PRAISES RIVER LAND
E, A. Pattralh Tells Of Great Possibilities
Of The | X Lands Purchased Some
time Ago iOr Development

"There will be more people on
that land some time than there are
in Amarillo now" said u, A. Paff-
rath, this morning In speaking Of the
tract Of TX ranch land sold several
weeks ago to II, S. Allen & Co., of
Houston and Electra. Mr., Paffrath
was Influential in selling the land
and is thoroughly familiar with It's
possibilities. lie objects to the IN
ference given in the Daily Panhandle
at the time OF the sale that the tract
in question was considerably less val
liable acre for acre than plains land,
"a wouldn't trade that land acre
for acre for plains land" continued
Mr., Paffrath, "for stock raising pur-
poses, for cattle, horses and hogs,
There Is some land there that won't
raise wheat and oats perhaps, but
there are thousands of acres that
will be made great apple orchards,
Alfalfa will be big product in many
OF those valleys. Even now in the
wild state the land is covered in
many places with natural plum or
chards and wild grapes that yield
abundantly every year When II Is
developed, the land will yield more
than ever of those products Much
of that land will be worth 800 an
acre some time"
The land referred to by Mr.. Paff-
rath Is that described in the Daily
Panhandle some time ago and is the
balance Of the Tx ranch lands which
have been owned by the American
Pastoral company. 1t lies in the
Canadian river breaks on the north
side OF Potter county and in Moore,
Hutchinson end Carson counties.
There is something over 10000
acres In the tract and the amount
OF the deal was given in report
sent out from Houston to be nearly
100000. Mr., Paffrath, however,
declined to verify or contradict this.
"The company which bought this"
explained Mr.. Paffrath, 'is the same
one that bought the big Waggoner
ranch in Hardeman and Wilbarger
counties and paid SIS an acre for
it. People said they had been rob-
bed but these men knew their bust
ness and they have shown the people
that the land was worth much more
than they paid for it. They will sub
divide this land in the Tx tract and
they will make a success of it because
the land is worth It,"
