Plat of Old Fort Hays.

One OF the very interesting features
of the editorial meeting at Hays last
Tuesday was an accurate plat of the
grounds and buildings of old Fort Hays.
Strange as it may seem, the govern
ment has no plat or map of this fert
and a great amount of time and work
have been spent by President Lewis
and his associates in getting the data
from which the plat was made. The
researches has extended over a period
of about three years, during which
time many of the early settlers were
interviewed but it seemed impossible
TO get any reliable information from
this source. By mere accident 2 man
was found who had taken from the
walls of one of the buildings, which he
had torn down, map of the govern
ment survey which he had kept all these
years. From this map together with
photographs which President Lewis
and his associates were able to obtain
they have drawn plat of the grounds
and buildings, which will be accurate
in every detail.
AS soon as this new plat is completed,
President Lewis will send copy of the
same together with the original sur
vey to the general government at
Washington. They may be Justly
proud of the result Of their research
for had it not been for their untiring
efforts the history of Old Fort Hays
would never have been given to the
people of Western Kansas or to the
nation. Reformer-

ducements to factories now located in
other cities, with the idea Of having
them move into Richmond" said Mr.
Kohl. I'VE must not forget that other
cities are doing the same thing and
factories which move. must move from
some place. Perhaps if factories
which move to get bonus which will
permit expansion of business would be
aided, Richmond would lose no fac
tories"
Seeks No Contribution.
