CANYON CITY, TEXAS, DESTINED TO Be
The CAPITAL CITY Of The PLAINS"

AS a people we maintain a high stand
ard of ethical and literary ability, with
five different houses of religious wor-
ship, and an 100000 School House,
with free term of nine months, for pu-
pills between the ages of seven and TWEEN
ty years.
Situated in the center Of a territory
comprising 10000 square miles, and
known as "The Texas Pan Handle" the
coming country, and on the Pecos VAL
ley Railroad, now being made part
of the main line between Chicago and
San Francisco. Note the foregoing map,
showing the contemplated "cut Off from
Washburn to Canyon City, the coming
pride of Northwest Texas. Also note
recent Charter which has been fled,
which will give us direct connection with
the Gulf of Mexico and the Panama
Canal.
Randall County Is second to no por-
ton Of the vast territory previously
mentioned, having more running creeks
and good valley lands admirably suited
to the growing of the finest alfalfa than
any of It's sister counties.
It has many of the finest sections of
level Plains Lands, well adapted to agri-
cultural purposes, producing bountiful
crops of Milo Maize, Kaffir Corn, Millet,
Sorghum, California Wheat, Broom
Corn, Alfalfa, also Wheat, Corn and Oats.

This is the natural ONE for many va.
rieties Of the finest vegetables and fruits,
especially is it the home of the Grape,
the Cherry, the Plum and other varieties
Of fruits.
The Public Schools of this County are
unexcelled by those ofany other County
Of this great State, lasting on an aver
age about six months, having good
corps of teachers, most of whom hold
first grade certificates. The School Fund
Of the State of Texasis one of the most
magnificent Of any State in the Union.
The people are, liberty loving, law
abiding, as Is evidenced by the fact that
while the County has been organized
since the year 1898 there have been but
few prosecutions and but two convic-
lions for felonies.
: Our lands are the best in the United
States for the money asked for them.
They are being bought up rapidly by men
coming from the North and East; they
are now in reach of men of small means.
Prices are advancing rapidly. Lands
that can be bought today for $500 per
acre will sell In the near future for
$1,000. Now is the time to be on the
ground with your money, and, instead
of making three or four per cent, make
from ten to one hundred. Again, we say,
come, see, and be convinced. ~.,~r,5 .

Young White seems to be perfectly

TAKE DIVORCE CENSUS.
Bureau Follows Presidents susges-

ton and Institutes Inquiry.
Washington, July 6.-The census
bureau will soon complete the field
work connected with the taking of the
census of the manufacturing business
of the United States, and when the
returns are all in will utilize the same
force in gathering information relating
to marriage and divorce in the several
states and territories.
These statistics are to be gathered
at the request of the President, ex-
pressed in a special message to con-
gress at the last session
The preliminary arrangement for
getting the information which the
President wants congress to have is
already complete; the bureau expects
to submit the results of the investiga-
ton to congress early in December
The general scope Of the inquiry
embraces these points: Provisions of
the marriage laws of each state and
territory, provisions of the divorce
laws, statistics showing the number Of
marriages and divorces in each state
and territory, and the prevailing
grounds on which applications for d.
vorce are based.

lntercedes With Governor and Wins
Pardon for Man.
Albany, N. Y, July 6. ~ Because of
the fact that he gave gallant service
on board the United States battleship
Oregon as a gunner, Edward A. Leas-
ure, who has been serving a term for
manslaughter in Sing Sing prison, will
go forth from the prison free man,
with all rights of citizenship restored
to him. Governor Higgins has pardon
ed him.
The pardon was obtained for Leas-
ure principally through the powerful
influence brought to bear on the gov
ernor by Rear Admiral Clark, who pro-
duced evidence to show that Leasure
acted in self defense in shooting Geo.
Crotty, for whose murder he was SEN
fenced to fifteen years imprisonment
Leasure was formerly in the United
States naval service and was rated as
the crack gunner on the Oregon at the
time that Captain Clark, now admiral
was her commander.
The admiral had strong admira-
ton for the gunner whose moral rec
ord was not only rated as perfect, but
whose work in handling the guns was
phenomenal.

HuRLs MAN OVER CLIFF.
Woman Believed to be Responsible for
Death of E. Anderson.

Mason City, July 6.-Pushed over a
| fifty-foot cliff, and by a young woman
| is believed by some to have been the
fate of Edward Anderson of st. Ans
gar, who died soon after being found
at the base of the cliff on the morning
of July 4.
The theory Of suicide has been ad.
vanced by some, but the dead mans
friends refuse to countenance it be
cause of the statement made by Ander.
son before he died. A coroner's jury
has been impaneled and a thorough in.
vestigation is on.
The facts so far gained by the au.
thorities point to murder and involve
a strange young woman.
On the night of July Anderson was
seen walking with young woman at
the outskirts of the woods. They
seemed to be very much agitated over
something, the woman apparently try
ing to coax the young man to follow
her farther into the thicket. Finally
both disappeared in the woods
Eight hours later Anderson, his body
bruised ard cut from having struck the
ragged base of the cliff, was found by
citizen. He was almost unconscious.
He was hurried to a hospital and as
the physicians worked over him he
gained enough strength to talk.

