The Civic League met Tuesday
afternoon for a call meeting to
hear reports of Committees.
The "oiling of the street" COM

week to more than five hundred

Brinkley Near Honored by
Miss Wilson

But for the fact that Thursday
night, May Oath. was closing ex-
ercises night for the Brinkley
Grammar School, Brinkley peo-
pie would have had the privilege
of hearing Miss Margaret Will
son, daughter of President. in
an evening of song on that
night.
Miss Wilson had that date
open, following her engagement
to sing in Little Rock, and it was
offered to Brinkley in a phone
message to the ARGUS editor on
Monday.
Miss Wilson usually gets a
guarantee of $500 per night to
sing but the offer of the total
receipts and entertainment for
Miss Wilson while in Brinkley
was acceptable and she would
have been here but for the above
reason.

CIGAR FACTORY
FOR BAXTER
Experienced Cigar Makers
Will, Put Out a Line
of High Grade
Smokes

Baxter Smokers in a very short
time will be introduced to a home
made line Of cigars, smokes Of class
that will become popular all over the
Kansas Oklahoma mining field, and
eventually, let US predict, become
favorite brands throughout the three
states cornering here.
A cigar factory will be established
in Baxter by A. A. Silsbee and ]. ].
Campbell, recently from Corvallias,
Oregon. The gentlemen are on the
ground now and have leased for q
factory house on North Main street.
Later they hope to get a location
nearer the center Of the business dis
trict. Both are experienced cigar
makers and have sufficient capital to
run q factory that will develop as
fast as the sale of their product de-
mands. They declare that they will
put out 5 and 10 cent cigars that
cannot be beaten and are seldom
equaled in quality and construction.
If they do that Baxter people ought
to get busy and boost for the home
brand of cigars. Later, perhaps next
week, the News will announce the
names that will be given to the new
home product.

TIME WE HAD A CITY MANAGER

of city government to the new ant
business-like plan of employing city
manager, trained and competent Il
attend to the needs of the city, the
same as a mine superintendent, fol
instance, looks after the management
of his company's interests?
Think this over and take an inter.
est in the affairs of your city. Baxter
is starting now on certain growth
of large proportions and it is impor-
tant that we start out right.
In our advocacy of change in gov
ernment The News is not directing
its criticism at the present city coun-
Gil any more than to any council OF
the past. As Tom Lawson once said,
in his famous expose of Wall street
methods, at is not the individual that
is to be condemned; it is the system"
or words to that effect.
The men on a city council under
the present form are asked to serve
the city practically without pay. In
most cases they are busy with their
own private affairs and the business
of the city is made merely side is
sue. Yet the running of a city in
wolves the expenditure Of many thous-
ands of dollars, a large portion Of
which is always wasted. Can any
one imagine a case where a private
company would permit its business to
be run in such haphazzard manner?
The city manager movement is not
dead. 1t is very much alive and the
people of Baxter Springs are soon go
ing to have the opportunity to de-
eide whether this city shall become
up-to-date and progressive or wheth-
er we shall continue as we are, the
object Of ridicule to every progress
i've stranger that comes here.
The News is talking plainly, we
are well aware, but we challenge any
one to show that we are not stating
facts. The columns of this newspaper
are open always to any criticism any
one may have to offer to the policy
Of the News.
Not in one instance has this paper
ever used its space to abuse any cit
izen. Our criticism has always been
directed at the general policy Of the
administration of the public business.
The News is as anxious as any other
citizen to see Baxter Springs take
full advantage of its splendid oppOr-
tunity and it is convinced that in or
der to do so we must first make some
radical changes in our methods Of
dealing with big civic problems con-
fronting us. Baxter Springs needs
a city manager.

