THE BEST PROSPECT YET
Says A Prominent Rock Is
land Man About The
W. & N.

Probably the best news in con-
nection' with the Wichita Falls
road, was received today in Liber-
al. In a letter, a very prominent
Rock Island manstays: In regard
to the Wichita Falls 6 North
western, would say that that is one
railroad story that is no joke.
This road is now owned by the
M. ks T, which in turn is own
ed bythe Hawley Syndicate. the
most5po@eFful, energetic and pro-
gressiye. railway syndicate in
AmeEica'today.9 7-Se'r'- 7~a- '.t.-e~
There is no question about
their owning the Wichita Falls
6 Northwestern, nor about their
rushing work on their new road
just as fast as men and money can
do it, There are over 1000 men
at work just north of Elk City and
the same number working south
Woodward. The contractors have
orders to rush the work to COM
pletion just as rapidly as possible
and liberal bounties are given
for completing Che work ahead of
contract time. There is hardly
less than $500,090 worth of con-
struction material in the Elk City
yards. This is sight to see.,
The new road is now completed
and is in operation out as far as
Harmon, a distance of seventeen
miles north of Elk City. By ex-
aiming the map you will see that
this is headed directly in a line for
Liberal. As you doubtless know,
Mr.. HaWley, the head of this SYM
dictate, built the Colorado Southern
and made it a highly paying road.
The Hill lines afterward got this
road away from him. and it is the
opinion of all railroad men that
Hawley is again headed direct for
Colorado and that he will go via
Liberal just as fast as he possibly
can. The beauty about this is that
they have abundant cash resources
to push the work ahead and do not
have to wait for somebody to
raise the money or for the bonuses
etc.
the completion of this railroad
will make Liberal the natural gate
way for commerce, trade and
pleasure in an immense section of
the southwest and | believe that a
population of 5000. in the next
ten years is entirely conservative.
The fact is, Liberal is. the pat-
ural gateway for commerce, and
the completion Of. the Hawley road
will give it advantages that none
of its competitors can overcome"

VANISHED GRANDEUR.
Glories Of the Thames When Lonoon
Roads Were Markets.

In Tudor times royai residences
were situated along the MiddleSex
bank Of the Thames. and splendid
hargeS manned by oarSmen in livery
were constantly coming and going be-
tween them.
THE city companies" says the Lon
don Times. "ali had their state barges
and liveried watermen. Great river
pageants were numerous. High placed
criminals Travelled down to their death
on The ebbinc tide. Ambassadors and
other ENJOYS OF foreign powers were
met al travpSpnd by the lord mayor
and his aldermen and taken by river
in stately progress To Tower stairs.

'In Queen Anne's reign there were
10000 watermen plying for hire on the
Thames and over hundred stairs,

These watermen were the 'cabbieS' OF

we read that he was so seasick that

his wifes conduct during his affliction

DEAD RECKONING.
Ono Way Of Determining a Vessels
Course on an Ocean Voyage.

Dead reckoning simply means the
computation of a ships longitude and
latitude from her movements as re-
corded In the log and without having
recourse to astronomical observations.
The chief elements from which the
reckoning Is made are these:
The point Of departure-that is, the
latitude and longitude sailed from or
last determined-the course or direc-
ton sailed in as ascertained by the
compass, the rate Of sailing. measured
from time TO time by the log, and the
time elapsed.
The various principles or methods
followed in arriving at the reckoning
are known among navigators as plain
sailing" and middle latitude sailing"
However the data thus obtained are
always liable to considerable errors by
reason Of currents, leeway. fluctuations
OF the wind and changes in the decli-
nation of the compass. The results
arrived at by dead reckoning, there
fore. must OF necessity be corrected as
often as possible by observation Of the
heavenly bodies No navigator would
risk relying wholly on this method OF
determining bis position on an ocean
voyage.-New York Times.

Of literary fame and literary person

most writings were anonymous. Es-
peclally If they were original was II
advisable that the author should not
make his personality too prominent.
While learning was always respected,
authorship never had the position In
Japan and other oriental countries
that it has enjoyed In the west from
the Greeks down TO the present.
The japanese mind will excel In the
future In many directions. but the
greatest development may be expected
in those activities for which racial
and social experience has best prepar-
ed the intellect. A strong but selective

A TURKISH SlNECURE.
Easy Job of the Idsn Who Was Ap-
pointed BUOY Tender.


Some years ago IL was resolved to
buoy the shoals In the sea OF Mar
mora. some of which extend TO mile
or more from the shore. An English
naval officer was lent by the English
TO the Turkish government In order TO
carry out this and other measures.
He laid down the buoys and was sur
prised ~ find that the Turks thought
that thereupon the whole business was
concluded. He pointed out, however.
that buoys require care, that IL Is
necessary to repaint them from time to
time, to pump the water out Of them
and 10 see that they remain duly an
chored in their right position. To con-
vince the Turks Of this took a consid
erable time; but. being at length con
vinced. they appointed a man espe
cially to take charge Of the buoys.
Some months later. however. the
English officer heard shocking reports
Of these buoys and many complaints
Of them. and on going out to inspect
them he found the paint worn off and
most Of the buoys waterlogged. Here
upon he wrathfully found the man in
charge and demanded an explanation.
The man informed him that he had
never been supplied with boat and
had therefore never been able TO visit
the buoys since he had been in charge
