"Ernest Hightower, promoter of the aerial line projected through this part of the country from New York to San Francisco, and who passed a worthless check of $75 on Ed Ford, telegraph operator in this city, a few weks ago, has been located. He is in jail at Lovelock, Nevada. Ernest had a decided penchant, so it turns out, for passing worless checks, and is badly wanted at several points east, of here. We understand there are several others in this city besides Ed who are holders of his checks." We suppose all the towns on the "selected" route heiped furnish Ernest pin-money.

He got about a hundred dollars here, but after some preliminaries relative to the route, his correspondence was disregarded and he had been lost track Telegram. School Debate News It has been impossible, because of the influenza ban, to hold the debate between Sherman County High and Hill City High School. Principal Ringwalt of the local school has just received a telegram from Dickinson County High announcing themselves the champions of the Fifth Congressional District and asking about conditions up in the Sixth. If the quarantine for epidemic is raised this week or early next week, the public may look for bills announcing the debate here between Hill City and Goodland.

The good roads proposition is still on the move. Here is a part of a letter from L. P. Scott, District Engineer of the State Highway Commission, regarding gravel roads and federal aid: "You could not start a movement for federal aid at a more favorable time than right now. All of the federal aid funds for some time has been allotted to counties that filed their petitions quite awhile ago.

However, there are a number of counties that have been very slow about tieing their money up. April first has been set as the final day of grace so that unless these counties step lively other counties will get the We especially wish petitions from Northwest Kansas. Of course there is no definite assurance of aid, but if you could file your petitions now it would be a wise thing to do." Other counties in the Northwest are alive on this proposition, too. Mr. Scott is addressing a good roads meeting in Russell Springs on the 24th, in Sharon Springs on the 25th, and he offers to come here for a public meeting on the 26th.

If the ban is raised, we will surely have him over. If conditions do not justify the removal of the ban, we will look for Scott at the first opportunity. He knows his work, will be able to tell us just exactly what to do, and the club wishes that when he comes, everyone interested in good roads shall hear him. Watch for the little hand bills.
