The work of paving the alleys is

this to properly "set" before being

The public is cautioned against
trying to use the alleys until they
are opened to travel, as the paving
will be ruined if they are used toe
soon.
The alley between First and Sec

of drying, and the others will soor

We note that the Kismet KIipper
is strongly opposed to the voting of
bonds for an auditorium in Liberal.
That is the Khpper's privilege and
that paper is to be congratulated on

it sees it that way
However WG are of the opinion that

MOVEMENT ON TO BRIDGE
CIMARRoN NORTH OF FoRGAN
Meade County Has $4,000 Available
and Forgan Commercial Club
Has Pledged $4,000 More

A bridge across the Cimarron will
soon be reality if plans which are
now on foot materalize. Meade
county has $4,000 available at the
present time and the township just
north Of the river has another $1,000
which they want to put into a bridge.
VIM. R. Roberts of the XII ranch
and Mr.. Gowens, representing Meade
county and the township interested,
were in Forgan Tuesday to submit
the proposition to Forgan, and the
Commercial Club took the matter up
and gave them a guarantee Of $4,000
at the present time to start the work.
The plan is to put in a low-water
bridge of pile construction, directly
north of Forgan. The estimated cost
of the bridge will be around $4,000.
There are two of such bridges in use
in Seward county and are giving sat
isfaction.
The county commissioners last
year agreed that if the bridge was
built they would have a road graded
up to the south end of the bridge.
If this road is built it will open up
a large section of the farming coun-
try north of the river giving them
close market and thereby causing
greater agricultural development in
that section.
1t is believed also that the D. c. &
D.. trail can also be routed over this
bridge from where it turns west at
Booker(. Texas, as this would be a
more desirable route.
Mr.. Roberts stated that the ylans
were to start construction of the
bridge just as soon as material could
be assembled if it was decided to
build the bridge.
There is no bridge on the Cimarron
river between ArkaIon and Engle-
wood this bridge is badly needed, and
it is hoped the present plans will go
hrough.-FOrgan Eagle.

Liberal is to have a new machine

The shop will be installed by J.

chase the necessary equipment.
Lofland completed a course in ma

He will attend the fair a Huchin-

they have good equipment and first

He will be equipped to handle all

willing 40 pay it's share in such a
memorial if it were to be put in the
shape of monument or other form,
and can't think but what it will see
this matter differently when at under
stands the proposition.
The Klipper says that Kismet was
not asked to pay for the paving of
the Streets and other improvements n
Liberal, but that town gets about
as much benifet as Liberal. This
is true, but Liberal has gone her
limit. The town has added thousands
of dollars to the taxable wealth of
the country, and spent her last cent
to help build up country which
ranks with the best anywhere.
The Democrat os of the opinion
that the bond issue will not seriou-
sly effect any resident of the
over a period of years will not be any
great sum per year, and we feel
sure that every resident of the coun-
try will be we'll repaid in the event
they help to put the proposition
across.
Liberal has not tried to place any
unnecessary burdens upon the peo-
pie of Seward county, but has done
her best to advance the interests of
the entire Iountry. If the people of
the farming districts and the other
town Of the country do not want to
vote these bonds it is their privilege
to vote them down as they have the
opportunity Of doing.
We believe it will be mistake
to do so, but this paper will never

hope everyone will become informed

2MILES SOUTHWEST
OF THEIR MOI WE'LL
ARE HAULING OUTTIMBEKS
LOCATION SW. IA, SW. IA Sec
TICN4, TWP. IS, RANGE "a, ON
BUNTING FARM

