RESOURCES
ARE GOOD
Wisconsin Creamery PROPOSE.
ton for Canadian Breaks
Land Promises Good

I'VE are gradually getting in shape
to put tho lands on the market, "
said r, S, Allen, OF Houston at the
Amarillo hotel this morning, in
speaking Of the lands north OF town
which his company recently pur-
chased, 81 bought the lands in the
first place simply because l thought
they were worth 1t for grass lands.
Since then l have found other pos
sibilities which are we'll worth devel-
oping.
"These Wisconsin parties that have
been talking about the dairy prop
osition want TO put in some dairy
colonies down in here somewhere.
They figure that oy putting in cheese
factories and creamerles at convent
emit points along the Canadian river
communities OF dairy farmers could
make satisfactory arrangements for
marketing their products, OF course
there is a good market in this county
for all products of that kind. II the
farmers we're enabled to have a sure
market every day for milk from a
small dairy herd they could make
themselves self sustaining from the
stort and at the same time be devel-
oping the resources of the farms
There is good deal of productive
valley land In the Canadian country
, and hear that fruit does well in the
breaks country wherever 1t is being
tried.
"Of course transportation facilities
will be something Of a handicap to
that section-for the present. There
are several projects on foot, however,
and think it is only a question Of
a short time till that country gets
railroad accommodations. All This
talk about unfrisndly legislation has
been bad for railroad building bat
there are good opportunities for the
building OF feeder roads by private
capital. AT Wichita Falls. Mr. Kemp
and myself promoted a road through
to Keel, town over In the territory
last year and now railroad company
has bought the line and is building
It through to Frederick. 1t was
through a good country and was a
paying proposition. 1t seems to me
that there is good opportunity for a
road through the Canadian country
into here from Colorado. When
road does come in across that coun-
try, / think it likely that the build
ers will try to strike the river near
the point now crossed by the county
bridge north Of Amarillo because the
rock bed there allows a stable foun-
datlon for bridge"

A FINE RECOMMENDATION.
Old Home Paper Writes Of Mr.. Robt
l.. Ball, of Amarillo.
(From Tuesdays Daily

(From Tuesdays Daily.)
When Mr.. Robt. L. Ball associated
himself with the p. l.. Person Land
company, the Daily Panhandle made
a note OF the fact. BY some means
one OF the papers with this notice in
IT., got to the editor Of Mr.. Balls
old home paper, the Morning Re-
view, Of Cleburne, Texas, and the
editor copied the Panhandle's re-
marks and added the following,
which the Panhandle copies In order
that his friends here may know what
the people where he was raised think
OF Mr.. Ball. Here are the Reviews
remarks:
1.-THE foregoing complimentary no
tice refers to Robert L. Ball, ;or-
merly OF Cleburne, who moved to the
plains country five CT six years ago
and has been proving the adage,
blood will tell to be true in every
particular.
Bob Ball, as he was Familiarity
known in this city by all his num-
erous friends and associates, is a
son of DR.. j. l.. Ball, and brother
Of Dr. Ball and Scales Ball, of the
firm OF Ball & Williamson. There
is no finer nor better fellow living
then this favorite son of Cleburne.
He is a gentleman and a splendid
business man, honest, wide-awake,
and reliable in every phase of life.
He not only deserves success, but
has by hard work and honest deal
ings managed to gather together a
fair amount OF this worlds good {,
which fact is pleasant news to his
numerous friends in the city of Gle
burne, where he was born, raised and
educated. Good luck to you, Bob,
old man"

MIXED WITH THE
SHOW PEOPLE
(From tuesdays Daily.)

CFrom tuesdays Daily
AS principals in a brawl that
came near amount ing to riot,
Charles Saunders OF the sells-Floto
Show company, and Lee Bivins, Of
Amarillo, must answer complaints
filed in justice court last night
charging them with simple assault
The fracas grew out of the visit
OF a party of Amarillo men, includ-
ing several prominent citizens, to
the show grounds last night when
the evening performance was nearly
over. Instead OF coming to the main
entrance and purchasing admission in
the usual way, the visitors, without
Invitation, pushed into the tent for
performing horses. This tent also
includes the dressing rooms OF the
actors and is joined to the big tent
by the entrance for the performers.
Here the visitors we're told to 20
the main entrance to get into the
show. This admonition failed OF eff
feet and one of the men pushed on.
At the time the boss hostler was in
charge OF the entrance In directing
the EQUESTRIAN acts. When the man
failed to so back the hostler, failing
to appreciate either the prominence
or good intentions of the intruder
smashed him with cane.
In flash there was an interchange
OF blows that left the Amarillo man
with a punctured countenance. Then
the police organization OF the show
grounds quickly asserted itself, one
of the main combatants In the per-
son of The boss hostler was whisked
out of sight and more cool-headed
leaders of the show company threw
themselves into the mob to quiet
the disturbance. The showmen
called for officers and sought to
turn the entire difficulty over to the
proper authorities but the aggrieved
man and some of his hot-headed
friends persisted in looking for the
man who had hit him and for other
trouble. Finally, however. the ANA
rillo principals were taken UP town
and the critical part of the difficulty
ended.
After the combatants had been
separated the trouble threatened to
break out in another way by the at
tempt on the part Of some of tho
Amarillo men to have the entire show
held up a day to answer in court for
the difficulty. The show managers
had acted promptly in their part of
the matter, had produced the hostler
who Immediately demanded and
made cash bond and instructed the
officer to plead guilty for him on
the charge of simple assault. On
this charge no further action could
be taken against the show company
and some of the interested parties
sought to get a more serious hold
on the show people by coming down
town and swearing out complaint
charging assault with intent to kill.
BY the time the warrant on this
charge had been obtained, however,
the show trains had pulled ort and
were well on their way to Wichita
Falls.

