COIRE TO BOISE CITY
W« w r«L " Ct .j.
kid that the way to get things was
to ask for them and work for them.
Boise City needs a lew things and
we are going to ask for them and
work for them.
With all of its hard knocks and
black eyes, Cimarron county is not
a bad place to hang out. There are
lots of wheat stacks out over tl>|
county and many promising fields or
growing crops. The country is full
of good cattle, colts and cpigs which
all means but one thing, to-wit:
There is going to be a lot of mon-
ey coming to our people when they
get ready to turn loose of their pro-
ductions. Business has been good in
the county the past two years and
is going to be better as tim goees on.
The business man who locates here
and supplies what th people want
and are going to have is bound to
make money, scads of it . Our peo-
ple are free spenders and large buy-
ers. They have been good patrons
of mail order houses for the very
good reason that local dealers have
not the capital to carry stocks large
enough to supply the demand. Scores
of thousands of dollars go to the
dealers in the railroad towns across
the county line which might just as
well be kept in the county, if the
needs of the people could he sup-
plied here.
Boise City is the county seat and
is located in the center of the coun-
ty. It is the logical trading place
for a large and prosperous territory
but it has not the goods to supply
the demand. We have two good
general, stores, but they are only
bout one-fourth large enough. What
we need are stores large enough to
carry everything from a knitting-
needle to a threshing machine in
stock. We are so far removed from
wholesale centers that it is absolute-
ly necessary to carry large stocks of
farm supplies in order to meet the
demands of the trade.
This is not intended as n knock
on our stores, for they are good
stores as far as they go. but is <i
nl°a for larger stores. We would
like to interest men who would h
able to carry twenty thousand dol-
lar stocks. Our dealers will be glad
to form partnerships with them, or
will sell out to them.
Boise City wants a lumber yard
and needs it. Our farmers are build-
ing many grain bins, building new
homes and new barns. Building op-
erations amounted to more last year
than any two years previous since
the first'settlement. Every year will
see an increase in building and there
is no good reason why a lumber stock
wi'l not pay handsomely.
The trade should and will support
a good hardware and implement stock
Hundreds of new wagons and imple-
ments were bought last season and
th demand is increasing. A man
with sufficient capital could combine
the lumber and hardware business
liere and make a good thing out of
it. There is no dealer within fifty
miles, so why not?
We can not see why a grain dealer
should not be able to make a good
thing out of the business here. It
would mean much to the farmers
City
tor the farmers to be able to cash
th^ir p-rain and broom corn here.
We have a good small town hotel,
but some man could double the in-
come from it by taking it over and
doubling its capacity.
The town badly needs a harness
and shoe repairer. There is a cry-

Arm Broken
The little son of Prof. H. L.
Brown of Marelia was brought in
Saturday night by Ezra Ingle and
Everett Lowery to have the doctor
fix up a broken arm. According to
the boy's story he was driving in the
horses for night when one of them
ran over him and stepped on his left
arm breaking it above theb elbow.
His father was away at Texhoma so
the neighbor boys brought him up
in the Ingle car. He was standing
the pain manfully.

The Cimarron News,
Dear Editor: Can say I've been
away from Cimarron county four and
a half years or better, but often
think of my old homestead and would
like best to view the plains again.
1 take a great interest in the News
and am glad to rceive it every week.
Have been noticing the land transfers
and the great land sale. I aLso see
a sketch of some of my good old
neighbors and friend:1, which is a de-
light to me and best of all I am
glad they are doing well.
Say, by the way, I was surprised
to see one man had leased his land
for oil and I hope it to be a success.
As to wheat, you are a long ways
ahead of here. Our wheat is no good.
We had an unusual wet spring and
corn is very weedy and very small.
The smallest I ever saw here for the
time of year. I can't say as to the
future how it will do. Oats look
good and will do to harvest in 10 or
15 days. 1 never saw so much sour
dock arid other stuff in oats in my
life.
Price of wheat 95 to 99 cents a
bushel; corn 70 cents per bushel, and
oats 32-to 34 cents per bushel. Best
hogs $9.25. Good milch cows $65
to $100; hens 14c lb.; cream 30c;
butter 19 to 25c and eggs 19c.
Well, our Sundy school had a pic-
nic Children's Day and of course I
had to og and take the family and
as the dinner was extra I ate until
i don't feel well.
Must say we are needing rain very
bad at present. Stuff wilting up.
Ground very dry.
Say, Mr. Thomas, change my rural
route number from 5 to 9, to read:
J. G. MASHBURN,
R. 9, Lebanon. Indiana.
Wishing you success, I beg to re-
main.—■J. G. M.
A. A. Leedy put the finishing
touches on the Boise City and Cim-
arron Vailey telephone hre ethis week
by installing the new switch board
at the central office in the Simpson
home hej'e. This is an overhead line
and is all in splendid operation now.
