TOWN STORY FROM DODGE CITY-
in Tao Panittil U Til mil Off ttotV f
test on stories describing different Run,
. o fnllnwlnor WIS DubllBbed
last Sunday. . i
B H. MCP. BALDWIN.
Should any ono who has visited Dodge
City a mow or more of years ago, per
chance read this brief description of some
of Its leading characteristics, the writer
mlgbt be considered a rather careless
handler or the truth, but should the erst
while visitor return and tarry with us
awhile all doubts would be dispelled and
truth would once more be proven strat ger
than flctlan.
There is perhaps no town In this great
commonwealth where there has been a
greater moral regeneration, a complete
transformation from a wild, mostly law
less community, to one of the quietest,
most orderly and best governed munici
palities In the West. The day of the cow
puncher and cattle rustler has lorg since
passed. "Boot Hill" la only a sad
memory where now stand a modern
structure, from wnose portals young la
dles and gentlemen are now coming arm
ed with one of tbe best weapons to fight
life's battles, a high school diploma.
From the town of shacks and tents we
have grown to a well laid out little city
Of nearly 4,000, with many beautiful homes
surrounded by by attractive lawns and
protected from the blistering sun by
numerous shade trees. Tbe business por
tlon of the city will also show a wonder
ful Improvement with Its brick blocks and
up-to.date stores and will compare favor
ably with any city of a like size in tbe
state. Our schools are of a high order
and we have six churches to supply tbe
spiritual needs of the Inhabitants. A
community of thrifty farmere surrounds us,
Celug a division point of the Santa Fe,
a large proportion of our cltizins are
railway employees. We have three grain
elevators, one flour mill, a broom factory
and a plant for the manufacture of build
ing bl"cks, with other Industries con
templated. It was one of our ciiaracterlHtlo sum
mer days with tbe temperturo hovering
near the century mark when I approached
one of our oldest inhabitants and ad
dressed to hlra the following question:
"What distinctive featare does our town
possess?" With tbe perspiration exuding
from every pore of his benign counte
nance, be serenely replied. "Why our
delightful climate." 1 was about to turn
from him In disgust, but when I thought
of tbe delightful evening aod night that
would surely follow the afternoon, the
scores of beat prostrations lit tbe larg e
olties east of tbe Mississippi and the
millions who were endeavoring to get
few moments of refreshing slumber
after surviving the humid beat of the day
I was willing to concede that there was
more truth than sarcasm In my friend's
reply. Tbe cool evenings and nights, no
matter bow warm the clays, are certainly
distinctive features of onr towns lu Kan-
tat especially in tbe eastern half of the
state aod make It an especially desirable
abldelng place In tbe summer as well as
other seasons,
But our climate is not our only attrac
tion. Our especial pride Is a grove
which lu size at least Is umqualedln
Kausas and which perhaps is unsurpassed
in natural beauty, witb lis wealth of
shade from Its thousand or more of elm,
boxelder, Cottonwood, maple and other
trees. This Is tbe camplngground of tbe
Southwestern Kansas .Veterans' Assocla
tlon. For tbe pist seven years the re
union of the veterans has been tbe event
of our town. Wltb Its array of dlstiii
gulshed speakers, Its many thousands of
visitors and the vitrled amusements lu
progress, tbe gatht ring of tbe old soldlei s
Is anticipated with the liveliest Interest,
for we feel that we we will bold one of
the largest assemblies of any of our neigh
boring oil ies. So long have we held these
reunions that we are are beginning to be
lieve that we hare a perpetual lease upon
the veterans and their famlles and tbelr
friends.
One of the desirable feature! of our
town Is tbe moral atmosphere which en
velopes It. We have no street brawls,
no rowdyism, no street mashers, no
joints, In fact evil doers are as scarce hs
flies in midwinter. Tbemarshall bastbe
least to do of any one In tbe town, There
Is apparently so little demand for bis ser
vices that tbe city council Is thinking ser.
lously of abolishing the office. Here we
have no graft, no political scandals, no
town gossip, but a well governed, luw
abiding, charitable and thrifty people.
Verily ours mlgbt be considered a
model city, the Utopia of the West.
Ours Is a very sociable community.
The cordiality, hospitality and good
cheer extended to the stranger In our
midst bless blm that gives and him that
receives. The study clubs, musical clubs,
art clubs, aesthetic clubs, reading clubs,
debating clubs, society clubs and nume
ou8 other clubs that could hardly be
classified, make life here very agreeable.
We neyer did feel dull. Throughout tbe
entire year there Is something doing by
tbe various clubs and ennui Is an afflic
tion tbat Is a stranger to us.
We can hardly boast of our old fid
dlers, but we have a few members of the
old cowboy band left who would not
play second fiddle to any one in the State.
Our military band has made life very
pletsaut Ibis summer wltb Its semi
weekly concerts. Its fame has reached
our neighbors.
Need I say more to convince you Mr.
Town Editor tbat ours Is a very desira
ble town In which to dwell?
Uncle Joe Cannon, who was with us a
few days ago Is alleged to have said that
this Is tbe garden spot of tbe world
Perhaps he Is right.

