London, August 1S. \ Scores of
thousands of railway employees,
throughout the United Kingdom are
on a strike tonight and traffic every

servants declare that 100000 men,

say these figures are exaggerated and

passenger service is possible with
great difficulty.

labor war, yet tonight they have been
unable to stay the movement that

raids and close the inlets to the
sounds. Hatteras was the chief point
of Offense, and the inlet had been forti-
fed with two works commanding the
ship channel.
On the point of Hatteras island
south of the cape, where the channel
passes through the narrow bluffs, the
North Carolinians built a fort cover
ing an acre and half of ground,
with bOmbproof chambers, mounting
twenty-five guns. This was the main
point of resistance. The mouth of the
inlet is covered by sand bar, which
cOmpels ships to follow narrow chan
mel in order to pass through, and
hence there was no sea room for
maneuver in front of the hostile guns.
South of Fort Hatteras, the large one

mile wide, which ships must cross in

The Rock Island Is Helping
Liberal All the
Time.

The past month the Rock Island
has been spending quite a lot OF
money in improving the general
appearance of their property here.
The freight house has been re-
modelled and painted and the Off
GERS installed in new quarters in
the west end Of the building where
the telegraph Office has also been
installed. The platform on the
north side of the depot has been
removed and a cinder drive has
been put In.
All of the electric light poles on
the right of way have been painted
white, and the new ornamental
iron poles for the support of the
electric lights along the platform
have also been installed. There
are also number of lights along
the south side Of the station.
There isn't a dark corner on the
platform at Liberal, and with our
excellent street lights, the town
presents an excellent appearance
to the travellers who arrive here on
the three night passenger trains.

LIBERAL GROWS
Considerable Building Going
On In the County
Seat.

In spite of the fact that money
is a rather scarce article all over
the United States right now, in
spite of the fact that our wheat
crop was short this year. and in
spite Of the fact that all the other
towns along the Rock Island from
Pratt to hasIArt are bowling about
the hard times, Liberal is forging
straight ahead, and is growing into
a bigger and better town every
day.
At the present time there are
ten new houses under construction
here, a ten thousand dollar church,
a five thousand dollar warehouse,
and a ten Thousand dollar Jail. The
cost of the residenceS now being
built range from 81, 900 to $4,000.
Besides these, about a dozen new
homes have been completed during
the past month.
Another pleasing feature Of this
work is the fact that nearly all of
it is being done by home contrac-
tors. We have plenty of good
workmen here, and the builders
here are patronizing the Liberal
men.
OF the entire number of new
houses being built this week 85
per cent OF them are being erected
for homes, Home building is the
surest sign of progress in new
territory, and it demonstrates a
good, healthy growth in town,
where the best class of people in
the world live, the home builders.
