TRAINS TO LEAVE LATER.
D., S. S. & A. Makes Changes at Du-
luth Affecting Copper Country.
The Duluth Herald says:

The Duluth Herald says:
Though no definite information has
come as yet TO the local officials of
the Duluth. South Shore & Atlantic
relative to the new time card for that
road, it is generally expected that be-
ginning with the first of the month
the South Shore will leave here at
.6:15 for the Copper country. The pres
ent time of leaving is 5 o'clock
1t is also stated that the train from
the East, which at the present time
arrives here at SO in the afternoon,
will reach here later. There will be
no changes, as far as is known at the
present time, in the morning train
schedule.
The change in the leaving time Of
the South Shore will be made to COM
pete with the time cards of the North
western and 500 roads. These roads
come into direct competition with the
South Shore on Eastern business,
while the 500 also comes into compe-
tition with the South Shore i'm some
Of the business for the Copper Coun-
try.
The changing of the Northwestern
time card followed the setting of the
new 500 time card, and now comes
the announcement OF the setting of the
South Shores leaving time at a later
hour.
II is generally believed here that
the change will be beneficial to travel
ers. who will have more time TO con-
duct their business here in the after
noon, and in some instances save the
days stayover.
1t is stated today that some of the
South Shore officials are very much
opposed to the South Shore running
out of the new 500 depot, as they be-
lieve il will be a loss Of business to
them. The 500 at the present time
is very strong competitor of the
South Shore in certain Michigan
points. and for that reason, it is stat
ed, some of the South Shore officials
do not look kindly on the move, which
they are inclined to believe will play
into the hands of the 500.

CORN is IMPORTANT AS

TiONAl ECONOMY.
******************s

Although only about one third of the
county in which IL is grown, IL fur
nishes a volume of traffic directly and
indirectly, vital To the railroads. The
surplus above what is used on the
farm will this year contribute nearly
1000, 100000 bushels to railway traf-
flc. The Is interior markets receive
nearly 250,000,000 bushels year by
rail and 20 per cent of 1t has another
haul in the form of shipments from
these distributive centers This does
not include probably an equal amount
which enters into more direct long
haul traffic nor short haul within
the surplus corn belt
The corn movement for the new
crop began to be left about the first of
November. From that time to the end
of the year the activity is at its height.
But so universal is the commodity that
II maintains traffic in large volume
through the winter months, during
which livestock is maintained on ce-
real feedstuffs. The livestock of the
farms where corn in grown consume
about 2,0OO,OOO.OOO bushels a year AS

nainstay of American agriculture.
The progress OF corn culture has
kept pace with westward extensions OF
the frontier. Area cultivated grew
from 32,567,OOO acres i'm 1867 to more
than twice that in 1881. In 1910 the

Social Tuesday. Sept. 18th

The ice cream social and afternoon
tea given by the third section of the
Cemetery Association on Tuesday af-
ternoon of last week was equally as
gratifying as the socials given the
previous months.
The next social will be given by
the ladies of the fourth section on
Tuesday, September 18th. The la
dies composing this section are Mrs.
c. H. Rankin, Mrs. c. NJ. Johnson,
Mrs. Edwin Adams, Mrs. A. L. God
dard, Mrs. J. P. Gibson, Mrs. Emma
Johnson-Adams, Mrs. c. C. Painter,
Mrs. Ella McCracken and Mrs. H. W
Skinner.
The public is urged to patronize
these monthly socials as literally as
possible. The ladies of the Assoeia-
ton are making sacrifices to raise
funds to beautify and keep up the
cemetery grounds and they deserve
to be well patronized.

