STORY OF MATERIAL PROGRESS
Telling What Some Real Estate Men Are Doing to-
Develop Liberal Seward County and the Southwest
Latest Heavy Land Buyers

Edward Guldner of Canon City,
Colorado, bought eight quarter sec
tions of land north of the Cimarron
and south of Satanic the other day.
He will divide the tract into two
farms and will soon have two well i'm
proved farms. He has heretofore
owned land in numerous eastern
counties, but sold them and conclud-
ed to come here where the land is
lower in price.
B. H. Albertson, wealthy man Of
Haviland, recently purchased the Nc
Nabney farm, six and a half miles
southwest of town. A relative of Mr..
Albertson will take charge of the
farm and improve it.
r. H. Gilbert of Haviland has ac-
CURED square section of land eight
miles northwest of the city. The farm
is well improved. Mr.. Gilbert will
move there at an early date and will
make his home in Seward county.
w. H. Martin of Sumner county
bought half section of the former
John Schmitt farm. He u Q good
farmer and evidently realized what
that land is and bought before prices
would rise.
G. B. Fullerton, Q prosperous
farmer Of Greensburg, is now owner
Of eight quarter sections of Seward
county land. He has discovered that
he can not only raise equally as good
crops here as he does on his higher
priced Kiowa. county land, but can
make much larger per cent profit
when the land advances in price,
which 1t is sure to do and that pref
ty soon.
Bob Smith and Bob Dickerson were
selected the captains for two parties
who would go out in quest OF rabbits
on New Years day. The winning side
will be treated to an oyster supper by
the losers on New Years night. All
who desire to take part in the sport
meet at the Office of Warren Farmer,
Friday night at o'clock when the
plans will be fully explained.

Pause Once a Year.

To the Editor of The Republican.
Last Sunday in the Methodist church
at Mt. Lake Park, members of the
bible class escorted a few old soldiers of
the civil war to the rostum, and there
DR.. Wright presented each one with a
silk flag as memorial and appreciation
of their services.
When | looked into their faces it
occurred to my mind that it is beyond
our conception to realize the hardship
they had while in SCI vice and the aches
they now endure.
When men die in battle in defense of
their homes or for principals which they
wish to leave as a heritage to their
children, the next generation would be
ungrateful indeed if they could not
pause at least once year to remember
the devotion of the heroic dead and dec
crate their graves, and endeavor to
cheer and brighten the lives of the
living soldiers.

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
A Request From Roads Engineer
L. T. DOWney.
10 the Editor of The Rennhlican.

To the Editor of The Republican.
Dear Sir:-Will you please publish
the following letter as a notice 10 tn
auto drivers of your county and city.
Portions will apply to teams also.
The State Roads Commission is re
pairing the road from Oakland towards
McHenry, and | would request that the
people driving same would comply with
the law as regards to driving with
caution in dangerous places. The law
says II miles per hour in such places.
1t will safeguard the travelling Eu5ic as
well as the men who are working on the
road and likewise aid in the rapid re-
pairs to road. Autos travelling over
freshly patched road tear stone loose
when machines go fast, and drivers
when going rapidly can not see the men
who may be behind the roller or some
other place not in their view, and if
men step out suddenly they are liable
to be hit by machine. and am sure all
pSASNAiS dAlfiiIB IOdu WOulu ulSllke very
much to have such an accident, and
then be up for manslaughter. All we
ask is that the auto drivers use due pre-
caution, and not speed along where re-
pairs are in progress. | would further
ask them to avoid driving on the new
patches as much as possible. This can
be done by driving astride of the new
patches.
Violators of the speed law az outlin-
ed above are liable to find themselves
before q magistrate, so in order to
avoid same drive with caution and slow
speed.
Thanking you in advance for printing
this IN your valuable columns, Iremain,
Yours truly,
l.. T. DOWNEY,
Resident Engineer S. R. C.
