der consideration for sumo time to
build a stub lino from Beaver to For-
gan connecting with the W. F. A N
W. at that place has again been taken
up and somo active work done the
past two weeks. The plan is to inter-
est the pcoplo who need tho line and
to whom it will mean thousands of
dollars In tho way of better markets
for their crops ndvanco in tho value
of their lands and not tho least by any
means a quicker and better road to
markvt doing away with the dead drag
through the Sand Hills which must bo
mudu to reach the north line while a
good solid roadway could be found
leading to the station on this side of
tho river for miles and miles to tho
southwest south and southeast. B.ut
in tho building of this lino the people
will not to asked to donate one cunt
and there will bu no such thing an a
bonus. They will bo asked to sub-
scribe stock instead and will becdmo
stockholders in tho railroad company
and share equally in tho benefits of the
same whether they subscribe f 100. IX)
or $1000 00 or any lesser amount for
that matter. This stock will bo sub-
scribed in tho form of notes which du
not become due and payablu until the
completion of the road and In case it
Is not built tho notes will bo void and
returned to tho signers. It is a fair
square proposition and ono in which
there Is every chance to win and none
to lose.
The feature which will appeal to tho
publlo is thit they will not be asked to
donate one cent but will receive stock
In tho railway company for every
dollar subscribed and no one doubts
for a minutu but that tho road would
bu a paying proposition from the first
and stock to subscribed would not
only prove a benefit to tho stockhold-
ers in bringing them a better nearer
and moro accessible market and en
hance the value of their property but
would bo a paying investment and re-
turn a good rate of interest in divi-
dends. Another thing it is mere than
likely after the project is well on the
way that If thev so desire tho local
company could dispose of th HiTo to
some ono of tho old established rail
ways and it is altogether probable that
the people would get their money back
and without o'ne cent expense secure
the great benefits which the building
of such a road would give.
Even farmer within a radius of
twenty to thirty miles of Beaver to tho
wc'S southwestsouth southeast and
east would bo wonderfully benefitted
by the building of a railroad from Bea-
ver to a connection with tho W. F. fc
N W. It would give them a good hard
roadway all tho way to Beavur over
which to haul their heavy loads of
wheat broomcorn hogB nnd other pro-
duco and eliminate the heavy pull
through the Sand Hills which they
mut now make In ordor to reach mar
ket to say nothing of the river cross
ings in many places which is wbrse
than the sand. The fanners sobth-
weBt who still haul to Liberal Kansas
pulling 40 mites and across tho Sand
Hills and a bad river crossing could
haul their products to Beaver over a
good hard road many of them mako
the trip and return home In ono day.
The same may be said of thoso south
and southoatt.
This railroad proposition Is ono "of
tho people by tho people and for tho
people" and wo believe it is ono tho
people can not afford to turn down.
Tho Beaver Commercial Club and a
number of leaJing residents of the
county have cone into tho project to
win and they should have tho hearty
aupport and co-operation of the cntiro
c'tiienshlp of the territory affected to
a man. Plans have been agreed upon
a contract formulated and the follow
ing officers and trustees selected.

II. Griffith of Woodward a railroad
promoter and builder who is thorpugh-
ly familiar with every phase of tho
work has been secured to solicit stock
subscriptions. Ho is In touch with
parties who will finance the deal When
it is ready and also with material and
t .nn.innilnn concerns and will boa
valuablo man In pushlne the projtot to
completion. He will commence his
work this week and hopes to meet each
one personally nnu tuny explain mo
plan of promotion and not only secure
their hearty approval but a generous
subscription of stock.
Think this over carefully and be
ready to do your part. None of us aro
big enough to do this thing alone but
if wo all work together and for our
best intercut we can and will not only
securo the assuranco of tho building
of a lino of railroad to Beaver but will