The location for the Traders No. 2
we'll was announced this morning as
being on the Bunting farm, which is
the Southwest quarter of the South
west quarter of Section A, township
35, range "a, something like two
miles southwest of he Traders No. |,
on the Boles farm.
The we'll will be known as the
Traders No. 2 on theA Bunting, and
will be drilled by the American Fuel,
Oil & Transportation company, of
which the Traders is a subsidiary com
pany.
The location will be surprise TO
many as the dope was 'that it was to
be northwest, rather than southwest
of the. Traders No. /, and most of
the guesses were chat way.
The Traders No. 2 was started this
morning when teams began hauling
out the heavy timbers to be used in
the rig.
The complete outfit, rig timbers
and machinery has been here for
several weeks, but could not be haul
ed out until matters pertaining to the
location were settled.
The rig is combined standard
and rotary, and work of erecting the
derrick will be started Tuesday morn
ing according to F. R. McQuigg of
the American Fuel, Oil & Transport
tatiOn company.
The derricks will be 1906 feet high,
and the rig and equipment through
out will be the most modern and the
heaviest ever used in the state.
There has been much speculation
as to this location, and that the well
is to be southwest of the No /, is
going to give a new angle to leas-
ing activities. Formerly the great
tween the Traders No. and the
est interest has been conferred be-
Seward County Oil & Gas. Company
No. /, which were something like
nine miles apart, but it is likely that
there will be shifting of activity as
soon as this location becomes public
and there will be a scramble for good
locations in the other direction.
Unless severe weather conditions
Interfere it is not going to be many
months until the Traders No. will
begin to show results, as the combin-
alton outfit permits of drilling with
great rapidity and few months
time should see the drill in the oil
bearing sand.
The starting of this well makes the
fourth actual test for the Liberal
field. The Traders No. | on the
Boles, four and half miles west of
Liberal, is gasser of great capacity
the second gas sand showing a strong
ow Of wet gas.
The Seward County Oil & Gas
company, No. on the Sealey, nine
miles north of Liberal is fnishir
rebuilding the rig and will be drill
ing early next week.
The Skaer No. on the Fitzgerald
five miles north Of Liberal is a rig
awaiting arrival of drilling machin
cry. This is due to arrive any tint
and drilling will be started as sool
as the machinery can be set after it
arrival.

GOOD WHEAT WEATHER
Mild Temperatures With Plenty of
Sunshine Prevailed Over Kansas
During Past Week-Wheat Crop
in Excellent Condition All Over
Kansas.
tBy s. d. Flora, Meteorolox,,t.,

Mild, sunshiny weather for the sea-
son prevailed over Kansas this week.
which was fine for wheat and fall
work, according to the reports of 100
correspondents of the weather bureau,
which cover conditions in all parts of
the state. There was practically no
precipitation until Monday and Mon
day night, when snow fell in the west
ern counties and in the southern and
eastern sections that totalled from half
an inch to an inch in the eastern third,
but was rather light IN the southwest
and north-central counties. Temporal
lures were a few degrees below freez-
ing on several nights, but generally
above that point of afternoons.
Wheat is reported in good to excel
lent condition all over the state and has
ample moisture to begin the winter
with, except in just q few extreme
western counties. chief of which is
Greeley. where the acreage of this
crop is seldom large.
Cribbing corn made good Roadway
this week. with favorable weather con-
ditions and is almost done in the prin-
cipal corn producing counties.
Grain sorghums in the south-central
and southwest counties, where most of
these crops are produced, are from SO
to 80 per cent threshed. and good
progress has been made with this work

exert ourselves to send relief to them,

declared. He described the sights
which he saw when travelling thru
the very edge of the famine area,
of trainioads of starving men and
women ana children, trying to escape
and being hurried. unwelcome, from
one district to another because there
is pitifully little food in any of the
districts.
At the place of each Rotarian was
blank check, made out paya BILE to
ed out by the Rotarians seated there,
and used in the saving of a child in
one or other of the countries of which
mention was made.
When the checks were filled out
and their total counted, after the din
ner, it was found that the Rotarians
had subscribed $918.50 for the Christ
mas fund. enough to save the lives of
nearly one hundred children during
the coming year.
Doctor Estey closed the program
with a final appeal to the Rotarians
to extend a helping hand to the starv-
ing children of the world, out of the
abundance which the United States
has at this season.
Music for the meeting was furnish
ed by a number of boys from the boys
