DODGE CITY WANTS RECALL.
Circulate Petitions for Custer TO
Mayor and One Commissioner.

Dodge City, Kan, Aug. 5.-There is
to be an attempt to recall Mayor Ham
ilton Bell and Commissioner T. A.
Scates and ]. F. Miller of Dodge City.
Fifty men met in the Owl club rooms
to initiate the movement, and appoint
ed a committee to circulate the recall
petitions.
Last week the police took two bar
rels of beer from the lodge room, but
it is denied that this action caused the
recall agitation. The movement is
headed by Mike Sutton, one of the old
timers. He says the commission has
sold city land cheaper than its value,
and has failed to force the telephone
company to give good service.

rectors of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford. DESTROYS of making some
experiments along this line, appropri-
ated $4,000 for identifying the cut
through which its main line runs at
Mount Vernon, N. Y. This cut ex-
tends for several miles and in places
is over a hundred feet deep. 1t is lined
in places with brown or gray stone.
The work of identifying was put in
charge of c. D. Perkins, division en-
gineer. The bitches along the tracks
were concerted, the long sIoping sides
of the cut were planted with grass
seed and then this was strewn with
Dorothy Perkins rambler roses. The
result has been a transformation of
this part of the. line. For weeks this
spring and until just recently travel
ers passing through this cut saw on
the slopes above their heads mass of
pink roses against a background OF
green sward. Each year the display
has grown more beautiful. Mr.. Per-
kins has in the last year or two ex-
tended the rosebeds until now they
are found at Stamford, Riverside.
