New Broomcorn
Warehouse
Lease Staked out for c. d.
Gasaway and J.A. Hook
ett B. Co.

Mr.. Ray Tripp, civil engineer
for the Rock Island, was here the
first of the week and drove the
stakes for new lease, on which a
broomcorn warehouse will be built.
The first building will be 36 x 200
feet, half of it will belong to G.
D. Gasaway and the other half to
j. A. Hockett 6 Co. of Wichita.
Another party is contemplating a
warehouse to join this one. Mr..
Gasaway is rapidly getting ready
to let the contract, which with the
trackage costs will be about $4,000.
The new warehouse shows quite a
spirit of rivalry among the buyers
here, and looks as though there
would be real competition on the
market here this fall. The new
warehouse will have capacity of
about 400 tons, and will be located
north of the Liberal elevator. The
lease includes sufficient ground for
a warehouse 400 feet long, and it
is possible there will be an extern
tion to the building proposed.

killed Sam Wood, a Kansase edi-
tor, as a result of a county seat
fight at Hugoton, Kansas, in 1891

The killing of Wood was the cul-
mination of a county seat of years
duration. Hugoton and Woods

MORE R. r. DOPE
Officers of the Clinton and
Okla. Western Ry. Co.
Here on Inspection
Trip.

Sunday evening a party of Off
GERS of the Clinton & Oklahoma
Western r, r., arrived overland
from Clinton. Their stop here
ended the third day of their in
spection of the route of the road,
which has already been surveyed
to Beaver. With the party was
W. B. Doddridge of St. Louis
who is a consulting railroad ex-
pert. He was here inspecting the
proposed route for a trust COM
pany there which is about to finance
the proposition. Mr.. Doddridge
was for several years general man
ager of the Missouri Pacific and
before that was general manager
of the Cottonbelt lines. He is a
distant relative of Mrs. L. G.
Yocum of this city and with Mr..
j. T, Lafferty was guest at the
Yocum home for dinner Sunday
evening.
T. j. Nance of Clinton, who is
president of the road, SAID to a re-
preventative of the Democrat, We
were greatly surprised at the vast
amount of fertile country between
Liberal and Clinton which has
been so we'll developed without
railroad. The trip made us even
more enthusiastic than we have
been before and | feel sure that
the report of Mr.. Doddridge will
be favorable. This means that we
will be able to finance the propo-

have a great territory tributory to

me, and we will probably make
this our northern terminal
I'VE already have twenty two
miles of the road in operation
from Clinton to Butler, and we
propose to build this extension
north as soon as we can arrange
to market our bonds. 1t is the in
tention of the promoters to- build
the road south to Chickasha as
soon as the northern extension Is
completed. We only lack the
money now and l believe that this
trip of inspection by Mr., Dodd-
ridge for the St. Louis people
means that they are ready to do
business. By the way, | want to
keep posted on what is going on
here in Liberal. Here is a dollar
and a half, send me the Liberal

to bis room at the National.
Mr.. Doddridge was not as COM
municative as most newspaper men
would have liked him to be. He
refused to tell what his report
would be. He intimated that he

Official Ban Upon
Fake Photos of Taft

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-weelS-end
tourists who. want to go back to the
folks with photographs with a real
Washington, d. c. label on them show
ing President Taft in the act of shaking
them by the hand or in earnest conver-
sation with them got an unexpected
present from Mr.. Taft. for the president
has put the official ban on these fake"
photographs.
Several days ago a Pennsylvania av-
enue photographers, whose window ex-
hibit contains many pictures of Mr..
Taft in the act of shaking hands with
various citizens whom he probably never
met, was informed by United States At
torney Wilson to leave Mr.. Taft out of
such pictures In the future. The photog-
rapher appealed to the White House
but the president upheld Mr.. Wilson.
In recent decision the supreme court
held that the photograph was a persons
own property and IT is not likely that
the present case will go to the courts.
President Roosevelt once appeared in a
fake picture apparently talking state
craft with a negro coal driver. He regis
tered an objection Immediately and the
practice was stopped.

The nuggets are about the siz of a pin

from farmer living on Grow creek,

some excitement was caused by the

TOXIC, Dec. "a conference of MEM
bers of the Japanese cabinet at which
many of the elder statesmen, including
Prince Katsura the ex-premier, were In
vited to assist, was held here Sunday.
The strictest secrecy has been main
tained regarding the subjects Of discus
SION but it is generally believed that lat
est developments of the situation in
China were under consideration. 1t is
understood that the conference reached
the conclusion that the adoption Of
republican form Of government by China
was apparently inevitable.
Information from reliable source
has reached here that the revolution
aries in China continue to insist firmly on
a republic and that the peace negotiations
now proceeding at Shanghai will result
in a rupture unless the imperial authori-
ties in Picking should yield to their de-
mands in this respect.
Most Of the powers apparently are recon-
ciled to the Inevitable tendency of the
situation. Neither Japan nor Great
Britain has any intention OF intervening
in any way in China, much less of i'm
posing any form Of government on that
country.
The general feeling here is the only
alternative for the present situation Is
for the representatives Of the imperial
government in Picking to yield.
