Climate.

Climate.
The climate of the Panhandle o
Texas is almost ideal in its balmN
equability, rarely going to extremes
either of heat or cold. The thermo
meter seldom reaches zero, the winters
are ury, and with the exception OF al
occasional "Norther,'' mild ane
sunshiny.
The large proportion of crisp, bright
bracing days makes it salubriOus
and delightful climate to live in.
Outdoor work can be carried on al.
most every day in the year. Sum-
strokes are unknown, and the summer
nights are cool and refreshing,
blankets being always required. The
altitude OF the country is ideal. 1t is
far above any height to which the
yellow fever mosquito has risen, and
thus is absolutely free from malaria.
No cnIils and fever medicines are
sold in the Panhandle drug stores.
The climate is specific for asthma,
PERSONS suffering from this Distress
ing ailnent finding absolute relief in
the dry air.
Rain Fall.
The rain fall is sufficient for any
crop and as the greatest precipitation
comes during the growing seasons,
every drop counts and none wasted.
1t has averaged about "a inches an
nualiy for the last twelve years. AS
Is inches is amply sufficient to insure
crop in this country, it will be seen
that on this point no apprehension is
to be felt. We have the figures from
the Government reports at our office.
While there is always enough there
is never too much rainfall. The long,
wet seasons 80 disastrous to Northern
farmers, are here absolutely unknown.
With the settlement of the country,
the general planting of trees, and the
interSecting of the railroads precipita-
ton will increase, as it has always
done in other prairie states. ''It is
not so much the question of precipita-
ton as of Precipitation" that makes
any country or any man successful,
and another thing, whatever the
reason may be, it is fact that the
rainfall in the Panhandle of Texas
has increased since 1892. 1t is
thought by everybody to be the result
Of extensive tree planting and soil
cultivation, which, as has already
been mentioned, is found by ex-
perience to invariably increase the
precipitation.
Character Of the Soil.
No section of the United States or
Canada has evener or more continu-
GUS good soil than the Panhandle.
Two main divisions may be noted

Qasbington Chat


When the legislative, executive and
judicial bill comes up before the Sen
ate this week, the amendment to it
providing for an increase in the
salary of members OF Congress from
$1,000 to 81 500 a year, may not meet
with kindly reception, judging
from the sentiment that exists in the
upper House now. There is feeling
in that body to resort the plan of
putting the burden in this matter on
the Senate, alter the House refused
to assumethe responsibility.
As is we'll known, when the bill
was up in the House it failed of pass
ing because members feared that their
constituents might raise the cry of
"salary grab" such as took place a
number OF years ago when the same
proposition was made to increase the
pay OF congressman. 1t would seem,
however, from the numerous letters
received by different representatives
and which were written by their con-
stitutency, that the people as whole,
are not averse to having the pay of
Congressman increased and this con-
census of opinion may have some
effect in securing the adoption of the
amendment. The opinions of the
public press have also been carefully
sought, the majority of papers being
in favor OF the increase, and these
also, are expected to carry weight
when voting time arrives in the
Senate.
1t is now safe to remark that the
Smoot case is to be completely side
tracked at this session of Congress
and some even predict that il will
never be called up at any coming
session. Many senators would like
to escape voting on the question but
Senator Smoot, himself, is urging
that vote be taken and some con-
sideration will have to be given to |
his request.
Early in the session when Senators
Dubois and Burrows delivered them
selves OF fiery speeches for the un-
seating OF the Utah Senator, it looked |
as il the case was to be brought to a i
focus then but nothing happened nor
has anything transpired since which
has had any bearing on the case /
either Tor or against. It was under
stood that one or two Senators were
in readiness with speeches to defend
Smoot but inst why they remain
silent is not explained by the
leaders" /,

grounds and here during four alter
Moons In each week, this strenuous
game Is played.
The captain of one of the teams and
the prime never in the sport, is
Archie Roosevelt, son of the Presi-
dent. His playmates are thirty boys
~ ut his own age itJ.n the Friends
Select School of which Archie is a
pupil. Temporary goal posts have
been arranged by the Youngsters and
soon alter the close of school in the
afternoon full fedged game is
under way. Each OF the players has
regulation uniform and while all of
the plays perhaps, are not scientifi-
cally carried out, great deal of
enthusiast is expended, to say notb-
ing of the noise. Tourists have been
astounded at the sight of boisterOus
boys whooping anu yelling in the
shadow of the Executive Mansion but
when told that it is all plan of the
Presidents son, they manifest con-
siderable interest in the games as do
the policemen and attendants on
duty about the place. Some of these
say that it is likely the President
himself will take a hand in the sport
as his likeness for football is we'll
known.

