URGES PUBLIC
OUTING PARKS

well, 1t looks as II you had beat
en- us on the Santa Fe proposition, 4"
admitted John Hutson, the Canyon
capitalist, yesterday afternoon during
a visit at the Daily Panhandle office,
but there's no need for Canyon and
Amarillo to keep up any bitterness.
OF course We fought you on this
proposition and fought you as hard
as we could because we want all we
can get for Canyon and you'll find us
doing the same thing right along.
But in general we are all for the PAN
handle and we can all get together
and pull for the Panhandle. It's
bigger than any one town"
Speaking of the lands west Of Can
yon on the TERRA Blanco and the
Palo Duro, Mr., Hutson lamented the
fact that all the lands with running
water and with good fishing were
being sold to private parties or to
clubs and that the general public is
being shut out from fishing and
camping privileges. Although I'M
able TO indicate any definite means
toward securing public fishing ard
outing grounds, Mr.. Hutson urged
agitation toward such an end before
IL becomes too late, The national
park idea which has been on foot for
the use Of the Palo Quro canyon,
he Endorsed as being fine project
for the whole Panhandle and for
the hundreds of people who like to
spend the summers in this section.
Continuing in speaking of Panhandle
enterprises. Mr.. Hutson took occa-
sion to compliment the Daily Pan
handle.
81 like this paper better than any
other daily paper |, can get" de-
Clared Mr.. Hutson, land | tell people
about It. 1t has the dispatch news
of the world down to date and in
just the way l want II. It has enough
of the markets so that ! can keep
track Of prices and it gets to me
while it is fresh. 1t suits me much
better than the Dallas News or the
Fort Worth Record because it has
the news that | want and It doesn't
monkey with politics. It's the paper

England, July 10, 1883. She came
to America with her parents when
four years old and settled with them
at Eureka. Kan, where the family
lived till they came here last Au-
gust. She had fallen a victim to con-
sumption and the family came here
In the hope Of getting relief. The
change came to late, however, and
the end has been expected for many
weeks. She had been a faithful
member of the Congregational church

in tho new Alton-Clover Leaf-Min-
neapolls G. st, Lous-Iowa Central
system.
Relations between Mr.. Hawley and
r. f. Yoakum OF the Rock Island are
most cordial, Each has helped the
other to attain his ambition at one
time or another, and each is a prac-
teal railroad man from tho ground
up
The sale OF the Alton control 60
the Toledo, st. Louis e. Western was
done quietly and nicely. A contract
was signed and the deal carried
through without tho exchange OF a
penny in money
First mortgage bonds Of the Clio
yer Leaf are authorized and will he
taken in payment by the Rock Is
land.
Railroad deals like politics, make
strange bedfellows. Hartman, as
owner of about 80 per cent Of Al
ton stock, is now business partner
of Hawley, the man who denoupced
and threatened him, and not only
made good his threat but now be-
comes master Of the road he wrested
from Union Pacific control.
1t is now expected that Mr.. Hawley
will devote his energies to the weld
ing together OF tho new system, and
will graciously hand over to TIE
Rock Island control of The Colorado
g. Southern, and incidentally his In
terest in the Trinity e. Brszos Val
ley, when money market conditions
will admit OF the financing OF the
project.

New York, Sept. IA railroad
deal that has been under way for
some months has just been made
public in the shape of transfer that
will result in the control OF the Col
orado and Southern by the Rock
Island system. The Rock Island al
ready has virtual control OF the Trim
ity and Brazos Valley and the pres
ent deal probably includes the Fort
Worth g. Denver, which Is the Texas
branch Of the Colorado e. Southern
Negotiations for the sale of the
Colorado g. Southern were on not
long since but because Of the I'M
favorable conditions prevailing in the
financial world the project was tenn
porarily abandoned.
The Colorado g. Southern will, In
the not remote future, become a part
of the Rock Island system, was ad-
mitted recently by a gentleman who
is familiar with every step taken
by the Rock Island group. He point.
ed out that the Colorado & South
ern was the logical connection by
which the Rock Island might, by the
building of about 500 miles of road
from its terminus at Grin Junction,
Wyo., connect with the Hill roads.
This transfer would also give the
Rock Island which is now part
owner, absolute control OF the Trim
ity & Brszos Valley road. dominated

Continue all Winter.

By a contract completed this week.
l., X. Egorton & Sons, of Clarendon,

ried work The contract Of the Clar-
endon men begins at once and Is to
continue in effect till April /, next
year.
During this time, the nursery men

park. They are to break the ground
along the parked streets, prepare
the ground along the driyeways, get
the island into condition for plant
ing, and tten whenever lin their
judgment, the time is best for tho
work, they are to plant out the trees,
shrubbery and grasses. Trees arc to
be planted along tho parked streets,
all along the driyeways, and in the
park proper White Elm, black To-
Gust and willows, will be the main
varieties of trees planted. Tho is

made people sit still and hold their
breath while he went through a Sc
ries of feats of marvellous strength.
Just TO warm up, Wiohman began
tossing fifty and seventy five pound
weights high in the air and catching
them as one would a tennis racket.
Then with a weight in each hand
he went through dumb bell ex-
ercise He pushed up the weights
above his head and holding them out
at arms length as II he had been
using wooden bells.
The most sensational act was with
the 800 and 500 pound bells. Be
ginning with the 900 pound dumb
bell he raised IL above his head, rest
ed 1t on his neck and allowed It TO
roll down his back till he caught It
as 1t dropped from his body. with
the monster 500 pound bell he went
through the same evolutions and his
feat OF letting this bar with the
mighty weights on each end roll off
his back till he caught it by reach
ing back with his hands, caused
gasps Of astonishment from the au-
dience. Wichman fairly glories in
the work and seems to enjoy every
bit Of 1t, He has several other acts
with which he is to continue all week
at the White City.
