city but follows his recommendations.
and lays but three yards Of macadam
on residential streets, whereas under

architecture Of future business block:
in Calgary. He would abolish SHARP
corners of intersections Of streets, anG
substitute long gentle corners. A larg'

and civic center are features of hi
conception Of bigger and better Cal

'CH|EF SMITH Of THE M|N0T
FORCE HAS BEEN EX0NERATED

All the witnesses testified that Chief
Smith was not on the scene when tho
shooting occurred, and that, under the
circumstances he did all that any man
could do to assist the injured man, and
it was brought out that he cautioned
McCutcheon to be very careful not to
shoot anyone before the shooting was
done.
Upon advice of Attorney Nash, act
ing for Policeman McCutcheon, the
hearing Of his case was postponed un-
til August 1. It was thought that
hearing at this time might prejudice
the case when it comes up before the
district court at it's next session.

We Have Discovered

Very noticeable indeed, is the rapid
strides In the last year OF the chicken
industry OF this section. Two years
ago a flock OF thoroughbred chickens
was thing unknown TO Liberal
Lately 1t seems that a great many
are taking up the interesting
and profitable work of raising flock
OF thoroughbred chickens, We could
name dozen men within the city
limits who are giving much OF their
time and most Of their thought
toward this industry. After talking
with some OF these men 1t comes to
light that this is one of the best eli
mates and countries for chickens,
that exists anywhere. AND THERE
rs BIG MONEY IN 1T.
These men emphasize the fact that
they harvest crop every day; they
do not have to wait SIX months 10
get results. Chickens bring good
price here; so do eggs.
There are several tlocks Of very
beautiful and thoroughbred chickens
in Liberal now, that have taken many
prizes at the poultry shows up and
down the line,
T, W, Hubbard, who is one Of the
most enthusiastic chicken men N
the country, owns a large tract Of
ground In the southwest edge Of the
city and he is now having built, whal
might be termed "Chicken City" II
will be, when completed, one OF tht
neatest, most sanitary, aud most con
venient farms for the breeding o.
thoroughbred chickens, thatis to bt
found anywhere In the state.
II you want TO see q poultry show
any day in any week come TO Liberal
Ii you want to hear about thorough
bred chickens come to Liberal. If yol
want to make money by raising thor
oughbred chickens, 1t seems to VI
that now is the time to do so befor

fell weeping in each Others arms, to

act so toward one another, So with
tears Of shame streaming down their
faces and many handshakes they went

seems that the smell OF fresh meat
was TOO much for them so they grab

Perhaps We Will; Some

A certain business man In this city
received letter last week from the
vice. president OF the Ki0wa, Hardt-
ner & Pacific Railroad Co., whose Of
tices are at Hardtner, Kansas. He is
interested In all OF the railroad news
floating about that seems to involve
Liberal and the surrounding country,
and for some reason Is taking a great
interest in the game.
In his letter he wants to know
what the people Of Liberal would be
willing to do toward building an ex-
tension OF the above named railroad,
on to Liberal. They, al Hardtner
are very much interested and optim-
lstic about the future OF this section
and would much like TO see US con-
nected with that part. The gentle
man also says that the people In the
vicinity of Hardtner built the line
from Kiowa, and that Immediately
after IL was completed they leased 1t
to the Missouri Pacific Railroad ca.
They now are getting five per cent
on an investment Of sl65,OOO and have
the railroad besides.
The writer hints In his letter that
il the Liberal people could build tile
road to Hardtner, that they might
make US a good deal.
