Railway Has Been Resumed.
That the line of railway for the
Rock Island system will be com-
pleted at an early date from Am-

Monday B. P. Yoakum who is at
the head of the Hock Island af-

Well Pleased Again.
About a year ago Peter Weber
a prominent farmer of Odessa
Kansas was induced to come to
Randall county and take a look
at the country lie came down
at that time and v..s so well
pleased that he invested very
heavily in lands here. During
the past week Mr. Weber made
his second trip to the county and
to the News reporter stated that
he was very highly pleased with
his investment here and that he
was utterly surprised at the very
large amount of advancement
that has taken place even during
the short time of a year since
his last visit. Said he "This is
fortninlv a verv nromisine town
and the country offers induce-1
inents very greatly above any!
that I know. I believe that in
ten years this section will be un-
surpassed as a farming country.
You have raised good crops of
almost all kinds whenever they
have been attended to in any-
thing like the proper manner
and that not only this past year
but every year since there has
been any farming attempted
here on a proper basis. I can-
not move to Randall county at
the present time but it is very
probable that I shall do so as
soon as my arrangements have
been made.'"
