r. b. Dick Quinn has again
embarked in the newspaper
game, he having recently pur.
chased the Denny Printing Plant,
at Guymon, which he will con
duct in future, establishing a
second paper there. The Demo
crat and Herald, at Guymon,
were consolidated some time ago.
Denny sold the newspaper end
of the business to w. S. Miller
retaining the job printing depart
meut and since that time Guy
mon has had but one newspaper.
Quinn is now establishing the
second paper. That it will be
Republican in politics goes with
out saying. Dick has been a
wheel-horse of the party too long
to join the independent ranks
now. He is a newspaper man
from the word.go. Welcome back
to the ranks, Dick"

WORK EXPECTED TO COM
MENCE SOON ON X. d o.

II * understood that there Is
not only a possibility. but a strong
probability Of success in the effort
to build the Kansas & Oklahoma
railroad through Liberal. providing
a~ntagonistic influences are not al
lowed to effect the present plans.
Practically every large distributing
interest east of here that reaches
this territory at all Is especially
watching this matter It the present
time.
During the past. aside from diff
ferences OF opinion between the
promoters and some OF the people
as to necessary protective measures
on the delivery of bonds, conditions
were such that in any case IL is
doubtful whether the road could
have been built until later. At this
time conditions have changed to an
extent that brings new hope and
even a promise OF certainty. IL the
people who want the line work to-
gether, according to reports which
seem creditible.
That this cross road Is essential,
II Liberal wants to hold her SUI
premacy In southwest Kansas. every
one Is forced to admit; and as such
a road means a primary jump to a
city OF 5000 with greatly improved
opportunity for continued fast
growth n news regarding steps
taken now will be eagerly watched
for in Liberal.
In the past some difficulty came
up about securing material. espe-
cially the steel for the road. II Is
said now that there will be no fur
ther difficulty in that direction:
that the material can be had read
lily and that with conditions along
the line favorable everything can
be In readiness to begin work with
In a few weeks.
IL seems certain that there Is a
noticeable revival OF interest in the
Kansas & Oklahoma railroad pro-
ject and that the chances for II be-
coming a reality in the near future
are looking up.

Jas. K. Hitch, pioneer ranch

Beaver was without mail yester-
day morning IN account of a wash
out, near Laverne, on the W. +.
& NV Ry. A cloud-burst in that
section caused the flood. This Is
not a new experience. Every spring
at least. and sometimes o~ftener, the
bridge or grade goes out down there
and traffic and mail is tied up fol-
days. IL does seem that the REAL
railroad, like the w. F. & NV.
should be able % eliminate this
trouble. Beavers hot air line" oveI

a few weeks since, Mrs. Clarence
Yocum. president of the Club, who
h soon to move to Liberal, Kansas,

n. Cafky was elected as head of

known. She Is rarely gifted, is a
t~ireless worker and one who is
satisfied only with success. The
Forgan Mothers Club is TO be con

great progress and do things for
their homes and their town, under
der direction. is assured.