THE TRIAL.
Up to this stage of tho proceedings
an earnest effort w as mado to appre
hend and secure evidence to convict
the gambling and bootlegging clement
which has unceremoniously overridden
all bounds of law respect nnd decency
In every llttlo town village nnd neigh-
borhood In the county and Sheriff
Jones and his deputies together with
Constable Judd of Forgan. deserve
great credit for tho manner in which
they discharged their official duties to
Becure tho arrest and conviction ot the
offenders but "There was something
rotton In the statu of Denmark" in
connection with tho trial and there
area whole 'lot of people sore over the
outcome of tho cases.
From all appearand! tho trial (?)
of tho cases took placo out of Court
and tho entire proceedings (?) aro not
such as would look well In print. The
facts of tho case are the entire
bootlegger and gambler fraternity ap-
peared on tho scon" and by their
threes abuso nnd chicanery secured
terms of compromise entirely satisfac-
tory to thomselves. When thn case
went into Court beforo Justice Ogilvle
the defense was represented by J. W.
Oulwell and County Attorney Smith
anneared for tho State. Tho defend
ants Alnnzti Ford 0. J. West Joo Ba-
ker and A. L. Thurman plead guilty
Ford was Oned $100 00 and West Ba-
ker and Thurman J25.00 each. The
cases against Kinder Burnam Russell
Dow Jones and Bradshow were dis-
missed. What tho peoplo want to kuow Is
why County Attorney Smith al-
lowed the offenders to dlctato their
own terms which was tho minimum
penalty for sucli offen.es? And why tho
charges were dismissed against six o(
the accused when it Appears that they
were as guilty and there was as much
ovidence to convict at least some of
them as there was to convict thoso
who plead guilty and wore fined?
Tho editor of the Herald In a spirit
of fairness attempted to Interview
County Attorney Smith in regard to
tho caso Tuesday but ho did not tako
kindly to our questioning. In fact ho
politely (?) Informed us that It didn't
mako any difference what tho people
thought nor what tho editor of tho
IUrald thought that ho would con
duct tho affairs of Hlrl office In his
own way.
Nevertheless tho people feel llko
thcro was Incompetency cold feet or
lack of backbone exhibited on tho part
of the County Attorney jn' this case
and they not only expect but are enti-
tled to an explanat'an.

The East and West Railroad
Situation.
Railroad promotion nows In the
Mkiiai.I) the past few weeks has been
conspicuous by its absonco. The prop-
osition has been ntn standstill and
thcro was nothing of interest to report.
The situation Is this in regard to
the east and west railroad project to
aIiIcIi wo have been pinning our faith
for many moons and which is not yet
dead but sleepeth. This project Is
best known o the Alva proposition
ind Is the line which is being promot-
ed from Alva via. Beaver to Des
Motnes Now Mexico The line which
his been so faithfully boosted by tho
Viva promoters and others all' along
il: proposed route was in a fair way
tn commence actual construction all
tho preliminary arrangements haying
been mudu and a deal practically con
intimated to securo tho funds from
French bankers to financo tho propo-
rtion when tho war In the Balkans
Troubled With Cancer.
.1. 0. Judd went to Kansas City last
week where ho will receive treatment
for cancor. Tho growth is on his back
and has been causing him considerable
trouble for some tlmo. The operation
Is tint necessarily a serious one but
will no doubt pruvo qulto painful for
thoso cancers are generally deep-soated
and require severe treatment.
The HehaM) together with Mr.
Judd' many friends trust that he may
find speedy relief and soon return en
tirely recovered.

Iron ring and accidentally etruck the
little girl inflicting an ugly wound
and fraoturlng the skull. At last re-

World wera satisfactorily settled and
It was known that their money would
not bo needed at home. Thus the Alva
proposition was at a standstill and. in-
asmuch as 'ho peace conference of the
powers has not been able to agrco upon
satisfactory terms of peace and fight
ing has been resumed in tho Balkans
it is probable that this road wlllnot be
able to build for several months. Tho
project has not been abandoned by any
means but for tho present there Is
nothing doing.