dark chocolate loan and dark sandy
loan, ranging from four to twenty
feet in depth, with hard clay sub.
soil. The fertility OF all of these soils
is remarkable, an unquestioned fact,
and there is no danger of its ever
wearing out. The Buffalo, Gram
MAJ "Mesquit" and blue Stem
grasses grow in abundance and for
ages supported the millions of buffalo
which ranged these plains, not to
mention the vast herds of cattle
kings that followed them.
Water Supply
The question of water is vital one,
and one of the first that is asked US.
We are fortunate enough in being
able to answer it entirely to the salts
faction of all. Throughout a large
part OF the southwest. chiefly 10 parts
of oklahoma, disagreeable taste is
impaired to the water by its precola-
ton through the gypsum rock which
underlies much of that territory.
This condition is not tu be found iii
the Panhandle country for the reason
that it is outside of the gypsum belt,
and the water is pure and sweet.
The whole of the Panhandle is
underlaid by an immense watershed,
furnishing at depth of 80 to 800 feet,
an inexhaustable supply OF pure,
sweet, soft water that is delightful to
the taste. Wells may be driven at
any point with the full and complete
assurance that there will be no failure
to obtain an inexhaustable supply of
the finest kind of water for domestic
uses,
Products
In describing the products OF the
Panhandle country, attention will
first be directed to it's agricultural
features, and then to what can be
done in the way OF stock raising.
This is reversing the order that has
been followed in the developing of
the district, but inasmuch as the hope
of the future lies along these lines of
agriculture, and for the further reason
that those interested in the Pan.
handle are desirOus first of all of
knowing what may be done with the
usual farm crops, it has seemed best
to place the most important products
first.
WHEAT. The first question that
is asked naturally, in the connection
is: will it grow paying and reliable
crops of wheat? A man whose farm
ing experiences has been gained in
the older states, especially in the
middle or the middle western states, is
very apt to think that this is the end
and aim of all farming. That he
must place his entire dependence on

i 1t is difficult to estimate the amount
of money, to say nothing of the time,
that has been spent on this famous
/ case. Witnesses on both sizes nave
been paid a considerable sum in fees
and travelling expenses and attorneys
have been big & liners in pecuniary
way. Petitions against the seating of
Senator Smoot continue to be received
by the State Commute having the
case in charge. most of them coming
from women's clubs and organiza-
tions. All are carefully stored away
in the room provided for that purpose.
Carrie Nation of Ratchet fame is in
Washington. So far she has acted
very ladylike and has confined her
self to speechmaking, preaching parti-
cularly against the lack of attention
that Congress gives to riding the
historic Pennsylvania Avenue from
the numerous electric signs located
on the tops OF high business build
ings and which advertise various
brands of beers and WHISTLES. She
proposes to cali upon the president to
send special message to Congress
on the dissertation of this famous
thoroughfare and then intends to see
that Congress acts upon the recon-
mendations of reform to be made.
Mrs. Nation is in Washington to
interview Postmaster General Cortel-
you who refused to permit her publ
cation called "The Ratchet" to pass
through the mails on account OF it
being vulgar. So many voices of the
Capitol city have claimed her atten-
ton, however, that the real purpose
of her visit has been overlooked.
Next to President Roosevelt, who is
at work every moment he is in the
Executive offices, the busiest man in
the White House is the presidents
secretary, Mr.. Loeb. Besides assist
ing the president in the reception OF
officials and visitors, he lis required
to read anywhere from three hundred !
to thousand letters day; not only
read them but answer them. If not |
by directing the several
stenographers the nature of the re-
plies to be made.
Most OF the letters, OF course, are in
tended for the president, but he sees
and answers only few OF the inn
pcrtant ones; the others being signed
By the secretary. Every letter is am
swered but in most cases the fewest
possible number OF words is used,
just enough to be polite and show the
writer that the letter has received az
tention. Many people write letters

MARKET MAKES
 GOOD ADVANCE
Stocks Advanced One to Three Points Outlook for Small Bull Movement Old Dominion Rumored Going on
 per cent Quarterly Dividend Basis.
(By H. II. Bru Col

GLOBE, June 25-Stocks opened strong and showed much activity, the bulls being in complete control of the situation and carried stocks up from one to three points higher all along the line. The market shows more activity than was looked for and we expect to see some more upward movement before the market reeedes.
 general rumor is out that Old Do minion will begin to pay dividends at the rate of per cent quarterly, which will be $l per share quarterly. This should also boom it and we look for a strong movement in this particular stock. Calumet & Arizona s earnings are such that the company may also increase this dividend. The present rate paid is $5 quarterly and if this be the case it should sell around $lS0 per share shortly. The market s condition is an excellent one, money matters seem to look better again, and after July stocks should continue to rise. We ad- wise dividend paying stocks bought on all reactions, as they are due for a good advance
 The local stock market was somewhat stronger. A strong movement contin- ues in Globe Consolidated This is a stock we'll worth consideration and will be selling in the 20's this fall. Globe Arizona Copper continues to show aetiv- ity and the mine is still shipping high grade ore to the Old Dominion com pany.

sory of misrepresentation and ill treat ment. On the Maori King were 250 Russians and $50 Chinese from the pro- vince of Manchuria. Immigration agents had represented to the Russians before leaving their native country that they would be brought to America and given as start in the new world forty acres of land and house in which to live. The representation made to the Manchurians was that they were to work on a railroad now in course of construction somewhere in China.
 Under that impression they sailed on the Maori King. They were virtually kidnapped, according to his story. On the way over the Chinese mutinied and many of them were killed. The steamer first put into San Diego, later reaching Guaymas. There the steamer was held up for several days by the Mexican au- thorities for the reason that Americans had been put in command of the boat The foreigners were unloaded after few days, though, and while many of them went to work, several hundred broke away and are now working to- ward the United States. About fifty of the Manchurians have reached Can anea, but the Russians arrested at Ben son are the first to get over the line. Immigration inspectors are keeping close lookout for the Chinese.
