TO CRUSH BOLDERS
FOR CONCRETE

A rock crushing plant Of tho most
modern type is ono Of the newest in
dustrics for Amarillo. Tho Gross
Brothers Cement construction com
pany have completed arrangements
for the operation of a plant and now
have the entire machinery for It In
the freight yards hero. Tho machin-
cry includes a fifteen horse power
engine with adequate boilers, and a
Martin crusher with capacity OF
eight tons OF rock per hour, The
plant will no installed on the Denver
northwest from Amarillo on land
which the company has leased from
w. H. FuQua.
The big crushor which will do the
work Is built like joint nut crack
er. The Jaws rapidly open and close
as the houldcrs or other stone is
passed down between them, It will
crush the hardest stone to a size
that will screen through an inch
mesh.
The materials on which tho com
pany expects to work are the hare
glacial drift bouldcrs known as mig
ger heads" These are found IN
great abundance in the knobs In The
Canadian breaks country and on ac
count OF their great hardness they
form when crushed a base for con
cerete work that is absolutely withou
superior. Crushed rock OF this
kind Is used in all concrete work anC
can be- made into a perfect macada

It will also furnish at moderate
cost the requisite base for street pay

here. It has been impracticablo here
tofore to use these houlders In an,
considerable quantity for concrete
work and the installation OF a crush
ing plant will utilize this valuable
natural resource,

A DAY IN TASCOSA.
Edihr Of Daily Panhandle Guest Of
Judge Wallace Yesterday.

The writer spent Friday in Tas-
cosa, the county scat of Oldham
county A number Of the friends
OF Judge wallace decided to accept
his invitation for hunt and a days
soiourn beneath the roof of his
country lodge. Tascosa Is a quaint
and romantic little town, Beneath
the wide spreading limbs OF massive
cottonwoods are a number Of adobe
houses, built by MeXicans years ago,
some kent up and some allowed 10
60 to ruin. The population has
dwindled from nearly a thousand to
about one hundred. But tho pic
tufesuuencss OF the place remains
unimpaircd. Located on the banks
of the Canadian, surrounded by ro-
mantle scenery, living springs gush-
ing forth from the earth here and
there, the crystal waters winding
their way through the town and on
to Join the southwark flow of the
Canadian, trees, shrubs, vines, veg
citation Of every kind thriving all
around in the fertile and well irri-
gated soils. all make a scene which
is happy relief and a pleasure for
one who for the first time gazes
upon it.
Judge Wallace, the host OF the oc-
casion, has country home amidst
shis scene of natural grandeur. He
has modernizcd the old Mexican
adobe, adding additions of rock, a
single roof and all other conve-
niences appropriate TO an age Of civ
illzation. An od-fashioned fire place
Is retained In tho house, which
proved delight and a source OF
novel enjoyment to the visitors.
Judge wallace is royal host and the
time allotted to he spent beneath his
roof fled far too fast His home in
Tascosa is recognized as the center
Of comfort, cheer and good fellow
shin. Some other time we hope to
impose again on the judges good
nature. ~1

PANHANDLE TURNIPs GROW BIG
Three Pounds and Ralf Is Common
Weight.

Approaching pumpkins in size but
having all the other characteristics
of turnlps were specimens of Pan
handle vegetables raised without ir-
rigation which have been brought in
lately. Editor Arthur Richardson, Of
the Gray County Herald brought in
turnip Saturday raised by one OF
his Gray county friends that weighed
three pounds and half and meas
ured seven and a half inches across.
He emphatically stated that this spec
linen was Just an ordinary ono and
that there was no particular limit to
the size which Gray county turnps
actually attain.

tablished Swisher county's right to a

COLLEGE LOCATION
DATE POSTPONED

The following is notice given by
the president Of the board of trus-
tees for the college which the Pres
byterian church proposes to cstab-
lish in the Panhandle:
Amarillo, Texas, Nov a. 1907
TO Whom 1t May Concern;
In view of the financial stringency
it has been decided by the board Of
trustees of the Panhandle Presby-
terrain college to extend the time in
which bids may be made for the To-
cation of said institution.
The exact date on which bids will
be opened will be determined later
and due notice of the same will be
given. l.. G. hlRhES' FreS'
Such postponemcnt is likely to be
greeted with relief by all the towns
which were applicants for the insti-
tuition. Under present conditions peo-
pie are not making large suDScrlp-
lions or mourning unnecessary in
debtcdness. The trustees Of the col
lege realize this and by making a
nostponement for a time will be able
to secure subscriptions greatly larger
than those which even the warmest
friends of the movement would be
willing to promise now. The trustees
and the organization behind THIS coll
lese proposition will provide for the
institution the best possible founda-
ton before il starts so that its use
fitness will not be crippled by the
uncertainties which usually accom-
pany the first years Of smaller col
lcgcs in this country.

