Train Service Is
Still Suspended
Train cc-rvice pn this line of
railroad is still suspended since the
bad floods of ten days ago. The
passenger train which went west
on the evening of the 17th inst is
still at Forgan waiting for some
kind of bridge repairs to be made
on the Clear Creek and Otter
Creek bridges, .the first two brid-
ges west of this point. The budge
over the south'Canadian river near
Camargo is still unfinished in spite
of the fact that a big force has
been busy there for over a week.
Freight, express and mail service
both ways out of Woodward on
this line is badly congested and ij
will take some time to clear up the
congestion after tram service has
been ruu red. It is said that tem-
porary repairs may be sufficient to
allow some trains being run before
the end of this week. In the
meantime, we have been receiving
and sending out mail occasionally
in about every conceivable way,
except by airplane. The fact that
the state is under martial law at
present may account for the scarc-
ity of aircraft.

Seme Activity In
Real Estate
E. E. Strohmeier came in last
week fn m Kansas and got busy
with an iff ore to dispo.-e of his
property on the north side, where
he was formerly engaged in busi-
ness. He soon had three or four
prospective buyers.' but some of
them were not swjft enough and
Floyd St rate put up the best bi 'l
and got the property. Then things
began to move and by Mondaj
evoning Floyd had acquired the
west half of the new tile building
occupied by the postoffice and
The Bugle, and the editor had the
Strohmeier building and^ certain
other properly from Mr. StiauC.
As soon as this issue of The Bu-
gle is published the printing plant
will be moved to the Strohmeier
building where Mr. Latta intends
to also continue the Square Deal
Grocery and also add a good line
of general merchandise. We un-
Commercial Club
The regular meeting of.the May
Commercial Club, due to be held
Tuesday night, failed te material-
ize. On Monday cards were sent
out by the secretary urging a big
attendance for this meeting. The
secretary had quite a program o
business to be attended to, includ-
ing the election of a new chairmar
to succeed Mr. Rivers, and the ar-
ranging of plans to make a biggei
and better premium system ior
Trades Days.
At, about 8 o’clock the following
had assembled: O. D. Chandler,
lohn Cloyd, A. C. Seals, H- M.
McClung, A. E. Price, M. M
Horner and C W. Eatta. Nf
more came, and at 8:30 those pre-
sent decide! there was nothing t<
wait longer for so they cb'spersed
Some members were out of to»vr
and could not possibly be present,
but the members who were here
must each have feared that they-
might be elected club chairman -
at least we have heard no other
excuses for tneir failure to attend

The following described property
For soma months past there has
been some little $tra:n apparent ir j
the County Excise Board, some of
the members being favorable to an
extravagant bridge program plan-
ned by the County commissioners, |
and others being as strongly op-
posed. For the past year there
lias been a persistent effort to use
some $3,100 of Harper County to
help build a new bridge across
Clear Creek over in Ellis County.
This amount was included by the
county Commissioners in the an-
nual county estimate and when it
came to the county excise board
taking final action on the estimate
on Tuesday, this item and some
others were opposed by the county
attorney and the county assessor.
The final vote on the estimate was
t lk.m by roll call and all the other
members voted ior the estimate
as it stood while these two oppos-
ed the Ellis County bridge project
and three or lour other items, to-
talling $14,000. Of course, the
estimate was adopted over the
heads of County Attorney Willet
and Assessor Ricker, but those
two promptly filed injunction pro-
ceedings covering the objectionable
items, and this will effectually stop
any further action pending a re-
view of the situation in district
court, and possibly the supreme
court.
Messrs Willett and Ricker hold
that the expenditures they object
to are unnecessary and illegal and
they propose to conserve the tax-
payers’ money if the courts hold
with them. Public sentiment is
with them in their q-iTort and some
good lawyers unofficially express
the opinion that the injunction
will be made permanent.
