CONSIDER Street LIGHTING
Council Street Committee Discusses
Position of Various
Poles.

Whether the Utah Light & Railway
company shall place its trolley and light
ing poles in the center of the intersec-
lions of the business portion, or suspend
the wires and lamps from poles placed at
the side of the streets was discussed last
night by the council committee on,streets.
Company officials were present with dia-
grams and the whole matter was threshed
over at considerable length and finally
referred to the city engineer for further
study
Councilman Tuddenham brought up the
question of new lights on the north
bench. He said the old poles of the COM
pany In the center of the street would
soon have to be removed. and asked that
the lights be suspended in the center of
the intersections instead of being placed
on poles as at present. The company
officials present declared that the city
would have to pay for this, as it would DE
a changing OF the location of lamps
technically speaking. This was not
serted that the lamps would be in the
same place, but suspended differently.
This matter was also referred to the en-
gineer.
The recommendation of the board of
public works that the intersection of
Third South and Main street be paved
with asphalt was adopted and upon the
suggestion of Councilman Carter the in
tersection Of Third South and West
Temple streets was added TO the order.
The work will cost 5000.
The street superintendent was instruct
ed to go ahead and tear down all fences
and walls that are built over the property

order first.

Amarillo Water Problem.

Amarillo is still in great trouble
for lack of water-even to drink.
The Daily Panhandle of Monday
referring to it says;
There is a problem which is up
to the city council and mayor of
Amarillo to solve and that in the
near future, and that is the water
problem for the city of Amarillo
There is no need of the Panhan-
die repeating the conditions
which have existed in this city
in connection with the water
problem during months past, it
is simply its duty to call the at
tention of the city authorities to
the present condition.
TO show the damage present
conditions are doing the city of
Amarillo we will recite q recent
incident which came under the
notice of the editor:
A gentleman of means from
Tennessee came to the city at
the solicitation of friends, with u
view of making investments. He
was worth over S15O,000, and it
was hoped that he might be in
duced to become a citizen. At
various rival points over the Pan
handle country and New Mexico,
he was told that he could not get
a drink of water in Amarillo. The
first thing he did when he met
his friend in Amarillo, who is
connected with a drug store, was
to ask for a drink of water. The
friend apologetically told him
that the water was off and he
could not give him a drink at that
time, but that if he came back or
would wait awhile the water
might be ON and he would give
him a drink of the best water in
the world. The gentleman wait
ed, or came back, but the water
did not come ON, and disgusted
he left the city and returned to
his home in Tennessee, where
quite a colony had become inter
ested in the stories of Amarillo,
and contemplated coming to the
home for the homeless, but the
stories he told gave the city a bad
reputation, and you could not in
terest a citizen of that locality in
Amarillo again

THIS YEARS WHEAT CROP.
Our NabOr. Deaf Smith County. has
the Record for Biggest Yield
Per Acre.

The highest record per acre
for this season in Randall county
is perhaps fifteen bushels. The
average for the entire county
will hardly go above ten bushels.
Our nabor on the west, Deaf
Smith county, has, perhaps, done
no better as a whole, but in sew
eral instances she can record the
biggest yield per acre. The
Hereford Brand, issue of last
week, gives one of these cases as
follows:
The Brand feels that it is use
less to further argue that the
Panhandle is a fine wheat coun-
try. To do so might leave the
impression that there was some
doubt as to the possibilities ofthe
country. But now comes more
evidence of the productivity of
the soil of the Plains. Fl. H.
Stanley who lives on the F'rio and
some five miles from the city has
just threshed the record break
ing wheat crop of the season,
making an average of 30 13 bush
els per acre. Mr.. Stanley only
had a small acreage, but he used
the famous Campbell system of
soil cultivation and gave special
attention in every detail of the
crop, beginning with the study
of the condition of the soil and
carrying out as far as possible
the method advocated by Mr.
Campbell. That he has eminent
ly succeeded cannot be disputed,
and shows beyond a doubt that
there has been sufficient rainfall
in the Panhandle to raise a big
wheat crop on every farm, if only
the farmers had taken the troub-
le to save the moisture and keep
the season for the use of the
crops.