Auto Crowd, with Long Drive
Record.
Cliff Markley has butted Into the auto
mobile crowd In Dodge City, and what
Is worse than that, has a' I of the
others laid In ihe shade for long trips,
while be Is still tbe newest member of
tbe Honk! Honk! push. He slipped up
on the Dodge nntolsts before they bt,
the least suspicion, and had taken the
long trip record before tbey knew that
be was In the game. A short time ago
be was visiting In Illinois, where he was
Uken with the antcr fever and he took
the only cure for this fever that has yet
been discovered. He bought a car It Is
a Beo runabout and as soon as he had
tbe remedy In hand be began applying
It. He got Into tbe Reo, turned on all of
tbe motor power and beaded the thing
for Kacsas. Seven days later be pulled
Into Dodgo City having made tbe long run
a part of the way through the mud made
by a two ir eh rain. He bas tbe record now
of over a thousand miles on a straight
drive, and is entitled to tbe p'acof

City. Cliff bas tbe make up of a genulue
autolst. Fa likes to ride at tbe rate of
several miles per minute and It won't be
a week before be will be out alongside of
the Santa Fe right of way racing with
tbe California limited. His new machine
appears to be a good one and be will
soon be an expert at running it.
TRIP TO HUTCHINSON.
Hustle to the Train Next Thursday
. Morning When the Band Plays
The special train which will be nin
from Dodge City next Thursday to
Hutchinson for tbe Dig state fair there,
will leave at 6:15 In the morning. The
Dodge City band will go witb this train
and a large crowd of town people are
promising to make tbe trip.
The' band will probably be playing at
the depot at 8 o'clock, and yog can
march to tbe train to music. Thursdiiy
will be tbe biggest day of tbe Hutchinson
fair, and tbe Flday following will be tbe
next, so that those who care to stay more
than one day may see tho two
biggest days of tbe fair by stay
ing over Friday. Tbe fare for the
round trip will be one fare plus 50
cents which will be a cbeip rate. There
are six different 81,000 stake races at the
fa'r this year, besides tbe other big rare
program The stock show will be one of
tbe greatest ever seen In Kanms. It is
expected that there will be from forty
thousand to fifty thousand people at the
fair on Thursday. Six bands have been
employed to furnish music at Hutchinson
during the week. On Thursday, tbe most
important day, tbe Didge City band wll1
furnish all of the music, so that tbe place
given the band from here Is quite a com
pliment to Dodge City.

Notice to Post Office Box Renters.
The practice prevails among a goodly
number of box renters of closing their
boxes with a slam which not only pre
vents the catching of the latch but In
jures tbe combination. By closing tbe
box door gently It will Always lock.
It Is an easy matter to ascertain wbo
close tbelr boxes wltb a slsra aod If the
praotlcels continued your box will be
cloud sgainst you and your mall put In
tbe general dill very.
It Is hoped that the patrons of the
office will comply with this request.
