About The North Beaver Flats

wish to say word of this plsas-
ant land, its citizens and its past,
present and future.
In the years long past when cross
ing the flats from Schuhmacher's
ranch on the Cimarron to the Beaver
l was always pleased with the gentle
undulating lay of the general sur
face. The rounded hills with the
heavily swarded buffalo grass val
legs between were always a sight to
satisfy, and to bring up views of the
coming time when these pretty val
legs would be yellow with the rich
ness of the farmers best crop. The
day just mentioned seemed then far,
very'far distant, but l have lived to
see it, and hope to live some time
yet. Recently passed over nearly
the old trail, say nearly, for while
that highway followed the easiest
route for wagons, now one must
keep to section lines without regard
to the lay of the country or its
adaptabihty for wagon traffic. Then
there was two or three sod houses
between the Cimarron and h e
Beaver. Now o. nearly every
quarter section there is a good
frame house with barn and out
houses. Then cattle and antelope
with the sneaking coyote, were
nearly all the signs of life to be
seen, aside from the freighter from
the panhandle of Texas with his
mule team and trail wagons.
Today on every side is growing
crops, farmers with pillow or header,
or cultivator busily at work produc-

in larger quantities than ever before.
In talking with Mr.. Sorter of the
north Beaver flats last week, he told
me that, standing on his header, he
saw seven other headers at work,
that he counted 200 wheat stacks
that would average 100 bushels to
the stack. And mind: that cutting
was then yet in progress. An esti-
mate by we'll posted farmer that
there was in sight from his farm
80, 900 bushels of small grain.
Said Mr.. Sorter: awe like to
trade at Meade; the merchants use
us right, the roads are the best over
which we can reach a railroad
market. There are only two or
three places which must be fixed,
and then man can haul from a ton
and half to two tons from our
country to Meade. Every one
comes to the steel bridge to cross
the Cimarron.
At Mr.. Borchers the crossing of
Stumps Aroya is bad and must be
fixed. 1t needs small bridge, and
short distance must be mended
with sandhill road such as has
been builded south of Dodge City,
but his is only distance of a few
rods.
Brethren think on these things.

Senior Automobile Party.

The members of the Senior Class enjoyed a most delightful time last night. The affair being an automo- bile ride through the city. Six au- tomobiles were loaned the class by friends. who are in thorough sym nathv with them during the most mo- menteus time of their lives. In fact who could be so hardhearted as to re- fusA the sweet girl graduate anythins' Their sincere thanks are due the fol- lowing gentlemen for the generous loan of their automobiles: Felix Smart. J. F. Rutherford, w. T. Amis, w. N. Trulock, P. P. Byrd, w. w. Byrd and Durham Brothers. Their kindness will always be remembered and treasured as one of the sweetest memories of this eventful period of their lives. Words are too tame to describe the glorious time enjoyed during the ride. With their singing, college yells, joking and merrymak- ing generally, the pleasures of the ev- ening could hardly be surpassed. But this is only one ocasion of many more delightful ones to follow, before these young people will write finis to their school days. Never in the history of the school has the graduates enjoyed sc many social honors. It has been one continual round of pleasure, day and night. Now they have on the program a theater party and trolley ride. They will make themselves heard on each occasion. Last night the city was covered by the pupils in the automobiles and at late hour a tempting luncheon was served on the macadam road, south of the city. The entire senior class participated with the teachers, Miss Wood, Miss Gib- son and Professors srygley and Me- Kenzie as chaperones.

An Unusual Opportunity.

The young clergyman had been urg-
ed by his bishop to raise in his small
parish as large a sum as possible to
swell the fund for the people of far.
of isle.
The rector had put the need before
his people as graphically as, he was
able, but he was not gifted with. elo-
quence, and felt that his appeal had
not struck home to the hearts of his
listeners. He made last attempt
to rouse their enthusiasm for the
worthy cause.
Think or them, so far away" he
said, earnestly. Think Of twenty
thousand persons living without the
privileges of Christian burial, while
any Of you here in this little town
may have the advantages of four hand
some cemeteries-and give of your
abundance, my brethren, to those who
have nothing. Companion.

"The Ozark Center win gradually

population depending upon the tim
