FURTHER EVIDENCE.

As more conclusive evidence that
the man from washburn wrote par
ties that the wheat was killed In his
country, and the oats was not com
ing up, we reproduce letter to Mr.
Montgomery. Of Pendleton, oregon
from the gentleman at Washburn,
which speaks for itself. He said
the whole story came about because
OF his writing to some other man
He seems to have forgot this, and
possibly some other letters he wrote
The Daily Panhandle spoke by the
card when It referred to this mat
ter. Here is Mr., Logue's letter;
washburp. Texas, June IA, 1907.
t. G. Montgomery, ESQ.,
Pendleton, oregon.
Dear Sir: You are right, the leg
islature gave the railroad company
permission to take up their track
/ staid in, Austin all winter and
fought It but Amarillo with her "in-
fluential' men was too much for me.
II we had money to fight 1t in the
courts we could probably still keep
IL. Amarillo gave bond to indem-
Nifty all who own land within three
miles OF the road. II It is not a
bogus bond maybe you can get some
thing out OF It. How much is your
damage on two sections? 1t has not
rained since Christmas and every.
thing has stopped. Oats have moi
come up and the wheat is already
ruined. We are hitting all the hard
places at once. Yours truly,
JAMES LOGUE.

WHY CAN'T WE HAVE A SPHINX
LER?

The Daily Panhandle would like
to have some one In authority answer
the question, why Amarillo can't
have a sprinkler run on the business
streets at least?"
Is II the shortage OF water OF the
waterworks company which holds
back the street sprinkler or is II the
failure OF some energetic man with
a team to realize the cash that there
would be In II for him to sprinkle the
streets OF the city?
The Panhandle does not think
there Is firm on the business streets
who would refuse TO pay 81 per
month for the sprnIklIng Of the
streets.
Yesterdays dust was something
awful and disgrace to a city the
size OF Amarillo, and would only be
tolerated In a little back number
town. Amarillo should arise to the
important position she occupies as
city, and should see TO II that the
streets are kept in proper condition
for business and comfortable living,
There is a responsibility resting
on the city council and on the Com
mercIal club, to see that this is done.
VIII they arise to the occasion? The
Panhandle has heard citizens threat
en- today, to take trip away from
the city, to avoid the dust. Must
this be done, or will the city council
and Commercial club see that the
city is tit to live in, during this hot,
dry, dusty weather?
II II is all the fault OF the water
works company, let them have the
benefit by letting the public know
where the fault rests. The water
works company has enough to be re-
sponslble for, but have been serving
a sufficient quantity OF water re-
Gently for every other purpose, The
Panhandle does not want to accuse
the water company OF being respon-
sible for the failure to have the
streets sprinkled, unless it is the
company's fault.
viii someone please arise and ex-
plain why we can't have the streets
sprinkled? ,.

tho land Is unfit TO sell 10 anybody.
Land that Is any good for farming at
all will raise more for the man with
the small farm than the man with
the large farm 10 able TO get out OF
H.
The following article, on the re-
suits obtained from good farming OF
a small farm, Is from the U. s. Farm
Advertiser. and Is most pertinent,
and applies as we'll in the Panhandle
as II will in any other portion OF the
United states whore the land Is
worth farming at all:
"sameone has said that the man
who has one COW. two dozen chickens
and enough land TO support them. Is
not poor man. II Is surprising the
returns which can be received from a
farm large enough TO support one COW
and a few dozen chickens. A small
farm not long ago sold over $500
worth OF products from one COW and
four dozen chickens in a year. This
man owns four acres OF land near st.
Louis. MIX sells for 10 cents per
quart in the section Of the city near
which he resides and from the one
cow he sold in n year $40 worth OF
milk; for a fat calf he received ≪
eggs. sis5. broilers, tllO,fruit&l si
Total, 1907. He figures that 500
will cover the cost OF all the feed
given the COW and chickens during
the year.
Four or five acres OF ground near
A good market, two or three good
cows and several dozen Of chickens
will yield as large an income as some
farms OF eighty to one hundred and
twenty acres"

1t is not too late for the farmer
to plant corn in this locality. We
have seen good corn raised in Iowa.
planted the 18th Of June, when the
season was extremely late. But in
Iowa the growing season is much
shorter than in this country, There
killing frost is expected by the
18th OF Sept. In this country 1t
comes much later, and even October
is a good growing month for corn
Plant plenty of kaffir corn, maize

THE SMALL FARMS PAY.

