DICKINSON COUNTY ROADS
ARE FAR TOO WIDE

II, by narrowing the public road
ways from 66 to A feet, Iowa can
give back to the farmers 100000
acres of agricultural land valued at
80 million dollars, why couldn't Kan
sas, with so foot roadways, save
nearly as much? Governor Carroll,
of Iowa, proposes to make that saw
ing by reducing all highways in that
state to uniform 40 feet. Dick
inson cOUntys road are generally
twice as wide as needed.
A big saving for Kansas could be
made in the same way, says w. ,.
Gearhart, state highway engineer at
the Kansas Agricultural Colelge. a
4O-foot road is plenty wide for traf-
fic anywhere IN the state. ANY
Kansas road, Mr.. Gearhart says, pro-
perly graded and maintained, which
is 80 feet wide between the centers
of the bitches on either side OF the
road, will accommodate any kind or
traffic SO far as width is concerned.
But the bitches should be we'll form

ga width greater than is necessary
to accommodate the traffic" said
Mr.. Gearhart, yesterday, "only gives
a place for weeds and brush to grow
1t furnishes, also. an opportunity for
in experienced road officials to waste
public funds by trying to grade up
and maintain roads 35 to SO feet
wide between the centers OF the
bitches.
ION roads having little traffic the
width between the centers of the
bitches may be reduced to 20 or
25 feet. This should be done, at
least, until more funds are available.
Roads 20 or 25 feet wide are much
cheaper to grade and drag and main

More Paving for
Z. 2 Abilene Streets

An ordinance providing for the
payment and collection of road tax
was also adopted.
The new water rate ordinance
passed by the city commissioners and
published in the Reflector today,
changes the rates in only a few in-
stances from the old schedule. Soda
fountains that formerly paid $40 per
year will now pay $40; photo gall
leries raised from $40 to $40; den-
lists with fountain cuspidors SIS;
lawn sprinkling raised from 15c per
front foot to zoe; cows from $1.5O
to 50. The meter rates are also
changed somewhat and will increase
the price paid by the Union Pacific
railroad about $50 per year, the
Belle Springs creamery will have
about the same amount added to
their yearly sum. The other two
railroad companies will not show
much Of change. The smaller con-
sumer gets a reduction as he will not
have to use such large amount OF
water to get lower rates. The flat
rate for houses is the same, and the
minimum under the meter rate is
s1.OO per quarter when occupied By
only one family.
Some people are critizing the com-
for adding six per cent
this year to their deferred street
paving tax when the paving bonds
bear only five per cent. Warrants
were at first issued to meet these
and they bore six per
cent rate and run for several months
before the bonds could be issued.
To meet this interest charge the
were compelled to add
this sum to the first payment. Here.
after the interest rate Il expected 10
be only five per cent to cover the
bond rate.

Former AbiIeneite Heir
to English Fortune

date given in the records is 1850.
This castle, in the border warfare
which was waged for the next hum
Ired years, was razed in the sixteenth
century by a band of Scots while the
Harbottles were on a trip Of invasion
into that country. II was almost de-
stroyed, but some OF the ruins are
standing.
The fame OF the castle was wide
through the land and Margaret, mo-
ther of James vi of Scotland, stop
ped here and 1t was at Harbottie
castle that the future ruler was born.
The Greeley man has memoirs OK
one OF the ladies of the castle VINO
chronicled this event and who re-
marked upon the fineness Of the rail-
ment Of the mother.
After the castle was razed what
"a known as Harbottle hall was built,
which is the family home OF the Duke
Of Northumberland today. 1t was
constructed of the ruins OF old Cas-
tie Harbottle, as is also the town
which stands on the edge OF the
estate.
The Greeley mans father was born
at Faxton hall, on the Harbottle es-
tate, and the latter's father was sent
nv the Duke of Northumberland as
emissary to the worlds fair held In
London in the early SOS. The FAM
ily branch of which the local man
is a member came to America IN
1853 and settled in Ohio. Later his
father moved to Abilene, Kan, and
was postmaster there for three terms
John Harbottle Of Greeley came TO
Weld county from Logan county
The family pedigree has been trac-
ed accurately back to the time OF
Henry /. Later there were rive
brothers noted for their great stature
and strength, and their descendants
who remained in England are today
prominent in the service Of the crown
and In other ways. The records show
that Harbottles died at the battles
OF Bannockburn and Agihcourt and
in many others. Twice since the time
OF Henry vi the Harbottles have mar
ried into the family Of Northumber-
land, Eleanor Harbottle having mar.
ried son of Henry. the fifth earl or
Northumberland, and at another
time a son married Margaret
daughter of one of the earls OF North
cumberland, in the forteenth or fif-
teenth century.
Accompanying the article are sev-
eral photographs showing the ola
ruins OF the castle and estates and are
quite interesting.