Finally water was brought in buck
cts and after q long fight the fire
on the roof of the Christian church
was controlled.
Mrs. G. w. Skinner was one of the
spectators. Her husband was sick in
bed and she left the scene to 90 and
see if he needed anything. On her
way down she noticed some smoke
and thought that the colored church
three blocks north, was afire. On
reaching the church she found that
the smoke came from still farther
north and finally discovered that the
roof of her barn had caught fire from
the blowing sparks, and a place Of
nearly two feet in diameter was burn
ing. It was some time before she
succeeded in putting out the flames
without the help of neighbors.
When the alarm was sent to Ga
lena, Baxter is afire," rang from one
end Of the town to the other. The
firemen threw on the truck big bot
tie of sulphuric acid to be used as a
chemical, and. started. While turn
ing the corner, the cork of the bottle
blew out and acid was spattered on
Carol Hardwick. By the time the
engine arrived in Baxter Springs Mr..
Harwick's clothes fell off from him
and he borrowed a pair of Overalls.
He also received two burns in his
left hand.
The first thing the Galena people
did was to string their long hose on
Main street and attach it to the only
fire plug in the city, in front Of the
water plant. 1t took them practically
no time to do that. They were quick
and efficient and everyone seemed to
know what was expected Of him. With
the heavy pressure given to them by
the water plant they had no trouble
in controlling the flames. The pres
sure of the water became SO heavy
that Bob Mason was ordered to cut
down the pressure.
While helping the Galena boys to
get started Pat Embree who tried to
shove the big bottle Of acid to one
side, was also spattered with the con-
tents and his head received several
burns.
The Joplin fire chief got here in
81 minutes. One Of the two trucks
that were started reached here in an
hour and q half while the other had
a puncture and was left at Galena.
The Joplin boys played white as US
ual. They were willing and ready to
do what little there was left for them
TO do. They turned their chemicals
on the fire and put It out in many

KELTNER MINING COMPANY

Upon the strength Of the showing
made by drill cuttings on the 4O-acre
tract, four and a half miles south
west of Baxter Springs, held under
lease by q group of Missouri and Ok
lahoma capitalists, a $176,OOO COM
pany was recently organized and it
is to be known as the Keltner Mining
company.
A shaft has been sunk on this 40
and it is reported to be at the ore
level. The report further states that
they will start the construction Of .
mill, which will probably be in run
ming order in 80 days. Those inter
ested in the company are: F. W. Ev-
ans, of Joplin; J. M. Keltner, R. E.

ANOTHER MILL FOR BUFFALO

On the Red Skin lease the Buffalo
Mining Company is planning TO build
a mill about the first Of January, is
the report that has come to this Of-
fee. The informant further states
that after the erection Of the second
mill q third one win follow.
The Buffalo No. Is located five
miles southwest Of this city and has
been in operation for some time. The
operation on this had been suspend
ed for some time because Of what
appeared to be the end Of the ore
run, but prospecting the lower fOrma-
ton Of the earth It revealed the pres
ence Of q rich run Of ore. Ever since
the new run was discovered the plant
has been in operation. The shaft Il
down to the lsO-foOt level and . See-
ond is being Sunk.
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1917-11-08

Isn't it about time for the people
of Baxter Springs to take an interest
in civic matters? Let US not kid
ourselves into the false belief that
we are an up-to-date city, for we are
far from it. We are not awake enough
even to protect our own vital inter-
ests.
Every person who witnessed the
progress of the fire Sunday is salts
fed that if the city had possessed any
sort of fire-fghting apparatus at all
it would have been easy to have con-
fined the flames to the garage where
in the fire originated and prevented
the destruction of this beautiful
church.
1t is true, we have a fine motor
chemical truck that cost over $4,000;
but although it has ben installed now
for several months, when the time
came to use it no one knew how to
operate it. Consequently it was just
out of action the very first thing. 1t
appears, because no one was paid to
look after the interests of the city,
no one took an interest in getting the
men trained to run this fine motor
chemical engine after it was bought.
Every man, woman and child knows
also that if the Galena fire depart
ment had not come to our assistance
a large portion Of the residence
district of Baxter Springs would to-
day be a mass of smouldering ruins.
The Galena company brought a
reel of fire hose. This was attached
to the fire hydrant put in years
ago by DR.. Jones, who then owned
the water plant, and whom we are
told the city never reimbursed. The
hose was run to the scene of the fire
and stream of water was played up
on the livery barn. This checked the
flames and prevented further dis
aster.
For all these years no one in
charge of the affairs of this city ever
had sufficient forethought and inter
est in the public welfare to provide
this city with a thousand feet of hose
that in a case like this might have
been run to a fire in the business CEN
ter and possibly avoid total destruc-
tion.
This is but one Of many instances
of neglect in our civic affairs that
need not be cited, but are apparent
to every citizen.
Is this not sufficient argument in
itself to support the fast-growing
sentiment in Baxter Springs for a
change in the present obsolete form
