COL. HOWARD.

This gentleman on Monday night
at the court house spoke to a fair
sized audience in the interest OF
his candidacy for representative Of
this district. He talked for over an
hour in an entertaining business
like manner covering not only the
state but large and interesting
portion of the national field
of politics.. The News has
neither the inclination nor space to
follow Col. Howard all the way
through his discourse and must con-
fine itself to brief statement of
some of his leading points. On
these points he declared in SUBJ
stance as follows:
That he was not a candidate in
the sense OF seeking this or any
other office but was merely answer.
ing "a call of duty"-that CHS
people" wanted him and he felt
bound to serve them. That he
was farmer and stockman and so
were most of the people of this
representative district and that he
thought they should be represented
at Austin by one of their Town
kind" rather than by some "2X4
lawyer. That if sent as repre-
sentative to Austin he would not
ego all the gaitS" as did Hon. w.
B. Ware, but would return home
with clean private aswell as pub
lie record.
Some of the planks in Col. How
ards platform have already been
enacted into laws which for the
time being do we'll enough and had
better not be tinkered with further,
and still others, 'while Eevils to be
dealt with, cannot well be reached
by State legislation, but the News
will leave a further discussion of
all these matters to those material
Iy concerned-namely, Col. How
ard and his opponent Hon. W. B.
Ware.
However, while differing widely
with Col. Howard on much of his
proposed remedial legislation, yet,

Reports received here tel

Reports received here tell OF
splendid rains in almost all portions
Of the range country during the last
week, and the most gratifying feat
ure OF the situation is that a portion
OF the country where there has
been practically no rain since early
last fall is in the district that has
been favored. This is especially
true of considerable portion of the
Pecos and Panhandle country,
where conditions have been exceed
ingly unfavorable and ranchmen
have been very blue over the con-
ditions that have been prevailing.
The assertion is publicly made that
every drop of rain that.has fallen
in the range country has added ap-
probably to the value of the cattle,
and It's expected that the demand
will soon show a very satisfactory
improvement. 1t is getting late in
the season, however, and the gen.
eral impression is that the bulk of
the trading done this year will be
local, with perhaps something
of a demand for feeders to 60 to the
corn.beef states. That feature of
the situation depends to very
material extent on the corn crop
this year in those states, and the re-
port is that it is very encouraging at
this time.

Our Next Reunion.

The proper authorities have
fixed the time for our next grand
Reunion of Ex-Confederate
Veterans as beginning July 26.
This is month earlier than
expected by most of US but 1t is
now generally conceded that
this will be far the better date
if we expect to draw large at
tendance from back east.
One OF the reasons assigned for
this is that our eastern brethren
have planted their cotton early
this season on account of the
boil weevil and month later
on expect to be 10 the midst of
the picking.
Elsewhere will be found the
call OF the present Reunion
chairman requesting meeting
of all citizens at the court house
for the purpose of making the
necessary arrangements to
bring about one of the very best
Reunions Canyon City ever had.

IRRIGATION IN PANHANDLE
Ample Supply of Water Can
be Had Near the Surface.

A special communication to the
Dallas News dated Hereford, Tex,
as, May 2o, has the following tC
say regarding irrigation in the Pan
handle and of an irrigation com.
pany that has just recently been
organized in Deaf Smith county:
"In this county, Deaf Smith,
and Randall, Castro, Hale, Swisher
and Lubbock there is large area,
comprising thousands of sections,
upon which an inexhaustible sup
ply of pure freestone water is al
ways obtainable by digging from
twenty to fifty feet. The supply
of water has been tested in many
places and found to be inexhauSti-
bic. A tWelve-horSepoWer engine
pumping a four-inch stream and
running constantly forty-eight hours
will not lower the water one inch
in a bored we'll six inches in dame
ter. Hence it is estimated that a
gasoline or compressed air engine
of fifteen or ighteen-h horsepower
will, at a nominal cost, bring up a
six-inch stream of water constant
ly, if required. This water can be
stored in ground reservoirs and used
for irrigating purposes. 1t has
been demonstrated for many years,
on a small scale, that when water
was properly applied to this soil
the exuberance of produce was I'M
surpassed by any country. Seasons
here are late, and at about the wan
ing of the berry crops in the south
ern portion of the State, this sec
ton comes in full blast. Many peo-
pie here have been irrigating small
patches and gardens by use of wind
mills. There is scarcely a berry
or vegetable known that is not pro-
duced here, and in size, flavor and
quantity, this section compares fav-
orably with any.
A land and irrigation company
was organized here this week with
a capital stock Of $4,000, and a
charter has been applied for. John
E. Ferguson, president of the Here
ford National Bank, was elected
j. S, Dodson, of Tenn
essee, secretary; II. J. Graves, of
Waxahachie, Tex, vice president;
G.. w. Dodson, of Waco, treasurer.
Other business men of Hereford
were elected directors.
The company will establish a
number of irrigation farms in Va
fious parts Of the country and raise !

