REASON FOR CAR FaMININE

New York. Oct. "a. = B. C. Wood
worth, vice president in charge of
traffic of the Northern Pacific Rail-
way, says that the freight car short
age, which he characterizes as the
worst in the country's history, is not
due to the increase in industrial ac-
tivity.
There would be no car shortage"
Mr.. Woodwork said. were the rail-
roads not obliged to carry, in addition
to their own traffic, the enormous
coast-to-coast tonnage which was car
ried through the Panama Canal by
steamships which have wholly de-
serted this trade to seek greater
profits elsewhere. Shipowners, of
course, cannot be blamed for doing
this and they might have made some
increases in rates and kept their
vessels in this trade had 1t not been
for transcontinental railroad rates,
which cannot be raised without ap-
proval of the Federal authorities.

TURNING THEM DOWN

The graft advertising, solicitation
and donation committee has been
pretty busy turning down different
kinds of fakes which have been pre-
scented in the last few weeks. The
members have been cooperating very
we'll for the most part but little
closer cooperation on their part will
save them considerable money. For
instance, every few days persons af-
fiicted in some way are referred to
our Office to get an endorsement from
this committee to permit them solicit
ing money in the town. These per-
sons usually have solicited three or
four members and received donations
before they struck one who would re-
fer them to our office. Instead of
granting these parties an endorse
ment they are supplied with the nee
essary funds to take them to the
next town, thus saving the members
the inconvenience and trouble of hav-
ing them make canvass. Whenever
person asks you for donation re-
fer them to the chamber of commerce
Office and they will see that they are
taken care of in the proper way.
Several of the merchants have been
taking advertising in propositions
which have not had the endorsement
of the advertising committee. Most
of these cases, however, have been
local enterprises but the advertising
value was nil and might as we'll be
called donation. According to
many Of the members, the committee
is having its effect as they say it is
easily noticed that there is not so
many persons around soliciting
money as before the committee was
instituted.

ROAD NEARLY FINISHED

The mile of road east of Liberal
which is being built by the farmers
with the assistance of the Chamber
of Commerce, is nearly finished. This
brings the road up to the Liberal
township line and with the exception
Of about one and half miles the
road is good all the way into Liberal
for about seven miles. 1t is hoped
that before spring we will be able to
build the mile and a half and also
part of the road farther east. The
work which is being done on this
road will not have to be repeated for
a long time and will require only a
small amount of upkeep, such as fill
ing in holes and grading occasionally.
The gyp which forms the surface is
as hard as a pavement and makes a
road which is easily passable in the
worst weather.

ing over the real estate in this part

land looked so good to him that he
annexed four quarter sections before
leaving, which he intends to improve
and live on little later. The deal
was made through Griffith & Baugh-
man.
G. B. Fullerton, a prominent far
mer of Kiowa county, closed deal
this week with Griffith G Baughman
whereby he becomes owner of eight
quarter sections of choice Seward

decided Seward county soil was the
one best bet.