A big trunk, checked to Kansas city
over the Santa Fo failed to show mp
at its destination and all traccrs sent
after IL were unable TO find IT, and
after every effort to get the trunk
had failed. the company gave 1t mp
and prepared TO settle claim for its
loss. Then in tracing up some sus-
poets in Dalhart for other olfcnscs
Sheriff Rubo Hutton of that county,
discovered clothing and trunk
which he believed to be stolen prop
erty. lie communicated with tho au-
thoritics here and tt soon developed
that the trunk and clothing found in
Dalhart was part OF the missing bag
gage which had been checked from
here for Kansas City two months be-
fore. The trunk and such of the
clothing as was left was then in the
possession of Bob Powell and his
wife, two Dalhart characters who
maintained that they bought the
trunk in good faith from the Fultz
brothers and that the brothers made
a plausible explanation of their con
ncction with the trunk.
In getting possession of the trunk
they took a little wood and tin af-
fair to the station, bought a tickle,
to Dalhart and had their worthless
trunk checked. Then they spotted
tho other trunk among the baggage
on account Of its size and weight and
tore off the Santa Fc to Kansas City
. check and substituted for It their
check to Dalhart No one saw them
at tho work and of course since the
trunk went on different road from
the one on which 1t had originally
been checked the swindle itself could

TOMATOES STUFFED WITH CORN
AND PEPPERS.

A delicious combination in vegetables
is this. composed of tomatoes, green
peppers and corn. Take the seeds from
green peppers, cook in sailed water for
twenty minutes, then drain and chop
fine. Cook ears of green corn in the
water in which the peppers were cook
ed and as soon as tender-eight
minutes will sufficient the corn from
the cob. Put a generous piece of but
ter in a saucepan, add corn and pep
pers, with salt to taste, and heat. Have
ready tomatoes, washed and wiped, but
not peeled. Cut a slice off the top and
with a spoon scoop out the center Of
the tomato. Fill in with the corn and
pepper mixture, cover with the tops Of
the tomatoes that have been removed,
stand in a baking pan and bake in
moderate oven. This is a hearty as
well as pretty dish, and one that finds
abundant appreciation for luncheon or
supper.

conclusion, but I have learned to add
that in order to obtain a healthy skin
over the whole body a woman should
not only eat fruit, but should avoid
wearing flannel next to her.
A fruitarian dietary, rainwater to
wash in, porous linen undergarments.
fresh air, exercise and sunshine will
transform a woman's face so that the
glimmer of the rudy apple will begin
to peep into the face and the soft rich
ness of the velvet peach will come in
to the skin.
In my opinion so much beauty is
within the reach of every woman who
will work hard enough to secure 1t
that ugly women should be banished
from the land on the ground that they
are either too lazy to try or too sell
fish to give up their hot teas and
strong condiments and blood-heating
meat dishes.
Happiness is a second essential. A
woman should be beautiful to her maid
and to her husband. who see her at
| her worst, or else she is not beautiful.
| A bad-tempered, fretful woman soon
| creates lines and wrinkles and poses
which are essentially ugly, and the Of
tener she gives way to her vice in
private the sooner will she lose her
apparent beauty which is only for pub
| lie eyes.
PURSUING AN IDEAL
/, A woman grows old sooner than a
Imam because she frets over trivialities
and every fret leaves its stab on hei
! transient beauty.
If a woman wants to be beautiful lei
her conscientiously lay before herself
some type of beauty which she thinks
ideal-I don't mean "the Gibson Girl,
which at the moment is every shop
girls pose.
And sooner or 1ater-sooner thar
most people think-the plainness vii
become instinct with charm. and tn
goddess of her ideal will emerge IL
growing beauty out of her old ugll
ness, like the glorious butterfly out o
the repulsive caterpillar.

You ask me who are the beautiful.
I answer that they only are beautiful
who are healthy and happy.
The longer live and the more 1 see
Of beautiful women the more am I
struck with the fact that underneath
them all there are traces of one or
both Of the two great factors-happi-
ness and health-and that where both
are combined you may get beauty of
the rarest type.
Beauty is not a thing of tiny feet,
ALI hardened with corns, or small
waist covering an indented liver, or
LAYER of powder hiding sallowness and
spots.
A beautiful woman is something far
more real than laces and fripperies,
and far more reliable than powder and
paint.
Health is an essential of beauty-not
the negative of health, which is mot
III" today, but may demand smelling
salts and a cup of strong tea and
dav in bed tomorrow-but the positive
health. which is full of vitality and
instinct with life.
Every woman ought to be beautiful
Tt is a woman's duty to be beautiful
and an ugly woman is a blot upon the
landscape of life.
have come to the conclusion that
women who are ugly are so entirely
through their own fault, and the faul'
is generally either laziness or selfish
ness
Beauty, like all other good things, Is
the reward and crown of goodness and
toll, and it is only given to those "he
work as well as wait.
CURSE OF INDIGESTION.
Dyspepsia is the curse of beauty, ano
a healthy stomach is the center POM
of a brilliant complexion.
I remember Lady Paget telling ms
once that her experience was that th'
most beautiful complexioned womer
were those who ate no meat.
NV observations lead me to the same
