RAILROAD MEETING

In response to call to consider the
matter of a proposed narrow guage
railroad from WaKeeney to Russell
Springs held in Cove City last Sat
urday afternoon a small crowd was
present.
Mr.. w. G. Kelly, of Kansas City,
promoter of the proposed railroad,
outlined his proposition in detail Be
fore the meeting Mr.. Kelly learned
that nobody was interested in a mar
row guage railroad, he submitted
the proposition Of a standard guage
road to be built from Ellis to Sharon
Springs. Material and equipment to
be used in construction of this road,
Mr.. Kelly said, can be gotten for
about half of what new stuff would
cost as his company has a line on
several roads that are new in the
hands of a receiver and which are
forced to sell at a sacrifice. He said
that a company in the east part of
Kansas had offered to bring string
OF elevators along the proposed route.
Mr.. Kelly thinks it will be only
short time after the road is built un-
I'll the Union Pacific will lease it and
use it part of their system.
The crowd at this meeting wasn't
a large one and it was because every
body considered the narrow guage
road joke-as some expressed it
Sbetter not have any railroad at all"
But when the proposition of a stand
ard guage road from Ellis to Sharon
Springs was submitted, the listeners
sat up and began to fire questions at
the peaker. Mr.. Harrington, in a
short talk, gave approximate figures
to show that the road will pay for
itself in the decreased cost of market
ing, the increased value of the land
and in the taxes which accrue from
the road.
In order to put this matter squarely
before the people, on motion a meet
ing was called for Saturday, April End
at 200 p. M, to discuss the PROPOSE
ton of a standard guage railroad to
| be built from Ellis to Sharon Springs
Mr.. Kelly will be at this meeting pre-
pared to explain his plan of proce-
| dure for building the road. Let's all
| attend the meeting and help pull for
1 a railroad.-Gove County Gazette.

AFTER FOUR YEARS THIS TEST.
MONY REMAINS UNSHAKEN

Time is the best test of truth Here
is Hill City story that has stood the
test Of time. It is a story with q
point which will come straight home
to many of us.
Mrs. James Gordon, Hill City, Kas,
says: 81 suffered considerably from
pains through the small of my back,
which always got worse when I
brought any strain on the muscles of
my back My kidneys acted irregu-
larly, my head ached and had dizzy
spells. Doan's Kidney Pills were so
highly recommended that I got some.
They gave me prompt relief and four
boxes cured me-"
OVER FOUR YEARS LATER,
Mrs. Gordon said: "I have taken
Doan's Kidney Pills whenever I have
felt in need Of them and the results
have always been satisfactory. Ny
kidneys have given me very little an
noyance since I first took this med
icine"
Price 6Oc, at all dealers Don't sim
ply ask for kidney remedy-get

The PocKEr GoPHER

II your field Il infested with pocket
gophers now is one OF the best times
of the year to fight them. Their
breeding period begins about the first
of March and continues until the first
of May. A female gopher killed now
will prevent the birth of four to six
young, plus the damage they viii do
during the summer and the added ex-
spense of killing them later.
Any farmer with proper care and
industry can free his own fields of
gophers and save many times the
cost of his labor, but it will be only
short time until his premises are re-
infested unless his neighbors coop
crate with him in the general drive.
Kanas was the first state in the
Union to make an organized effort
for the distinctions of prairie dogs
After a relatively few segregated
towns are wiped out we can boost of
being the first western state to solve
the problem The next task before
the people Of Kansas is to clear the
state of pocket gophers, and it can
be done.
The best method to use is that of
poisoning. The Kansas State Agri-
cultural College Experiment Station
has tried out numerous bats and
found that the one most adapted to
campaign purposes and at the same
time has a high percentage of effici
ency is a poisoned oat bait. Poisoned
sweet potatoes are also very effective,
but are not SO we'll adapted for an
organized drive. Both of these bats
are good and will give satisfactory
results if applied properly.
The best method of administering
gopher bait is to place it in the runs
around the mounds by means of a
probe A wagon rod, or probe of SINH
lar size, is the best for locating the
runs, as it can be easily pushed into
the ground. The small opening made
by the rod can be enlarged by thrust
ing broom handle into it, then a
tablespoonful of the poisoned oats OF

kept their heads all would come out

campaign had accomplished its pur-
pose. The calamity howlers were thor
dence was restored in most circles, and
while rival cities and eastern financial
centers watched in glee for signs of
wholesale bankruptcy in Seattle, the
city's business men laughed at the
preachers Of pessimism, kept their
heads and came thru smiling. Busi-
ness today in Seattle is on solid foun-
dation, and many Of those who were
doubtful in January now agree that
"the upturn has come"
calamity howlers had been dis
credited, The Star turned its attention
to the street car problem. Since late
in 1920 the guns of public utility in
terests had been turned on the Seattle
municipal railway ! in an effort to
prove public ownership a failure.
Schemes were hatched to turn the rail-
way back to the original owners. This,
it was thought, would prevent other
cities from following Seattle's example
and taking over their transportation
lines.
Mayor Caldwell, whether he realized
what he was doing or not, aided the
utility grabbers by issuing repeated
bear" stories about the street car sys-
tenn, which he declared was not paying,
and could not pay. A special grand
jury adopted the report Of the mayors
private investigator" that the terms
of the car line purchase were ''impos-
sible." There was talk Of a suit to re-
cover part Of the purchase price, but
no such suit ever has been started.
The Star turned the light Of public
ity on this street railway plot, and
drove the underground agents of mo-
nopoly to cover. Lying statements Of
Seattle and outside propagandists were
corrected. Interviews" in eastern
newspapers which were nothing but
rehashes of months-old misstatements,
were challenged. And public officials
who dug up the truth from the maze
of figures with which the street car
matter had been tangled, were sup
portedin their efforts to give the pub
lie the facts, and their findings were
published broadcast.
