which fair would be of great bene-
fit to Montpelier in particular and
the county in general.
The question is, will the CONNER
cial club, and others who would
reap benefit from fair, take hold
of the matter and push it through,
or will they let it drop and thus sig
Nifty that they have no desire to as
sist IN the upbuildlng of the town
and county.
The question Of merging the two
school districts in Montpelier into
one independent district and secur
ing high school, is also one that
the Commercial club should take
action on. Sentiment is rapidly
growing IN favor of high school
here, but unless some one takes hold
of the matter and pushes it through,
this much needed institution of
learning will never be secured.
Therefore, it is meet and proper
that the Commercial club shonld act
on the question. It will not require
any money to secure the consollda
ton of these districts, but it will
require that two or three men who
| are interested IN the matter, spend 9
/ little of their time in securing The
necessary number of signatures to
i petition which must be presented tt
the board of county commissioners,
4 who have the power to merge TIT
1.-TWO districts into one Independent
Fvdistrict. After this IS done, IT will
then be an easy matter to provld
for high school. This matte
should be taken up at once, and thu
i petition presented TO the commits
sioners at their January session. b.
consolidating the Districts at tina
, time, arrangements could be mad
whereby high school course coul'
, tbe opened in our schools next fall.
all Will the club act on this matter
! or will it let 1T pass and thus permi

TIME FOR ACTION.

While we do not wish to be con-
sldered in the light of grumbler or
fault-tinder, yet we do feel like reg
lstering a kick against the easy,
slow-going spirit that seems to pre-
vail among the business men and
citizens, generally, in Montpelier.
They don't seem to possess that push
and enterprise that is characteristic
of the American people and which
is necessary for the upbuilding of
modern city. We are all too much
like the proverbial Arkansaw gentle
man, who didn't re-shlngle his house
while the weather was good, because
there was no need of it then and
when it was raining he couldn't re-
pair it. There are opportunities
knocking at the door OF Montpelier
which, if taken advantage of, would
result i'm great benefit to the town.

There are two things which the
Commercial club should take holdl
of right now and never let up until
both are put into successful opera
tlon-these are the organization of
a county fair association and the
securing of high school.
The county fair question was dis
cussed' at some length by the Com
mercial club last spring, and COM
mittee appointed to ascertain if al
suitable site could be secured near
the city, but nothing more was ever
heard of the matter, and the suppo1
sition is that the committee is still
looking for fair ground site.
That q successful fair could be
held in Montpelier, Is conceded By
all who have given the matter any
thought. 1t will require active work
and some capital, though. to get the
fair started, but these two things
are required in building up any bus
mess enterprise. Now is the oppor-
tune time for the Commercial club
to again take up the fair proposition
and during the winter months the
organization could be perfected, .
site secured and the funds subscribed
with which TO put the grounds II
shape for holding fair next fall.
A fair would bring more people
to Montpelier during the week i
was being held and stimulate every
merchants business more during
that week than any other enterprise
costing the same amount of money
A fair would bring people here from
all directions, within radius of l0'
miles, who would come to our tow
for no other purpose. A fair woul'
stimulate our farmers to raising bet
ter stock of all classes, and thi
: would result in increasing the wealt
>ot our county.

GIGANTIC SCHEME.
West Texas Man Plans to Utilize
Waters of the Wichita.

J. a. Kemp OF Wichita Falls, bank
er, merchant and pioneer irrigation
ist of the Panhandle, passed through
Fort Worth yesterday returning from
visit TO St. Louis and New Orleans.
Il feel quite confident" he said,
that we viii soon enter upon the
greatest irrigation enterprise ever
undertaken in the southwest, and In
some respects the greatest in the
United States II lis TO utilize the
waters of the Wichita river forty
miles above Wichita Fails. and irri-
gate the immense area lying between
the Wichita and the Little Wichita TO
the southwest and extending TO Red
river on the northeast, The propos-
ed reservoir win cover 10000 acres,
and will irrigate 25.00e acres of fer
tile valley land in Archer. Wichita
and Clay counties.
''The location has been thoroughly
examined by an irrigation engineer,
who pronounces it entirely feasible
at an estimated cost of S1,500.000
Irrigation is the thing for West
Texas We have demonstrated it's
success in our enterprise at Wichita
Falls and the work there will soon
be duplicated in many other places.
Cecil Lyon told me at Houston the
other day that he was contemplating
an irrigation enterprise at Quanah.
1--WE are entirely satisfied with our
present irrigation investment at
Wichita Falls. One OF our farmers
last year made a bale and three
quarters to the acre with only one
wetting Another of our farmers
made GO bushels of corn to the
acre on the same land from which he
had harvested a good wheat crop.
In the Panhandle and all West
Texas we can do with less water than
in the strictly arid regions, for we
have a good rainfall. Irrigation in
sures against prolonged drouths and
makes farming last from late winter
20 early winter, instead of few
months In the spring.
II am prepared this year TO ex-
pertinent thoroughly with the sugar
beet feel sure it will succeed and
1T Ii does, our new irrigation enter
prise will cause a wonderful develop
ment In manufacturing as we'll as
farming i'm the Wichita country. -
