CARRIED BY 200 MAJORITY.
Liberal Votes $4,000 Bonds to Gar
den City and Gulf Road.


Liberal Kan, March 9.-At a special
election held here for the purpose of
voting ncgotia BILE bonds in the sum OF
$4,000 to aid the Garden City. Gulf &
Northern Railroad company in secur-
ing and paying for right of way, depot
grounds and terminal facilities in Lib
erai, the proposition carried by 200 ma
jority. Owing to the fact that there
was but little opposition to the pro-
posed aid only about 50 per cent of the
vote was cast.
This completes the list of subsidies
for the Garden City. Gulf & Northern
between this point and Garden City and
the construction work will begin this
week and pushed all along the line in
order to earn the subsidies which are
conditional that the road is built and
in operation between Garden City and
Liberal on or before December 81, this
year.
This railroad Is the beginning of
the realization of plans that have been
maturing for several years for the
construction of much needed north
and south road through western Kan
sas to the gulf and it is the purpose
of the company to push the construc
ton as rapidly as possible to complete
the line to a suitable gulf port by the
time the Panama canal is completed.
The distance between Liberal and
Garden City is about 10 miles and the
country between is one of the richest
sections in the west as far as the fer
llHly OF the SOll Is concerned, out OW-
iEg to the lack of railroad facilities it
has remained undevelopeG and unoccu-
pied except by those engaged princi-
palIy In stock raising. With the adj
vent of the new railroad. however, the
IA pid and sure development of this sec
ton is assured. 1t will only be a ques-
ton of a few years till its broad acres
of rich native crosses will give way to
extensive wheat. corn and broom corn
fields and the stock man yield his rich
heritage to the progressive farmer. The
natural advantages by reason of loca-
ton and commercial facilities, Liberal
will become a power along with the
other great cities of the state and the
capital city of the southwest.

around Chapman are considerably en-
couraged over the outlook of the
wheat fields that ten days ago seemed

finishing the huslzing of their 1909
crop of corn while in the same field
other teams are busy putting in crop
of oats. Fruit prospects yet seem good

Macs up on the top step. Just be-
cause Lyons won the pennant last
year, the fans there think they can
do it again this year and they have
been hollering ever since they won
that 81 inning game from u.s. But
they'll see when they come over this
year. Their team is a great deal
going to be stronger. We have all of
last years men left and some corSers
signed up in addition. We will have
a team that will put Lyons in the
shade. Our pitching staff will be a
lot stronger and not weaker like
Lyons and Hutchinson. Remember
we got in some good ones at the close
OF last season and they will be back.
We have a new manager and will win
that rag. Also if any one will look
back, we had the best team last year.