these crops has been thoroughly
tested on a small scale for many
years and found to be certain and
sure success.
1t is claimed that an eighteen
horsepower compressed air engine
will draw water sufficient to irrigate
100 acres by using ground storage
tanks to store the water in.

SETTING THE CLOCK FAST

A Pleasant Sort of Deception Com
mon to Many People.
1t Is a common thing to find the
clocks in nine out of ten, households
either fifteen minutes or half an hour
fast, and should you happen to be in a
hurry or mention the fact that you
have to be going you are at once reas-
sured by the fact that you have no
cause to hurry, as the clock is so much
ahead of the time
Has it ever occurred to you why
clocks are usually put ahead? Some
physicians have said it Is due to lazi-
ness, for it is such satisfaction to the
lazy man to find when he has to get
up at in the morning and strains his
half closed eyes to look at the clock
, that it is half an hour fast and he has
SO much more time to dOZe, with the
result that he oversleeps himself any
how and misses his train or boat.
Said matchmaker when asked
about the subject: 3
Yes, it is a peculiar thing with most
people to put their clocks fast, and
| while there may be some satisfaction
| in it when it comes to doing a little
longer, there is really no advantage II
| 1t, for when you wake up, say, at 6 and
glance at the clock and it registers hall
past 6, the fact remains that it Is s
lhalf hour fast While this may make
you feel easier, knowing that you still
have thirty minutes to doze. confess

"Why not have the clock right? 1t i
the same thing in the end.
Suppose railroads were to put thi

HOSTING ROPES.
The Threads of Wire Upon which
So Many Lives Daily Depend.

So Many Lives Daily Depend.
While the longest ropes are used for
hauling purposes, some of the most in.
teresting data in connection with wire
ropes are obtained with their use for
hosting purposes. Hundreds of thou
sands of lives are literally each day
hung by small wire thread as the
men are lowered into and hoisted from
the bowels of the earth, and in many
eases the only means of communication
between the surface and the under
ground workings, which are from a
few feet to mile in depth, is by a
comparatively small hoisting rope.
Think Of hanging from the end of ca
BILE only few inches in diameter and
mile long, being hoisted at rate
which is faster than that of the aver
age railroad train and some idea of the
hoisting problem can be gained. To
the honor of the wire rope manufactur-
ers it must be said that very few shaft
accidents are due to the breaking Of
| the rope, excepting where the cage Is
/ overwound and unwarranted demands
are made upon the rope or which are
traceable to false economy on the part
Of the users of wire rope. No part of
a mining plant is more carefully in
spected and watched than the hoisting
rope, and very few mine managers will
| take any unnecessary risks III the
hosting of men. The skill of the wire
rope maker is taxed to the utmost to
provide ropes for hosting from great
depths. To make a rope of practicable
size that will be sufficiently flexible
and that will bear even its own weight
is no mean problem, for in such cases
the weight of the rope. is often much
more than the material lifted; hence
we have taper rope intended to give 9

Council Proceedings
Another Long Session Devoted TO
General Round Up In
City Affairs.

The council met in adjourned
session at ? O'Clock yesterday after
noon and devoted the entire time
till o O'Clock TO various matters
pertaining TO the city.
A petition from Mr.. Wither
spoon, the cotton man, for putting
Bell telephone in his office was
first taken up. Attorney Riddle
presented the matter He argued
that it would be great conven-
ience TO Mr.. Witherspoon in carry
ing on his cotton business and
would not be detrimental to any
one.
Attorney Fechheimer. in behalf
Of the Topeka & Fl Reno Tele-
phone Co. argued against the
petition. He showed that the Bell
company were iptruders in Chick

city to put in a single phone The

Piled with all the requirements Of

Mr.. Riddle stated that he was
authorized TO state that the Bel
Co. would soon ask for franchise
for long distance phones.
Several members Of the council
took the view that the city had nc
right to allow the Bell company to
put in a phone for one person unless
III gave the same privilege TO all
Others. Hugo Roos was present
and wanted Bell phone in hi:
