GRAINFTELD KEEPS BEAUTY.
Maintains Showing Along With It's
Steady Growth.

Grainfe1d, Kan. Feb. 23.-This
town maintains it's beauty along with
it's steady growth. The men who have
lived here throughout its growth and
have contributed in a great measure
in building it up are here today, many
of them and while not so active as
is the younger crowd, they are good
citizens to tie to. Many of those now
here are younger in years and business,
and this spring they will be chosen to
take up the nagem ent of the public
affairs of Grainfield, and 1t is believed
they will prove worthy successors of
their pioneer predecessors in standing
up for civic and social good.
Among the pioneers of the town are
w. ]. Heiney, present mayor, who is
directly responsible for the setting out
of shade trees in Grainfield, which has
given the town the name of tree
town; Col. S. S. Reynolds, for many
years one of the most active business
men and farmers; Geo. 6. Dryer, who
operated for years the Occidental one
of the most famous and popular hotels
in the west half of the state; T. F.

UP TO THE DEMOCRATS.
Reciprocity and Other Things Likely
TO Go to Extra Session.

Washington. Feb 23.-The chaotic
conditions existing in the United States
senate add materially to the proba-
pllty of an extra session of congress.
IN 1act, indications have begun to null
tlply that the senate leaders, having
become convinced an extra session is
unavoidable, have decided to throw
INTO that session a great deal more
than the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment, which really will he the cause
Tor the converting of the new congress.
This, it was charged by the advo-
Gates of reciprocity, viii be done to
oecloud the issue and to delay the rati-
hcatlon of the agreement by much the
same tactics that have characterized
the present session. Under the guise
OF lighting over other matters, it is
charged, consideration of the reciproc-
lty agreement will be continually post
poned.
President Taft is said to be doing all
ne can to bring the Republican lead
ers into line, but is met with opposi-
ton in both wings of the party-the
regulars and the insurgents
The prediction is freely made about
the capital that several appropriation
bills would fail of passage If this
should prove to be the case it would
mean that the supply measures pend
ing in the senate or in conference
would be thrown out in their entirety
and the making of the new measures
would be left in the hands of the new
Democratic house

LAWS OF NO AVAIL.
II the Individual Citizen Forgets His
Duty, Says L. r.

Chicago. Feb. 23.-Theodore Roose-
welt, coming, as he said. to ''endeavor
TO translate to present day needs the
work and will of Washington and Lin
coln," met with a reception here such
as was his when he was president.
The former president did not devil
ate to any appreciable extent from his
speeches of the immediate past. He
gave again his definition of new ma
uonalism,' pleaded for execution of
duty in preference to demand of
rights" and worked himself into his
former earnestness only when ad-
dressing 5000 Boy Scouts in the
board of trade building.
The keynote of his days talking was
that no amount of laws would be of
avail if the individual citizen forgot
his duty. The speaker said that after
all the trouble with this country was
not "big business wicked corpora
tons, corrupt public officers. ETC., but
the failure through carelessness, I'M
appreciation or lack of understanding,
to exercise his individual duty to him
self and his fellow men.

WHEAT YIELD SHY IN rREGo.
Still Two CoIIyer Elevators Handled
10000 Bushels.

ColIyer, Kan, Feb. 23.-The wheat
last year was shy of a big yield so far
as Trego county and Collyer were
concerned Yet the two elevators
considerable still is in the hands of
the growers It must be remembered
that the wheat raiserS in the section
of Trego county tributary to Collyer
claim that it is superior to most
wheat-producing sections and no one
seems to want to dispute it. The wheat
lands are here and the crops are rails
ed year after year, and these tell the
story.
eCollyer has a state bank and depos-
it's aggregating about $4,000. 1t has
met with fine success in this wheat
growing section. Among other progress
sive business avocations represented
here there are two elevators, four gen.
eral stores, lumber yard, drug store
two hardware and implement houses,
public school with three teachers, be-
sides three churches. 1t needs hotel
badly.
While Collyer has suffered on ac-
count OF destructive fires in the busl-
pess district it did not retard her
growth, and in the burned district sub
stantial brick, stone and cement build
ing have taken the place of the frame
structures. While the town is young
it mostly has grown up in the last
two years. 1t is also surrounded with
one of the best farming sections as the
visitor can see by the improved farms
attractive homes and roomy barns.

Union Pacific road is ]. H. Deatrich.

State Agricultural college, is to be To-
Gated in western Kansas, the Oakley
people are going to ask for its location

logical place for several reasons, one
of which is that Oakley is located in a
corner OF Logan county, and in close
proximity to the corners of Thomas,

Lincoln Center, Kan, Feb. 23.-This
town is in earnest in its efforts to find
gas, coal or salt, and will commence at
once to sink the drill. The representa-
tive business men of Lincoln have lib
orally subscribed means to push the
work. There is enough money in sight
to put down two holes if necessary.
The fact that the money was sub
scribed in so short time is an indica-
ton that they believe the stuff is here.
Quinter May Have New Paper.
There is talk of publishing daily
paper in Quinter. 1t already has a
tWice-a-week paper and it is said there
is SO much doing in the town that a
daily is needed to tell all. 1t is one of
the pushing towns in Cove county.

He is Charles Pennington, and live in

all on full feed. He keeps a large
amount of money in circulation buying
corn for feed.

sist that the road will be extended this
year from st. Francis to Falcon, Col,
near Colorado Springs. The Burlington
road is unloading large quantities of
ties at Benkalman, Neb., which If the
road is extended is believed will con-
meet at this point.
PaDer Has a New Home.
The Luray Herald is at home in it's
new building. Fred Berlin gets up a
newsy paper, and clean as a pretty

ures of his paper is the column of

Building $12, 900 Brick Church.
The Methodists are building a s12, 900
brick church in Goodland. T. P. Leon
ard, one of the pioneers of Sherman
county, promises to donate to the
church a pipe organ as soon as the
church is paid for and dedicated. AT
one time in the early settlement of
Sherman county a town was born and
named Leonard in honor of T. P. Leon
ard, the donor of the pipe organ. Like
Sherman Center, Candy, Voltaire and
Eustis the town of Leonard died in in
fancy. They were all, eontesting for
the permanent county seat of Sherman
county and Goodland won out.
Completes Waterworks System.
ST. Francis, county seat of Cheyenne
county, has completed a system of
waterworks. 1t is said the capacity
of water at the start is sufficient to
supply a population of $500, in fact, the
water is inexhaustible, besides is of
great value to land owners in the Re-
publican valley as serving to show the
wonderful possibilities of irrigation
from wells.

The Catholics of Damar, Rocks
county, expect to build a church this
year to cost not less than $35, 900. The
construction of this church will largely
depend on the crop prospects. Large
quantities of building stone is already
on the ground and the work of putting
in the foundation is under way. Here
tofore the country tributary to Damar
has been successful in growing grains.
The farmers in this section are mostly
French. They came here poor and
made money. A number of them have
retired from the farm and live in Da-

Tho Gold Dust Was There,

North America has counted as a gold
producing continent only since the late
forties. But it might well have done
so for about 200 years. According to
the London Chronicle, in the voyage
round the world which began in 1719
the privateer Captain Shelvocke found
in certain California valleys "a rich
black mold which. as you turn 1t fresh
up to the sun, appears as If inter
mingled with gold dust. Though we
were a little prejudiced." he adds.
against the thought that it could be
possible that this metal should be so
promiscuously and universally mingled
with common earth. yet we endeavor-
ed to cleanse and wash the earth from
some of it. and the more we did the
more it appeared like gold. In order
to be further satisfied l brought away
some of it. which we lost in our con
fusion in China"
