Norton. March 27-The business

It is claimed that one of the prin-
cipaI reasons for locating the new in
sane hospital west of the 9Sth meri-
dian was to get in higher altitude
than that of most of the present in
situations. There are always some af-
ficted with diseases that would be
benefited where the air was more rari-
fed On account of this item alone,
together with the fact that Norton has
an inexhaustible supply of the purest
water, besides has an altitude of 2,30U
feet and is the halfway point between

BALLAST PLANT OPENS.
Will Furnish Ballast for Most All OF
the Central Branch.

Frankfort, kan. March 2s.-The
fires were started at the ballast plant
west of town yesterday afternoon at 2
o'clock. The company has been at
work there most all winter and have
everything ready for the burning of
ballast for most all of the Central
Branch line, and possibly will have
orders to furnish ballast for the en-
tire road before they quit. However,
the contract which they haze now will
require two years work to fulfill. They
will keep a force of about thirty men
at work and the indications are now
that the work will proceed without in
terruption until the job Is finished The
ballast will be put on the road as fast
as it is burned, which means more
work along the Central Branch and
much better roadbed.

it went after; the wholesale house and
her auditorium are living witnesses,
the latter costing about $4,000, and
the money was raised about as quickly
as a July frost would remain on the
ground. For good measure Norton has
eight churches. One of the leading
business men here says: Morton may
lose out in her ambition to secure the
insane hospital, but the town will re-
main on the map as one of the best
centers of trade in northwest Kansas;
it has always been the center of at
fractions and whenever they promise
anything they always make good"

pital for Norton are DIR. c. S. Kenney,
chairman, T. w. Simmons, c. e. Ken

Davidson and H. w. Neville. If they
let the hospital get away from them
it will be about the first public i'm

organization of the commercial club.
Both the Rock Island and Burlington
roads are represented on this COM

There is courtesy in business circles

but no business firm is trying TO crowd
out his competitor. 1t is this business
spirit that has built up Norton and put
her in advance in point OF trade and

Dog creek valley. with its thousands of
acres of alfalfa and its two lines of

RECORD BREAKER FOR KANSAS.
Inman Man Sold Cream That Tested
II Points.

Inman, Kan, March 2S.-What is
declared to be the best can of cream
ever taken to market in the state of
Kansas, was sold the other day from
the farm of Edwin Achilles to F. H.
Wheat, a local cream buyer. The
cream was tested by the most modern
methods known to cream men, and
scored II points, five points above the
best record heretofore made in the
state. Some have gone so far as to
claim that it is a worlds record, but
there is no official authority for this
claim. The average cream, it is said,
tests below 60 points.
