AX'of tho proposed Gordon railroad from
tbo north west to this city since
Major Gordon was in Anudnrko and
tho Commercial club closed a contract
with film for tho construction of tho
road to this city guaranteeing him a
bonus of $60000 to be paid after the
road should bo completed nnd in opera-
tion tho subject u not dead nor oven
slewing according to reports from
othir places along thoptoposcd route.
Last week Major Gordon was in
Mutual and tho Mutual Enterprise
his tho following regard the progress
being mado in tno matter.
Major Gordon returned hero from
Fargo and points northwest of Mutual
on Monday afternoon last.
Notwithstanding tho wock has been
one of unusual severity tho mercury
at times registering down to zero or
below ho brings back. with him most
encouraging reports of the interest
felt by tho people between Mutual and
Fargo In tho construction of tho pro-
posed railroad th?ough this regi in.
On Monday night h receive: n
telephone message from Fargo to tho
effect that tho cltizenB of that place
and tho company controlling tho town
site and adjacent lands had agreed to
accept this proposition for making
Fargo tho crossing point on the Santa
Fo railroad.
Wo understand that this proposition
involves;
First subscription of twenty-five
thousand dollars cash from Iho citizons
of that town as a bonus.
Second a conveyance nnd transfer
of one-half of the capital stock of the
Fargo Town & Investment Co. which
moanB the transfer of one-half of
about 270 lots in th present townsito
and one-half of about 320 acres of
lnnd immediately adjacent suitable
for building lots: and also tho right
of-way through said town nnd the
citizens are to furnish ten miles of
right-of-way southwest or southeast
and northwest from Forgo.
Third the cash nubscription is to
be ovldenccd by notes which with
tho deeds to one-half of tho capital
stock of the company aro to bqnlac-
rd in escrow or trust in tho hands of
tho trustee to bo agreed upon be-
tween parties and by said trustee
held during tho timo allowed for
building the railroad.
Fourth. Major agrees on his. part
jjsatablish r.t Fnrgo a freight divi-
sion of tno proposed railroad that
point being about tho right distance
from Thomas Custer County for such
r 'ivision Tho townsito and Invest-
ment Compare ilso to furnish forty
a res foruundhouso nnd division pur-
pses. Tho bonus thus offered bv
1 argo will total an amount not less
t in $100000.00
Iifth Tho above mentioned bonuses
tj Lc mado payable on tho completion
cr t1 irty miles of railroad southwest
" I r0 which railroad is to be com
for thirty miles not later than
1 r t of March 1912.
a lition to tho above wo learn
t iir lnnd ownors and farmors bo-
Huckberry und Forgo for sover-
on both sides of tho proposed
o taking a very lively interest
pi
sujscribing ono dollar per
- their land. The action is ab
- y necessary nil along tho lino
n Vr to secure tho railroad. And
unleps this is done we cannot hop
lor thtso great benefits to como from
railroad transportation through this
region.
Tho land owners nnd farmers should
realizo this and net accordingly. It
requires concerted action or othcrwiso
all nur work done heretofor will provo
unavalli.g. Hut with united oilort
of our pecpln north of the south Ca-
nadian river in conjunction with
thoso south of that river 03 far as
Chickashn who havo nlready promis-
ed Mp to tho extent of several hun
dred thousand dollars our road Is
bound to succeed.
Wo should all rally vo tho support
of Major Gordon who has persistent-
ly intelligently and successfully
given his almost undivided timo and
great energies to the word for many
months notwithstanding tho fact that
it involved largo personal oxponse to
him in timo and monoy beyond tho
local help to him from our people.
Mijor Gordoii goes to Lonora Dewey
county by invcrtntton to speak to
the people at a largely advertised
meeting Saturday tho 2Gth which is
tomorrow.
Surely it is timo that tho citizons
of Mutual and tho formers of tho
North Canadian Valley including re-
gion nrcund Cestos who havo not yet
mainfested their interest by subscribing-to
this most important entarpriso
should awake to their duty.
HOW THEY BITE
Any Old Scheme Will Cat-h Some
of 'Em.
The average businoss man is sup-
posed to bo more or less astute but
it is astonishing how easily he can play
the roll of tho sucker somotimes.
Every day or two somj chap arrives
in Anadarko with some special at-
traction in tho way of an advertising
schemo. Of course tho business man
knows that tho promoters tho print-
ers and tho solicitors for this schema
all have to muko something out of it.
It is his business to know whother
ho docs or not that tho newspaper is
proven unquestionably to bo the best
advertising medium extant and no
has only to 'phono tho ollico and get
in his nd Hut ho will tako up the
scheme pny troro for it and get less
from it rather than do business with
the papor that is ctornally mnkhg
him business by boosting the town ho
lives in. It's hardly time to go
fishing yet but suckers will bite any
old time and lots of folks fish for
them.

SHOWING VALUE OF THE HEN
If It Could De Capitalized Its Product
Would Pay Bigger Dividends
Than Railroads.
It Is claimed that tho average pro-
duction of a hen Is 200 eggs per an-
i m but It Is safe to nssumo that tho
nttunl Ih much below this flguro tho
Wall Street Journnl says. Adopting
the . very conservative- flguro of 120
eggs per hen per nnnum wo And on
tho nbovo basis of production thoro
aro 150000000 laying hens In the
United Slates responsible for the pro-
duction of 18000000000 eggs.
At tho farm prlco of 20 cents per
dozen tho total Income derived from
ench hen annually would amount to
two dollars. Allowing 40 cents for
mnlntennnco nnd ten cents for de-
predation which latter would wipe
out tho market vultio of tho hen In
four years Irrespective of snlvago
when the period of pinductlon Is over
tho net profit per hen por annum
Amounts to $1 .HO.
This profitaccording to Wall street
standard! capitalized on a live per
cunt income basis would place a
nominal value of $30 on oach hen. Por
tho 150000000 hom this would amount
to the enormous total of $4ri00000000.
That $io American hun can roturn
n yloM ui five per rent per milium oo
a capitalization of $4500000000 op-
ponrs nothing short of remarkable
but such Is the caso. The entire out-
standing capital obligation of the rail-
roads of tho United States In 1007
woYo loss than four times this amount
or $1C08214G0S3. whllo tho total paid
out In Interest and dividends ropro-
Bontod but 4.05 per cont. of this
amount.
