This will not be because of the an.
tlpathy OF other communities, for ey'
cry town IN the Panhandle is the adj
miring friend and warm ally OF Anna.
rlllo In every effort to forward our
city and surrounding territory. Ey-
cry achievement OF Amarillo Is re-
Elected In the pride OF our neighbor-
ing towns in what we do,
Amarillo is going ahead whether
or not our business men get together
In a united effort to push it-but It
would 20 ahead blamed sight faster
II our people will band together in
a live commercial organization to ex-
plot the resources OF the Panhan-
die in general and the advantages
Of Amarillo in particular. Strenu-
Gus efforts should be made to locate
new enterprises OF every sort. The
field Is here.
The success OF our people in chang
ing the railroad map OF Texas, has
attracted not only the attention OF
the people OF the state, but is known
all over the country. An uniform
ed and apathetic legislature became
an enthusiastic champion. Organized
opposition OF all sorts was dissipated
THIS Is only one step toward a gerat-
or Amarillo, Let the good work
go on.
Amarillo will soon have railroads
radlating In practically seven differ
ent directions. Railroad advantages
are necessity to jobbing and dis
trlbutinE point, and with no large
city within 800 miles, the efforts of
an enthusiastic and patriotic busi-
ness organization to plant new indus
tries here, should be most prolific.
1t can be done. Each new concern
means just so many more people
added TO our population, Just so
many more mouths ITO feed Just so
many more bodies to be clad just
twice so many more feet to be shod,
and proportlonate Increase in the
demand for every known commodity
Of human need and desire.
The man who says Amarillo is
big enough for me" ought to get out
aud make room for the other fellow
who believes in his town and wants
Il to be the biggest and best possible,
The growth of no city was ever cir
by the horizon OF any
mans selfish desires, He might just |
as we'll make up his mind that the
day OF the dog in the manger" has
forever gone by so far as this town
Is concerned, for the principal reason
hat there are blamed sight more
days than there are dogs. Every |
body hustle, push and boost, but
lon't knock-the hammer-wielder
should be put out of commission.

The Daily Panhandle Is informed
that the monthly pay roll OF the
Santa re and Pecos Valley system Is
on the average, $4,000 per month.
This Is the amount paid for employees
who make their Headquarters in
Amarillo. Aside from this, the
amount paid out BY this company
adjacent to Amarillo, which is cashod
through the Amarillo Bank & Trust
Co.. this city, reaches almost $780,
900. This makes a nice sum TO pass
through the channels Of trade, and

1t is pleasant to see those old
frame buildings along Polk street,
disappearing, In addition TO the new
Kilbourn-Thompson building, draw
ing near completion, the old frame
building occupied by the Pantatorium
has been removed, and now the City
Meat Market building is being re-
moved to the center OF the lot, and
the finest brick in the row will be
erected by MIR, Webster, around the
old frame, in which he will do bush
ness while the new. building is being
erected. It is too bad that the en-
tire row OF these frame buildings
cannot be removed, and bricks occupy
their places, wine the other bricks
are going up.

The city council concluded at It's
Saturday meeting to try both classes

Notwithstanding dry weather, dust,

BY notice elsewhere 1t will be seen
that the water company promises to
turn on water permanently, and keep
it on, at O'Clock tomorrow morn
ing This will be good news to all
citizens of Amarillo. II would be
better If we had water for sprinkling
purposes, but they say they have not
got 1t for us. A request is made by
the manager for care to be used in
the matter Of wasting water, il citi-
zens would have it permanently, and
every user Of city water should be
as careful of the water as possible,
and not waste it, that water may be
served to them all hours, all sum-
mer. In the meantime, 1t Is urged
that the city and the water company
let no efforts be spared to prepare
a larger supply, to the en& that the
streets and lawns may be sprinkled,
and that we may have plenty OF wat
er to offer to factories, OF which we
should secure many during the COM
ing year.
