from the fact that another line is to be

is reported that construction work will
be started before the summer is over,
and that twenty eight miles will be

impossible to substantiate this, how

alfalfa, kaffir corn, maize, etc. to
grow in abundance and produce the

Colony of California and many other
colonies, they propose to COLOMBO
this land with actual settlers Of the

Already many inquiries have COM

that they have already commenced
to buy more land.
LOCATION

southern part of Randall county be-

and all of it close TO the new rail-
road from Canyon City to Plainview

be found.

no place could better inducements
be found than in Randall County,
near Canyon City.
After deciding to locate here they
bought outright 81 sections or 23,68O
acres, part of which they have now
surveyed into quarter sections.
They purchased this land at a
close figure and intend to COLOMBO it
with people who are tired of farming
the high priced land ofthe North and
East.
Already they have let the contract

Mr.. Conner came to this county
and located the section where Can
yon City now stands, Christmas
1887, and on Jan, 3, 1888, the first
building material was placed by him
upon the site.
But five settlers were in the
entire county at this time and many,
indeed, we're the hardships endured
in the way Of transporting supplies
etc.
July 81, 1889, as previously
mentioned, the county was organ
lied and its history from that date
to now, it may safely be said, has
been one of permanent growth and
general progress. From the very
beginning, Mr.. Conner has been OF
the first to take a hand in this up
building. He was the first Post
master of the town, the only one in the
whole county at that time, and had,
what do you think Of it Old State
Readers? his office in dugout. He,
erected the first hotel in Canyon
City, naming it after his wife Vic
toria, and it still goes by that name,
and also the first general store
building; in fact, there is no enter
prise, small or great, which has had
for its object the benefit of town or
county, but what has received this
gentleman's hearty support.
Mr.. Conner opened the first real
estate Office in Randall county-and
by close attention to matters per-
tanning to this business and by his
sterling integrity in every detail
connected therewith-honest alike
TO seller and buyer-he has built up
a reputation that might we'll be the
envy OF any man in Texas.
Mr.. Conner has always done a
good business and always will.
Owners of property trust him i'm
plicitly and buyers coming to know
him, give him their custom.
Mr.. Conner has made lots of sales
this year and right now has, all
told, 100, 200 acres Of fine land for
sale. He offers this land in tracts
10 suit purchasers, large or small,
and will take pleasure in answering
all inquiries touching the same. AS
