Rich Diggings

H. d. Shelton, of Miami wa.
in Baxter Springs Tuesday or
business. he comes frequently
and each trip falls more and more
in love with Baxter. It wouldn't
take much right now to induce
him to buy a residence property
and build q home here. Mr.,
Shelton is heavily interested iu
the mining operations near
Baxter, having the first lease on
the Hooker property on the state
line, 236 acres. Two forties oi
the tract have been proven mp
and are ready for mining.
Shafts are being sunk thereon
and mills are to be erected forth.

Prospecting is still in progress
on this property and every drill
hole brings increasing proof of
the richness of the Baxter field.
On the Bull Frog property the
last drill quit IS feat in rich ore.
The last hole on the SunfloWer
property, on the Kansas side

Surveying for Railroad.


The Southwest Missouri In
terurbau Railroad company has
had 4 crew of surveyors at work
between the river at a point near
the mouth of the creek and Mill
tary street all this week. They
are taking levels for the purpose
of locating the road into Baxter.
The route appears to strike Sher-
idan street west of the draw and
to turn at Military street. No
information can be obtained, but
Il Is apparent that the plan is to
run down Military to a point
somewhere south of River street.
It 10 likely that the city council
will take action next Tuesday
night on the application of the
company for 4 franchise to run
through Baxter on the streets of
the city. It is we'll known that
this company will ask for no
bonus of any kind, seeking only
reasonable treatment here and
from the farmers in the matter
of right of way. In this respect
Baxter may be depended upon to
do the fair-thing.

from Mr. Christmas notes relate to
the Andean Christ painting.

The peoples of the two countries
were on the verge of going to war
through the constant dispute over
the boundary, and in fact preparing
for war to. such an extent that a tax
was imposed on the populace at So

Then at last all at once it was de.
cided to try to settle the matter by
submitting the question TO King Ed

the good Bishop Benorente of Argen.
tina and Bishop Para of Chile. worked
up by sentiment and backed by the
people decided on the beautiful idea
OF erecting Christss statue. of which
the people of the two nations are just
iIy proud.
Then from. that time the policy Of
preparedness was cut short, the coun.
ell and people alike spent their ener.
gies in tilling the ground and build
ing railways and developing their
countries generally until today they

Issuing Bonds at Somers Point

Two years ago when the Democrats
were in control Of the School Board at
Somers Point they decided to build a
school house for the city. To do this
it was necessary to float a $50, 600 bond
issue. Competent Atlantic City attor-
neys drew up all the necessary legal pa
pers in order to make valid the bond is
sue, and through the intercession of To-
cal Democrats, Governor Fielder had
the bond issue purchased by the state,
subject to the approval o. the Attorney
General.
Negotiations were then made to have
Attorney General Wescott go over the
matter and approve the bonds. Some
seventy or eighty Thousand dollars
worth of bonds had been issued by the
city previous to the $25, 900 issue and
had never been questioned. Wescott
turned the matter over to an aged law
yer in his Office to investigate, who
reported to Wescott that an error had
been made in Somers Points incor-
poration, and Wescott thereupon refu-
sed to approve the bonds, resulting in
the School House lying idle for two
years.
Last month Judge Higbee, now So
licitor for the school board, laughed at
the idea of the bonds being illegal
because ''of an error In the city's incor-
poration." He took the bonds over to
New York, and sold them to a we'll
known brokerage firm in jig time,
and got a premium on them. Judge
Cole and several other Atlantic City
attorneys also scoffed at the Attorney
Generals opinion when the matter
was explained to them.-Somers Point
