has been here overseeing the work
in the interest of the city left to-
day for Kansas City. Wednesday
afternoon, a line of hose was at
tached to the fire plug at the cor
ner of Kansas Ave. and Second
St. The pressure was excellent
and threw a stream nearly so feet
high. No leaks have been found
on the pipe line. The contractor
has bond which is up for nine
ty days, until the system may be
thoroughly tested. A number OF
meters have been ordered and will
be installed as soon as possible.

MORE RAILROAD DOPE
Prospects Brighter for South
west

A contract has been signed by
the people of the North Flats in
Beaver county, with the Wichita
Falls & Northwestern, to furnish
the right of way for that railroad,
and it is further stipulated that
the road shall be built and in
operation within twelve months.
Twenty-seven of the property
owners along the proposed route
have signed the contract, and it is
expected that the actual work of
construction will be started within
the next ten days in Beaver coun-
ty. The survey described in our
columns several weeks ago, is that
which will be followed, and it
heads straight for Liberal. 1t is
said that as soon as this contract
is completed, work on the north
extension will be suspended in
order to complete the work south
of Woodward. This looks as though
Liberal might not have the road
for another year. The fact that
Mr.. Kell has refused to take the
matter up with our people would
seem to indicate that he is not vet
ready for negotiations for terminal
facilities here. However, leak
from the Office of j. W. Baugh-
man last week developed the fact
that Mr., Baughman has just furn-
ished Mr.. Kell with plat of the
counties north and west of Liberal
together with the population of
each town and county, and also
the assessed valuation of each.
This shows that the plan for the
extension northwest of Liberal
has not yet been abandoned.

EDITORS ENTERTAINED
They Had a Good Meeting
Here

A good bunch of editors came
to Liberal Saturday for the meet
ing of the Interstate Editorial
Association. From the time they
landed until the last one left, they
seem to have a good time, the on
ly regret of the session being the
fact that several of the fellows
could not get here. The morning
was devoted to the regular busi-
ness, and the entrance of specimens
Of printing in the contest, which
is new feature of the meetings.
In the afternoon, x-Congress-
man Chas. Scott, who is also the
editor Of the lola Register, told
the editors of his trip to Europe
to the international Institute of
Agriculture. He has a wonderful
memory, a fund of information,
and is very clever speaker. His
address was enjoyed by all. The
prizes for the contest went, for
the most part, to the Liberal
Democrat, but the trophy cup was
awarded to the Bucklin Banner, as
the Democrat did not compete for
the trophy. In the evening, the
editors we're fed and sent on their
rejoicing. From our point of
view the affair was a very success
full one. and in a large measure. it
was due to the generosity of the
business men of the town who
such entertainment as the ed t RS
received here a possibility.

Among the other things a fel-

The Friends Academy

Mr.. Fred johnson OF Fowler
who was here last week, left for
his home at Fowler, on Tuesday
morning. He has taken up the
proposition of a Friends Academy
for Liberal, and has been busy in
interesting the people in this terri
tory in the proposition. To talk
with him is to become an enthhsi-
asst for the Academy, and the senti-
ment is growing for the establish
ment of such a school here. He
will return soon, and it is probable
that some definite action will be
taken in the near future.
