Booster Day.
Next Saturday, Dec 17, is the
Day, and of Course Barter
Springs is the Place.
The last Booster Day for 1910
will occur next Saturday, Dec
17, and the place where the big
doings will be pulled off will of
course be Baxter Springs, the
home of Booster Days. On that
day something more than fifty
prizes will be given away, and
the real beauty of this is that it
costs nothing to have a try at
the prizes. The only require
ments are that you live outside
the corporate limits of the city,
and that you register your ticket
in person.
If the weather is good next
Saturday there will be a record'
breaking crowd in town. In fact
we look for the biggest crowd
ever seen here, except, of course,
during the big reunions. And
inasmuch as the crowd will be a
big one, it behooves everybody
to get into town on that day. It
is only a week from that day till
Christmas, and holiday shoppers
are going to be very numerous.
Make it a point to register early
in the day, and then go and do
your shopping. The prize draw
ing will take place immediately
after the close of the registra
tion, at 3 o'clock, and if you wait
until late to do your trading you
may find it hard to get waited
on. Therefore, come early, reg
ister early, and make your pur
chases early.
The stocks of goods to be on
display next Saturday will be
the finest ever shown in Baxter
Springs. Th9re will be every
thing in the way of the needfuls
of iife,-and in addition there
will be immense, mammoth and
huge lines of holiday goods on
display. The merchants of Bax
ter Springs are not a set of hogs
and they are going to make
prices which will move car loads
of goods on that day. Baxter
Springs is the place to come on
next Saturday if you want' to
buy anything, or if you want to
have a real good time and get
your eyes full.
To Baxter Springslpeople we
want to make this suggestion:
Next Saturday morning early
buy what you have to get that
day. Don't expect to be waited
on later in the'day, for the town
is going to be brimful of people
from out of town, and you ought
by all means give the merchants
a chance to wait on the out of
town trade. Order your grocer
ies early in the morning, in the
evening before if possible, so de
livery can be made to you early
in the morning. By doing this
you can in a measure avoid the
rush that is sure to come.
Do your holiday shopping now
Only nine more shopping days
till Christmas.

Details About Construction Work
Being Closed.
If there has been doubt in the
minds of any of the citizens over
the construction of the Oklahoma
& Kansas Electric Railroad to
connect Galena with Baxter
Sorings and Miami and also Col
umbus such doubt probably, has
been dispelled by the company's
latest action in taking over
Franklin Smith's railroad line
from Miami to Hattonville at a
cost of $50,000, the money for
which has been paid over. Ac
cording to reports of the sale
$35,000 was paid for the rightof-
wav and $15,000 for the rails. It
is also announced that the engine
which has been in use on this
line for many months will be used
in hauling material from Miami
for the completion of the line and
as soon as possible the Miami
Hattonville line will be electri
fied.
As previously stated the plans
of the company call for the con
struction of a line from Galena
to Miami and at a point near the
Empire District company's big
plant at Riverton another line of
the road will branch off to Col
umbus, where connection will be
made with the Heim line to Pitts
burg. At Seventh and Main
streets in Galena the new line
will connect with the line of the
Southwest Missouri Railway com
pany, thus furnishing a belt line
connecting Galena, Columbus,
Pittsburg and Joplin.
In connection with the deal
iust closed it is stated that nego
tiations are pending for the use
of the Southwest Missouri tracks
between Galena and Joplin and
as a result of the plans no on it
not improbable that Galena and
Joplin will be connected by dou
ble track by that company.
At present there are two com
panies in the deal and this order
will continue until the two can
be merged. At a meeting of the
financiers, promoters and officers
of the new company Wm. Houk,
of the Conqueror Trust company
of Joplin, was elected president
of the Smith company, and will
hold this office until the consoli
dation can be effected according
to the lawsof the different states.
The officers chosen for the Okla
homa & Kansas line were Presi
dent, Charles M. Jones of Bax
ter Springs; Vice President, John
M. Cooper of Baxter Springs;
Manager, M. C. Harper of Mus
kogee, Okla., Directors, Wm.
Houk of Joplin; J. Shotnon of
Galena; L. Murray Perkins, J.
J." Fribley, Thos. F. Cole, E. B.
Morgan, E. W. Dow and Chas.
L. Smith of Baxter Springs; Dr.
W. L. Mc Williams, of Miami.
For the present the offices of
the officers have Jeen moved to
Miami. The city in which the
general offices will be located
permanently will be decided up
on later.
The plans of the new company
call for the installation of equip
ment of the latest' and most im
proved patterns and all cars used
will be on the order of those used
on the Heim line between Joplin
and Pittsburg while powerful
electric engines will be used for
handlincr freizht trains. It is
stated that the freight trains
will be operated between the
hours of 11 p. tn. and 5 a. m. in
order that there will be no inter
ference with the passenger traffic
but at intervals during the day
express cars will be operated to
handle the small package and
parcel business.

ton and in this event the power
troubles of the company will
have been reduced to the mini
mum.
With the completion of the
new line the movement for the
development of the resources of
the country traversed will become
general and Baxter Springs will
profit by the new line more than
iy other city. The line will be
especially valuable to the far
mers of Quaker Valley who make
business of small fruit and
truck raising as the line will put
them in touch with the markets
f iht different cities.

People Have Found Out That
Baxter Springs is the Best
Place to Buy the Nec
. essaries of. Life.
People are not slow to learn,
and when they learn of a place
where they can buy good goods
for a little money they will not
soon forget it. Baxter merchants
have been making extra induce
ments to get folks to buy goods
in this city, and they have been
successful to a marked degree,
Baxter merchants are carrying
heavier stocks of goods than ever
before, and the prices made are
so attractive, that people are com
ing from greater distances than
for a long time to buy here.
And it is psying them to do this.
Here they can not only get the
right prices on the necessaries cf
life, but they find stocks of goods
with a variety large enough to
satisfy the most particular. They
have gotten into the habit of
coming and they will continue to
