As Hereford Sees 1t.

The Hereford Brand of last
Friday takes the Amarillo prop
osition" as follows;
There will be contest in the
present Legislature between the
Santa Fe railroad and the citi-
zens of Armstrong and Randall
counties which is Of great inter
est to the citizens of Hereford.
The Southern Kansas and Pecos
Valley will soon be the main line
of the Santa Fe and Hereford
will be on the main line from the
Pacific slope to the east. The
Santa Fe owns both the South
ern Kansas and the Pecos Valley
roads. and is endeayoring to have
passed by the present Legislat-
ure a bill allowing them to take
up and abandon the Southern
Kansas track from Panhandle
City in Carson county TO Wash
burn in Armstrong county. and
in lieu thereof build a new road
from Panhandle to Amarillo. If
the Legislature passes such a
bill then the Santa Fee company
will build a new line from ANA
rillo To a connection with the Pc

City. Thereby missing Arm

cos Valley shops are now located
there and in the event the bills
as introduced by Messrs. Veale
and Bowman allowing the track
to Washburn to be abandoned be
defeated, then Amarillo will lose
the shops, and Hereford would
have the best chance to get them.
The citizens of Armstrong and
Randall counties are lobbying
against the bills with all their
might and main; should the citi.
zens of Deaf Smith join them?
As yet, nothing whatever has
been done by our people on either
side. Amarillo is without the
water and drainage facilities to
maintain even second class shops.
To the contrary with Hereford,
she has the best of water and an
abundance of it, in fact, an mex
haustible supply, together with
as good location for drainage
as any town in Texas"

On complaint to the Interstate

for the purpose of taking evil

Amarillo shippers touching rate
injustice or extortion by the rail
roads on the commerce of the

Among the determinations
against Panhandle towns it was
shown that coal from Colorado
points was hauled past Amarillo
and to Fort Worth for 30 cents
per ton under the rate now

the distance for less money. Also
that some other commodities.
notably sugar, could be shipped
from Denver TO Fort Worth and

Neglected Colds Threaten Life.

From the Chicago Tribune
Don't tritie with cold is
good advice for prudent men and
women. 1t may be vital in the
case Of a child. Proper food,
good ventilation, and dry. warm
clothing are the proper safe
guards against colds. If they
are maintained through the
changeable weather Of autumn,
winter and spring, the chances
of a surprise from ordinary colds
will be slight But the ordinary
light cold will become severe if
neglected, and a well established
ripe cold is TO the germs Of diph.
iberia what honey is to The lee.
The greatest menace to child life
at this season of the year is the
cold" Whether il is
a child or adult, the cold slight
or severe. the very best remedy
that can be adopted is to give
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
1t is safe and sure. The great

Amarillo VS.. Washburn.

Referring to the Amarillo prop.
oSition now pending before the
Legislature to take up the rail
road track between Washburn
and Panhandle the Claude News
of last Friday says:
The News did not appear last
week on account of the absence
of the editor, who was at Austin
endeayoring to assist the citizens
of Washburn and our county in
general in holding what justly
belongs TO us. Some two
weeks ago the citizens of the
Washburn community the com
munity most directly interested
selected a committee to 90 to
Austin and present remon-
STRANGE to the Legislature. This
committee consisted of II. W.
Shuey, Stephen Bishop and G..
NJ. James of WaShburn. Judge
Il. d. Doak and j. II. Hammer of
Claude. GhaS. Goodnight of Good
night, and T. ;. Bugbee of Clar-
enbon Tuesday afternoon a tel
egram was received from Austin
stating that the Senate commit
tee to which the measure had
been referred would hold meet
ing Thursday for the purpose of
hearing argument on the merits
of the question. When the dele
CATION reached Austin il was
soon discovered there would be
no committee meeting until the
question of the United States
ScnatoIShip was settled. The
delegation could only talk to the
Representatives and present
their Siue. but in very unSatis-
factory way The delegation
was given an audience by Gov.
Campbell, who listened patiently
and tried 10 reach the merits of
the matter. but of course gave
no intimation of what he would
do in the event action was re
quired on his. The question of
justice being so clearly on the
side of the citizens of Washburn
it is difficult to conceive Of IA
yorable report from either the
Senate or House committee. 1t
