THE RAILROAD.

The surveys of the South
Plains railway are progressing
satisfactorily. Two lines have
already been surveyed, as far
south as Lubbock, and a third
is now being run which has
passed through Floyd county.
AS soon as the result of the
last survey is officially reported,
the Construction Company will,
we understand, open an office in
Amarillo, and be then prepared
to make a proposition to one or
all Of the lines surveyed.
1t will not take the property
owners on these routes long to
determine what they can do to
aid this great enterprise.
The policy of the company,
as to the amount of bonus re-
CURED has not been announced;
but we are informed that it will
not be in any degree burden
some, but that the advantages
of the road will many times ex-
coed the value of the bonuses
expected.
When people interested in Sc
curing a railway get together
as they will, turning out all to-
gether at the public meetings
to be called, 1t will not take
long for them to act. AS soon
as the bonuses are raised the
road will be rapidly built.
Major Gordon returned to
Amarillo yesterday from the
North and East, and Messrs.
Tallmadge, Stahlman, Buntin
and other officers and directors
of the Construction Company,
will reach here not later than
the 18th of October to take up
the work.-Amarillo Herald.

A SQUARE PROPOSITION?

At this time of the year, when
the business of the season opens
up with renewed activity, and
the time comes for preparing for
winter, the mails are full of
appeals from the mail order
houses and not a few of such
appeals as the following, bear
ing the name of a dealer in some
one of the numerous necessities
or luxuries of life, in a distant
commercial center:
"Our Mr.. Smith will be in
your city on or about Oct. /,
with a complete line of new
goods for the coming season,
we hope to have you favor US
with an order"
Right here in Canyon City are
to be obtained tailor-made
clothes, hats tor men and
women, shoes, the clothing tech
nically known as ready made,
household goods from rugs to
chandeliers, crude and finished
building material, all kinds of
high grade printing, market
delicacies, and SO on almost
through the list of necessities
and superfuities, in many in
stances fully a cheap and vast
" better than those offered by
mail order houses. The range
of selection is as extensive,
perhaps, and the articles as well
made, with the additional ad-
vantage of practically immedi-
ate delivery. Why not buy
them, then, from local concerns,
keep Canyon City money in
Canyon City and give the
industries established here a
chance to add to their plants
and increase their outfit?

foreign houses, to the neglect

Bridges Gone over cana.
dian River.


Great lrregularfty in the mail
and passenger traffic has been
caused here since Tuesday OF
last week on account of the
bridges that span the Canadian
River of the Denver, the ROCK
Island and the Southern Kansas
railroads having washed away.
The. losses of the railroads in
the washing away OF these
bridges will run into the tens of
thousands of dollars. The loss
es in the movement of freight
will also reach a stupendous
sum.
Monday the railroad bridge
over the Pecos River at CarlS.
bad was swept away as were
also the wagon bridges. The
cotton gin, and electric light
plant is also reported to have
gone.
Of the damage at Roswell, a
special to the Dallas News dated
Oct. 4, says:
Roswell today is a scene of
desolation. The food that
started Thursday night has re-
coded and the damage will be
over one hundred thousand dol
lars.
1T was impossible to get tele-
graphic communications in or
out. The electric light plant
was flooded and the city was in
darkness. Water was three feet
high over the main part of the
city and raj in streams through
residences and business houses.
at was reported Saturday
night that a sheet Of ten feet of
water would reach the city at
midnight and hundreds of peo-
pie fled to the hills at the south
and north end of town. The re-
port proved false.
"The Roswell Opera House
fell Saturday night at IL o'clock.
About fifteen business and resi-
dence houses have fallen. The
dixie that vas erected by the
city was washed out in ten min
utes after the flood struck the
banks of the Hondo on the south
side of Main street.
"Tbe Hondo reservoir, which
will be erected by the Govern
meut at a cost of $40, DOC, will
save the city from any more
floods.
"ThiS was the worst flood in
the history of the city.
"There have been no trains
either north or south since
Thursday. The railroad bridge
over the Pecos River has been
washed away north of Ros-
we'll"

!. RANDOM THOUGHTS.
G.. A. B.


