Decidedly Pcssinfistic.

Bro. Wimberly of the Hale Cen
ter Messenger is getting decidedly
peSsimistic, He went to the rail-
road meeting at Plainview and what
he saw and heard there appears to
have completely soured him.
Speaking of his experience there
he says:
1--WE never had the pleasure of
associating with railroad people to
any superlative degree, but we
heard some talk last Friday, and
their talk leads US to believe that
the newspaper man, the real estate
agent and the railroad promoter
will occupy the same pew in purga-
tory We believe this country is
destined to be the garden spot of
Texas, that the climate is really
invigorating, and that in time the
great Llano EStacado will be the
home of the happieSt and most
prosperous people to be found any
where; but we don't subscribe to
the statement that cas- soon as a
railroad is built through Hale coun-
ty her land will be worth from Sac
to 500 per acre" That is the
meaning of statement made b.
one of the speakers in the railroad
meeting at Plainview Friday.
Another told of pump they
use down in the rice belt, that
throws 5000 gallons of water per
minute, and stated these pumps
can be used to a maximum depth
of 90 feet and added that the wells
around Plainview were less than
90 feet deep. That is all facts,
but never the less one smart alex
around Hale Center had to figure
on the proposition. He says that
flow of water represents flow 2
feet in diameter and moving at the
rate of 8 miles per hour. We
don't need these pumps unless we
get a railroad. |"

For some weeks it has been ru-
mored that there was a man COM

we believe, to open pool and bill
lizard joint in Hereford. Whether
this is fact or not we have been
unable to learn, but rather think
such rumor a "feeler," feeling to
see if Hereford is sufficiently back
slidden to tolerate and maintain
such a wonderfully helpful % en-
terprise We hope there is Moth
ing in the rumor, and that our town
will continue to improve rather
than take step backward. Here

That Searchlight Man Abroad has
had the nose of his bellows pro-
truded in the air to such an alarm
ing elevation since his visit here
during the reunion that we fear a
separation of this member from his
anatomy. This little sense of
smell does treat some peoples ana
tony with such disgust and inSo-
lence that separation under such
provocations as the Searchlight
man has had is inevitable and pro.
nounced to be the best thing posi-
bic by specialists of this phenomena

BIG STADIUM
At HARVARD
IMMENSE STRUCTURE WHICH
WILL SEAT 10000 PEOPLE IS
NEARLY COMPLETED.

BOSTON, Mass, Nov 15.-Patterned
after the Coliseum at Rome, HarvaI d's
new stadium, on Soldiers Field is enc
of the finest structures in the world. 1t
is said to be the largest concrete steel
building that has ever been CONSTRUCT
ed. Already it has cost nearly $500, 600,
and by commencement next year, when
it will be completed, another $500 will
be expended The structure is larger
than the Coliseum at Rome. 1t is in
the form of a horseshoe, and there will
not be an inch of the quarter-mile
track running close along the inner
walls which cannot be seen from every
one of the $4,000 seats.
From one end of the horseshoe,
around the circle to the opposite end
the distance is 1430 feet, and from the
open end of the shoe to the outsid Of
the circling wall the distance is 573
feet. The oval is 1868 feet long and $50
! feet wide at the open end. 1t has be u
sodded, is as level as a board, and foo
ball players who have already used 1t
/ for practice pronounce the field the
best in the United States.
The stadium has been built entirely
of Portland cement, reinforced with
square twisted steel. According to
the estimate of the contractors 16. 900
tons of concrete will have been used
in the stadium when it has been COM
pleted, and it will contain ASP tons of
steel The structure and oval will
cover three and one-half acres of land.
