THE NEW MEADE ROAD
r. 7a,seaG -a--4l--A-9r~ymvd "
C.P. Fullington Has Probably
Failed

Several months ago G. P. Full
lington and several foreigners who
we're said to be capitalists come to
Meade and spent several days
driving over the north part of
Meade county and Haskell and
Grant counties. 1t was admitted
that they were going to build a
railroad. For several days Meade
put on her best imitation of a
good live town, while the Ellis
boys drove through the territory
lookidg after the water service for
the new line, which was to run
around Liberal and HugotOn and
then come back south to the coal
fields of Colorado and New Mex
leo. The plan was really made, but
the unfortunate word was received
from Paris that the line had been
unable to raise the money owing
to the death Of somebody or other.
This has been the result OF several
months hard work on the project.
and now poor old Meade has been
counted out again. One thing
about this railroad building is cer-
tain in Southwest Kansas, and
that is that any north and south
road will come to Liberal, and any
east and west line will be sure to
to 90 through Stevens county.

THEY HAD BAD LUCK
Gulf and Northern has had
Another Set Back.

A letter received by the editor OF
the Democrat this week states tnat
the last contract let for the consruc-
ton of the Gulf & Northern which
was projected out of Goodland, Kan
sas. has failed. The history of that
line has been series of disappoint-
ments to the promoters from the very
start
John A. Keeran, who is the present
secretary OF the company, is person
ally one of the most pleasant men
in the state of Kansas. However, this
is the first venture which has seen
what appears to be absolute failure
at his hands. He has been sue
cessful business man, and has made
considerable money during the past
ten years. He is western Kansas
man. and has the fighting spirit
which has done so much for the
west, including the southwest. The
contract for the construction of the
road was a failure when first let.
Then all seemed to have been lost
but a revival of the old time spirit
came, and another contract was let.
This, also, proved to be failure,
and the men who were backing the
proposition seemed to have met de-
feat. However, undaunted, they
came back again for the third con-
tract, and this, too, resulted in only
disappointment 1t was the begin
ming of the last hard struggle. When
railroad has been kicked down the
ladder for the third time, it is hard
to recover, and it is hardly probable
that the Gulf & Northern will be
more fortunate than the others have
been. The last issue of the official
railroad guide does not mention the
road nor even the possibility Of such
line, and this seems to be conclus-
i've proof that 1t Is not Rock Island
venture as some people of this terri
tory have been led to believe. 1t has
been our opinion that the line from
Goodland would fail, but the editor
has always cherished the hope that
it might be revived At present,
there is but one thought here, that
good men tried and failed. The
Goodland men have lost considerable
money in the venture already, and
will be willing to lose more If there
is a possibility Of making the affair
a success. but it appears now that 1t
will not turn out as such. Even the
fondest hopes of the promoters have
failed. Most of their concessions
and bond issues authorized have now
expired, and the affair is practically
closed. Their success, however. lies
not in the fact that they lost, but
that they made fight for the good
of the country and failed, but spent
only their own good money in so do
ing.

notice. Five years ago Ulysses stood
on site that was heavily mortgaged
to New York and Philadelphia bond
holders. There were less than 1000
people living in the county, and this
debt of more than $500, 900 was a
burden the poor settlers could not
pay.
One night an outfit for moving
houses was landed in Ulysses from
Garden City, and the next morning
the town, New Ulysses, occupied a
new site upon which there was no
debt, four miles away.

rode in the moving church edifee

The second move to be made by
this town, in June, of next year, will
require two days, but the people look
forward to it as great outing. Re-

same position in point of being an
authority as does the publication
Of K. G. Dunn, or Bradstreets
rating book. The newest edition
of that book has just arrived in
Liberal, and now in the hands OF
l.. G. Yocum, agent of the Rock
Island here. The new edition OF
the Railroad Guide is corrected to
October, 1911, and contains 9
time table and map Of the Wichita
Falls 6 Northwestern, together
with list of the officers of the
company.
According to the Official Rail-
way Guide the w. F.& N. now has
1885 miles of railroad completed
and in operation. The line from
Wichita Falls, Tex, to Harmon,
Okla, the longest single line OF
the road, is 1925 miles long,
The line from Altus, Okla, to
Wellington, Texas, is 56.1 miles
The branch from Wichita Falls,
Texas, to Henrietta, Texas, is ~
miles long, ard the branch from
Wichita Falls to Newcastle is IS 8
miles in length. The line from
Harmon to Fort Supply is mark
ed on this map as being under
construction. A note in the time
table of the official Railway
Guide says: This road is oper-
ated by the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas Ry. For time of trains be-
ween Wichita Falls and Henrietta
Texas, see M. X. &. I. time

There are, at present, four
trains every day over the line
from Harmon to Wichita Falls,
and standard Pullman Sleeping
car equipment on trains No 3 and
No. 4 daily between Harmon and
Dallas was started on August 6.
This shows that the line is in
operation by the Katy and may be
in reality denial of the story that
this is a Hawley line. The gener-
al offices of the company are locat-
ed at Wichita Falls, Texas, in the
Northwestern Building. The list

An apparently well founded
rumor this week has it that the
new town to be started north of
Beaver City is to be called Kell.
The location of the townsite Is FIVE
miles north and a half mile west
of the present town of Beaver.
Construction contracts have al
ready been let to this point, clear
through from Woodward. Steel
laying has been completed about
IA miles this side of Woodward,
and work is progressing rapidly.
Frank Kell, who is in charge of
this construction work, was in

ing been driven here by Stub
Boyland of the Liberal Auto Sup

lieve that Mr.. Kell has not yet de-
cided to submit a proposition to

Titles in ENGLAND.
Boston.


Forty or fifty years ago few people
IN England had titles. There were
only a few decorations which entitled
their owners to put the prefix "Sir''
before their names. We all of us
looked down with lofty contempt upon
the counts and barons that were so
plentiful in continental countries. Now
we can do so no longer, for probably
there Is no other country in the world
where the traffic in titles is SO open
and SO indecent as in England. What
the number of our decorations is I do
not know, and l imagine that few do.
Every few years some new n Is Gre
ated and an Englishman with a taste
that way can easily manage to ex-
hibit himself covered with metal disks
and bits of ribbon like some success
full COW at an agricultural show. These
embellishments may 1atter the vanity
Of their wearers, but they do not In
crease the respect that is felt for Eng.
