After dinner the balloting be
gan, resulting, on the eighth
ballot in the choice of Canyon
City. Canyon City is an ideal
spot for this college and with
the liberal bonus of the town
$4,000 and $4,000 given by
l.. II. Lester, of Canyon City,
there is no reason why the col
lege shall not be success.
OF course it was understood
from the first that ALL the
towns could not get the college,
and we think there is a spirit of
fairness among the losers in the
contest that will impel them to
substantially support Lester
College" at Canyon City. Never
in our lives have we seen d
greater manifestation of de.
sire on the part of men to do
the right thing. No institution
of learning has ever started out

with brighter prospects of sue
cess, but it can only be made
successful by united effort of
ALL the people of the Panhan-
die.
Do not "sulk in your tents"
because you failed to get the
prize, but put aside personal
feeling in the matter aud let 5
make Lester College one of the
great institutions of learning
for which Texas is becoming
famous.

AMONG OUR NE|CHBORS.
What They Say About The Location of The Baptist
College and Concerning the Reunion.

was located at Canyon City.
Why Canyon was the lucky
contestant is a question none
seem able to answer. The bids
of both Amarillo and Hereford
were larger than that of Can
yon and were in equally as good
shape. Canyons bid was $780,
900 and campus, and $3.50 and
campus on the condition that the
College cost $40, 600, while
Hereford's guaranteed cash
proposition with campus was
S22, 900 unconditional, while
Amarillo's was equally as much
as Hereford'S or more.
Though it is alleged that the
committee became excited over
Canyons proposition because
IS, 900 of their bid was given by
one man just at the last mo-
ment and so voted in a moment
of enthusiasm, it is thing of
the past and though we failed
our sister city, which was our
second choice, won and we eX-
tend hearty congratulations,
wishing that she may grow un-
til she can claim as many peo-
pie as Hereford and as moral,
that the "tiger" they "fess.up"
to having may be annihilated
by the time the college opens
for its first session.
