number, something will probably be
done in keeping with economy-the
streets and sidewalks, for instance.

HOGS IN THE PANHANDLE.

The Panhandle has had consider
able to say about hog raising in the
Panhandle country. II has been dem
onstnated that no place In the United
states do hogs do better than in the
Panhandle. No cholera Is ever heard
Of here. and Panhandle hogs top the
market both in Fort Worth and in
the Missouri river markets.
Amarillo and many OF the stock
raisers hereabouts has been asking
for a packing house In this city. It
has been stated on authority, by
packing house men, that whenever
the Panhandle can raise the hogs to
supply packing house, one will be
forthcoming,

which ought to cause farmers in
this section to start herd OF hogs

500 to 1000 sows. These sows run

LABOR DAY.

Labor day was flttlngly observed
in Amarillo yesterday, Practically
all business houses we're closed and
the day was given over to the boys
who move the wheels OF industry.
The writer has resided in several
states and in many towns, but he
has never had the pleasure to note
sentiment so general in favor Of
the tradesman as was noticed in
Amarillo yesterday.
We believe In organized labor.
When we purchased printing plant
In Amarillo, a little over year ago,
there was not a union man in the
office. The men received about S12
per week at the time. All men in
the Daily Panhandle office today are
union men, and they receive from
SIS to $24 per week
We want competnet men in our
offices, To get them we must go TO
the typographical union. OF which
the writer himself is an honorary
member, what is true with refer
ence to printers may Oe said OF all
the trades and divisions of skilled
labor. The union man is the eff
Client workman, the man who de-
livers the goods.
Amarillo Honored unlonism yester-
day. Practically every business
house, shop and factory was closed
for the day. The mayor and other
citizens in their addresses voiced the
sentiment OF the general public. We
respect and honor the man In the
overalls. He Is the indispensable
factor In the business world, the
motive power in the industrial realm.
He deserves all he gets and more.
The Daily Panhandle Is proud of
Amarillo for her attitude toward the
laboring man. ..

THE WATER QUESTION.

There is an inexhaustible source
OF pure water In the ground In and
around Amarillo and in the entire
Panhandle country. The only ques-
ton is to get 1t to the surface in
quantity sufficient to meet the wants
OF the city.
For the past week there has been
much less cause for complaint on
account of scarcity of water. The
water company may be trying to do
all they can do to furnish water, but
their trials at times are exasperating
to say the least
We are reliably informed that the
stockholders Of the company will
have a meeting In the near future at
which some definite action will be
taken with reference to our water
question. The company realizes that
plant sufficiently large to supply
city OF $4,000 will eventually be
required here, and they are deliber-
ating on the kind and extent of the
system. They claim to have ample
means at their disposal, but they
want to be certain Of success when
once they install their system. In
the meantime the company is doing
what 1t can with an inadequate plant.
The many exaggerated stories
which have gone out, in reference to
our water conditions, will do ANA
rillo no harm. Anybody who knows
anything about the Panhandle knows
that we have plenty of water and the
best water on earth. Amarillo has
simply outgrown the expectations
and the capacity of the water COM
pany. she has surprised the most
sanguine in the rapldity of her de-
velopment. and new plans must be
made and problems solved to meet
her needs.
Will the water company arise to
the emergency Of It's own volition
and accord, or will It necessitate To-
gal action on the part of the city
council to bring the matter to u ter
mination, Is the question.
We trust the corporation will see
that delaysis no longer in order and
that action should be on their pro-
gram.

subscribers to the fund, for the re-

During the past few days, or since
the order was received at the Crooks
ton land Office restoring the lands to
homestead entry which were with
drawn last fall pending a government
survey, the land Office in Crookston
has had rush of business and every
day several applicants have filed on
government land which was restored
by the recent order. That they will
have to promise to pay for their share
of any drainage that the government
decides to do later on does not seem
to deter any one from making entry,
as they consider that the land is we'll
worth the price and any drainage
which is done will be more of bene-
fit to the land than the amount which
they will be assessed to pay for it.
