WE LL BE PATIENT.
Since recieving information from
General Manager Mudge of the Santa
Fe to the effect that he would imme-
diately take up the matter of chang-
ing the name of our railroad station
from “Camchester" lo Manchester,
we are perfectly willing to lay low for
a reasonable length of time await
the much needed correction for the
convenience of both the railroad and
tiie town. Mr. Mudge informed us
that lie was not aware before that
there was any dissatisfaction over the
name the company adopted. He
knows it now and unnecessary delay
in restoring the l ights of Manches-
ter for which she paid her money
should be met with a general kick by
everybody in this part of the country.

The county received #217.68 as in

funds deposited in tiie various banks

Good enough. But while you were
speaking of the matter you might
have mentioned tiie fact that this
amount was saved to tiie county
through tiie official acts of County
Treasurer Shamleffer and County Com-
missioners Larkin Mann.C. N. Ernest
and E. M. Garrett. That $217.68 in
three months would mean, at the
same rate, the snug sum of $870.72 per
year—enough to build two or three
good bridges. Guess the boys did
the right tiling, even if Joe McClel-
land did kick.

A Campbell Oscillator that Will Print
1,600 Papers Per Hour • It Is the
Fourth Newspaper Press for
This Office in Ten Years.
The Journal is pleased to inform
itsvreaders this week that it reaches
them printed on new type with a
Campbell cylinder press with a pririi-
ing capacity of 1,500 impressions per
hour. It is somewhat different from
the way in which we launched the
Journal almost ten years ago across
the line at Cameron, Kansas.
At that time the paper was printed
on an army press, the cheapest of
presses built for general newspaper!
work. This press answered our pur-
pose until the strip opening and tiie;
paper was moved to Oklahoma, when
we soon felt the need of something
better, and in liecember, 1894, it was
replaced with a 6-colnmn Washington
hand press.
With this we got along nicely for a
few years, lmt as Manchester grew
we found a larger press necessary, and
on Aug. 18. 1899, we put in an 8-col-
umn press of the same pattern. It
was large enough and strong enough
to have lasted us a lifetime, hut-was
too slow for further use in this office,
so we discarded it to make room for a
press that is unexcelled for country
newspaper work, and ohe that will
doubtless print the Journal formally
years to come.
This press combines speed with
durability, and is built especially for
both newspaper and the larger classes
of job printing which cannot lie
handled on a job press.
We liave not yet put in a gasoline
engine, blit will do so in a very few
weeks and arrange it so as to run
either our uewspaper or job press, or;
both, at one and the same time.
This will give Manchester the best
equipped newspaper and job print ing
plant in Grant county, which advan-
tage we expect to hold as long as we
remain in the business in Grant
county, and we liaVe no intention of
quitting any ways soon.
Many people will think Manchester
too small a town to warrant the plac-
iyg of a newspaper plant such as the
Journal now has, but we propose to
take care of that matter without ask-
ing any man to donate a cent. We
are fixed to do good printing on short j
notice, as cheap as any country office]
can afford to do it, and all we ask is-
that you give us a fair chance.

Kansas when making shipments of

City is nothing more nor less than a
nuisance. On our line of road the
shipper is met at Anthony by Judge!
Rowell, an inspector. He asks you
how many cattle you have, where]
they are from and whether or not
they are for immediate slaughter.
If they are for immediate slaughter
you are required to make an affidavit
to that effect and it costs you a
quarter for your whole shipment.
But if your cattle are simply going to
the Kansas City market to go back to
country buyers he fixes you up with
“inspection" papers for which you
pay him two cents per head. You go j
onto Kansas City with your cattle
and “inspection” papers, hut when
you arrive there they are yarded in
the native division and you are never,
asked a single question and you never
hear quarantine or “inspect Ion’’
papers mentioned, no more than if,
your cattle were shipped from a:
Kansas point. The “inspection" busi-'
ness is entirely lost sight of at Kansas!
City and the man who buys your cat-

whit whether they came from Okla-
homa or Kansas, or whet her you have1
or have not “inspection” papers upon

so that the farmer or ranchman who
buys them can tell no more where
they came from than the man in the
