BUILDING ROAD IN
STEVENS COUNTY
The First Mile of the Byers Road
in Stevens Is Completed.

The first mile of the Kansas & Ok
lahoma railway, the Byers road, in
Stevens county, has been built, and
the first installment of the Center
township aid bonds in that county has
been delivered to President o. P.
Byers, $4,000.
Work is progressing on the second
mile of tracklaying, and the track
will soon be completed to the town
of Woods.
The Hugoton Hermes says: "Byers
has had a long fight in his railroad
building program but at this time it
looks as though he had won. The peo-
pie out there are feeling mighty good
now over the prospects Of being able
to market their grain without having
to haul it so far"
One more attempt was made last
week to put a crimp in the building
Of the new road. The district court
at Hugoton was. asked for restrain
ing order against the First National
Bank of Hugoton, escrow holders of
the mileage bonds of Center township
restraining that bank from delivere-
ing the said bonds to o. P. Byers of
the X. & 0. road. The court refused
to grant the order, and it is reported
that it will be taken to the supreme
court where an early hearing is ex-
pected.
This petition to the court was sim
liar in detail to the one presented to
the court in September, only that it
was asked against the bank instead
of the township board as was in the
former case.-Hutchinson News.

For County
Treasurer
w. L. Rucker

For fear you will not know him by
his initial we will inform you that
we mean "Bill" Rucker, when naming
our candidate for county treasurer.
Bill is not noted for his good looks,
but he is known as one of those sim
cere fellows who puts his heart into
the work and when he says that if he
is elected county treasurer he will
make good, you can figure that. he
will do so. >
Rucker started out to be bust
ness man. He finished high school,
took a term in business College, and
the opportunity not offering to get
into business he went to work on a
farm. Later he became farmer and
followed this occupation for num-
Der of years. Several years ago he
moved to Liberal and took an interest
in the J. E. George Grocery Germany
and was actively connected with the
firm. When he disposed C. his inter-
est in the grocery store ne formed a
partnership with Mr. Scott in the real
estate and insurance business under
the firm name of Rucker 6 Scott. He
has done very nicely in that business.
but when the Democrats began cast
ing about for candidates he consented
to make the race for treasurer.
Mr.. Rucker enjoys high standing
with the people of the town with
whom he has come in contact in a

sagacity. He has made splendid

The application was opposed by large
majority OF the property owners IN

the Fifth Avenue Association, Inc. The
application WAS denied on the ground
that this street has been restricted 10

that purpose previous 70 1915.

Makers of Bricks
Say Untermyer's
Charge Is Not True
Effort Is TO Increase Pro-
duction Rather Than Re.
duce II: Shortage Is Due
to Antique Brick Plants

The Common Brick Makers Asso-
eis,ion Of America objects 10 Samuel
Unternytrs charge that brckmskers
are in conspiracy 10 prolong the
housing shortage BY reducing produc-
tien and sending the price Of brick
upssrd. The association says that the
counsel 20 the lockwood committee
did not tell the truth when he cireu-
lated these charges. because the re-
ports from the brick centers around
New York indicate that conditions are
different from those which Mr.. Unter-
myer say exist and that the manu-
fseturers are doing everything possible
20 facilitate production TO meet the
demand for this building material.
Here is the statement OF the assoei-
alton issued from It's headquarters in
Chicago:
Brick manufacturers Of the Hud-
son River are putting forth their
utmost efforts 20 get brick into the
New York market 20 meet the demand
in keeping the public Veli stirred up
regarding the building situation. He
has done more 10 discourage ana re-
tsrd building, in our humble opinion,
than al the trusts and combinations
n the country.
The Common Brick Msnufseturers'
Association Of America holds no brief
for the manufacturers Of the HUDSON
River particularly. Very few OF
them. in fact. are members or ever
have been members Of this assoeia-
ton. A good many OF the Hudson
River manufacturers are OF the olo
school: they are making brick by anti
ouated methods. and they are not
euiek IL accept any new IDEAS for the
promotion Of their product and the
extending 81 their market.
However. We know these men and
they are as honest as the men in any
line Of business in America. They are
much more conscientious IN their deal
ing with other men than some political
Investigators are IN mskirg sensational
statements calculated 20 tear do~n the
fortunes Of honest men in order 70
build VI their political prestige.
New York could not stock brick
while the Hudson River Was closed
With ice. nor do brick plants run IN
tn, winter in Northern climates. Build
ing operations took on an sbnormsl
volume even before the river opened.
There has been a shortage which no
man or group Of men was responsible
for.
Talk about importing brick rs as
foolish as some Of the other statements
coming out % the New York situation.
