A Railroad Story

Several weeks ago, G. P. Pulling
tone Kansas City arrived in
Meade with two bankers from
Paris. They had a railroad
project in mind, and with her usual
alacrity, Meade fell in line, and
the talk started. The party went
over the proposed route through
Haskell, Grant, Morton and Meade
counties, looking over theproposed
right,of-way. This week, Mr..
Fullington aud his associates of
Kansas City are sending an at
torney to Paris to report the
latest developments to the finan-
ciers, and to draw up the contracts.
The road looks so much like a sure
go, that contracts, contingent upon
the financing of the scheme have
been let. If there is no slip in
Paris, the construction of the road
will start before January the first.
The southwest terminal will be
Des Moines, N. NJ, and the road
will originate at Meade, according
to the present plans.
Last week, Jay, Min, and Frank
Ellis of Fowler passed through
Liberal in their in Ford car
on their way from the southwest
corner of the state to Des Moines,
N. M. 1t is said that they have
the contract ito furnish water for
the new road, and they were loca-
ting the wells along the proposed
route. They will also furnish the
water service equipment for the
new road, according to the rumors
around town Monday.
r. r. Wilson and G. D. Hickok
of Ulysses and John w. Baugh-
man of this city have offered to
guarantee the right of way through
Grant county, 1t is probable that
the offer will be accepted. These
men own quite a lot of land in
Grant county and are anxious to
see the road built.

In a word, not a detail Of

Many cars which sell for as
high as $1,000 have nothing
more to offer in the way of
refinement than Chalmers
cars. We couldn't make this
strong statement unless the

All that We ask is that you
compare Chalmers cars point

are confident that you will
agree with our statement that

NEW BOOKS
FOR NEXT YEAR

County Clerk Samuel NJ Sheldon is
supplying the various municipal and
township clerks throughout the coun-
ty, with the blank books for resident
hunters licenses for the year of 1912.
The blanks this year were printed
on light pink cards. For the year
1912, they will be on a light canary
yellow. One important change has
been made on the form of the new
blank. While the license is simply
good from January 1st 1912 to January
1st, 1913, space is also left to be
filled, showing the actual date of issue
by the various clerks
The game wardens have had report
ed certain cases of parties going gun
ming with no license card, and when
they investigate they find card duly
taken out. With the new form of card
the date of issue will be filed when
the license is taken out and the dates
must correspond with the official rec
ords.

$3.50 ROBBED
FROM POST OFFICE
Greenwich Office Furnished
Good Haul.
THE BURGLARS ESCAPE
Early on Tuesday Morning $50 in
Money and $500 in Stamps
Taken from Office.

The post Office at Greenwich was
robbed early Tuesday morning and
about $500 worth of loot was secured
by the burglars. There was over $500
OF stamps, which the office had just
laid in in anticipation of the holiday
demand, and $3.50 in cash, which was
taken.
Entrance was made into the build
ing by breaking a glass in a rear
window, through which hand was
thrust and the catch of the window
was released, and the window was
raised.
The burglars then crawled in over
shelf which was before the window.
The door of the safe as blown off
and the rest was easy
Miss Emma L. Carney, the postmis-
tress, had placed $3.50 in the safe
when she locked it up Monday night,
and the stamps were already in the
safe, but when she entered the office
yesterday morning she found the safe
open and the contents of value gone
Beside the safe was a crowbar, a
monkey wrench, a cold chisel and a
railroad pick; these were all the prop
erty of the Central Railroad Company
and had that company's stamp on
them. The burglar or burglars had
let themselves out through the rear
door, and the only trace of them was
the tools they left behind.
Detective Frank J. Lore was sent
for yesterday afternoon and went
down in his automobile to look the
place over, but beyond what is stated
he found no tangible clues to the per-
petrators of the robbery.

STATE SENATORS
PLAN THE LAWS

Trenton, Dec. 12.-The Republican
members of the coming Senate held
three-hour conference behind closed
doors this afternoon, and when it was
over announced that it had fixed upon
March "a as a tentative date for ad-
journment. Beyond this announce
ment the only thing given out was a
statement explaining the suggestions
of the joint committee which met on
Saturday. 1t was as follows:
"In view of recent press miscon-
ceptions, brief correction from the
Senate majority is deemed proper.
Outside pressure has not been consid
cred in any matter in the past and
will not in the future, though sugges-
tions are welcome. The province of
the joint committee of the Senate and
House relates solely to procedure
to advance legislation and secure a
short session, to invite bills to meet
party pledges and see that all subjects
are covered-but not to influence leg
islation or dictate party policy or en-
croach at any point upon the equal
rights of all members. The purpose
of the majority is not to play politics,
but to advance reasonable legislation
for the states good"
1t was explained that the reasons for
bo15ioo opv f,1rthar pamC of ba
conference was the part that some of
the things decided on would be pre-
sented to the Assembly caucus next
Tuesday and that it would be discour-
teous to that branch of the Legisla-
ture to make them public until it had
acted on them.
1t was learned, however, that the
conference went over each plank in
the Republican platform and appor
toned the work of preparing the bills
and carrying them out to joint COM
mittees of the lawmakers. Senators
olgate and Edge are to frame an
automobile reciprocity bill; Senator
Pierce will look after grade cross
ing measure; Senator Gaunt is to
whip into shape bill allowing the
incorporation of mutual insurance
companies, and Senator Leavitt is to
frame jury reform measure.
After the conference Senator Edge,
the majority leader, said there would
be no change from the custom of last
year, when conferences instead of cau-
cuses were held. He said that March
"a was fixed as a tentative date of ad
journnent, not necessarily temporary,
If things worked out all right, he said,I
the Legislature would take a sine die
adjournment on that date.
The Senators will meet again on
January 4, when the bills carrying out
the platform pledges will be given to
the public.

SURMOUNT|NG
BIG DIFFICULTIES

With commendable enterprise, pluck
and perseverance, the News was pub
lished yesterday afternoon, practically
on time, and the paper was issued
from plant that but a few hours
before had been very seriously dam
aged by fire and water
To one thoroughly acquainted with
the busy daily newspaper office, an
appreciation of the task of the News
yesterday is possible. Stirring times
always in the grind and rush of get
ting out a live newspaper, and that
too when everything is thoroughly or
ganized, in perfect order, and all op-
Grating smoothly. Judge then what
heroic service was necessary yester-
day at the News Office to slush through
puddles of water, climb about charred
timbers, water dripping in rivulets
from ceilings above, type pied" and
broken machinery watersoaked, and
paper well sprinkled. But newspapers
do not stop. They come out every day.
They are expected and they always
arrive. 1t was real task performed
by the News yesterday to meet the
obligations of it's readers, and the
Pioneer unhesitatingly stamps the sue
cessful management yesterday, as
real achievement.

PUSHING WORK.

The force of bricklayers at the new
water works plant, are making the
best of this unusual December weather,
and the walls for the building are
going up very rapidly. If the weather
will hold long enough for the walls to
he laid, the roof can be put on, and
the building enclosed. And in that
event the work on the plant can con-
tinue straight through the winter
months.
