EXCURSIONS MAY PASS is

Some of our real estate people
complaining of being intertered
with in their business talk like
they may go elsewhere.
This interference, they say,
consists partly in outside par.
ties, in some instances owners
of land, getting with the men
they bring down here and
"poisoning' their minds against
the agents by telling them that
said agents are gouging them in
prices etc. and that they, these
outside parties, can sell them
much cheaper etc. etc.
Those complaining of this
character of treatment assert
that if such practices are con.
tinued it will, as matter of self
protection, compel them to stop
their operations about Canyon
City.
The agents engaged in this
business are at great expense in
many ways to bring these pros
pectors here; they spend lots OF
money for advertising and do
much talking and besides pay
heavily for the sleeping cars
they furnish their prospectors
along the way down here and
are surely, as matter Of right,
entitled to their customers free
from any hindrances on the
part of our people until they
are through with them.
There is one thing certain
without the aid of land agents
we can not get these northern
prospectors down bere-we
want them to come and not
only to come. but to settle
up our lands and to assist US in
developing the country.
The railroads and land agents
are working hand in hand to de.
velop this country, they are in
terested, of course, and so are
we, every mothers son of US,
and we should aid rather than
hinder their efforts as long as
they deal fair with US and this
The News is persuaded to be-
lieve they are trying to do.
The News for one has no de.
sire to see the semi-mOnthly eX-I
cursions either stop short of our
town or pass US by and such, it
thinks, is the sentiment Of all
our people. Our land agents,
most of them, are working for

TOO MUCH SPECULATION.

The Plains are all right as a
farming country aud Randall
county as a parcel of them is
also we'll within this rule. This
fact has been already demon,
strated and it is this fact alone
which is the prime cause for the
present prevailing prices OF
Plains land.
The rise in land prices during
the last twelve months while
startling to many people. is
not at all uncommon in the his
tory of Texas. AS is the
usual rush to the pl e
where precious metals are dis
covered 50 do people move to a
land said to be flowing with
milk and honey. Sometimes as
in Oklahoma and other portions
of the Southwest this move
ment of people is accompanied
by actual settlement of the land
the Federal law requires it in
order to hold-frequently, how.
ever, as in Texas, it is purchased
for speculation first, then fol
lows period of depression and
then comes settlement.
On it's first rise-the spec
ulative era-the true develop
ment of the country by actual
settlement is oft times lost sight
of and people. without stopping
to reason, rush madly into the
widest of schemes and seeming
ly regardless of consequences.
1t is not intended by anything
already SAID to even intimate
that Randall county or other
Plains land is too high in price,
far from il, if put to the right
Observation-Disclosures to simply |
call attention to the fact that
there is such a thing as too
much speculation with too little
thought for permanent good OF
the country. AS the Hereford
Brand said in a late issue: 1t is
alright for the people to trade
in lands, but all trading and no
farming will. not develop the
resources OF any country"
