JOHN CARMICHAEL PURCHASES
BLOCK OF SEVEN HUNDRED
AND FIFTY BALES AT
FORTY-FIvE CENTS.
THE STRENGTHENS MARKET
Second Largest Deal of This Season
Several Eastern Orders Put On
Market At Better Prices Than Lo-
cal Dealers Have Been Willing to
Pay at Any Time Lately.

One Of the largest hop deals Of the
season was closed at Salem recently
when John Carmichael bought a.
block of $50 bales at 45 cents for
shipment to London.
The hops purchased were 300 bales
of the George L. Rose crop, 100
bales Of the Rose & Winckler crop,
and $50 bales of hops owned by
Squire Farrar. In the amount of
money involved this transaction has
been exceeded by only one this sea-
son, the purchase of the Krebs crop
of 1900 bales by I. A. Livesley Il
Company.
Glad of Sale.
Present owners of hops are glad
to see this large quantity sent out
of the country, as it will mean IA
much stronger market should the
American demand become urgent.
The larger part of the recent buying
has been for foreign account. Pur-
chases by Lawson have amounted to
over 1850 bales.
Several Eastern orders were on
the market yesterday at better prices
than the dealers in that part of the
country have lately been willing to
pay. They offered "A cents for al
most any kind of prime hop and
431a cents for medium to primes.
A local dealer sold a carload Of
choice hops TO an Eastern firm at
46 cents Z. o. b. cars Portland.

Of Circuit Court, Dept No. 1.

Engaged in handling the various
cases ON one of the largest dockets
in the history of the county, Circuit
Court is still in session and will
probably continue so until some time
next week. Since the Magers trial,
the principal feature of interest in
connection with the term has been
the suits of Alma Ballard and Ew-
ing Brothers against Polk county for
the purpose of recovering damages
caused by the opening of what is
generally known. as the Dallas-MOn-
mouth road which crosses a portion
of their property. The opening of
the road has been before the county
court heretofore on petition of j.
G. VanOrsdel and others, and diff
ferent sets of viewers have been APP
pointed from time to time to assess
the damages. By stipulation of the
parties to the suit, both cases were
tried together. The. verdict of the
jury was as follows: "We, the jury
in the above entitled action, assess
the damages of the appellant, Alma
Ballard, by reason of the appropria-
ton for county road purposes of
her land described in the transcript,
at the sum of $780," Damages to
the amount of $217 were awarded
Ewing Brothers, the other appellants.

week was quite a success, a n d

both the meetings and at the stock

Prof. Wheeler of the X. S. A. G,
A number of good papers were

every day that we must get to-
gether and work for the best in

ness, it should be enough to con-
vince the most dubious that CO.

urday inspecting the new well at
the Rock Island which one of bis
outfits has just completed, He
owns a number of different drill
ing outfits is the U. S. and has the
largest concern of its kind in the
country. He is also deeply in
terested in the opening up of the
southwest, and wants to see a deep
well proposition launched here at
Liberal. He has offered to do the
work at the rock bottom price,
and in addition to donate $500.00
to the enterprise. This looks
good, and coming from an ex-
perienced man in the drilling busi-
ness should not be lightly over
looked. The outfit which was
used in drilling the Rock Island
we'll here was taken to Kismet.

They Vote 1t Down.

AT a fairly we'll attended meet
ing of the Commercial Club here
last Tuesday night, the proposition
of offering a site to the state for a
tuberculosis hospital here was
voted down. Rep. Wheeler had
written DR.. Smith the first of the
week asking him to put the prop
osition of the state institution for
consumptives before the club, and
asked them to give site for the
hospital if it should be located
he se.
Several of those present we're in
favor of having the hospital locat-
ed here, but the majority we're
too much interested in the town
to have it advertised as a resort
for consumptives. 1t was also
suggested that the hospital would
bring many here who would not
be able to enter the hospital, and
throw them on the town.
1t might also be mentioned in
passing that the legislator from
this county was elected on plat
form of getting a normal school
and an agricultural experimental
station for Liberal. Now these
promises materialize in the form
of a tuberculosis hospital, and
Liberal has shown that she isn't
going to take just any old bug
house the state might locate here.

EDITORS
IN LIBERAL.
Members of The Fraternity
Meet to Organize.

A number of the editors in this
section met in Liberal las
Tuesday to organize an editorial
association. The call was issued
last week. and owing to various
troubles, several editors were un-
able to come. The meeting was
held in the club room at nine
O'Clock Tuesday morning. After
a few minutes discussion of the
various problems of the business,
the meeting was called to order.
Besides the editors of the local
newspapers, Editor Harvey of the
Bucklin Banner, Editor Miller of
the Meade News, Editor McCon-
mel of the Plains Journal, Editor
Anderson of the Hugoton Hermes,
and Editor Stanton of the Fowler
Gazette were in attendance.
Editor Millman was elected
President, Editor Zimmerman of
Guymon, First Vice-President, Ed
itor Stanton Second Vice-Pres.,
Editor Harvey Secretary, and Ed
itor Miller Treasurer.
The organization will be per-
fected at the next meeting which
will be held in Bucklin during the
first week of April.
Following the election of officers
the meeting adjourned, and the
visitors taken for an automobile
ride around town. Their express
ions of surprise at the progress
Liberal is making were too numer-
Gus to permit quotation. They
were all immensely pleased with
the town, and seemed to be greatly
surprised at the amount of new
building now going on. An effort
was made to secure the next meet
ing for Liberal but a compromise
with the eastern delegation seemed

State Broom Factory.

We received q letter from Rep.
Wilson of Greely county the first
of the week, asking us to circulate
a petition for installing a broom
corn plant at the state reforma-
tory at Hutchinson. He claims
for the bill that it will decrease
the price of finished brooms, and
increase the price Of broomcorn.
The matter was discussed at the
meeting of the Commercial Club
Tuesday night, and the majority
there thought that Liberal would
eventually get a broom factory,
and that the existence of such a
plant at Hutchinson, using penal
labor would be a serious handicap
to a plant here, because it would
cut of a valuable territory on the
east, and make us compete with
prison lobor. We have talked
the matter over with q number of
men, and prepared the petitions
so that all who might sign could.
There is some doubt IN our minds
as to whether or not it would be a
good thing for Liberal, but we
believe in doing everything we
can for the broomcorn market,
and if this will help even little,
we are willing to do all we can for

?. In a suit to enjoin the city from

defenses set up a counterclaim for INSTALL

Appeal from Stanton county.
REVERSED.
Syllabus. BY the Court. Benson, J..
A tax deed issued under section 9475 of
the General Statutes of 1909, upon a COM
promise of delinquent taxes contained the
following recital:
And whereas, three years had expired
from date of said sale and no person had
offered to redeem said property, or to pur-
chase the same for the amount of taxes,
penalties and costs due thereon; where
upon the county commissioners of said
county did, on the 3rd day of january
A. p. 1899, by order of said board au-
thorize the county treasurer to execute
and the county clerk to assign the several
certificates of the sale of the several
tracts OF property hereinbefore numbered
and described, to John Plummer on pay
ment to said treasurer of the several
sums of money as follows: -
The deed which had been of record more
than five years purported to convey diff
ferent tracts, sold in different years, and
showed a sale of the tract in question in
September, 1885, for the taxes of 1895. It
is held that under the rule of liberal con-
struction applied to tax deeds on record
for five years, the recital that three years
had expired from the date of sale should
prevail over the date of the order of the
commissioners as expressed in the deed,
and that the deed should be upheld.
