OF welcome 70 those gentlemen from
other states who are looking In Texas for
Investment and business location. AS II
now is, our business men can only
be seen at their place Of business,
and while business men from
other sections form favorable Impressions
from the strict attention to work in
others, yet there is magic in courtesy
none can resist. Persons seeking invest
ments and TO establish business enter
prlses in Texas will be prone to give the
preference to that town where they re-
ceive the greatest attention and courtesy,
other things being equal. They come TO
Fort Worth and see every man engrossed
in his work they are politely treated
by each, but feel themselves
intruders in business houses;
there is no organized attention and dis
cussion and means Of information, and
they 20 away impressed with the push Of
the city, but also with an impression Of
its selhshness. These strangers would
take no account of this, perhaps, If Fort
Worth was the only city offering field
TO their money and enterprise, but Fort
Worth is not the only one, and possible
co-workers are induced TO locate else
where, not because Fort Worth
did not promise to be as good
field as any other place, but
because other places had more time to
win the stranger with courtesy and atten-
ton. 1t cannot be known TO strangers
that men Ia Fort Worth have need to be
busy; no outside capital has paid for all
these palatial storehouses, street car lines,
public schoolhouses and other substan-
tial improvements, and donated the money
to get these railroads; Fort Worth has
been forced to depend on itself; and the
men who lead in these various public en-
terprises must needs give close attention
to their private affairs. Strangers
know nothing of the pluck and home
capital that have done so much for Fort
Worth in five short years, and they are
prone to impute selnshness where none
exists.
Fort Worth needs fine hotel building
in which any number of strangers can
find the best accommodations, and it
needs merchants exchange, where its
business men can meet and organize their
efforts and their courtesies.

Observation-Disclosures IlfuIgRATION.


The Marshall Herald mingles good and
bad indifferentlY in the suggestion that the
state should sell its lands 20 actual set
tiers only but in alternate sections. "In
this way" the Herald thinks, '1rom Eve
million to ten million acres could be
brought into cultivation every year, being
thus disposed of at from dollar to dol
lar and half an acre, while the remainder
would be increased In value from FIVE to
ten dollars" To sell the lands to actual
settlers alone is good policy but why
make distinction and say that the man
who buys him farm one year shall have
IL for dollar or a dollar and half an
acre, while the man who comes next year
shall pay five or ten dollars9 II the state
is TO use its lands to speculate in, that Is
the way to do II. But II it pursues the
true policy and wants to have these waste
lands taken up and put in cultivation by
industrious farmers II will exact only a
minimum price for all alike. When the
price is put up to five or ten dollars an
acre nobody but the comparatively well.
TODD can afford to buy; and as this will
exclude poor men, the very class who
must be depended upon to settle the
West, the policy defeats itself by keeping
away immigrants and retarding the set
Element Of the West.
II it is attempted arbitrarily to limit
the course of settlement by requiring mer
to take up alternate sections, whether
they prefer those or lands somewhere
else, immigration will be repealed, in
stead Of attracted The earliest settler,
of new country take up the best land
and they are entitled to it as premium
for enduring hardships that diminish al
population increases, OF the 100000
acres of public school lands not NOR,
thon 100000 are choice, the remainde
being inferior cultivable land and ariC
land unfit for cultivation. The choic,
spots will be settled on first, the les
choice afterward; but the process of set
Element and its course must be left Il
the Judgment of the settlers themselves
and not controlled by being limited Il
alternate sections. To do so Is to checl
the growth of the West by discouraginl
immigration.

brentwood, TEX, Jan. lD--It is a
universally admitted fact that most Texas
towns are overrated, and newspaper ac-
counts are generally SO exaggerated that
many emigrants, not fully realizing their
expectations, often become discouraged
and return to the old states before giving
this country a fair trial. The idea that
we must procure emigration, even by mis-
representing facts, is clearly wrong, for
the class of people who are constantly
emigrating is no material benefit to any
one except, perhaps, the railroads, and
every one who leaves Texas dissatisfied
assists in retarding emigration. Those
who who settle here and remain long
enough to become thoroughly acquainted
with the advantages as well as disadvan-
tages of this country as compared with
the old states, are sure TO be pleased and
become permanent residents
This has especially proved true with
regard to Brown county, as but few peo-
pie who have livedihere two years have
ever returned to their old homes. The
country around Brentwood is rapidly
being developed, and in five years there
will be little, II any, land susceptible of
being farmed which will not be in q high
state of civilization. Our people have
begun to realize that the land around
Brentwood is too valuable to be used
exclusively for grazing purposes, and
within the past two years quite number
of stockmen have turned their atten-
ton TO farming. The results have
been so favorable that now but few
stocks of cattle remain in the county,
and land which few years ago could not
find sale at ST per acre now sells at "a or
50. The soil will not produce without
cultivation, but with little work it pro-
duces as well as any land in the world.
The Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railroad
has done much to develop this section and
furnish market for our products. It's
advent has also had marked effect upon
Brentwood, and already the city has put
on metropolitan airs. Three lumber
yards are not able to supply the demand
for building material, and the class of
buildings being erected compares favora-
bly, with those of any city in the state.
Brownwood will not be satisfied with one
road, and our capitalists are already
anxious TO invest in the first road that
starts in this direction. We naturally
look towards Fort Worth for our next
road, but unless the Fort takes some step
soon, our people will endeavor to get
connection with the Missouri Pacific sys-
tenn at Gatesvile.
Brentwood has two of the finest -four
mills in the state, and her -four finds ready
sale all along the Santa Fee. She now
boasts Of several wholesale grocery houses
and one exclusive wholesale hardware
house. A $4,000 woolen-mill is the lat
est movement on foot, and its erection
would materially add to our city. A
large hotel is needed here even worse
than at Fort Worth. Persons coming
here are compelled to engage rooms in
advance.
The weather lately has been cold, damp
and disagrecable.

