The Great Bend paper has the fol
lowing, but does not tell whether she
came to the Hays Normal or went to
the Emporia Normal for the Summer
term: GAS to financial difficulties
one Great Bend girl has no fears.
What she longs for is the time when
she will enroll at college and breathe
the atmosphere she Graves. 4 can
shoot craps and pay my way through
school, she announced to her
parents"
The Golden Belt Railroad crowd
last week, lost one of its hardest
workers and best pushers in Great
Bend, by the death of County Com
missioner J. F. Bales, who died there
last week, of heart trouble which has
bothered him several weeks. He was
the Chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners, formerly a farmer
living a few miles out from the Bend,
and very anxious that his farmers and
the town should get the proposed
railroad connection to Hays and Phil
lipsburg.
The Larned paper last week an
nounced the commencement of the
erection of another new school build
ing, 1O1x64 feet, in that city. Larned
is smaller than Hays, but is pro
gressiye in schools. If the Hays
Chamber of Commerce would take up
the subject and bring about more
school accommodations, and let up on
the paving, it would be better in
these times. The paving on one
street, to be paid by the property
! owners on that street, would put up
an elegant school building. The cost
of paving on the north side of the
present school property would easily
put UP another good school building
mad let the south side have a little of
the good things they're paying for.
If Hays people and the Normal had
gone in and helped push the North
and South railroad those Southeners
offered to build, the crowd at the
Summer school at, the Normal could
easily be doubled, but now many
have gone to Emporia and Manhat-
tan, who would have come here; and
it will be so until a railroad can bring
students from the southern and the
northern counties. AS it is now,
many had to come around by SaIina
or Colby, and consequently they go
to the other schools. Our Exchanges
are full of locals telling of students
and teachers going to this or that
school, and Hays should have at
least two thousand each summer, and
a thousand all through the year. Yet
the State Utility Board, after their
hearing here, decided that this com
munity did not SHOW any NECES
SITY for the building of the road, so
the matter is dead until that showing
is changed. The money. was ready to
build and work would be going on
