March 81, 1895, was the date of the
great fire in Hays, when fifty-three

AS measles are becoming prevalent
in Hays it behooves the parents and
other good citizens to report all cases
or suspected cases to the health officer.
To neglect this duty is liable to get you
into trouble with the health officers of
the city. A fine and probably term
in the county jail is likely to follow the
disobedience of the law, which is very
strict.

Fort Hays Experiment Station Items.


A small herd of buffalo donated to
the Experiment Station by Mr.. Geo.
Philip, Jr., of this city, secured from
the herd raised by his uncle who lived
at Fort Pierre, South Dakota, arrived
at Hays, Saturday morning. These
buffalo will attract considerable atten-
ton at the Live Stock Round Up which
will be held at the Experiment Station
April 7th.
On Tuesday night, very enthusiast
ic and enjoyable farewell party was
held in honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Helder
who leave the Station soon for their
new home. All of the employees of the
Station and their families were present
The large dining room and parlors at
the Station Hotel, where the party was
given, were tastefully arranged. Supt.
Weeks acted as POSTMASTER and the
following men responded to toasts COM
plimentary to Mr.. Helder's long and eff
ffcient service at the Experiment Sta
ton: Messrs. Kiene, Halsted, Mon
tague, Lloyd, Taylor, Lord and Matson.
Mr.. Helder, in his remarks, brought
out the fact that this very night was
the twelfth anniversary of his arrival
at Hays. The meeting broke up with
everybody wishing Mr. and Mrs. Helder
the greatest of pleasure and happiness
in their new home.
Unusual interest has been manifested
in the Fort Hays Experiment Station
Forest Nursery Project, as evidenced
by the heavy orders for trees during
the past week or so.
Dean Jardine, Professors Call, Cochel,
and DR.. Hobbs, from the College at
Manhattan, have made more or less ex-
tended visits and express themselves
pleased with the work the Fort Hays
Station is doing for Western Kansas.
Mr.. F. E. Spencer, a special student
at the Kansas Agricultural College,
arrived Saturday to begin his duties at
the Station as assistant to Mr.. F. A.
Kiene on his Cereal Crops Investiga-
tional Project.
Counting the new calves, pigs and
lambs, there are now over 400 head of
live stock on the Fort Hays Experiment
Station No doubt this is the greatest
number of live stock to be found on any
Experiment Station in the United
States and perhaps the world. The
people of Hays will be proud to help US
in showing this and other great institu-
tons of Hays, to the four or FIVE hun
dred Western Kansas farmers who will
attend the Round Up" here next Fri
day.
