HASKELL.
Voted-EYidenees of Growth on
Every Hand.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
HASKELL, TEX. April To-day the
long drouth was brought to an end by
splendid refreshing shower. A real good
season is assured and all classes, es-
pecially stockmen and farmers, now
wear long, pleasing smile, as oats and
wheat were suffering terribly for want of
rain and stock water in many places was
getting very scarce. Real estate men
and merchants also come in for their
share of rejoicing, so all GLASSES
are more buoyant and hopeful that
things will loom up. Haskell has been
on quite a little boom for the past sixty
or ninety days; not because of any local
railroad excitement or agitation, but
because of the great demand for prop
erty. Prices have advanced IN some in
stances 100 per cent. end no little
amount of Haskell City property has
changed hands since the 1st of
March. All hotels and boarding
houses have been crowded. Every day
brings to our city more prospectors and
investors, and Fort Worth, Dallas and
Waco come in for their share of men
hunting for some suitable place for in
vestment of their wealth where it will
bring them the quickest and greatest
returns, and all keen foresighted bust
ness men see and know that
Haskell City and county is the place.
What Haskell needs now most is a first
class hotel to supply the great demand
for board and lodging, a national bank
to hold the surplus cash of the commu-
ity, and first-class newspaper that will
keep pace with the progress OF the times
and give the news of the day and prog
ress of the city and country.
Our city has just voted special school
tax of fifteen cents on the 500 valuation
of property TO supplement the public
free school fund, and our trustees are
now endeavorlng to make arrangements
to build a nice college building for the
next free school.
About twenty new residences are now
under course of erection and to be built
within the next thirty days. Truly
Haskell City is the future Fort Worth of
Western Texas, and when she gets the
three railroads now pointing in
this direction and whose charters call for
Haskell county, she will be indeed the
queen city of the West. Several new
additions to the city have recently been
laid out to supply the great demand for
resident property. One of our real es-
tate men, f. p. Morgan, has just filed
for record a plat of his addition, which is
superbly plated, is choice property and
being sold rapidly at cheap rates.
Our district court has just adjourned

FRESNO, Tex, April /, 1890.
Knowing that great many people
come to the Panhandle in search of va
cant school lands, and look along the
railroad and ask few questions about
land, some one that wants to sell for g
bonus is ready to tell them the good
school land is all taken, so they DO not
go to the expense of hiring conveyance
and looking over the country without any
encouragement, and after meeting these
flaws they become disgusted and are not
able to pay bonus, and they go back
and tell the people the land that is any
case. There is hundreds Of good sections
that can every foot be plowed without
striking grub or rock. COllingsworth
county Is an unorganiZed county, which
has just commenced to settle land the peo-
pie OF this county will be pleased to show
the prospector these lands, which are
state school lands, and on the market at

dry. The soil is a rich black and red
sandy loan, with clay foundation. Good