History of the Thriving Little Town in the

BUFFALO GAP, TEX, Jan. ls.-Buffalo
Gap is near the center of Taylor county.
about fifteen miles south of Abilene, and
midway between the old forts, Phantom
Hill in Jones county and Chadburne in
Runnels county. The town is beautifully
situated in one of the most noted gaps in
the range OF mountains, about 800 feet in
height, running from west to east through
the center of Taylor county. In 1916 this
section was regarded as a part of the
staked plain-a semi desert. Deer, ante
lope, buffalo, wild horses and small game
were here in abundance, but soon the
true character of the soil and the climate
was made known and stockmen came with
their herds, followed by the vigllant gran
ger. Various settlements were soon
formed in different parts of the county.
Messrs. Gray, Be auchamp, Morrow and
others founded settlement on the head

Faulkner and others opened up farms on
Elm messrs. Clayton, Simmons, Hun

and west OF Buffalo Gap on Elm.
In 1873 preliminary steps were taken to
organize the county. The first set of
county officers were elected July 8, 1873.
The twelfth OF September, 1873, Buffalo
Gap was chosen by majority of the vot-
ers OF the county as the county seat of
Taylor county. Churches were at once
established, schools were started and
every year witnessed more law-abiding
citizenship.
Messrs. A. j. Northington & Co., ]. C.
Davis, 9. Z. Gamble & Co., established
the first stores in the Gap. Business of
all kinds increased rapidly until the
county seat was changed from here 10
Abilene. In 1882 495 votes were cast In
the county and IN the county seat election
OF October, 1883, the number of votes
polled in the county was near HOO. The
county records were moved TO Abilene in
November after the October election
The old settlers of the Gap often speak of
the lively times during the early history
Of the town.
The people of Tyler county have mani
tested deep interest in education. and
have not neglected to establish schools i'm
different parts of the county. The first
school In the county was established m

kinds has been very dun during the wear

months during the scholastic year.

ENFORCING TIE Law.

There came yesterday TO THE GAZETTE
from its regular Donley county CORE
spondent the following letter, which is
given space in the editorial columns, that
attention may be called to the unparal-
leled spectacle OF grand jury indicting
Its own members for violations of law

Illegal fencing OF school lands were Charles
Goodnight, G. A. Brown, W. II. Oliver, John
n. Harrington, l., G. Coleman, A, 5. Mckinney,
Archie shcrrlck and II. V, Rowe, A verdict of
acqultta was rendered In each case. Five OF
the cattlemcn mentioned above were members
OF tho grant jury which brought tho lndot,
ments, but neither was present when the In
dictment against himself was decided upon.
Tho cases for the stato were ably fought by
District Attorney W. n. Woodman, aud In one
case the jury were out live hours before YER

Talk of Spartan hcrosm or the justice
of Roman fathers. Where in all the au-
nails of criminal practice is there re-
corded such virtue under such circum-
stances? Here are bullionaires, so to
speak, wealthy in this worlds goods, con-
descending TO obey the vulgar summons
OF sheriff to SIT on grand Jury; but
this is not all. 1t was the province of
that jury to bring indictments against
all known vlolators of the law; knowing
the delicacy that must aotuate grand

NEVER since the days when "Majah"
Edwards and "Col." Foster of st. Louis
met on the field of honor and exchanged
cline shots" has there been such excite
ment in that city over threatened repe-
tition Of the episode. Mr.. Van Studdi-
ford supplanted MIR. Stone in the affections
of society belle, and Mr.. Stone resented
the intrusion upon his hearts domain by
challenge in which be demands "such
satisfaction as one gentleman should give
TO another, and not with fists, either"
Mr.. Van Studdiford Is said to belong to
one of the "best families" and has sand
in his craw. Since Bloody island was
swallowed up by the encroaching Father
of Waters, outraged st. Louis honor,
being without historical rendezvous,
has usually extracted satisfaction from
the offender by doubling him up with a
kick in the abdomen. Mr.. Stones Ian
guage being rather ambiguous, one is left
to doubt II he is favorable to this method
Of winning back his lost love; but as he
only excerpts the flstic code, there is no
reason to believe that his objection ex-
tends to an abdominal collision The age
OF chivalry Is not past in st. Louis.
