 ''On this scheme thousands upon thousands of government funds were spent in the preliminary education of the public in conservation fallacies and alleged abuses on the public domain and in general portraying the immi nent necessity of preventing the com

The East was led to believe that these schemes would be source of wealth to them, and the interests of posterity were played up as wholesome sentiment, together with an eXaggeratiOn of the frauds committed, the waste, the short age Of natural supply and the greed of the interests-all came in for their share of exploitation in order to pave the way for public sentiment which would back up the new order Of things, justifying federal intervention and the ovorthow Of existing laws and policies. :"

HAS SANTA FE
BOUGHT?
Report Comes That Line to
Scott City Has Been Sold

Has the Santa Fe bought the
Garden City, Gulf & Northern
line between Garden City and
Scott City9
That is the story which has
reached Hutchinson. 1t is only a
rumor, and none of the local San
ia Fe officials are in a position to
say anything about it.
But the way the story filters in
is that the trestle bridge which
was put in across the Arkansas
river at Garden City is to be torn
up and the timber used elsewhere,
and the further construction of the
G, c., G. 6 N. road south from
Garden City is to be suspended.
The road was proposed to be
built south this year from Garden
City through Haskell county toLib-
eral. 1t is now in operation from
Garden City to Scott City, and
the latter line is what the Santa
Fe is supposed to have bought.
No construction work has been
done south from Garden City
excepting the putting in of the
trestle bridge and some stock pens
and switches on the south side of
the river. Hutchinson.

We are always glad to hear of
work done on the roads and of
new methods tried in fixing them.
When you hear something about a
bad road, or bad road that has
been fixed, write us a letter telling
us how it has been done. That is
the kind of news the Democrat is
looking for.
Some of the worst roads we saw
Sunday were in Liberal township.
We are working to have the ma
nure of the city here hauled out a
little further and scattere along the
sandy roads. This could be done
at a slightly increased cost, and
would be of considerable improve
ment to the roads in the east side
of Seward township. 1t is likely
that we will be able to announce
something more definite in the
near future concerning this.

WORKING
THE ROADS.
Farmers East Of Town Have
Tried New Plan

Last Sunday, the editor had the
pleasure of taking a drive over
part of route 4 with John Thierer,
who travels the roads six days in
the week. He is an ardent booster
for good Ioads, and has been at it
for some time. Every day some
one makes the objection that we
cannot have good roads through
the sandhills in this county because
there is nothing to make them of.
The scheme of strawing the roads
has not been entirely satisfactory
because it blows out of the north
and south roads, and besides wears
out quickly. Hay seems to be bet
ter than the straw for it has a
tough fiber, and will not blow so
badly as straw. Where it is con-
yenient, the plan of cutting the
grass along the side of the road
and raking it into the road seems
to be the cheapest and best way to
fix them. An experiment that is
entirely new to US is being tried in
several parts of the county. That
is the plan of distributing the re-
fuse from the stables along sandy
stretches of the road. Henry
Huckleberry has fixed a quarter
of mile of the road just east of
his house and while it does not
go faF toward making the highway
beautiful, it does the business and
makes a bad sandy road into a
pretty good road for hauling. Sey-
eral other men on the east side
have been getting ready to go out
and work the roads.
Robert Burns is one of the best
boosters the good roads movement
has in Seward county. He has
tried straw, hay and manure and
any of them make considerable !
improvement in the sandy roads.
If possible roads should be graded |
with a high center before they are
strawed. When so little work will
produce such good results, we can
not see why farmer who uses the
roads so often should not be will
ing to go out and give a day or
two, to helping his neighbors fix
some OF the bad places. One of
the greatest difficulties in Fargo
township is the fact that there are
only two road districts in the town
ship, each one being 9 K 13 miles
This means that the road oYerseer
has to spend day or two getting
his men out, and then spend an
other day or so getting the tools
together to work with. If the
road districts there were half as
large, it would be a saving to the
in the time spent in get
ting men out and in collecting the
tools. 1t is also said that there
is not a township in the county
that has enough tools to work the
roads with.
Every one who is interested in
good roads, and in making this a
good place to live, should work
for the organization of the road
districts and the appointment of
good road overseers. When the
districts are smaller, men will be
more willing to work the roads,
for they will work on roads nearer
their homes, and can do it with
the expectation of getting some
advantage out of their work in the
use of the roads. Those who have
given their time to the roads should
indeed be commended as being
good citizens, and the
others should join the good fellows

Broomcorn

The past week has been rather
dull in broomcorn, the receipts for
the week being only 1 cars, which
brings the total for the season up
to 635 cars. The greater part Of
the brush now coming in is of an
inferior quality. The demand for
this is light the price ranging from
$40 TO $40 per ton, The top for
the week was SIS. This is hardly
a fair test of the prevailing price,
because there was no choice corn
here last week. There is still a
good demand for choice brush, and
the top will probably be from $50
to S9j per ton. Buyers say there
is little chance for advanced prices
this season unless the prospect for
next seasons crop should be ex-
ceedingly poor.
