In Amarillo.

The question of public service
corporations in Amarillo is be-
coming a most serious one. The
WaterworkS serve water to CON
sumerS only few hours a day,
and to get drink down town
one has to go to a saloon, restau-
rant or drug store and buy
something stronger than water,
of which there is plenty. When
this trouble will be remedied
there is no definite promise.
Amarillo has an ice plant which
manufactures the article, but it
is next to impossible to get ice
delivered to private residences,
or small business places, in small
quantities, even at an eXhorbi-
tant price. The Panhandle has
had a siege of it trying, and is
generally able to secure delivery
by noon. Then we must take
what the ice delivery man wants
to give us and pay the price. The
smallest quantity delivered is 10
pounds for 10 cents. If only five
or seven pounds is left and kick
is made it is take that or moth
ing, and today a driver was going
to pass up the Panhandle Office
because we kicked on taking
seven pounds for ten Saturday.
Surely there is room for compe-
tition in the ice business in Am
arillo, and the public are literally
at the mercy of some of the pub
lie service corporations. Com
plant comes to the Panhandle
daily regarding these troubles
and it is hoped there will be u
remedy found soon. Daily Pan

ihoioouIC, CtC., Iiiu say VII, y YES,
the idea of raising feed has long
since been abandoned here"
The prospector would scarcely
ever travel far off the railroad,
and if he ventured another ques-
ton, it was something like this:
/ see everything looks fresh and
green around the town." to
which some one would reply:
'Oh, yes; we had a pretty good
rain here the other day-the best
we've had for two years-but it
didn't reach more than two miles
north or SOUTH" as the case
might be; and thus the prospec-
tor, who had started a few days
ago in search of cheap land in a
prosperous country, with high
hopes and anticipation, would
take the first train home, and tell
everybody he saw on the road
what a hard country the west
was, and make it fully as bad or
worse than the cowmen did.
That is the information the
"nester" got.
The facts in the case would in
variably be these: The prairie
would be covered with luXuriant
grasses the most nutitiouS on
the cOntinent-the cattle fat and
sleek, with an SO or 90 per cent
calf crop; vegetables, fruits and
grapes of the best quality at the
ranch headquarters, where the
owner of the ranch would allow
them planted. In most instan-
ces the ranchmen refused to let
anything of the kind be planted,
for fear some "woolly" might
come along and see it growing
and want to move out and file on
four sections. Feed crops have
always yielded abundantly here
when planted. 1t not being nee
essary to feed in winter, and the
ranchman a little skeptical in re
gard to developing the agricultu-
raj resources, the cowboys gen
orally all being up with their
farming before they came here,
the consequences were that there
was quite limited amount of
farming done, and even that in a
very careless and unconcerned |
fashion.
| have seen Kaffir corn planted |
and never touched again till har-
vested that made 30 to 90 bush |
els per acre.
Sometimes one of these pros
pectors would be nervy enough |
to come out and investigate for
himself. The ranchman and his
cowboys generally found out
pretty soon what kind of stuff he
was made of, and if they decided
he had come to stay and they
failed with their different meth
ods) to develop a case of home
sickness on the said "woolly"
they would make things a little
more pleasant for him, and in
the course of a year or two he
would develop into small ranch
man and join the ranks of the
cowmen and help discourage the
next "woolly" that came along
prospecting for school land.
The cowboys played very
conspicuous part in keeping the
hester" out, which was nothing
more than natural, as they didn't
take to the idea Of giving up their
lariat. saddle and spurs and the
