A SETTLED FACT.

The Committees Report.
The question of the location of tho new
Presbyterian College has been a subject
of much interest to the people of this city.
The advantages accruing from the college
arc self evident. The only question now
agitating the minds of the citizens and
committees is to find a location that will
be of equal benefit to all concerned.
The Rev. Dr. Boyd, the chairman of
the city committee, informs us in an
swer to a few inquiries, that it has been
positively decided to locate the college
here. The building will probably cost,
when completed, about $50,000. It will
be built of Ford county sandstone The
building itself will be of modern school
architecture, and will contain orery need
ed apparatus and contrivance. Its cur
iculum will embrace everything found in a
first class literary and scitntiflc college.
This school is being organized under the
sanction and guidance of the Larned
Presbytery, which embraces almost all of
the west half of Kansas, and its patron
age is assured. It must not be under
stood that this is to be a sectarian school,
said the Doctor. While it is supported
by the Presbyterians, it will be non-sectarian
in its teachings and conducted on
the most liberal plan. It is not even un
derstood that the faculty will be com
posed entirely of members of that denom
ination, although tho probabilities are
that it will. Dr. Boyd also informs us
that a President for the school will be en
gaged at once whose known experience
and ability will insure certain success.
The school will open for a preparatory
session this fall in such a part of the
buildings as will bo completed at that
time. A large number of students have
spoken of attending the opening session.
The college proper will begin its regular
sessions during the fall of the following
year.
The committee appointed by the Lar
ned Presbytery to confer with the city
committee for the purpose of locating the
college site consists of the Rev. J. W.
Thompson, of Great Bend; Rev. D. King
rev, of Garden City; Elder T. B. Stew
art, Spcareville; Elder J. W. Hanna,
Sterling; and Rev. D. B. F. Powelson, of
Lyons. After a thorough examination of
all the proposed sites the committee came
to this conclusion: Our preference is
first the west site, offered by Shinn,
Collar, Zimcrmann & Co., provided that
the assets can be guaranteed to cover a
forty acre site and $30,000 cash for build
ing, leaving us an equivalent of $20,000
for an operating fund.
Our second preference is the north site,
offered by Soule, Mullendore & Co., with
a similar guarantee. The committee
made a general proposition to the city,
asking the city committee to complete the
arrangements for one of the sites selected,
and guarantee the erection of the build
ing, according to the requirements of the
proposers of sites, giving notice within
five days to the chairman of Presbytery.
Committee. J. W. Thompson, T. B.
Stewart, D. Kingsley, J. Hanna, D. H.

This is certainly an enterprise of very
auspicious portent to Dodge City. En.
tcrprises of this nature are seldom held in
solution by the ordinary town lot boom.
It is the acme of permanency, and is a
source of extreme gratification to the cit
izens of both town and county.
This movement is intended to be for
the mutual advantage of all classes. We
find no selfish motives peeping forth from
an ill concealed disguise of public enter
prise. The draw-backs to western set
tlement are steadily giving way. All the
old difficulties of drouth and lack of rail
road facilities have vanished, and now it is
proposed to remove the last and most
dreaded difficulty, viz, the poor educa
tional advantages, the unavoidable
weakness of all newly settled communi
ties. The opening of our college will be
a trumpets blast all over the state, her
alding the dawn of a different era in the
history of our city. Some morning our
streets will be filled with the bright faces
of college boys and girls, and unchastity
and immorality with all its hideous
attaches, will shrink back in shame, and
will finally spread its wings for other hid
ing places. The churches will take heart
under the influence of the favored season,
in the enjoyment of a more vigorous
growth. God speed the day, and on the
coming of its morn the sun will rise over
a city unblemished save by the distorted
faces of baffled rum sellers.
Many people in the eastern states im
agine that our central and western Kan
sas towns are made up of the "rustler"
and "cowboy" clement, and that the
morality of our citizens is at a low ebb.
To such we will say that when you visit
us you will find matters just the reverse.
True, years ago, when the saloon was the
first business house a town could boast of
we had some rowdy element in onr midst.
But since we have banished these ante
rooms of hell from among us, the rough
Tiave disappeared, and our towns are now
being made up of the most refined and
greatest church going people in the
United States.
The Great Eastern Irrigating Ditch is

The nre alarm again startled the inhab
itants of this peaceful city, Friday after
noon. The platform of one of the R. R.
ware houses caught Are, probably from
one of the engines. The fire was prompt
ly extinguished without doing any seri
ous damage.
THE IiANDIS FRUIT FARM.
Last week we made mention of some
tree planting on the Landis farm north
east of the city. While we obtained the
figures from Mr. Landis' brother, who
has charge of the farm, it seems we did
not do the gentleman justice, as will ap
pear by the following letter:
Sterling, Kas., Mat 6, 1887.
N. B. Klaine.-Eso..
Deab sib: Enclosed check of $1 for the
Times. I notice in your issue of the 5th
you say I set out, &c. I suppose if you
intend to tell anything about Dodge or
its surroundings you never aim to under
estimate it, but you did in the above case.
I planted, through the superintendence of
my brother, this year and last, viz:
19,000 grape vines (not cuttings).
15,000 fruit trees.
25,000 forest trees.
5,000 shrub roots.
4,000 raspberry plants.
4,800 blackberry plants.
2,000 strawberry plants.
9,000 gooseberry plants.
This is only the beginning of the fruit
which I expect to put out. If worth
while you can make this correction and
use your own words. You may also say
that last year's planting was very satis
factory. Yours, A. G. Landis.
RESERVATION, NORTH SIDE
To rai Sbitob Dodob Cirr Tinas:
There seems to be in KansaB a disposi
tion on the part of everybody to suppose
that they have the best farm, located in
the best part of the country, and that
they have the best neighbors of any body.
Well, we are sure that that is the case
here, and we are impressed that we would
like to be heard from.
The farmers are well along with their
work for the season. The acreage of
corn planted in this vicinity is probably
seven hundred per cent greater than last
year. That of wheat and oats is small,
there will be a very considerable amount
of sod turned this season if the weather
is at all favorable. The people are man
ifesting a disposition to improve their
farms as fast as possible. The claim
shanty is consigned to other purpos.es,
and the farmer's wife is made happy by
moving into new, and more substantial
structures.
There has been a great many fruit and
ornamental trees planted this spring.
Our people were made sad last week by
the death of little Charlie, the two year
old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Bowers.
The funeral services were conductod at
the home "by Rev. Elliott, and the body
of little Charlie was laid away to rest.
This is the second visit of the sad mes
senger since the settlement of the reser
vation, which is now considerable over
two years, and we havo the thickest set
tled part of the county. Mr. and Mrs.
Bowers have the sympathy of the entire
community in their sad bereavement.
This however, serves to remind our peo
ple that we, and our friends must die,
and as we are here to stay, we are likely
to die here; hence the need of a well or
dered and well kept cemetery. And there
was a meeting held last Saturday after
noon at Mt. Pleasant school house for the
purpose of discussing the matter. At
which a board of trustees was chosen,
and a charter ordered, and a committee
appointed to look up locations and re
port at another meeting to be held at the
same place next Saturday the 15th, at 4
o'clock, p. m. It is hoped that a full at
tendance will be had, grounds selected,
and steps taken for its platting. This is
a matter in which all ought to be inter
ested, let all attend.
Mr. Editor, we all recognize the Times
as being the best paper in the west.
