MORE coNDENsARY DOPE.
Meeting Monday Night Proved That
The Community Is Interested.

al OF the people Of this section are
thoroughly interested In the matter
of the establishment of a milk con
deusary at Great Bend, and are wide
awake as to the benefits and posi-
bil1ties to be derived from the build
ing of such a plant here, and it also
developed the fact that they are per
fectly willing to do their full share
in the matter OF Offering inducements
for good company to locate such
plant in Great Bend.
Probably two hundred people were
In attendance at the meeting which
was one Of the most harmonious get
together meetings between tn busi-
ness men and farmers Of the commun
ity, and demonstrated that there
was not the slightest friction such
as is common in many places.
Primarily, of course, the condensary
would be of benefit to the farmers
Of the community in which it was
located, but it is to be remembered
that the farmers are the fellows who
make the wheels go round SO far
as the business men OF this western
country are concerned, and whatever
will help the farmer will likewise be
Of benefit to the business man and
every person in the community, and
the interests here are cooperating il
way which spellsasuccess fer all col
cerned.
AS the evening was also the night
for the regular session Of the Busi-
ness Mems Association, a motion
was made and carried that all Of the
routine business be laid over and the
allowance of the bills, etc., be left
with the executive committee so that
the business proper of the evening
might receive attention.
Albert Allison, trustee Of Great
Bend township, appeared before the
meeting and ANNOUNCED that thert
was still a deficit OF about $50 IL
the amount needed for the making d
the cut and the two fills on Walnut
creek east Of town. where the road
is being Strengthened. The work has
been completed and paid for out O
the funds Of the township, with the
exception of a great deal of labol
which was donated by farmers anC
others interested, but Mr.. Allison wa!
Of the opinion that the township
should be relieved Of all Of this cost
i1asmuch as they will have to pay 70
the two approaches to the bridg'
when It is built, and will also have
to build the new road. No action wa
taken in the matter however.

of the Dundee bridge up along tn
river to the next section line, an

A committee consisting Of Ware
Baker, T. NJ. Keegan and John Nj
Mullen was appointed to wait on tn
county commissioners and to ask fC
the establishment of such road, an
did so the following day, but no a
ton was taken in the matter by Il
county board, inasmuch as the lar
owners, through whose property Il
road would run, had not waived u
