TOWN WILL OBSERVE
HONOR FOR SHERIDAN
Ashland, Kan, Plans Celebra-
ton on Spot Where Little
Phip' Got His Promotion.

ASHLAND, Kan, August 23.-Forty-
five years ago on Mount Jesus, a hill
overlooking this village, Gen. Phil
Sheridan received his commission as
lieutenant general in the army, an event
which is to he fittingly celebrated in the
near future.
To the south Of Ashland for six miles
is Sheridan trail. over which Sheridan
passed with his Indian fighters In April,
1869. This trail Is now a toll road, along
which automobiles hum and trade cara
vans pass continuously en- route to
Oklahoma.
The toll road is a fine turnpike. Made

mand and supply. The demand is tor

IS at Ashland. The road was built TO
divert TRACE that had been gong 10
kngiewood, and then II was decided to
give it historic tinge by naming 1T
Sheridan'S trail.
Famous Trail Now Turnpike.
The business men Of Ashland thought
out the plan to build toll road. There
was no law to fit the case, but a COM
pany was formed, and the result was
that this unique western highway pad
for its construction in tolls exacted
from those who used 1T.
II has proved a wonderful illustra-
ton of the value of a good roau. 1t
would cost farmers on the average half
q cent a mile per trip over the road to
pay for it and MAINTAIN 1t II 1T had
been built by direct taxation. 1t also
shows what town can do In bringing
to it's merchants an increased trade.
for Ashland has greatly extended its
business since the turnpike was built.
Gen. Sheridan's first visit to Mount
Jesus, where now stands the town OF
Ashland, was in January. 1869. He was
marching across western Kansas to
Fort supply, then in the Indian terri
tory.
Faced Binding Blizzard.
He arrived at Ashland at nightfall in
the midst Of binding blizzard. but
fearing an attack from hostile Indians
proceeded south to Fort Supply. and
later, in April, returned and camped
here overnight on his way to Fort
Hays. He was expecting promotion.
but did not believe it would come until
he arrived at Washington.
The dispatch arrived just as ne mad
broken camp on the summit OF Mount
Jesus. AS the party was ready to leave
they saw far to the north q dark OBJ
ject moving rapidly towad them. Soon
they saw that 1t was horseman.
whose animal, fecked with foam, was
straining every muscle to reach them.
In a few moments the excited scout
recognized Sheridan among the occu-
pants of the ambulance. rose In his
sttrrups. and waving his hat In one
hand while in the other he held up
piece of yellow paper. cried out: Hur-
rah for the lieutenant general"

WINCHESTER. Va. August 2s, 1918.
Reports are current here today that
there is strong possibility of the United
states government negotiating with Noah
w. Solenberger for the purchase from the
latter of his large tract Of land several
miles southeast of Winchester, upon
which the camp of cavalry instruction is
now being held. with a view OF convert
ing the same into permanent army post.
Mr. Solenberger could not be located to-
day to ascertain whether he has been ap-
preached by representatives of the gov
eminent. and officers at the army camp
did not appear to know much about the
matter. several saying they were not In a
position to discuss what the government
may or may not do In this or any other
plan which may be in contemplation.
The reports, however, have become pref
ty widely circulated, and it was also ru-
mored that the government had obtained
an option on the Solenberger tract now in
use by the cavalry brigade. There is
much land In the same section owned by
Mr.. SOlenberger and others which Is ad-
mirably adapted to the purposes indi-
Gated. and it is understood that little, IL
any, difficulty would be encountered In
making deal.
