oils Of the great Southwest, has fall

in the city is thing to be deeply
regretted. That such a matter should
have TO be carried before a jury TO
determine whether or not man In
the eyes OF the law is responsible for
a thing that he has signed to do, Is
certainly u peculiar stage OF the
game and will cause many a person
toblush deeply at tbs thought, What
an impression such resort would
make ON the outside world, which
now has its eyes on the wonderful
Panhandle and her leading city, Is
not yontured in these columns. What
the North aud East would think OF
the queen city Of the plains and
her resowceful territory should
such come TO pass, would be reclt
less dare on our part.

4 CITY PARK

Il is gratifying TO note the rapid
strides that arc being made IN the
way of improvements in The city, and
this fact is not only attracting the at
tcntion of The residents, but the sJran
ger as well is daily taking notes o.
such. This is well. The many pretty
homes that arc hcing built are not
only a great credit TO the city and
would be TO a much larger one, but
they show the faith Of these people in
Amarillo. The business houses that
are under construction and are CON
icmplated so still further to show
the future. Tho blocks aud blocks
of side walks are assets beyond cs
innate, hut with all this, Amarillo
is badly in need of ono othor improve
mcnt that would be one Of the strong
est talking points for her. and would
probably give moro pleasure to her
people and visitors than any Other
one thing that is q city park.
The movement in the direction OF
acquiring such was made in the Give
league-the initial meeting OF thal
body, and a move that deserves great
nraise, but tho fact that the ladies
have more work ahead OF them thal
thcv can conveniently do, is evidence
enough that they should have the CO.
operation Of the business men Oh
their organization. No one doubts
their ABILITY to get park for Am
arillo but other things that they have
set out TO accomplish cannot be pui
aside until the work is done, \
park for city. after having attain
cd the size that this now is, to say
nothing of the wonderful growth tha
continues, is a public necessity. by
all means Amarillo should have
park and the sooner such is secured

THE SANTA FE BONUS

Hardly day passes but what in
quirics are heard as to the progress
that is being made in the Santa Fe
matter. Many Of these are made by
strangers and few OF them are ac-
tually made by citizens. The Santa
Fc railroad has agreed to make cor
tain improvements here, lasting ones
too, with the consideration of a boz
nus. No trouble scarcely was en-
countcred i'm getting the required
amount signed for. This was looked
mon by the outside world as a prac-
teal assurance that the improve
mcnts would be made, TO say moth
ing Of what the people of the city
thought, and therefore has caused
many people TO como 20 this city
who otherwise would not have done
so. II has been a great advertise
mcuL for Amarillo and continues to
be such, but the delay in meeting
these payments as required, has
caused no end of hndranccs in clos.
ing the matter mp. Tho sooner such
is done The sooner will tho work be-
gin ON the improvements.
lcis a thing to be regretted that
the business men Of the city have
neglected their part in tho transac-
ton. and q thing that not only caus-
os the pcoplc of this section of the
state TO become doubtful in tho mat
ter but is causing the visitors to cast
shyluI glanccs ana make un-
cauny remarks. The people Of
the city of Amarillo whether husi-
ness men or day laborcrs, should
Irally TO the situation at once and
not only nut an end to the wild and
uncomplimcntary talk that is 80 IRE
ducnlly heard, but do their duty rs
WAS agreed so the proposition can be
closed and the work begun. Tho last
installmcut Of these payments was
due Sent. p aud it is learned that
only nineteen out Of ono hundred
and cighty-scycn citizens have paid
their portion Of The three install
mcnts. Fifteen Of these one hun
drcd and cighty-scVen have paid
nothing, seyonty-two have paid the
first ONLY and one hundred and SIX
ly-thrcc nave paid tho first and sec
ond. Tho amounts due Of the first
is S1Gl5, of the second $4,6l6.5O
ana of the last $9,1OI65. Thus We
have a total amount Of $l5,369I5
of tho bonus money all overdue and
/ which if it was in the hands of the
proper parties as it should have been
long ago, would soon see the entire
land that is required purchased, the
houses moved and then i'm a very
short time the Santa ZEE people would
begin their work as they seem anX.
ious TO do. Tho report has grown
current that a number Of those who
have signed for amounts, some OF
them men of means, show no dispo
sition whatever TO live up to theil
agreements and therefore the matter
will be taken to court to force tht
payments What reflection on the
city of Amarillo! What a reflection
on the citizens WHO have the pleas
4 ure to here reside, What a reflec'
ton on the business men who have
been so negligent of their duties thai
bonus matter will have to be taker
