CIMARRON VALLEY
The Dodge City and Cimarron
Valley railroad was chartered at
Topeka Priday. This is the name
of the new Santa Fe cut off to
Coliner, N. M. The stock in thn
road is owned by tho Santa Fe
railroad company
The engineers say that tho
company is anxious to begin the
grading work as quickly as pos-
sible The deeds for tha right
of way are ready to sign aud they
will be signed up just as fast as
the owners can be reached. As
soon as these deeds are signed
the contract will bo let. The
condemnation feature will not be
permitted t. delay the work in
any event. The Commercial club
guaranteed tho company that
every foot of the right of way will
bo secured. And the company
has confidence in the integrity of
the business men of Dodge City.
The people of Stevens county
are asking what they can do for
the road through the county
They have offered to secure the
right of way if the road should
go through Hugoton. The right
of way has been secured to the
west hue of Haskell county, ex-
cept of course the few tracts in
Ford and Gray counties that
must be appraised by commis-
sioners.

the cases of the State vs Davis for

principal ones. The divorce and
to ^'closure dockets are also unusu-
ally l'ght for this term. There

It should grow better as they

good trading point and it's pop-

Odd Fellows Lay Corner Stone
Possibly everybody around town
had hoard that there was an Odd
Fellow* Lodge in town, but it is
very doubtful if they knew just
how much ice aaid lodg out uatil
last Thursday afternoon when it
turned out in full force to lay the
corner stone to tho new school
building. They had the Woodmen
Baud out and put on a march that
was some class. After marching
to the building site, and going
through a few inanouvers peculiar
to Odd Fellows, the Noble Grand,
K. A. Owens, duly placed the stone
and after placing the names of the
Bchool board, teachers, pupils and
members of the lodge, a Bible,
some wheat and some money, and
a copy of Thh Cimarron Nkws in
the cavity of tho stone, and read-
ing a very appropriate ceremony
it was uioitared in and tho build-
ing was officially started. The boys
felt duly honored by being asked
to lay the stone so did their best,
and managed to get off with it in a
creditable way. It was a good ad-
vertisement for the lodge and it
will do tho boys all good to know
that they have their names record-
ed in one place, at least, where "no
confounded wave can wash it out."
The Odd Fellows Lodge was or-
ganized some three years ago with
about a dozen members and has
steadily grown in favor and in
numbers until it now has a mem-
bership of over fifty. Founded on
the Three graud Liuks of "Friend-
•hip, Love and Truth," it cannot
help but appeal to men who be-
liete in right living. This lodge
will make a better man out of a
good man, and if by any combina-
tion of circumstances a mean mau
should be successful in getting on
the inside of the lodge and having
his name enrolled as one of its
members, it will make his co ..
scieuce hurt him if unything in
this world will. When a maiibub-
ftor^K'e^o the obligations of an
Odd FCTOWi lodge he is subscrib-
ing to no more nor less than pledg-
ing himself to the fulfillment of
the Ten Commandments. Of
course they are written in a differ-
ent language but by the time he
has tried to live up to his obliga-
tions awhile he will have a pretty
clear understanding of what the
Lord expected a man to be.
We are glad to see the lodge
prospering. It is a good thing for
any community as it has a tenden-
cy to improve the moral standard.
While the work on the building
has been some slower than waa
thought would be the case in the
beginning, it is progressing as fast
as could be hoped for under the
circumstances prevailing. An un-
usually cold fall has retarded the
work considerably. However, not
many months will have pasaed be-
fore the completion of the struc-
ture, and Boise City will point with
pride to a modern new school
building.
1.0. 0. f. OYSTER SUPPER
The Boise City Odd Fellows
lodge pulled off an oyster supper
last night at the hall. All Odd
Fellows and their families and
their friends were invited and were
all there, aud nice, slick, fresh oys-
ters were served a la (as you want
them) and wo suppose everybody
had edough as there wore lots of
ossters left. Tho Three Link
boys know how to have a good
time.
