J II. Abbott of Englewood Kansas
was it business visitor in tho county
Beat tho first of tho week and while
here had his name enrolled on tho Hkr-
ald's Big Book. Mr. Abbott was a
former reader of the Herald but for
tho past year has been tryl.ig to get
along without it. He couldn't do it
lione.o his visit to this otlico this week.
Thauks Mr. Abbott.
president and treasurer of the Beaver
Valley A 'Northwestern Railroad re-
turned from a business trip to Gage
Tuesday to which place they had been
in the interest of the building of the
road.
They found tho people and pro-
moters at that point inactive but be
fore they had been in town long a
meeting of tho citizens was called and
those gentlemen explained the situ-
ation fully to the people at that end of
tho line. While the people over there
had not lost Interest in the proposition
yet there Was some misunderstanding
as to tho timo that it was necessary to
have the stock subscriptions and right-
of-wav secured and they wero resting
easy expecting to commence active
work after the holiday season. Messrs.
Webb and Laughrin gavo them a con-
vincing talk on just what was neces-
sary to bo done and u very enthusias
tic meeting was hold and a number of
men secured who will put in full time
Irom now until the tlrst or tho year
canvassing that section and getting
the right-of-way and stock in shape to
turn ovor to tho construction company
by tho first of the year.
Jn tho short time that is left to do
business there win nave to uo some-1
thing doine all tho time if the vast
amount of work that is necessary to
be done is completed in timo to com
ply with tho contract. However this
can easily be taken care of if tho men
who havo agreed to look after this part
of tho work will work diligently. Tho
nconlo all along the lino havo heard
and read enough about tho proposition
to thoroughly understand it and it
ought not to require a very gruat
length of timo for them to Inform tho
solicitor who calls upon thorn' just
what they are going to do. If the
people will do this it will help a great
deal to expedite matters and rush tho
work along.
It soems hardly necessary for us to
call your attention to the fact of our
needB of the railro d again We have
kept that refrain ringing in your ears
for the past six years but yet t.iere are
Bonio who are obrtinato and while
probably convinced of their duty in the
maturwill not persuade thoniBolves
to shoulder a part of tho burden that
in the end will prove tho greatest
blessing to them. "Wo want to urge
upon our readers that tho matter of a
railroad is strictly up to them What
they do In tho premises is going to tell
tho talo and if they do not do they are
going to share equally with tho rest
.the disadvantages that will resuit.
One man nor one set of
I push the proposition to
It is going to take united effort and let
us toll yu right now that If this propo-
sition is allowed to go by tho wayside
it is going to bo a long time before tin-
business men of Beaver who h..v
spent lots of money and a whole lot or
their valuable time in trying to pus
the railroad proposition along wib
take hold of another proposition with
a muen energy nicy nave woruen
long and faithfully on this deal and
without any compensation in the least
and now after thoy have it within
reach of the people and as far ad-
vanced as they ever can get it without
the co-operation of the farmers they
could hurdlv be expected to tako up
the work again only to labor long and
faithfully with no promise that their
efforts wuld be received any more
generously.
The time is drawing nrar. What is
to be done must be dono at once. Wo
trust thatall will tako hold with re-
newed energy and push the work to
completion.
Beaver's Fourth Benzine Wagon.
Dr. L. S. MitHsell received his new
automobile tho first of the weok which
is number four for Beaver to date.
Doctor's machine is a red ono and n
dandy 'ooker. It is of tho high buggy
wheel design with solid tires which
will save him one great Inconvenience
at least the tire can't blow up on him.
Dr. Long and Frank Laughrin went
ovor to Liberal last week nftor the
machine returning to Beavor Saturday
They had a little bad luck just before
reaehliiK town and had to havo the
auto hauWl In but when they get It
rigged up again thoy anticipate no
trouble.

Little Miss Loulso Tracy entertained
a few of her little friends Saturday

immensely with their dolts and other
toys.
The dining table was tastefully
decorated with holly and after

cute little souvenirs of the occasion in
the shape of an im nenso p-janut which
held a tiny doll. Miniature suit cases
lilted with candy wero also presented
the littio girls as they took their de-
parture Our Christinas Edition.
Wo are handing our readers this
week our annual Christmas edition of
the Hjckai.d We have made tho
tesuo tho best that our equipment and
patronage would permit and wo trust
thai our efforts may not prove in vain.
There is no small amount of work at-
tached to issuing u special holiday
edition to say nothing of the added
expensu but we do not care for that.
Wo only regret that circumstance will
not pormit us to make it even bigger
and bettor.
The business men 'of Beaver havo
contributed liberally to the edition in
Christmas advertising for whhdi we
re very grateful and we i rust thut
unit or year may find us all enjoying
iho amb measure or greater pros-
perity when wo expect to accomplish
e.en better tilings along this line.
Wo ulso desire to thank tho little
folks who responded so generously to
our request for lotters to Santa Claus.
We trust that the desires of eaoh little
heart may bo realized and that this
Christmas may bo indeed a happy ono
for each of them.

Pretty Oood Sprinter
But not Oood Enough.
Dr L L Long was trying his sprint-
ing qualities one duy last week as
compared to his automobile and tho
content came near ending .atally.
Doctor was driving along nt a slow
rate of Bpeed in hi auto when ho de-
cided to let the machine run itself
while he run ahead and opened a gate
that impeded his passage. According-
ly ho placed the speed very low. and
jumped out to run ahead and opn the
gite but he proved a little slow the
miicnlnc beating him to the gate
tearitiK it down and making a beo lino
on down tho pike. After a good lively
ehaso Doctor managed to overtake the
runaway and no damage was done but
hereafter we surmise tho uuto will bo
Btopped when there ate gates to bo
opened.

Who Makes Your Abstract!?
It is a well recognized fact that tho
matter of titles to real estate Is'a ques-
tion of lav. That unlike many ques-
tions of law those relating to title to
real property havo been reduced to an
exact solenco. That these questions
while well settled are complex re-
quiring deep study and longcxo'erlenco
to fully master them.- -f
With a portion who has .given long
years of study to theso questions
added to years or practical expeiienco
tho making of Abstracts of tfltlo to
Real Property Is a Sciknck. Wlt'i
those who "havo just took it up" it Is a
