: Notes For StOCkmen. 9

There seems to be a general
disposition among the big ranch
owners in the Panhandle coun.
try to quit breeding and go into
steer and beef raising exclusive
ly. With this end in view the
spaying of she stock is going on
among the large cattle owners.
An exchange remarks that on
the Spur ranch alone $500 heif
ers will be spayed this spring.
Many reasons are offered for
this way of curtailing produc.
ton, but chief among them in
the opinion of the News, is that
higher priced land calls for
higher price cattle. This does
uot necessarily mean better
grade of stuff. but cattle that
are better protected, better fed
and it follows as matter of
course, better cared for. Among
it's bearings for the future are
better prices for the small men
orstock farmers, who are almost
without exception breeders.
According to an exchange,
what is known at Midland, as
the Hereford trail, is to be clos
ed to all cattle west of Midland,
only those whose nearest ship
ping point is Hereford being al
lowed to pass through the Spade
and S pastures. This trail goes
some thirty-eight miles through
the Spade pasture and the own
ers say that those who are near.
er Portales and other shipping
points must go there.

that there will yet be some scat

yet, there is some fruit wheat

Western Advocate.
Iu conversation with a real es-
tate man the other day, he re
marked that they had 100000
acres of land lying near Amaril.
10, but they could not sell in less
than 10-section lots. Room on
this land for 200 stock farmers,
yet, the very class of settlers
we need are prohibited from
buying land anywhere near
Amarillo. A town, to maintain
its trade, to have a solid and
abiding future, must be based
on population, a people that
have homes, or, at least, have
employment. Next to a railroad
into the territory south, Amaril-
10 needs settlers. There can be
no permanent prosperity for a
town unless the country is set
tied.
In regard to the land, above
referred to, could not a company
of our business men, bankers,
and others, who to get the al.
mighty dollar. know that it is
absolutely necessary to get peo-
pie, could not such company
be organized, buy this land, or
such part as is needed for imme-
diate use and place it on the
market in lots of $50 acres and
up?
While everything is on a boom,
you may not see the utility of
doing this; but the time will
come when you will sadly real.
ize that it was a wise policy.
Better investigate this. It's
nothing to us. We can move.
We are like the leopard, which
it is said cannot change his
spots. But he can. If he don't
like one spot, he can move to
another, so can we.

L. G. Wilson spent few days
in our city, returning to Canyon
Monday. He urged our people
to move for railroad, and ad-
vised them to at once get up a
subscription, see how much
\money could be raised for a
bonus aud right t-of.way to the
first railroad that would enter
Plainview. Acting under this
suggestion a call signed by
quite a large number of citizens,
was made to the people urging
them to meet at the court house
in Plainview, at3 o'clock Satur-
day evening, to take measure to
find out how much our people
will give for railroad. BY
taking the proper course we
have a chance to secure road
but we are dead sure to pay for
it if we get it. Let us have it.
Let US cough up for it.

What will doubtless prove to
be the greatest discovery of mod
ern times has been made by Mr.
Joe Smith on his place in the
Sandy Canyon community, in
Cara county. Mr.. Smith was
drilling we'll, and at depth
of a hundred or more feet he
struck vein of what has proven
to be intoxicating water. Since
his discovery, reports are to the
effect that Mr.. Smith has had to
open up a boarding house for
the accommodation of his neigh

