MIRAGE
Seen IN
CLOUDS
INV Associated prAsa. !


London, March 19.-An account Of
mirage in the clouds Is given in q
letter from a British Flying corps Of
ficer on the western front. He says:
II had often wondered what 1t
would feel like to see a machine COM
ing straight for me and TO know that
q collision was inevitable. ] had the
experience this afternoon, only the
collision did not take place.
II was. on patrol with Ave other
machines over the lines, and had just
gone into cloud bank. Just before
going in saw the plane on my right
turning to cross in front Of me. Sud-
denly saw a machine of the same
type as mine appear out OF the cloud
about fifty feet away, making straight
for me. a. .r
'Instinctively jammed my nose
hard down and went as near q nose
dive as possible. The other aeroplane
did the same. turned. The other
turned with me.
Il was in a cold perspiration all over
by this time, so I thought Here goes;
il / am to crash, it might as well be
complete So straight for IL I went.
We got closer and closer, ana biff! my
machine and-its mirage in the clouds
met.
1T seemed like q hideous nightmare,
and can still see that machine doing
its utmost to crash into me. I think
/ can say I have had the full horrors
Of a collision in the air without its
actually taking place. ! finally got
out OF the clouds, and had not the
faintest idea where ] was, until a shell
reminded me that was q little too
low over the German lines"

.C.K. & 0. O.SURVEY
ABOUT FINISHED
Work Will Be Finished by
Monday Two Routes
Have Been Laid Out.
Santa Fe Selects Route Rum
ming West Through Grant
and Stanton Counties.

Surveyors for the C. X. & o.
probably will finish their survey work
tomorrow, according to L. B. Fur
man, chief engineer. The crew will
then do detail work here until Mon
day when it is expected that they
will complete their work entirely
Two routes have been surveyed,
onS on the west and one on the east
side of Liberal. 1t is probable that
the west route will be selected.
The crew will return to work in
the mountains when they have finish
ed here.
Concerning the new Santa Fe
railroad running west from Satanta,
the Grant County Republican has the
following to say:
What is said to be the permanent
survey for the new railroad has been
made and decided on this week,
there being three of the leading en-
gineers of the Santa Fe here to pass
on the location. The line enters the
townsite a little south of the center
on the east line and cuts the south
line east of the southwest corner.
This will likely give us a depot near
the intersection of the road with
Main Street, which is very good To-
cation. In order to get an easy
crossing on the Lakin draw the line
crosses the south half of section 49,
1886 and Sc 24-28-37. Here it
turns southwest and crosses the
townsite as above stated. After
leaving new Ulysses the line bears
mofSe<to the west until it reaches the
township line several miles west Of
town and then straight west to
johnson. We are told that this is
the line decided on by the three head
men, Stuart, Coffey and Bye.

At present all who pass the exami-

are certified for appointment. Ex-

DEMOCRAT MADE HIT
WITH DRAFT NEWS
Gave Service Unequalled by
Any Paper in This
Territory

| AheAJ NOihhtit
sins of omission is reporting the
smaller news happenings of the com.
munity, but when the big news
breaks, and long hours of night work
are necessary to handle it you car
depend on this paper being right
there to give service that is as good
as can be had.
The selective draft has been the
all absorbing topic in every city and
hamlet in the United States for the
past month or more. AS the day
drew near when the drawing would
take place interest became intense.
News of the draft was paramount.
The local board finished its work of
giving each man his serial number
late in the week, but by staying with
the big Linotype machine all night
and part of the next day the list with
each mans number was printed.
These lists have been very much in
demand the last few days. Copies
have been hung in many store and
shop windows in town and have been
surrounded by eager groups of men
and women, picking from the list
the numbers of those who were call
ed to the front.
But it was not enough to print this
list and wait for the daily papers to
get the numbers drawn. After try
ing to secure the numbers by wire
and failing in an effort to buy them,
through the courtesy of Editors
Warren and Rich, of the Pratt Daily
Tribune, old friends of the Democrat
editor, we were sent the early draw
ings by wire, and these were compil-
ed into several lists and displayed in
prominent windows in Liberal. The
paper was also held that we might
give the list in the news columns, but
it could not be secured in time, to
give all. However, the first ten
names drawn were given.
t The Democrat is proud of the
service we were able to render on
this occasion. But for the list of
numbers printed, every man would
have had to go to the office of the
county clerk to get his numbers, in
stead of merely looking it up in a
convenient place down town or from
the paper in his own home.
And the public was appreciative Of
this service. Already large num-
ber of new subscribers have enrolled
and they are still coming in. This
is the kind of appreciation that
counts.
Another feature that is meeting
with approval is our offer to send the
paper free to the boys at the front.
Letters from some of the boys tell
how they appreciate the paper with
it's news of home.
The paper may have its little
faults, but it is live-wire PROPOSE
Jon, and you can rest assured that
when anything of real Importance is
% be handled we will handle it in a
manner that will meet with the gen.
,ral approval.