~ .
Election day is drawing nigh
and a few pointers as to the re.
quirments under the present law
might be of interest to Randall
County voters. Take note of
the following:
If subject to payment of a poll
tax you must bring your poll
tax receipt with you when you
come to vote, or. if lost give an
account of it under oath.
Eight in the morning is the
time for opening the polls and
q p. N. is the time of closing.
If Judges of election appoint
ed by the Commissioners Court
tail or refuse to act the voters
present should, as under the
Old law, select others from
among themselves to serve as
such and hold the election.
No tickets or ballots can be
used except those furnished by
the Commissioners Court.
The law provides that the
presiding Judge shall write his
name on the back of each ballot
before he delivers them to the
voters, and when a voter applies
for a ticket, or ballot, the Judge
should hand him one ballot for
each political party to be voted
tor. The voter then selects the
ballot he desires to vote, and
after erasing all names that he
does not wish to vote for, he
folds his ballot with the name
of the Judge visible, and hands
it to the numbering Judge to be
numbered and deposited in the
ballot box. In like manner he
must fold all OF the other ballots
and hand them to a different
Judge to be deposited in ballot
box No 4. All voters have the
to erase, or scratch, any
name they may desire and to
write in the blank space on the
ballot the name of the candi.
date they wish to vote for, but
must use pen and ink or Il black
lead pencil. Do not use a red
or a blue pencil.
Citizens coming into Texas,
from any other State or Terri
tory, after the first day of Feb
-uary, 1908, and who shall on
he day of election have resided
n this State one year next pre-.
,eaing such election and six
months in Randall county, are
entitled to vote without exhibit
ny a poll tax receipt. Minors,
With proper residence qualif-
'ations, becoming 81 since Feb
st, 1908, are also not required
o have paid a poll tax.

equal excellence. If we are
really sincere in our enthusiasm
over the resources of this sec
ton and in our ambition for the
evolution of Canyon City, let us
begin right now and buy every,
thing possible in the home mar
ket, and cease sending to other
places the money which should
stay in Canyon City to double
itself in home investment. Such
a policy will do more to bring
this section the industries it
needs and Will abet more the
uncovering and exploitation of
our illimltable resources than
anything else within easy reach.
Here is a tair proposition:
Suppose that the individuals
or business men who ignore the
home products were accorded
similar treatment by the people
on whom they depend for a live
lihood: how much time would
elapse before the life-current of
the towns business stagnated:
Very we'll, then. The man
who buys the clothing he wears,
the building material, the gro
ceries and other necessities, and
the business mar who buys his
printing and other necessities
from distant centers when he
can get the value Of his money
here at home, is actingan unfair
and illogical part when he ex-
poets his customers not to pur.
sue a similar course.
We are always glad to wei.
the representatives of out
of-town firms, but what we in
sist on is that the purchasing
public, the consumer and the re-
give the local competitors
Of this class the preference when
the goods and the prices are
nearly evenly matched-practi-
all the time. This is not
or churlishness to-
ward firms from distant cities
seeking a market here, it is
legitimate self preserva-
ion, elf-development-sup-
porting and fostering the efforts

How He Quit Tobacco.

Most everybody has heard of
Johnny Wright and his Michigan
Lyre, but few there are who know
how Johnny vas cured of chewing
tobacco. 1t happened like this, as
Mr.. Wright tells it himself IN the
''story of his life:
"While at school | met a kindly
spirit that changed the whole cur
rent of my life. Her name was
Ann and | made her acquaintance
by shooting paper wadS at her
across the aisle. She was freck-
led and had a turned-up nose, but
somehow or other she won my
heart-and incidentally a garnet
ring. One day in conversation
with her | mentioned how curious
it is that toads have jewels in their
heads.
"'Oh, | don't know she re-
piled; 4 once got a ring out of a
goose and so blind is love that |
couldn't see what she meant.
"But at last the crisis came. |
met her one day, with my mouth
full of tobacco. She came upon me
50 suddenly that didn't have time
to spit, back water or turn around.
She was delighted to see me, she
said, and insisted on my walking
up to her house. Ny position was
an embarrassing one, but | nodded
my assent and walked along while
she tripped pleasantly by my side.
She never was more entertaining
and persisted in looking up into my
face and asking if | were sick.
"'N.n-no, but Pm afraid Pm 90.
going to be-, | finally sputtered, the
running out of both corners of
my mouth.
You're chewing tobacco she
shrieked, as she gave me a painful,
piercing look. Then we parted,
Ann and l., but let me draw the
curtain upon this sad scene. II
would not dim her memory by ac-
cusations of poor judgment and if
she did not give her heart to me
she at least prevented mine from
becoming a tobacco heart, for the
Incident cured me of the chewing
labit. "-Western Publisher.
