Is 1t Possible?

Since the visit paid Meade by
the Wichita Boosters, several
have enumerated the benefits to
be derived were we IN direct
railroad connection with Wichita.
At one time the Wichita &
Western extended as far west as
Mullinville. The right-of-way
was secured the road graded and
the track laid that far west. In
later years the track was taken
up as far east as Pratt but the
company still retained the right
of way and have kept the taxes
paid on it.
This survey extends as far
west as the east line of Ford
county, which is about fifty
miles from Meade. Now the
question arises, could the Wich-
ita & Western be induced to ex-
tend their line west from Pratt.
There are several good towns
along the line which such an ex-
tension would benefit, and the
distance is short. 1t will cost
nothing to investigate the mat
ter, and if such thing, as the
road being extended, be POSSIBLE
it would put us in direct connect
ION with Wichita.
This seems to be chance not
to be passed by. Will some of
our Meade boosters get busy?
