WHITAKER WRlGnT'S

HEREFORD HAS IT Bad.

"For the past twelve months
there has been much said and
little done concerning the
construction of a rail
road to the south plains
country. Amarillo has been
basking in silent contentment
in her belief that the road, when
built, would lead out from there
and occasionally, Canyon City
would bubble up with shadows
of hopes which would soon die
away. Hereford has remained
quiet for the simple reason that
her most vigilant and far-seeing
citizens did not think the time
had come for the road to be
built, but thought best. to re-
serve their energies till the time
when their expenditure would
be of some avail. Believing
that that time has arrived, there
is now a unit of action on the
part OF our citizens to secure
the road and to that end they
have begun work with the firm
belief that they will not have
to wait long till success will be
theirs.
"To those who have not ser
iously considered the matter,
we wish to say that Hereford is
the only feasible point from
which the road could start. Our
reason tor believing this is that
the road, if built, will eventual
ly become.a Santa Fe property
and since this company already
has an outlet to the north from
Amarillo and there being No
outlet in any other direction
from that town, since the terri
tory is already occupied BY
other roads, they would be com

and make that the terminu:

under consideration the con