tioning any names.
The authorities Immediately began
an investigation. At the edge of the
cliff they found the print of a woman's
shoe. That the woman accompanied
Anderson to the edge of the cluff and
then pushed him off to his death is now
the popular opinion. No trace of the
woman has been found.
The motive for the supposed crime
is not now apparent. Anderson was %
years old, unmarried and was highly
cultured. He stood exceedingly well

'oiNSot WIN DC SUtdtls
Washington, D. G., July 6.-The
weather bureaus weekly bulletin
summarizes the crop conditions as fol-
lows:
The northern districts Of the coun-
try experienced temperatures too low
for rapid growth, but in the southern
states the temperatures were highly
favorable. The excessively heavy
rains from the central and west gulf
districts northward over the western
portion of the central valleys, while
relieving the drouth in Missouri were
Injurious in places and interfered ex-
tensively with cultivation. The condi-
lions in the Atlantic and Pacific coast
states was generally favorable. Corn
made excellent growth over the
greater part of the corn belt, except
in the upper Missouri and lower Ohio
valley, where rains retarded cultiva.
ton. The crop is clean and well ad-
vanced. Considerable has been laid
in Illinois, Missouri and Kansas. Late
corn in the southern states Is suffer
ing for want of cultivation. The win
ter wheat harvest is well-advanced in
the northern portion Of the winter
wheat belt, and Is practically finished
in Illinois, Missouri and eastern Kan
sas. Rain caused injury to grain in
the shock in Texas, Tennessee and
Kentucky. Spring wheat advanced
rapidly throughout the spring wheat
region and continues in promising
condition. Some rust is reported in
the southern portion. and on the low
lands of Minnesota there is tendency
to lodge. Crop conditions are fine on
the north Pacific coast except in the
Willamette valley, where aphides are
unusually numerous. A fine crop Of
oats is indicated in the principal oat
producing states, but few unfavor
able reports respecting this crop is
being received. Harvesting is in pro-
gress in the lower Missouri and cen
trail Mississippi valley. Reports gen
orally indicate the apple crop much
below the average in all sections.

IOWA WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
AS Whole Corn is Better Than at
Corresponding Time Last Year.

Des Moines, July g. The week
ending on the morning of July g.,
brought large excess Of rain in all
districts, the amounts reported rang
ing from 1.50 to over 500 inches. The
daily average temperature was six de-
grees below normal in the central dis
trict, and relatively low in all parts Of
the state. Tie prevalent cool weather
was beneficial to spring wheat and
oats, checking damage by rust.
In nearly all parts of the state the
soil was too wet for cultivation of
corn, and on an average only about
one or two days work in that line was
done In respect to stage of growth
corn is quite uneven, ranging from
few inches to full normal height. In
the southwest district a large per
cent of the crop has been lail by in
fair condition; and in all sections
most of the early planted fields show
normal growth. AS whole, the corn
crop is better than at corresponding
date last year. Spring wheat and oats
are generally headed out and filing
we'll, with but little indication of heavy
damage by rust and blight. Early hay
harvest was begun week or more
ago and considerable clover has been
ruined by excessive rain With fair
weather in the future, the hay crop
will be very good. Pastures are extra
good. Potatoes and all garden truck
are doing well. The apple crop shows
decline in condition.
Reports of crop correspondents for
July 1 showed the following average
condition of staple crops: Winter
wheat, SO; spring wheat, "a; corn, 90;

White told Mr.. Taylor that he hat

bles-troubles greater than anyone
knew. He said that the only way he
could live was to get away from them

what they were, saying that their ma

knew it was foolish to try to hide his
departure the way he did, but that he

Judge Howe Rules That State Treas
urers Need Not Refund Levy.
Des Moines, July 6. The state has
right to levy taxes on state and mu-
utal insurance companies and overlook
county mutuals under Iowa's statute,
according to ruling made by Judge
Howe yesterday. Judge Howe held.
that the statute in question is not UNI
constitutional
Nineteen local insurance companies
brought suit against State Treasurer
G1lbertson to recover taxes which 1T
was claimed were collected under a
statute that is unconstitutional
1t was alleged that the statute col
lects taxes from state mutuals and ov-
CROOKS county mutuals, thus discrim-
mating in favor of the county mu-
tuals
Insurance men over Iowa have been
anxiously waiting Tor the decision.
The court sums up his holdings as fol-
lows:
"The legislature has said that in
surance business carried on generally
throughout the state shall be taxed;
and that a certain kind of insurance
business, limited to a single county,
and the counties contiguous therefor
for fraternal beneficiary business as
distinguished from insurance business
shall not be taxed. Such distinction
seems to be we'll founded and to form
the basis of reasonable classical
ton.
"If the state is to receive the inter.
probation which would seem to be the
usual and ordinary Interpretation of
it's language, then, in my judgment, it
is constitutional