WANT TO PREVENT CARTER

! Knudsen, that the amendment was not
in order since the item was not in
! the bill.
Paele supported the proposed reduc-
tion because there was no law author
izing the commissioner to go to Wash
ington. They had Delegate to Con-
ress to look after the Territory's
interests. 1t was throng Boyd s
forts at Washington that the petition
of natives and others to have lands
devoted to homesteads was defeated.
Kaniho said the House by majority
vote on second reading had struck out
the bill because the commissioner was
sent by the Executive Council to work
over the head of the Delegate. He
had prevented the division of land
among the people in 40 and so acre
homesteads. AS a member of the
Legislature of 1901, Kaniho recalled
the fact that no appropriation was
made for any such a mission to Wash
ington. Outside of the House ne had
been regarded as partial to his race
because he voted to maintain Treas
urer Kepoikais salary against reduc-
tion, but now he was opposing this
proposed vote to money to native
official because it was contrary to law.
Yesterday the pay of guards on Molo-
kai was refused on the same princi
pie. In 1901 they appointed the pres
ent Speaker of the House to meet
President Mckinley on the mainland,
but instead of appropriating public
money for his expenses they paid
them out of their own pockets. The
Executive Council had no authority for
sending Boyd to Washington and no
benefit had resulted from his trip.
Were they there to ratify the illegal
acts of the Executive Council? They
were not there to nod assent to the
doings of the Executive Council like
Chinese, but to protect the rights of
the people. The Commissioner knew
the law, but chose to break it at com
mand of the Council. A message had
just been sent to him asking him to
support this item. but if he stood
alone he should vote against it because
it was contrary to law.
Lewis endeavored to show benefits
that accrued from Boyd's trip, the first
being the retention of 800 900 in the
treasury which otherwise would have
been sent to the mainland. Vida ask
ed him if the calling Of tow or three
men into a room to bid privately on 20
or 80 lots in Lualualei was part of
the benefits. The speaker went on
to say that lands were available for
those who took the trouble to ask for
them in the right way. He and others
did not have any difficulty. The great
trouble was lack of roads to home
stead lands.
After remarks by Gandall in support
of the item, the motion to insert it
carried by the following vote:

FRIENDS OF YOUTH
HOLD A MEETING

The last monthly meeting of the
Free kindergarten and Children's Aid
Association before the vacation was
held yesterday at the rooms of the Y.
w. c. A., Mrs. c. NJ. Hyde the presi-
dent presiding After the opening
prayer and the secretary's report the
treasurer reported as follows: Receiv-
ed $l477.60 disbursed $799.75, on hand
in the Savings Bank $S5O.OO and in
cash $S27.S5. Mrs. S. NJ. Damon, chair
man of the Ways and Means commit
tee, reported several generous dona-
tions during the month from visitors
and also from the plays given at the
Schaefer home. There is no form of
charitable work which is done in these
Islands that appeals more to the hearts
of the people at home and tourists than
this beautiful work among the chill
dren of all nationalities who play in
our streets.
The reports from each school were
then given. Chicken poX has been
prevalent in some of the schools and
lessened the attendance during the
past month There have also been
some cases of the dengue and whoop-
ing cough. a very successful Mothers
meeting was held at the Kawaiahao
kindergarten at which thirty mothers
We're present. They We're Portuguese,
Hawaiian and japanese. Mrs. Thomp-
son gave them very valuable talk on
the care of children which was fully
understood and appreciated by most
of the women present.
The secretary was instructed to send
a hearty vote of thanks to Capt. Ber-
ger and the band for the concerts Civ
en- the children of kindergartens. Moth
ing during the year is more enjoyed
by the children than these band con-
certs. A letter of thanks was also sent
to Miss Cross of the Castle Kindergar-
ten for her intruction in physical cul-
ture to the kindergarten assistants,
The directors and assistants of the
kindergartens give an entertainment TO
the patrons of the Association this
evening in the Kawaiahao Kindergar-
ten. A pleasant time is anticipated.
| There was no report from the Ways
and Means Committee of the Castle
Home but the treasurer reported great
shortage of funds. There is not suffi-
cient money to meet the expenses OF
| the coming month.
This fact should appeal to the COM
munity for the Castle Home is doing
for unfortunate children what Christ
ian homes are doing for their fortu-
nate brothers and sisters, training
| them up TO be good and useful citizens
of this territory, Requisite funds
should not be lacking for this worthy
institution. Two new children were
admitted to the Home.
The Free Kindergarten and Chill
dren's Aid Association was called up
on at this meeting to accept the resig-
nation of its president, Mrs. C. NJ.
Hyde, who has held the office since the
