Right Of Way Being
Secured*
The railroad right o f way men
have been at work the past few
day» securing ¡the right of way
for the construction of the pro-
posed road and with the valuable
help of two o f our public spirit
ed men, namely, V. A. Good«*
and Geo. A. Smith have made
rapid progress.
All of the right of way from
the Humphrey place to the Prat -
urn road has been stcured, Mr.
McKIhaney being the first man
lo sign up. Too much cannot he
said for the progressiveness and
public spiritedness shown by
Messrs McElhaney, Goode and
Smith; the former gave o f his
lund and the two latter gave
their time and service. It is
such encouragement and help as
this that tihows the railroad men
that we are in earnest and mean
business. Let a few more o f our
citizens get out and hustle and
the road will be a certainty be
fore the community as a whole
realises it.
Mr. Husum the consulting en
gineer slated last week during
his visit here that he wanted to
know definitely by Nov. 10,
w hether the people here were in
earnest or not. so it is up to us
to put our Rhoulder to the wheel
and let everybody know that we
are a unit behind this propo
sition.

This is the

The climate is very much like
