AMARILLO AND CANYON.

Amarillo is determined to be.
come great railroad center and
if human energy and get-up and
get-there prevails, and enough
Of it generally does, she will be
what she wants to be-the Fort
Worth Of the great Panhandle
country. Her recent achieve
ment in this direction is in Sc
curing the round house and
shops of the Choctaw Ry. This
calls for an Immediate outlay
by the railroad authorities of
between seventy-five and one
hundred thousand dollars, for
building purposes etc, besides
giving to Amarillo for an indef-
nate length of time lengthy
pay roll and in addition to all
this, makes our thriving neigh
Dor a division point. The News
is glad to see Amarillo grow in
this way. Why shouldn't we?
This bringing of Fort Worth to
our very doors, while filling the
cup Of our enterprising neigh
Dor S ambition, could not help
but be Of great assistance to
Canyon City also, The News is
Il great admirer of vim, even
though the other fellow has it,
and when this other fellow S cup
is full and his heart warns to
his less fortunately situated
neighbors the News adds CRATE
fulness to admiration. Truly,
Amarillo, has reason to feel
good for she is reaching the
goal of her ambitions-a great
railroad center. That she, in
reaping success for herself, feels
called upon to assist her nearby
friend, Canyon City, is shown
by the attitude of her excellent
newspapers, especially, the Star.
Bearing upon this point and
touching the location of the
Baptist College the Amarillo
Star of last week gives utterance
to the following:
"While in Canyon City last |
Saturday we found the citizens
were making strong efforts to
raise the necessary funds to Sc
cure the Baptist College to be
located somewhere in the Pan
handle. We would be glad to
see Canyon get the college as
she has a strong moral and re-
ligious element who would APP |
preciate and support denomi-
national school. L. ~. Lester,
the we'll known cowman and |
banker, heads the list with one
thousand dollars and numbers !
of Others will give five hundred
each, no names being down for
less than two hundred and fifty |
so far. From what we can learn
the Amarillo people will not
make any very strong effort to
secure it's location here, there
fore we feel we are not doing |
her an injustice in advocating
the merits of another town"
From other sources also, the |
News, now, has every reason to !
believe, that Amarillo is willing |
that Canyon get the college.

Mr.. Hermann says sentiment is over
whemingly against the reserve; that
there is no necessity for such reserve,
and it's creation would be utterly unj JUS
tifable. He insists the people should
not only be heard, but their demands
needed. If necessary, he believes that
Congressional action should be had.
In tact, he goes so far US to declare
that hereafter no new reserve should be
created except by act of Congress.
"Who should know more about condi
tons in Southwestern Oregon, Mr..
Langille, who was there only few
days, or myself. the Senators and the
hosts of honorable citizens who have
lived in that region for 40 years or
more?" he asks. "The plastering of
the state with extensive Withdrawals is
detrimental to the development of the
state, and IS turning away many men
who seek homes, bat cannot find them.
In my opinion, there has been an abu e
of the privileges bestowed on the In
terror Department, and the state is the
sufferer"
Mr.. Hermann attributes the excesses
to the influence eXerted bv the "narrow
minded theorists" who look only on
one side of the question.

How The Maine Was Sunk.

A small Item in London paper caused
my correspondent to look up one Cap
tain Anderson of Penzance. the place
made famous by Gilbert and Sullivan
Anderson's business is that of raising
ships, and it was he who inspected the
Maine after she had been sunk in Ha-
vana harbor and gave report on her
condition to President Mckinley. He
says that when he boarded the destroyed
battleship he found scene of haunting
horror. His observations showed that
the Maine had not been blown up by a
torpedo, but by submarine mine. cit
is my opinion" says Captain Anderson,
"tbat the boat was piloted in by the
Spanish authorities and placed directly
above the mine"
When Captain Anderson presented

grave and asked him if he felt sure that
he was correct, adding that verv much

AT HEAD OF LIST.
Quality of Oregon Wool Is Not
Surpassed.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Whie not the
greatest wool growing state in the Union
Oregon stands at the head of the list in
the quality of it's wool product, and with
Nevada and Texas, is furnishing wool
worth more per pound than that of any
other states.
The Department of Agriculture has
Just published an official statement of
the wool production in the United States
for 1902. This statement shows the
value of secured wool in the various
states on October l, 1902. at which time
Oregon, Nevada and Texas wool was
quoted at an even so cents a pound, or
three cents above the price obtained in
the next ranking states. The value of
the Oregon wool clips for 1902 is set
down at 50 $780, 900, which is less than
the value of the output of Montana.
New Mexico, Wyoming, Idaho. Utah
and Ohio, but the same statement shows
that each of thesesstates had a greater
number of sheep on their ranges tina
were found last year in Oregon. The
Oregon sheep numbered an even 2,OOO,-
0)0, while in some of the other states, |
the number exceeded OOO,OOO.
In one respect Oregon sheep stand |
with those of Washington, ahead of all |
others in the country. The average
weight per fleece is greater than else
where, being eight and half pounds.
The nearest approach to this is seven

Pacific Coast Surveys Urged.

SOuSt cus
Washington, Nov. 5.-Rear- Admira
R R. Bradford, Chief of the Bureau o
Equipment of the Navy Department, ir
his annual report to Secretary Moody
draws attention to the inefficiency o
the coal depots in foreign waters fol
naval use, but because of the publicity
given to the report the matter is not
discussed owing to diplomatic consd
erations. 1t is stated, however, that no
progress has been made during the last
year toward increasing the number of
stations.
In connection with the subject of ma
val coal depots two maps of the world
are submitted, the first showing the
coal depots built, building or projected
by the United States and the second
giving similar Information concerning
Great Britain. Rear-Adnliral Bradford
directs attention to the maps, and con-
cludes: "a comparison of the two is
instructive"
Comment is made on the great i'm
portance of photographic surveys in the
Pacific Ocean in order that the large
number of imperfectv known dangers
to navigation may be definitely located
or if non-existing erased from the
charts.
Admiral Bradford devotes one of the
longest chapters of his report to an ear
nest defense of the integrity of the
bureau, the existence of
which he declares is threatened by the
lggressiveness of other bureaus.
On the subject of an organization of
ca going officers of superior rank to
dvise the Secretary of the Navy on
professional matters which had been
dvocated for number o. years, Rear
dmiral Bradford says it is not material
y what name the organization is
nown, but suggests that the desgna.
on Admiralty STAFF seems appro-
rate. He says that it should not be
} large as to be unwieldy and that
robably five men with a corps of as
stants would be sufficient, and that it's :
lties should be clearly defined and ad.
sorry only. The bureau recommends :
lch body be created and named by
,ecutive authority. y
Admiral Bradford says after an ex
,rience OF six years in the department
, believes it is the administration of
g department that needs attention,
ther than its organization, particularly
the direction of the expenditure of ~
oney and IN confning the suhordin- q
es Of the department TO their legiti-
ate duties.
