The Beaver Valley & Northwestern
Survey is Completed.
Now that tho preliminary survey of tho Beaver Valley & Northwestern
railway from Gage to Hooker via Bcavcar City has been completed nnd is a
very satisfactory routo to those who propose to build tho road there being less
than a one per cent grade it is to tho Interest of everyone living in Denver
county whether tho rnilroad touches your farm or runs ten miles from It to
look to the great advantages which will accrue to them in so many ways when
this railroad is comploted nnd to join tho enterprising sido now Hint are now
working nnd declaring "WE WILL BUILD IT with Just a reasonable assist-
ance from thoso along tho line."
Think of the increnso in the value of your home however humble in no case
can it be less than 100 per cent nnd in calculating other numerous advantages
that will of necessity follow tho completion of this railway no man or woman
in Benvcr county enn alTord to miss this opportanity to get n railroad. If they
do they aro beyond question standing in their own light nnd permitting a
chance to go by that more than likely will never come again.
Anyone in tho light of the advantages to be obtained can nlTord to sub-
scribe for nt least ono snnre ot stock for each 100 acres of land you own or for
each child you have. No higher returns could possibly conio from the invest-
ment of that amount in any othor wny. For Instance you hnvo n tract of 100
acres which is now wortii $3000. You realize it isn't wortli nny more than that
amount and cannot bo without railroad facilities. You conclude to invest nnd
assist a railroad to build and take say live shares of stock at $100 per share.
When the railroad reaches you your 100 will bo worth'nt tho lowest estimate
$5000. which mnkes you to tho good $'-'000. Then say tho stock you have is
even worthless you nro $1500 better ofl for the investment whether you boII
the lnnd or not tho increased value is tliero. Where elso could you invest the
same money nod receive nny thing like hnlf such munificent returns?
The illustration is for the purposo of demonstrating that you aro HELPING
YOURSELF threo times where you help the railroad once It is simply a
business proposition and it is the duty of evoryoue to holp to thu end that the
present opportunity bo carried to a successful conclusion.

Another Menace to Health
Dr. Mnnxoll stopped tho 1Ikkai.ii
reporter In front of his ollice this week
nnd agreed with us in every part of the
"Timo to Clean Up" article of Inst
issue but said that with reference to
disease germs and sickness wc omitted
the most important factor nnd that
is tho wells from which tho families
use water. He informs us that there
is scarcely n well within his knowl-
edge that would bear close sanitary
Inspection nnd that danger of disease
is hidden in nearly all or them. So
this is but an added menace to public
health and necessary precaution
should bo used to stop the (lunger.
People fear and dread the poisonous
reptile but carelessly permit n more
insidious poison to enter their system
nnd the systems of their families and
and loved ones every day. Reader
Just draw a comparison of how many
persons havo been bitten by the rattle-
snnke you so much drend ; very few re-
sulted in death." How many have been
inllictcd with tho ono disease" typhoid
fever; how many lives of dear and
loved ones havo been taken and
homes have been Hindu desolate by
that dread disease? You kill tho
snake; would go half n tnllu to have a
chance to kill one The home of the
dreaded typhoid gorm is pointed out
to you right on your own home acre
and you pay no attention to it what-
ever. It is a carelessness akin to
crime to permit such conditions.

llounces Norris is a plain man and

tail and good executivo judgment.
Most of his success lias been won ns a

ho always raised tho best crops of

best crop of cotton iu the neighborhood
and often when others failed to mako
a good crop Norris reaped a good liar-

ornny oilier democratic eaildidato for
tho presidency mivo and except Wil-
liam Jennings Dryau demanding mon-
ey from tho fanners of the United
States iu order to put him in the White
House?
Isn't it n pitiable spectacle?
Not only does Mr Dryau with the
concurrence of his Indiana associate
on tho ticket xulicit contributions of
from $5 upward but he has evidently
mudo a careful computation of the
number of farmers who uro able to
"pay pay pay."
Just listen to him:
"Thoru nro hundreds of thousands of
farmers who are abundantly able to
contribute to the campaign fund
There aro thousands who could give
$100 apiece and newr Teel it. There
are tons of thousands who could give
$50 apiece without sacrillcing anything
and still more who could give $25 $10
and $5"
I Verily all standards of dignity in
public life and politics have been
thrown to tho winds when wo have
come down to tills "Who will bo tho

Free SpeechNit I
Editor Benedict of tho Oklahoma
City Times has engendered the dis-
pleasure of our most royal high gover-
nor for asking said governor some
vory pointed questions about his con-
nection with the Prairie Oil company.
Tho governor didn't answer nny of tho
questions but he became pctulcnt
and had Benedict arrested for asking
them. Tho very idea of nit editor
asking the great Immaculate governor
of Oklahoma and treason:.- of thedom-
cratie national committee nny point-
ed questions! Benedict ought not to
think of disturbing the serenity of ono
so high and great. And he will iu
reality learn that when democracy is
iu power behind an almost impregna-
ble political machine and the govern-
ment rotteness begins to smell even
though it gets ranker than things did
iu Denmark not to ask question '.Ait
just smell up his part of the stink and
keep mum. This is a free country nnd
free speech nnd a free press is guaran-
teed only to those wlio howl praises

Benedict ought to be ashamed of
himself!

partment running smoothly.
At tliis time Cairman Norris is giv-
ing closo attention to the political poll
of the stato under tho Nebraska sys-
tem. Tho poll books furnished by Na-
tional Chairman Frank Hltchcockhavo

precincts and the poll should bo lin-
islied within the next week or ten
days. It will bo invaluable for cam-
paign purposes.
Chairman Norris is not busing his
campaign work on what happened in
this or that election in tho past. Hu
believes that Oklahoma is a republican
state If the republicans nro given n
chniico to vote and get their votes
counted. Ho Is determined that no-
body shall prevent these two things
and will not allow nny democrntorany
number of democrats to blulT him. Ho
