CAPT. STEELE'S OBJECT.

AS advertised, Friday morn
ing OF last week, Capt. Steele,
in company with Avery Turner
and Don A. Sweet of Amarillo,
managers of the Pecos Valley
lines, visited our town tor the
purposes set out in last week S
News.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the board of trustees OF the
Baptist College was in session
and a protracted meeting going
on at the Baptist church a very
fair sized crowd assembled at
tbe court house to hear Capt.
Steele on his plan of bringing
settlers from the north and east
10 assist us in building up the
Plains country. He made a
straight forward, practical BUS
mess talk, informing his hear
ers that he wanted facts con-
corning this Countrywide ex-
perience of our stockmen and
farmers-to lay before the PEG
pie of the north and east VINO
contemplated moving to better
their conditions. He stated
that he was in correspondence
with and had on the books OF
the agency over one hundred
thousand names OF men whom
he thought could be induced to
settle in the southwest; that the
illustrated paper published oy
his agency was semitic each Que
of them at the expense OF the
railway companies that he rep
resented. He wanted our PEG
pie, especially the stochmen
and farmers, those who mao
been here the longest PREFERRED
n write him their experiences
tell where they came from
how much they bad when they
arrived here, what they had
followed during their residence
on the plains and how they
stood with the world at the
present day. These experiences
he said he would place before
the northeastern people and
that he was positive such in
formation as could be had here
would bring many very desira-
ale settlers to this country.
In short, the plan offered by
the railroads, through Capt.
Steele, is an excellent one; 1t
could hardly be improved upon;
II IS offered to US free Of cost; it
is an opportunity that every
one OF our citizens who feels an
interest in our town and county
should take hold of without de
Law. To do this you are only
serving your own interests-to
build up the town and county,
builds you up--then take hold
and take hold NOW.

AMARILLO TO PLAINVIEW.

The News has heard many
rumors about the construction
of a railroad from Amarillo to
Plainview. 1t had information
of the visit of Major Gordon, a
noted railroad promoter, to
Plainview last week; of the
mass meetings of citizens held
there to hear Major Gordon and
other gentlemen make or sug
gest plans for speedy con-
struCtion of "that' railroads;
it sought persons who were in
terested and in position to
know, seeking the facts about
il, but they only looked wise
and were mum Then, The
News felt sure, that the Plain
view papers would tell the tale,
but they didn't. The Press
failed to put in its appearance
at all--on a vacation it is pre-
sumed-and the Herald, well,
the Herald, it went on to tell
/ the story but left the kernel out
of the nut entirely. The esteem
ed Herald suggested, merely
suggested A proposition from
Major Gordon and strongly in
mated that it was rather high
in price, but wholly failed, even
between the lines, to inform an
anxious public as to what the
nature of that proposition was.
Experience has Taught The
News that this is bad policy.
If you have straight PROPOSE
ton to bring before the public
and you desire it to succeed it
always pays to take the news
paper man into your confidence.
Of what use is it any way to cut
him off or close his mouth when
a meeting is open? You can't
hide the trutb--.it will out
somebody will tell it and is it
not far better to have Il friend
speak of it than a possible enc.
my? Now our people are inter
ested in this proposed road i;
they desire to know what is be-
ing done about it: not that they
! oppose it, for such is not the
case, but they are curious, very
curious, to know all about it.
This, of course, is but natural,
and The News last week wanted
| to CRAFTY them in this res pect
but alas. PlainView was "mum,"
not citizen would tell the sto-
ny and her newspapers spoke
in riddles. This being the stu
alton The News summed up the
matter by stating that "Plain'
view with the possible assist.
ance of Amarillo" must 60 it
alone. How near we came to
the truth can be seen from the
following statement of facts
taken from the Hale Center
Messenger;
"The articles Of confederation
are substantially this: For $4,000
per mile cash, 100000 acres of
land and right of way and depot
grounds, the Pash-Gordon snydi-
cate guarantee to build railroad
from somewhere to Plainvlew at
once, inside of two years. The
above bonus represents something
like $4,000. If Major Gordon
had not told about once being op'
posed by two newspaper men, and
how one OF them relented and SAID

HEAD A D WEAPON
So Declared by a West VirSinfa
Judge in n Case of Assault
and Battery.

According to a ruling in the circuit
court at WEIGH, Mcdowell county, w.
Va, a Negroes head is considered "a
dangerous and deadlrweapon," says 6
report from that section. Frank Mar
tin brought suit for $4,000 against
James Knox, a prominent attorney at
WEIGH, for damages sustained by being
pounded with a pair of steel knucks.
Martin is a colored man and has a head
of abnormal proportions. The testi-
mony in the case was that Martin be-
came incensed at the attorney, while
the latter was in his place of business.
and that the negro bowed low and
started to "butt" the attorney out of
his shop.
The attorney swore on the stand that
he regarded the negro's head as "a dan
gerous and deadly weapon" and that
to defend himself and probably ave his
life he dealt him a few blows with steel
knucks. Evidence was adduced which
went to show that Martin had at differ
ent times "butted" people out of his
shop. The judge gave a verdict in
favor of the defendant, ruling that un-
der the, circumstances he regarded the
negroes head as Dangerous and'dead-
ly weapon and that the attorney act

stray Irish terrier which strolled into
Marlborough house not long ago,
adoptedth the king without leave II cere-
mony, took charge Of his majesty
forthwith and has helped to run the
empire Y e since.
It can be said without exaggeration
that no one item of the business OF

THE AZTEC
Curious Relic In the City of Mexico
That Was Carved over Four
Centuries Ago..

One of the curiosities of all ages is
built in the wall of the cathedral in
the City of Mexico. 1t is the Aztec
calendar, carved in 1912. While being
carted to it's destination 1t broke down
a bridge and fell to- the bottom of the
lake in which the city was built, kill
ing priests and people. With great
difficulty it was raised out of the wa
ter. With other objects of heather
worship it was afterward buried in the
marsh, as the best way to get rid of it,
and there it lay hidden fer two cen-
turtles. In 1890 the Spanish viceroy al
lowed it to be built into the cathedral
on condition that it should be pre-
served and exposed always in a public
place. 1t is now. however, held as the
property of the National museum, says
the New York Press.
The Aztec calendar is a solid piece of
stone, IL feet in diameter. 1t divides
time into cycles, years and days. Fifty
two years constitute a cycle; the year
365 days. with five in~tercalary days
wholly devoted to human sacrifices.
Each year had IS months of 20 days
each, and each month four weeks of
five days each. The days had such
names as Sea Animal, Small Bird,
Monkey, Rain, ETC., and each of the 20
days had a different name. The points
of the compass were named Reed,
House, Flint and Rabbit, instead of
east, west, north and south. When an
Aztec said: 81 am going House on Sea
Animal" he meant that he was start
ing west OF Monday. The month of
March was called VictimsrFlayed Alive,
while July's title was Garlands of Corn
on the necks of Idols.