JURY ACQUFS OF OF ROBBERY CHARGE James Jones Found Not Guilty
 at Florence FEW CONVICTIONS MADE For Five Years LauderdaIe County Juries Have Found Few Verdcts of Guilty-WiId Act of Good
 Samaritan.
FEW CONVICTIONS MADE

Florence, September 22.-(SpeciaI )- Yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock the jury In the case of James Jones. on trial for highway robbery, returned 0 verdict of mot gully" after being out two hours. Jones was accused of rob ping a Swede named Anderson, last June, after making him drunk on drugged whisky. The principal wit ness against him was Policeman Her bert Kendrick, who made the arrest.
 Jones and his companion, Savage, carried Anderson past his hotel on the street car and alighted at a lonely street in the suburbs. Their actions aroused the suspicion of Policeman Kendrick, who left the car and con- cealed himself to watch deyelopments
 MT. Kendrick testified that Jones sup ported Anderson while Savage follow ed and appeared to be watching be- hind them. Reaching a lonely spot Jones knocked Anderson down and was feeling in his clothes when KendricI1 appeared upon the scene. Savage ran and escaped, but was latter captured Jones was caught by the officer but fought desperately and gave Kendricle such kick on the knee that he was crippled several weeks.
 During the past five years Lauder dale county jurles have turned pris- oners charged with capital offenses loose with unbroken regularity. In discharging the defendant Judge Charles P. Almon called him before the bench. lectured him severely and warned him against future offenses.
 A Mistaken Samaritan.
 Angry that his good offices were re- jected and his efforts to act the good Samaritan rebuffed, Henry Givens last night went after his pistol, and re- turning opened fire on the former ob- 1ect of his attentions.
 J. R. Weaver, a blacksmit at Seven Points. is subject to spells, and while they are upon him he is compelled to sit erect or suffer great pain. Last night Givens happened along as Weav- CT was having an attack and with mis- taken zeal tried to force Weaver down on the floor. He persisted in his eff forts until the blacksmith grew des- perate and choking Givens until he |. floor.
 This so infurated Givens that he went for his pistol and attempted to floor his man in more effectual and per- manent manner. He fired several shots at Weaver, which went wide of the mark and Weaver returned the fire, one ball taking effect In Givens' right arm. Both men were arrested this morning and each put up $50 forfeit to appear before Mayor Walker Mon day morning.

PAVING CAUSES CRITICISM

Ensley, September 22.-(Special) )-Con- siderable excitement was caused about II o'clock this morning by the attempted escape of a young white man named Bud Ware, charged with gaming. Police Offi- cer l.. A. Puckett raided a crap game on Seventeenth street and placed six young white men under arrest, Ware being one of the number. As they were being es- corted to the city jail Ware made a break for liberty and ran like deer up the alley between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets, the officer followed in pursuit Ware was gaining rapidly when the off cer drew his pistol and fired several shots. none of them effective, however. This halted Ware, who was carried to the Jail and an additional charge of attempt ing to escape was docketed against him. The chase was short, though lively one, and quite exciting, as the fugitive passed down Sixteenth street to Avenue F, which is thickly settled. The shooting attracted large crowd.
 prominent city official speaking of the recent action of the City Council in reference to the extension of the paving of Avenue E to Thirtieth street, which was deferred to a later date, and for which they have been somewhat criti- cised, said: There are two sides to every question and the men who opposed the proposed pavement are just as honest in their contention as are the men who advocated 1t. The city has a great many improvements going on at this time, far more than at any time in its history, and all these have to be financed and looked after, and in their opinion 1t would be unwise to start any more work at this time. The improvement will be made later without doubt, and as there Is some controversy about the various new pave ments In Birmingham delay may re- suit beneficially to the property holders"
 The Ladies' Aid society of the Metho- dist church will meet Monday afternoon with Mrs. Echols. The Aid society has decided to serve refreshments at the fair grounds during fair week, and all the plans and arrangements will be made tomorrow. The president is very anxious to have full attendance at this meeting as the undertaking will require the aid and assistance of every member of the society The booth has already been se- cured and is centrally located and the ladies expect to realize a neat sum from their venture.

and ore lands, as compared with similar properties in other sections of the Uni ted States. In the Lake Superior region, for example. the Great Northern ore lands were leased by the United States Steel corporation last year on a basis equivalent to paying S5 cents per ton for ore taken out this year. The ores thus leased are not supposed to be of partic- ularly good grade, as lake ores go. nor was their acquisition matter of supreme importance to the steel corporation. The price, therefore, set level for future pur- chases by other interests, and a short time later an eastern company bought lake ore land at s1 ton for the ore in the ground.
 These prices must be compared with those common in thet south. The recent Potter ore lease of the Republic and Ten nessee companies is supposed to be on basis of barely cent per ton for the ore in the ground Of course, Great Northern ores and the Potter ores are slightly diff ferent in grade, say 30 per cent against SS per cent, but even after allowing for this fact the disproportion in cost IS ridiculously large It is obvious that sucn differences cannot always exist, and that in the near. future we may expect to see a remarkable appreciation in the value of good southern ores.
