
come in and property moved up.
The boys were very slow sboul
building or buying homes because
they said the divisions would not
stay here long.
The Jones Bros. plated portion
of their ground ON the west side and
put their best lots an the market at
AZ dollars per front foot. The
home seekers said they were too
high and held off. Now many of
these lots can't be bought at $40
per foot. Then the Santa Fe monthly
payroll amounted to Sac, 900 to
$50. 900 per month and Chanute be-
gan to build. Sill many hello bss k
and SAID they would buy cheaper in
the fall. The fall come and property
had advanced. A very desirable
business lot ON Main street sold for
$1,000 and people threw up their
hands in horror. Thus time has
moved oE aAd each year has seen
many permanent improvements in
the city.
The boom Of IS struck us.
Speculation was in the air and
values scared skyward. There was
nothing behind the boom and when
the collapse came some men lost
money. But those who held on
came out all right, as prices never
went back to the point they were
before the boom, except in sases
where men had overbought and
were not able to carry the load.
Thus it has been year after year,
bersons always complaining that
property owners were keeping the
town back by holding too high.
Sllll prices have continually gone
up and good Inside property is
higher today than ever. During
the oil excitement there was flush
in prices for a shsrt time
but the prices of then seem low
now.
The factors that have made
Chanute what she is today are still
working with increased force.

elements of our prosperity, has built

FARMERS ACETATE
NEW ROAD SYSTEM

GEORGETOWN, Del, Ang. H.
Since more than $4,000 spent on Sus-
sex county roads last year has left
only a few small patches of gravel
to show for the expenditure, agitation
is being aroused by farmers for a
more systematic method of road build
ing in the county. Taking the high
est rate of road building, it is claimed
that over thirty miles of gravel road
should have been built last year, when
as a matter of fact hardly ten miles
were built.
This year $4,000 has been collected
for building roads, and, although sew
eral small roads have been built, the
road to Milford is the first real work
that has been commenced, while the
Lewes road, which was buIlt some
years ago, is lacking repair and is be-
ing allowed to run down into a sand
bed