The Assassin

Mayor Vim. ]. Gaynor Of New
York was shot by discharged
watchman on Tuesday of last week
and is still in critical condition al
though reports are optimistic.
The shooting took place just as
the mayor was boarding a steamer
for a trip to Europe. The wouldbe
assassin is James J. Gallagher and
his sole grievance was the fact that
he was discharged for neglect of
duty.
This crime again emphasizes the
necessity for more rigid laws against
carrying firearms, and even calls
for restricted sales of firearms to
irresponsible parties.
The need of the hour is good,
strong, courageous men like Gaynor
in the public service but they de-
serve better protection from the
criminal class than our laws now af
ford.
What is true in New York is al
so true right here in Barber eoun-
ty. This county is still mourning
the loss of Sheriff Bud McCracken
who would be alive and among us
today but for the fact that bad men
are permitted to carry firearms.

quarters there for the next several
months They are registered as
RED" Mercer and Bob Riley

them is that of dealing out the for
hidden fluid to the thirsty hosts.
Four counts are lodged against
them, one of which is alleged to
have grown out of sales at Hazel
ton and the other three transactions
are said to have taken place at Kio-
wa.
Previous to this arrest, they were
arraigned before Judge Buchanan
at Kiowa and fined for maintaining
a nuisance near the Santa Fe depot.
Later there were other development:
and they were arrested for selling

Chapter III

Editors Index: 1 see your Lake
City correspondent pleads guilty to
the charge of ignorance. There the
chapter would have ended if he had
not opened up a new field for dis
cussion. He says he never has been
honored with the high position of
constable or serving on a country
school board. Nor do 1 know that
he ever will. 1t takes a man with
some qualifications to serve the pub
lie even in those capacities, and it is
as dangerous to the public welfare
to elect a fool to office as it is to
elect a knave. There are some peo-
pie in this country, if the gray mat
ter in their craniums were made of
pure alcohol, there would not be a
sufficient amount of it to intoxi-
cate a gnat. 1 am going to end this
controversy with your correspondent

Still Working on r. r. Extension
The prospects for extending the
kiowa, Hardtner and Pacific rail-
road west through Aetna township
and on through the western coun-
ties of Kansas into Colorado, are
growing brighter Last week the
citizens of a number of townships
in Comanche county took hold Of
the matter and the following report
appeared in a recent number of he
Wichita Eagle.
1t is hoped that the agitation
will continue until the road is ex-
tended:
"An effort is being made to Sc
cure a survey for a railroad to run
from Hardtner, in Barber county,
to the Colorado line, in a due east
and west line as near as possible. In
Comanche it would pass through
Rumsey, Sinner, Avilla and Valley
| townships.
"a. A. White is the party who is
trying to interest land owners along
| the proposed route in the PROPOSE
ton, and so far, at least, he seems
| to be arousing more or less interest.
If he could but give reasonable as
surance that the road would be
built after the preliminary work had
been done, there would be noitrouble
in receiving the necessary support
! financially and otherwise, necessary
to carry on the first work. The
proposition is to make the survey,
secure a charter and as much of the
right-of-way as possible, then inter
est eastern capital in the construc-
tion of the line. If Mr.. White can
make the necessary connections will
the required capital, all we'll and
| good-the road can be built.
"a meeting was held at the Avill;
| school house and was attended by q
good number of the land owners o,
the township, many of whom are
quite enthusiastic over the PROPOSE
ton. Meetings will follow in Rum
sey, Sinner and Valley townships.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. C.. Aubley re-
ceived letter last week from Geo.
Mawson, Mrs Aubley's father, who
resides in Canada, stating that he
and Mr.. Mawson will remove to
Florida. Mr. Mawson, since leaving
Barber county and going to Canada,
has been trying very faithfully to
reconcile himself to the frigid con-
ditions in the northland but he has
finally given it up as a hopeless
task. Mr.. and Mrs. Mawson are
about the last of the Barber county
people who went to Canada to get
away. Most of them didn't even un
pack their household effects when
they landed. They took the back
track as soon as Canada's icy at
mosphere struck them. Mr.. and

going to Florida. Their old Barber
county friends would like to have

a candidate for re-electionN this
year, and like all Democratic candi-
dates in Kansas, he has large re-
publican majority to contend with
but his excellent record during his
first term will overcome the normal
republican majority in Stevens Co.

er lived anywhere and we are

don was glad to get back to good
old Kansas. He says that Indiana
is too slow for one who has become
accustomed to the progressive west.
The country back there is no fur
ther advanced than it was 80 years
ago, the farms are cut up in 2 to 20
acre tracts and the farmers are
barely making a living. One log
hut which Mr. Gordon remembers
from his early boyhood is still
standing near his old home and it
is now almost one hundred years
old, and many other old land marks
are still there, showing practically
no progress during the past quarter
