Boy Scout Camp Life.

A representative of the News
visited the Parsons Boy Scout
Camp last Friday evening, and
enjoyed the visit immensely.
After going swimming with them
the News man was invited to stay
to supper. The menu consisted
of fried potatoes, to matoes, corn,
lemonade, raisin pie and bread
and butter-please notice the pie
and butter. At Z o'clock sharp
the big cannon that has been on
the Reunion grounds for the last
twenty years was touched of and
the flags were lowered while
Scoutmaster O'Toole played the
Star Spaugled Banner. The
scouts and visitors then partook
of a lunch brought out BY young
ladies from Baxter Springs.
During the evening two scouts
and a Baxter boy went suipe
hunting. While they were wait.
ing for snipes the rest of the
merry crowd played games. The
scouts entertained the visitors by
giving an exhibition of first aid,
also bv the playing of several
pieces BY the Boy Scout Orchestra
of Parsons, Kansas. The camp
was a very pretty place, all lit up
by the huge camp FIRE. At about
10 o'clock the snipe hunters re-
turned to camp, but strange as It
may seem they had no snipes.
After more merry making the
Baxter people climbed into the
Covey truck, which was brought
out thru the kindness of Burton
Covey and his father The
scouts then gave nine rahs for
crowd and the truck steamed of.
Everyone had a fine time with
the scouts and surely appreciated
il.
The Parsons Boy Scouts had 4
real touch of "roughing it" in
their camp at the Reunion park
last week when the temperature
took such a sudden drop. They
were without sufficient covering
for their hunks and nearly froEe.
Next day the wires between here
and Parsons we're kept busy with
appeals for blankets. They came
mostly by parcels post and the
postof6ce next day had the ap-
pearanee of a cotton warehouse.

store the other day and said to
oue of my clerks, Have you any
thing that will cure diarrhoea?"
and the clerk went and got him
a bottle OF Chamberlain's Collie,

not cure you, l will not charge

IMPROVE ROAD
Commercial Club Raising the
y Funds-County Will Share
Expense.

The cemetery road 10 going to
be graded, drained and graveled
before the fall vet season sets In.
Il will be done, We should have
provided, said the people who
are interested in the cemetery
and in good roads leading into
town, will each contribute q
small amount toward that part
of the cost which the city will
have to stand If the work is done.
The cost to the people benefited
will be small compared with the
whole cost. Ia the first place
the county commissioners have
agreed to grade the road accord
iug to lines laid out BY the county
engineer, also to put In all
necessary culverts. After the
road is graded for = distance
of two miles from the city limits
the county offers to pay one-half
the cost of spreading six inches
Of river gravel on 1t. This will
cost, it is estimated about So, 900.
This arrangement will make it
necessary 10 raise about 81 200 in
Baxter and surrounding country.
The Commercial Club voted to
set about to raise this money,
calling for donations not only
from the business men in the
city who are always thought of
6rst when there is money to raise,
but upon the farmers as we'll,
and all people who have relatives
buried in the cemetery and who
have occasion to visit the place.
Men having teams may donate
services in hauling gravel in lien
of the cash.
The News does not know of a
more worthv enterprise than this.
Good roads leading into a town
always pay. They pay the
farmer big returns in time saved,
in upkeep of vehicles and in ia.
creased size of his loads. They
pay the business man in the
number Of farmers that come to
his town in preference to going
to another town over poor roads.
Besides we ought to have 4
good road to the cemetery any
way.
The committee appointed by
President McWilliams to solicit
funds for this road improvement
is as follows: T. Conuor, Fred
Bartlett, A. c. Harvey, VIM.
Swalley, and WIN. PennOck.
This committee has sent out
the following letter to all names
they could obtained. Others who
may not get a letter, however,

THREE TO
Trio of Railroad Companies
Flirting with Our Modest
Little City.

Three separate aggregations oi
capitalists at the present time
have their eyes on Baxter Springs
All have In mind the matter OF
building an interurbau railway
connecting this city with the new
mining field to the south and
west. One company has already
built a line from Miami up
through Picher and as far as the
state line, and it is iutimated
that this company, known as the
Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri
Ry., the promoters of which are
also controlling stockholders in
the M. o. & G. railway, intends
to carry its new track about three
miles over to the M. o. & G. line
and from there run Its interurban
cars into Baxter over the track
ofthe latter company.
Saturday Baxter was visited
by a party of eastern capitalists
in company with John R. Rose,
4 promoter from Oklahoma City.
Mr.. Rose is we'll known to the
business men of this city. In
fact, some time since bonds to
the amount of $4,000 were voted
here to aid a similar project Mr..
Rose was trying to promote, but
which for some reason failed to
materialize.
Those in the party with Mr..
Rose were James F. Schoper-
hotter, Robert C. Broadbent,
George M. Priestly and Walter
M. LeFevre, all of Philadelphia;
B. L. Love of Joplin and T. S.
Harper of Oklahoma City.
These men all left their bust.
ness to come here to inspect the
territory to be covered by Mr..
Roses proposed line. This line
would start at Galena, run due
west to a point on a line between
Baxter and Columbus. From this
point a line would run north to
Columbus and another south
through Baxter Springs to
Picher. Cardin, Commerce and
other points in the new mining
territory.
The visiting party ST cnt several
hours here and talked the situa-
tiou over with ]. r. Grautha N,
who acted as spokesman for the
Commercial Club. They were
we'll impressed with the appear.
ance of this city and before leav'
ing Mr.. Rose cou6ded that he
was sanguiue the capitalists
would decide favorably on this
investment and that construction
work in earnest did not appear
very remote to him.
It is we'll known also that the
Southwest Missouri Ry., an in.
terurbau which radiates from
Joplin and has a line to Galeua,
is looking this way. Many think
this company Is the most likely
of the three to be built in the
near future. It is we'll known
that officials Of this company
have invested quite heavily in
Baxter business property and it
Is surmised that they are buying
with a definite knowledge Of
what their company proposes to
do.
Baxter has every natural and
civic advantage possible to at
tract people from the mining
district here to live and 1t is
certain that as soon a. reliable
and cheap conveyance between
the points is established our town
will experience a rapid and
healthy growth.
