To The Tribune : Atwood lodge No.
164 , A. F. & A. M. , elected the following
officers for 189S : P. O. Bye , W. M. ; J. T.
Short , S. W. ; C. C. Pearson , J. W. ; O. V.
Henderson , S. D. ; M. T. Marshall , J. D. ;
Albert Hemming , secretary ; A. K. Bone ,
treasurer ; Henry C. Fairchild , S. S. ;
Dempster Scott , J. D.D. ; P. Stone , tyler.
Atwood has regained her lost prestige ;
she is loyal to the Burlington and gives
the company a splendid business. Every
business block is occupied and dwellings
are at a premium. Many empty store
buildings and residences are being moved
from Blakeman , four miles distant. Atwood -
wood now boasts of eight general stores ,
a flouring mill in full blast , a creamery
under contemplation. Business is flour
ishing. The county seat of Rawlins
county has a bright future. Twenty-two
thousand five hundred acres of winter
wheat of good yield and quality were
raised last 3'ear , and this acreage is in
creased 30 per cent for 1898 and is cov
ered by six inches of snow. Farmers are
paying their debts and lifting mortgages.
There is a sure cinch for a good wheat
crop next year. Many people from the east
have bought land. The sun of prosper
ity shines ; adversity is a nightmare of
the past ; brighter days are coming , and
the time will come when Atwood will
realize the fondest hopes of her best
friends.
Blakeman , once the pride of North
western Kansas , is being dismantled.
The station has been closed for a year.
Her stores , residences and business
blocks that noted the thrift of a stirring
western town are being hauled to Atwood
to increase the strength of that enterpris
ing county seat. The Coates hotel , an
hostelry once without a peer in Western
Kansas , that boasted of over 100 guest
chambers and a dining saloon that seated
over 200 guests , has been hauled by
piece-meal to different ranches. Her
once busy streets are deserted. Ten
years ago no town in Western Kansas
had a brighter future. She was the hub
whose spokes pointed in all directions.
Livery teams from her commodious sta
bles were constantly coming and going.
She was the terminal of the Orleans
branch. In the old days a passenger
made a round trip to and from that
point. St. Francis then was not on the
map. Wauo was a cowbo } ' town. The
Coates hotel was filled with guests from
all parts of the country. The unwritten
history of this noted town would make
an interesting volume. Like a mush
room she sprung up in the night ; like a
meteor she has passed awaj\ The tread
of busy feet no longer echos through her
once busj' thoroughfares Her business
men have located elsewhere. Adversity
like a blight has ruined her hopes. Like
all good things there is an end. Like
Auburn , the beautiful village of the
plain Goldsmith's deserted village she
lives only in the past with her blasted
hopes and disappointed ambitions ; her
glory is tradition , her history only a
memory.
