The D. C. D. Highway
North from Stonington.

Our old-time friend. Nathan
Gimlet Jones, has recently
thought TO make great gallery
hit by a stage play on the term
Sam Konkel. +" ringing th,tiu as
particularly strong evidence and
argument in an effort to give to
the highway running north from
Stoningtun an official designation
rs the b. C. d.
The trouble with Nathan Gin
let principally is that he prizes
truth and veracity largely as
com modities, using them when
convenient Tor his purpose, and
when not-tossing them aside
with the same economic purpose
that he would blow the dust out
or his type cases.
Nate Gimlet in his snow-buurd
Great Moral Emancipator Of the

MT located by the convention at

Only in a general way from to n
to town, leaving details to those
on ground, and to the logger who
was to pass over the ground lat
er.
We would like if Gimlet by
some hypnotic or other influence
would get w. M. Stewart, or com
missioner Jas. A. Stinson, back
- that statement, in order TO
give to it the authority of some
one who in practical life has Civ
en- to truth and veracity the val
ue of something more than the
convenience of use. :
Facts are, as Nate Gimlet well
knows. that both Two Butles
and Springfield were asked to
come to the convention with the
exact location of their desired
lines routed, that they wenr
with the routes mapped out a.
they desired them and as re-
qupsted, and that az that convan
, tion those routes were made the
official d. G. D. lines out from
Stonington 20 both of these places.
Facts are, as Nathan GimIet
further knows, not one word in
that convention was said or hint
ed about leaving the routing Of
the official lines to "those" on
the ground, or TO the logger, or
to any other mortal On earth
If so, Gimlet. why was it nee

Why, Nathan Gimlet, dja Two

Roosevelt

The press of the United States
is a unit in declaring Roosevelt
one of the great characters in
American history. and we would
add that in forensic initiative and
physical courage he has been the
most prominent man in public life
since the days of Jackson.
That dosen't say he was ever
right or was ever wrong.
His nature was Co whoop.er-
up and whoop-er errp and whoop-
er-up, and he never was quite
so happy as when he was going
after tIe other Teller with a red
hot iron-fig uratvely speaking.
His ambition Was boundless,
and to crafty that ambition he
became one of Americas great
est plungerS, and stood ready TO
sacrifice either party or friend or
foe to gratlfy it.
Whatever may be said of his
forensic and pIunging nature,
his bounding ambition and his
sacrificing whatever or whoever r
stood IN his way, he stood at the
front as one of Americas great
est characters, and in his demise
America loses great leader and

Editor Herald,

Dear Sir
Your letter came some days ago
and have been wondering Why l
did not receive the paper-it ar.
rived this morning; was possibly
stuck in the snow somewhere
along the line
note your article in regard to
the proposed Liberal Springfield
railroad with pleasure. 1t has
always been my ambition to
build railroad. and at different
times have figured in projects thai
never materialized, due principal
ly to two things First: cold
feet upon the p rt of the people
interested. Second: inability to
secure capital becaus. of opposi-
ton on the part of other rail.
roads
There is just one way to build
a railroad such as you mention,
and that is to build it. In the
past the people have built rail-
roads, but under the direction Of
some other railroad company
which owned the line when
the people had paid TO- -

tlon /, ,u.s if the people are will
ing to do it.
know one instance where a
single individual built a railroad
and owned it. His name is o. P.
Byers, and it was in a territory
where the need was in no wise as
great as in this section. You
have probably noticed that every
great project was the dream of
some blamed fool who thought
the impossible could be achieved
and. nowhere is this so much in
evidence as in railroad bu Idlng.
l pote that you mention Mr..
Bodle in your article, which
brings to mind q project which l
fathered several years ago while
editor of the Meade News, in
Mr.. Bodies home town. This
was an electric line from Meade
to Beaver city. which you also
mention in your article.
Well. this project looked like a
sure thing, but that year we suf-
fered the worst crop failure in
the history of the cuntry, and all
the work that had been done was
sacrificed because Of a temporary
depreSSlOn-enth dled ont
and Beaver was left without a
railroad. However, l am of the
opinion that this was principally
res ponsible for the building of
the line from Beaver to Forgan,
which line you say was built by
the people themselves.

road up with Mr., John w.

Baseball Equipment VIII Go

Along with the high cost of liv-

athletics?
Local dealers in sport goods de-
clare advances in all lines OF atb-
Ietic equipment OF from so to 100
per cent will be ~ effect this fall.
This condition is brought about by
the advancing costs OF leather and
woolens.
The small boy will suffer most.
His football will be listed at 3

Of the pigskin used by the older
fellows has jumped in two years
from 81 to 80. Gridiron shoes are
increasing steadily in price, The

No relief is forecasted for the

The official league ball which for

will hold true for gloves, uniforms

Despite this condition. sporting

high costs will not keep amateur
