Another Railroad Rumor

The people of Liberal are inter-
ested in the progress of the railroad
development on lines projected in
this direction and the latest news
along this line is to the effect that
the NJ. X. & T. people, who are also
supposed to be behind the Wichita
Falls & Northwestern now building
near us to the southwest, have bought
the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific.
This road is connected with Salt
Lake City with coast outlet and it
means much to the interests behind
the project to make connection and
fill up the gap between the present
terminus OF the Wichita Falls road
and Denver, a matter of three hun
dred or more miles. This accom-
plished and the long cherished line
from Seattle to Galveston will be-
come an assured feature of big rail-
reading. The Denver Post of recent
date, In giving news of the purchase
of the Denver Northwestern & Pa
cific spoke very entertainingly and
hopefully of the project being in
shape for speedy realization. Lamar
which is on the proposed route, is
eager to help the proposition along
and as they have struck fine flow
OF oil just south of the town they
are in a position to boost the new
line to the limit Other towns along
the line are more enthusiastic than
ever and are ready to lend all pos.
sible aid in the way of bonds and
other help to push the project along
Liberal and the Southwest are feel
ing good because of increased crops
! of every description and the people
are alive to the Importance attached
to the advent of this new deal. Wher
the time arrives for the submitting
of a proposition to our people we fee
confident that they will give the
matter due consideration and will
do what is right in the matter. Ii
the meantime keep ON helping Il
make Liberal the very best town IL

The advocates of advertising
scored another victory last week. A
lady in Liberal lost a pair of gold
spectacles, and'-placed an advertise
ment in one of the local newspapers,
offering a reward for their return.
Imagine, If you can, her satisfaction
in having recovered them without
anyone calling to restore them to
her. She thinks a newspaper that
can locate her spectacles, and also
quietly place them in their usual
place at home where she may find
them awaiting her, is some paper.
No one, so far, has claimed the re-
ward. She fears to mention 1t to the
publisher, for fear he may claim 1t.
