The method of "trial and error" incomputirig telephone
rates has thrown innumerable telephone-companies into the
bankruptcy court. Untold fortunes have been lost by in
capable or unscrupulous promoters who have lowered rates
below the danger mark.
For more than a quarter of a century, rate experts in the
employ of this company have closely studied the problems
that enter into rate making for both local and long distance
telephone service.
You as a telephone user have a right to know why you
pay the rate you do for service.
This company, appreciating your patronage, will, in
following articles in this paper, explain the means by which
telephone rates have been brought to a basis of absolute
fairness for both the telephone user and the stockholder.

Story of a Fast Train.
"I was lately on a train." observed
the timid passenger, that went so fast
it was dangerous to look out of the
window, as jou were likely to have
your eyesight broken off and carrh-d
away. Why. the very farmhouses
looked like the street of a village,
they came so fast, and the hind car
wheels touched the rails only once in
a while.
"Thete was not a particle of noise
to be heaid, because the train got far
ahead of it. and people along the track
said the noise kept about a mile back.
The dust didn't have time to get up
and dust until the train had got far
away, and the way it then got up and
dusted was a warning. The telegraph
poles were not visible, and the very
sunbeams did not have a chance to
get in the windows, and. of course,
the shadow of the cars kept some
thing like a mile and a quarter in the
rear. Our watches got all out of time,
as we Hew westward so fast that we
got clear ahead of the sun. The fric
tion of the air took all the paint off the
outside of the cars, and hats were
sucked up through the ventilators. If
you had dropped a book it would not
have touched the floor until it had
reached the back of the car, while
flies were dashed against the rear
end of the coach and killed. Of
course, the people could not see the
train at all. and were continually driv
ing into it at the crossings, but they
didn't know any better before or aft
erward. It was thought that light
ning struck them, as they didn't know
what else it was, and people along the
line said the train left a tunnel in the
air which did not fill up for half an
hour, while the air was hot from fric
tion. If you would foolishly point
your finger out of the window at any
thing it would be taken off as slick as
a knife by the solidified air. We went
through a terrible rainstorm, but not a
drop touched the train. It didn't get
a chance. Several bolts of lightning
went for us, but fell a mile or two
short.
"The rear brakeman fell off the car,
but the suction kept him following
right behind, and they reached out
and pulled him in all right but quite
dizzy-headed. At one place a bridge
had been washed away, but that did
not interfere at all. for we jumped the
chasm and went on as if nothing had
been wrong. The most wonderful
thing about it was, that night we wit
nessed the phenomenon of the sun set
ting in the east, a sight never before
witnessed, we had traveled so much
ahead of it. That was the fastest ride
I ever took." Detroit Free Press.

Come and permit us to show you the actual facts,
regarding this great state, and especially Finney County,
Kansas.
Karr &
COLUMBUS,
We are offering through the efforts of
Chas. I. Zirkle & Co., of Garden City, Kansas,
one of the best propositions now on the mar
ket, viz: over 100,000 acres of fine, level
land, well watered by springs and creeks and
all underlaid by an inexhaustible supply of
the very best and purest of soft water, at a
depth of from 6 to 80 feet; good, deep, rich
soil and at the extremely low price of from
$12.50 to $35.00 per acre.
In this section of Kansas the rain fall is
sufficient to mature any crop adopted to this
climate viz: Wheat, corn, oats, barley, kaffir
corn, milo maise, rye, millet, sweet potatoes,
irish potatoes and Garden Truck of all kinds.
And besides there is on this tract of land
more than 20,066 acres of the very finest of
shallow water sub-irrigated land, ALFALFA
LAND, than which none other better can be
found in the WORLD.
The developement of Kansas has demonstrated
that every county developed in the line of march to
the West, has proven to be better than the territory
previously under cultivation in fact, one of the last
counties cf the fully developed Pawnee less than
50 miles East of the land we are offering for sale,
was FIRST in wheat production last year, and Ford
County, which adjoins this land, an only meagerly
developed, occupied FIFTH place.
As developement extends westward, land values
climb UP and UP and Finney county is just now on
the verge of a great BOOM, yet people are not
aware of its magnificent possibilities; they will be very
soon, therefore now is the time to act.
