Trains to be in Operation
Bv November

Monday morning o. NJ. Woods and
John w. Baughman drove to Plains
and succeeded in spunging a din
ner at a friends house there and
about two o'clock Mr.. Don T. Ed
wards was persuaded to drive them
up near the new town of Copeland
on the Santa Fe cutoff in western
Gray county, where they witnessed
the operation of the big track ma
chine. which was then working on
the Sc 4-29-3O, Gray county.
They described the machine as a
large derrick and an extension over
the front end of fiat car on which
was mounted stationary steam en-
CINE running series of rails on each
side of the cars in the rear of the
track car. On one side it brought
up steel rails with fish plates bolted
to one end. On the other side It
brought up ties and deposited in
front of the track laying machine,
the ties being placed by hand labor
and the rails Immediately lowered
on these and clamped firmly to allow
the train to pass over them. The
spiking was done in the rear of the
train which consisted first of the
track laying car, followed by three
fiat cars loaded with steel rails, then
seven cars loaded with creOsated
ties, then the locomotive and tender
followed by fiat car of tie spikes
in kegs, About 100 men were spik-
ing behind and about so men were
employed In front of the track lay
Ing train. At the place where they
witnessed the work, about so men
were employed in forming a large
crib across draw where a bridge
will later be built, and they took
some pictures of the train in opera
ton over 80 feet above the bottom
of the draw. By actual count the
train was moving a rail length each
time, depositing the ties and drop
ping two rails on an average of one
and one-half minutes for each rail
length.
The superintendent of the con-
structiOn train stated they would be
10 the Haskell county line by Tues
day night and would have been there
Monday night but for the fact they
nau a strlke among the workers
which has delayed them a day and as
soon as they reach the Haskell coun-
ty line their forces would he taken
back to finish up the track and it is
likely that track laying would not
begin until the 10th of July, at which
time they expected to be able to
lay, without stopping, the track as
far as Santanta, which is 81 miles
north and miles west of Liberal.
The grading in Haskell county not
being quite completed caused the de-
lay, but II is expected it will all be
finished in two weeks and the grad
ers will then move to the west line
OF Haskell county and be scattered
along through northeast Stevens to
Hugoton to which latter point it is
expected the track will be some time
in November and trains in operation.

On Wednesday night
A crowd took fight,

On Wednesday night
A crowd took flight
BY the moonlight bright,
Some fires to light.
Baughman and YOCum for kindling
were sent,
Upon this errand they seemed most
intent.
Mr.. Gaw's time, with the ladies was
spent;
He said he was glad that the other
two went.
Grandpa Stevenson went as a nurse
We could not do better, and surely
no worse
AS soon as the baby began to furse,
He thO't it was time for the crowd
to dispense.
Taylor was hungry, and said he
must eat
He ate with his hands; he ate with
his feet.
And dear little Flo. whom we all
know,
Says: you did not So
When you were my beau.
Next we have Ella,
IlCl DluG CJC0 oO
With which caught fellow,
For she was a Bella
Another was Grace,
Who sure fed her face,
She then set the pace
For the "big-fOot' race.
There comes Lucy,
Who always Is sprucy
She likes her fruit juicy
And is nobody's goOsey.
Anna was there,
With weenles to spare
And hoped on this lark
That they would not bark.
Oh, My! Mrs. Bud,
Fell down in the mud.
She spilled all the spuds
And ruined her buds.
Dear little Robert, who's always
happy,
When he gets sleepy, is sent to his
pappy.
For further information, ask Baby
He can't tell
Neither can he spell.

Here are few hints to those who
are in the business of raising market
poultry: Market the roostere eepa-
rately. Aim to attract the eye Of the
buyer. Have regular market days.
Try to build up a reputation for prime
stock. Grow bone and muscle first.
and then fatten. Big combed broilers
are apt to be wrongly classified In
market. Always notify your commits
sion merchant before shipping. Young
fowls shipped with old stock will CON-
mand old stock prices. Poultry should
be killed the day before marketing
when going direct to the consumer.
Do not mix white-skinned chickens In
the same shipment with yellow
skinned ones. Have tag fastened on
each fowl you send to market. 1t is
the best way to advertise your stock.
