WINTER PROSPECTS.

A special correspondent to the
Dallas News, of recent issue, in
speaking of Panhandle conditions,
its present and future outlook
quotes an interview with J. H.
Fleming, a prominent ranchman,
whose headquarters are in ANA
rillo. as follows:
ave have passed through it and
we are now in good shape and from
this time on for the remainder Of
the season the cattle in the Pan
handle district are going to be in
fine condition. But everything is
late, and for this reason the ship
ments of grass cattle from that part
Of the State will be late. 1t was
very dry all winter and spring and
We had very little grass up to the

we'll known to most citizens Of
the county, having been a resi-
dent within its borders for d
number of years. He has al,
ways had an inclination for the

been on the Plains has followed
it in its many lines, having until
recently been employed by Kan.

Ticks and Other Varmints.

Reisel Rustler' No ticks or
red bugs on the picnic grounds
at Reisel. Therefore, come and
attend the big barbecue.
That's indeed going just lit
tie far. No patriotic citizen will
blame any man, particularly
any newspaper man, Tor present
ing his neigh borhood or locality
as all that people could desire,
but there is d line of eXaggera-
ton which is discouraged.
When a man says that in the
glad summer time there is any
spot in all the land in which
there are no ticks, redbugs or
mosquitoes he simply holds out
delight in the way OF a country
which can not be realized. 1t
there are no ticks or redbuss on

are even redbugs and ticks on
small lakes in Texas. They
swim them.-Dallas News.

he has not been upon the Plains

We would remind him that
above the quarantine line no
such pests are known, no. not

been in the infected district for

ISt of June, and so the cattle got
a late start and shipments will be
correspondingIy late. The severe
drouth this spring also had a bad
effect on the calf crop, which is
perhaps not over half crop on an
average. This will have a tenden-
cy to cut down the number Of stock
cattle all over the district this fall
and winter. This, and heavy ship
mentS of StockerS from that district
last fall, have greatly reduced the
number of cattle there, making the
total average of cattle in the district
less than usual.
"But all over the country there
is an increased acreage OF rough
feed in this year. This includes
kaftlr corn, milo maize, cane and
other feeds, which are doing well,
and which will make aheavy yield.
This feed was planted rather late
owing to the dry weather, but the
season has been very favorable
and it is making good progress and
the stockmen will be well provided
next winter with rough feed. The
pasture on the range is also very
good and stock are all doing well
now"
The conditions ascribed to the
Amarillo country by Mr.. Fleming
also apply with equal force to Prac-
tically all the Plains country. Some
few portions of the range have not
had the full amount of rain requir-
ed, but take the country in its en-
tirety and matters are in very
satisfactory shape, with the best
prospects for winter that have pre-
vailed in a number of years. The
rains have come early enough this
year to insure an abundance of fine
ly matured grass before frost. When
there is plenty of grass on the win
ter range the loss OF stock is al
ways light.

The News calls attention to
the fact that its announce ment
column this week contains
the name of j. T. Parks,
who aspires to the position OF
COMMISSIONS and Justice of the
Peace of precinct Randall
County. Mr.. Parks has been a
resident of the town for a long
time and through the courtesy
which he has dispensed to all
patrons of the Jim" Parks bar
Der shop has become so well
known among the voters OF the
county that any comment from
the News as to his ability to
faithfully and efficiently perform
the duties of the two offices,
should he be elected, would be
superflous. Mr.. Parks says he
has submitted his name only at
the urgent request of many of
his friends and that if he can't
run the race on his own merits,
he is willing for The next best

OUR RAILROAD PROBLEM.

The surveyors on the propos-
ed road South are still at work
and the chances are that they
will be for some little time to
come.
AS stated by the News in pre-.
vious issues ii Is yet matter of
speculation as to what point
on the Pecos Valley the road
will start from. But leaving
out all side issues for the pres
ent, and for the sake of argu-
ment taking the ground that it
will go from Canyon City, the
question arises how Will it affect
us?
In discussing it from this
standpoint the News will deal
with the present, not futures.
Will it help the town in a bust
ness sense, now? If so we can
afford to pay something for it;
if not, we can't. This is bust
ness proposition aud should be
met as such.
Now, it must be clear to all
that with arailroad gong South
from here or hereabouts that
Canyon City will lose the bulk
of her present South Plains
trade if not all of it. To Offset
this it is urged that Randall
county will settle up and that
the gain in this direction will
balance the loss in the other.
Conceding this much it only
shows an evening of accounts
and on the whole leaves the
town no better off financially.
The fact is Canyon City has a
good deal to lose and the offset
is almost a future and therefore
somewhat doubtful Of course.
This conclusion is based on the
hypothesis that the road merely
crosses the tracks here with
headquarters either at Amarillo
or at its southern terminal.
With headquarters here
shops, etc, the matter would
be altogether ditferent-another
rule would apply--and Canyon
City could reasonably be ex-
pected to put up and she would
do so beyond doubt.
Our people realize that sooner
or later this road will go South
and when it does go they want
it to pass through this town.
Canyon City is by no means un.
friendly to the present move
ment, as some people charge,
but has always been and is now
ready and willing to pay for all
she gets and do equity in all
other respects when the time

A Man With a Record.

Hon. Fred M. Warnor, who heads
the republican state icket, is selected
as the especial target of the enemies
of the party in this campaign, and
they are seeking by every means 10
create the impression that he is I'M
worthy Of the high trust for which he
has been named. Two years ago Mr.
Warner was on the ticket as nominee
for secretary Of State, and there was
perhaps no other name on that ticket
SO generally conceded TO be unassail-
able in its popularity. 1t was every
where said that he was The ideal cam
ddate, for whom the full party vote
should be polled, and the result proved
that true. Now what, we might ask
has occurred since to justify differ
ent estimate? Mr.. Warner was elec-
ted by one Of the highest majorities
recorded, and the record Of his admin
iStratiOn for two years is open to any
who would assai it. Has it been as
sailed? No. Has any corrLptson, any
dereiction, any lincapacity. any fault
whatever been found in his conduct
Of the secretary's Office? Monochrome
whatever He has gone about his
duties modestly, faithfully, intelli-
gently, efficiently, and has given the
state an administration Of merit never
surpassed in that Office. 1t Is not
pretended 10 convict him OF any fault
as q servant OF the state, and his de-
tractors cannot deny that he has given
his time and his talents to the public
service, and has nowhere betrayed the
public interest nor in any manner
compr missed the good name Of the
state or Of the party that chose him.
But. they say, he would do so as goy-
ernor, and they bring forward the
nonSenSical and meaningless allega-
tiOn that he is creature Of ''the
machine" and would be- a puppet in
the hands Of INSCRIPTIONS bosses
just as the very same papers that are
saying this used to caricature McKin-
ley as a contemplate puppet in the
hands Of horrible ogre labeled Mark
Hanna. They asserted that Mr.. War
ner is in some way IN )rtgaged and will
he controlled by some such EVIL inHu-
ences, as they continually dec a"ed
that Mckinney WAS. They show no
evidence, If course, Of any pledge or
obligation from him, and Mr. Warner
for himself has earnestly declared his
absolute freedom from any obligatlt n
or implication whatever affect ng his
official action, other than those in the
platform upon which she WIS romin-
atcd. The voters will judge wi ether
the man who naS a record so clean and
honorable in the public positions he
has filed, is likely to show himself II
d iferent kind Of a man when the more
serious responsibility Of the chief ex-
ecutive is laid upon him.