Much interest will be taken by the
old time friends of John Harbottle
In the following account from the
Denver Post, In regard to the proper
" left by his ancestors in Scotland.
John Harbottle, Sr., died several
years ago in Colorado, and his son
also named John, Intends to make
claims to property there.
Investigations begun more than a
year ago by John Harbottle of Gree
icy, during which time he has re-
ceived letters from all over the
world. to determine what chances he
had to secure his share OF the large
and valuable Harbottle estates In
Northumberland county, England,
near the small town of Harbottle,
have convinced him that there is a
probability Of successN and he will
continue his researches to see II ne
will be justified in entering upon q
long fight for the property.
Correspondence with Sir Robert @.
Harbottle, once a member OF Lord
Curzon's staff in India and now In
command of a submarine in Indian
waters. together with authenticated
records, give the young man clear
title back for twenty-five generations
when the head OF the family was
Lord Roger Harbottle.
More interesting than any rom
ance is the history of the Harbottle
family, which for more than 500
years has been a prominent and in-
fluential one in northern England.
Before Lord Rogers time there
was a vast estate known as the Reed
and Harbottle territory, which lay
within six miles of the Scottish bor-
der, along the river Coquette and
Upon which the town of Harbottle
now stands.
For subduing the north OF Eng
land, then most troublesome to the
English throne, Lord Umphraville
was given this large estate, He
changed his name to Harhpttle, al
the place already was known by that
name. In those times 1t was known
as one Of the largest and most val
liable on the island and his increased
vastly SO since. This change of name
took place about the middle of the
twelfth century. Henry II built at
his own expense castle there which
covers more than a city block. OF
ground and a portion OF which is
still in ruins. This was done OUT
of gratitude OF the crown to the
assistance the Harbottle family rem
dered in subduing the Scots, and the

he plays"
The whole campaign was financed
without any collections except the
customary Sunday evening offering.
The Committee of Twenty was
authorized to take whatever action
seems to them best to perpetuate the
ideals and plan OF work advocated
by the speakers. Accordingly a
meeting Of the COMMITTEES will be
held at the Lutheran church tonight
to audit and allow bills and decide
upon future action.

The Committee of Twenty OF the
Men and Religion Forward Move
ment met Monday at the Lutheran
church to check up the finances of
the recent campaign and to devise
plans for the future.
Chairman l. B. Martin of the fin
ance committee reported that of the
$132 originally apportioned to the
several church of the city all but
$40 had been paid in and that this
sum from the one delinquent church
would be paid in today. An addi'
tfonal item OF $6.05 from the Sun
day night collection was alst
acknowledged.
Although none of the speakers re
uuired any remuneration the com
mittee rendered every speaker
modest sum in excess of actual ex'
penses. Mr.. Hyde declined to ac
cept anything. The sums paid out
to the speakers, for printing, post
age, telephone, telegraph, hotel, hack
fare and incidentals aggregated
Sg9.SO leaving a balance OF $SS.7F
In the treasury.
In accordance with the terms upor
which the money was solicited Mr.
Martin rendered the propOrFionatt
sums of this balance to the severa
churches. Those in attendance, speak
ing for their respective churches, de-
clined to accept II. preferring that il
remain in the treasury to prosecute
the future plans of the Movement
in Abilene and Dickinson county.
The committee proceeded to organ
ize for future action, both within the
city, and for the next three months
throughout the county. j. H. Engle
and G. E. Rugh in turn declined
election as president OF the perma-
nent organization. An seemed to as
sumo that the office implies con
siderable work and responsibility
Upon the assurance OF loyal support
and distribution of labor Mr.. Engle
was finally prevailed upon to accept
Mr.. Rugh accepted the vice chair
manship. c. w. Yenser was chosen
secretary and T. B. Martin treasurer
At the next meeting, in the state
Sunday school office at nine O'Clock
