COMMERCIAL CLUB DISCUSSES
NEW RAILROAD

Another railroad proposition from
Mr.. Byers was presented to the
Commercial Club last night by Mr.
Kelly, who had recently met Mr..
Byers in Hutchinson and gone over
the matter thoroughly. Mr.. Byers
now asks eight thousand dollars per
mile bonds and is willing to give
adequate guarantees as to the prop
err construction and operation of
the road.
This is a somewhat better propo-
sition than the one recently killed
and it will be a great thing for
the county if it succeeds as it will
if we all boost. The Commercial
Club decided to put up the eX-
penses of a bond election and the
election will be held as soon as
possible.
The Club also decided to have
the roads along the north and west
boundries of the townsite graded.
Other important matters were dis
cussed but no decision reached

"Claude Blount," and it would run
something like this:
"Claude Blount, leading man of

him on the road, this season, his
small son, Marvin, about three years
old, a pretty and attractive child,
and as bright and sweet baby as
ever lived.
"The little mother has been in
very poor health, and to make it
easier for her, and also to make
it possible for him to earn their
living at his chosen profession, Mr..

Views of Minister of Trade.

I have Just had a talk with the
minister Of trade OF the so-cai!eo
northwest Russian government, Whlcn
has it's home in Revel. thanks to the
hospitality Of the Esthonian govern
ment, and which puts all its nope

this bogus government Esthonfa alone
is recognized as autonomous IN
federated Russia.
"The generals" he complained, do
not want to listen to any KIND OF
federalism. They are pledged TO re-
store undivided the Russian empire
of 1914 by means OF military dic-
tatorship."
the Baltic states are following a
sound instinct because not only do
thew get recognition Of their indie
pendence by the strongest or the
warning Russian sections. but II peace
is restored they can so organize them,
selves that in the future they will
he able to Withstand any assault
from whatever side it may come. In
ALI nublic and private utterances the
statesmen of the Baltic states EN-.
phasize that, whatever their need OF
peace may be, they will not do any
thing which is not in acceptance with
the wishes of the allies. But 1t would
he the greatest calamity If the allies
refuse to recognize the paramount
necessity of peace for the Baltic
states. -,
IF the peace negotiations fail be-
cause of allied influence 1t Will nave
the most disastrous results. The pol
sheyiki will be able to use the sit
nation to the greatest advantage and
will not only strengthen their posi-
ton in Russia. but foment trouble
among the masses in the Baltic states.

Allies Move Slowly.

Such was the general demand made
of the allies. However. the allies were
slow in recognizing the independence
of the Baltic states. not because of
lack of insight and resolution, but
simply because they could not guar
antee that their recognition would be
honored by the forces they preferred
to see replace the soviet regime in
Russia. The allies knew only too well
that those whom they were helping
to power in Russia would, under no
circumstances, tolerate the independ-
ence of the border states.

that it is evident the bolshevikf are
