TEXLINE.
Good Reasons Why the Place Should
Become Quite City.
The Capitol Syndicate and the Railroads
Back of It, and Good Soil, Good Health
and Good Water in and About It.

To the Gazette.
The TeXline company will have a pub
lie sale of town lots to take place at Tex
line on the 31st day of August, and as
there are so few people of the state who
have ever visited the great Panhandle
country, and so few who really have a
knowledge of the extent of that portion
of the state and its wonderful climate
and resources, wish to take advantage
of the low rates offered by the railroads
and invite q large attendance of the peO-
pie Of the state to come to TeXline on the
3lst of August and see the Panhandle
country. By attending the town lot sale
on the 31st of August persons will have
an opportunity to traverse the
entire Panhandle from the extreme
southeast corner to the northwest
corner, and will have chance
to gain in some degree an
acquaintance with that growing section
of the state, and at the same time make
an investment in the town of Texline,
which will in a few years occupy as i'm
portant position among the cities of
Texas as the cities of Texarkana, Lar
edo and Ell Paso do at the present time
Situated in the northwest corner of
Dallam county near the line Of Texas
New Mexico and No Man 5 Lad, on the
line of the Fort Worth and Denver City
railway, 40 miles from Trinidad on the
northwest and 120 miles from Amarillo
on the southeast, being the central d.
vision station at the junction of the F0rt
Worth andA Denver City railway and
the Denver ,SIEort Worth and Texas rail-
road, and haEng the principal repair
shops, machine shops and rouRdbouses Of
both railroads located there under q
contract to remain permanently, this
alone would makeIexline astown of no
small Importance 3 The country tribu-
tary to the place via compare favorablv
with the best in the panIandle The soil
is rich and the crops grow there will be
the evidence produced.S No place in the
United States is more Especially favored
with reference to its4clfalatic influences.
Being at an altitude ofS4703 feet above
the sea level, the atmosphere is clear,
pure and lnvigoTating ana the water is
abundant and@of the pdrest and best
quality. ~
The railwaye recognizing the
great advantage of healtag location,
have selected Texline as the point for the
erection oEtheir hospital forsemployes.
Health is Wealth, and when tlfe thous-
ands OF Eeople who are suffering with
weak lungs, asthma and torpid Iivers
find out 33that they can be- made
sound and well by ssimpIy
going toSs Texhne and breathing
fresh air AID drinking pure wafgr, in
stead of thereSnly being q few people in
this county as now, there will be t96us-
ands who will gladly sing its praises =
A first-class and commodious hotel has
been completed and win be open for
guests by the 31st Of August.
The railroads have arranged for the
sale OF tickets at all stations between
Denver and Fort Worth, on the Goth and
30th of August, at one fare FOR the round
trip, good to return until Sept. 2, and
the owners of the town have advertised
to deduct the amount paid for fare from
all purchases of town lots made on Au-
gust 81, amounting to SI0O or more.
This ought to insure a large attendance
at the sale from Texas, Colorado and
New Mexico. Within q very short time
Texline, on account of its favorable
location, climate and water, and with
the railroads and the capitol syndicate
behind II, and other favorable surround
iugs to be developed in the future, will
be a nice city, and win be to the Pan
handle OF Texas what Denison, TeXar-
kama, Laredo and FL Paso, all border
towns and gateways TO Texas, are TO the
balance of the state. We confidently
look for large attendance on the 3lst,
and will try TO make it pleasant for all
who come. Respectfully,
a. L. MATLoCK.