The Daily Panhandle is believer
in the small farm, as a money max
er. Eighty acres, we'll tended and
thoroughly farmed, is worth two
sections but sparsley tended. On
the small farm the farmer utilizes
every foot OF his ground, he has II in
the highest state Of cultivation, and
consequently realizes much better re-
turns form his investment and lob
ors. The man who has a farm too
large to get all over 1t, farms It poor
ly.
The Panhandle has heard OF mer-
chants in this city telling prospec-
tive farmers that II would
take 100 acres OF land in this coun-
try to make living for farmer
The man making this statement Is
either ignorant OF the conditions OF
the farm land in this country, or y
he we're correct in the statement

The following from the Miami
Chief shows that the wheat is going
to be a partial crop, instead OF all
loss, as has been reported from some
quarters: Nearly all OF the farmers
express surprise at the Improvement
made in all crops the past few weeks
and especially wheat. 1t was
thought the cold, unreasonable wealth
err in the spring experienced all over
the continent, gave the wheat crop
in this section such set back 1t
would not get high enough to cut.
But It can all but cut with a binder.
but many will use headers. While
some crops are estimated as low as
twelve bushels most fields are esti-
mated between fifteen and twenty
bushels. The grain is also said to be
unusually plump and fat. Best
promise for a wheat crop OF any sec
ton we know Of"

JUDGE GAYNOR ON TAINTED
MONEY.

The following very interesting ar
ticle by Judge Gaynor, on .so-called
tainted money, is from Bryan's Com
moner .,..
Judge w. j. Gaynor Of the appel
late division OF Jne supreme court Of
New York addressed the knife, and
Fork club OF Kansas City May %.
Judge Gaynor spoke on freight rate
abuses. The Associated Press gives
extracts from judge 'dayhor's
speech as follows: IVY ''a'''

est production which community Is

button OF the total product among
the producers. This does not mean
share and share alike, but according

or mental or both. Of each. II a

GONE TO THE WALL.

At last the old Chicago Chronicle
has suspended, and is no more.
There are probably few mourners.
The Chronicle had an opportunity to
be one OF the leading papers OF CHI
cago, when IL was established, but
IL did not take advantage OF Its op-
portunity, and while It has struggled
along as a wolf in sleeps clothing
for years, II has finally been COM
PEELED to suspend, probably after
losing hundreds of thousands OF dol
lars, II not millions for Its hackers
When the Chicago Herald was es-
tabllshed by Mr.. Scott, 1t was MADE
an independent democratic newspa-
per, and was at the time an innoya-
ton in daily journalism, In Its clean
makeup, news and print, and was
one OF the model newspapers OF the
West. Just before the campaign
where Mckinley was nominated and
elected, H. H. Kohlsaat, who had
been on the Inter-ocean, Republic
can, and the man who put up S1O,-
600 to pay Mr.. McKinley's debts,
bought the Herald at a big price, and
turned 1t into a Republican paper
swallowing up the old Times, and
leaving Chicago and the Northwest
without representative Democratic

campaign.

WHAT ABOUT CITY WATER?


Again the city water proposition
is one urgently needing the atten-
ton OF the city council, men who
have ,been elected to look after the
city business, for the people of ANA
rillo. |R|
Some time ago, there was trouble
with the city water, the company not
being able to furnish a sufficient
supply for the needs of housekeepers
and business places. The company
put down another we'll, and with the
increased number of wells, and addi-
tional facilities, so reported, were go
ing TO be able to care for the needs
0; the public until 1t perfected a new
proposed system, which was to be
abe to furnish plenty Of water for
all leeds, public and private.
BIT what Of the result? For a
time the company has furnished suf-
ficieuA water for the needs of house
keeper, and for fire protection, but
in ever other way they have failed
to give the city a good and suffi-
cent voume of water. The street
sprinkler. began the season getting
water for9he sprinkling Of the public
streets, BY discontinued, and dur
ing the wost part of the year, when
the weathe, has been dry, and dust
flying, we hive gotten along without
the streets bling sprinkled.
Now the seson Of lawn sprinkling
is on, and thecompany has not the
water to supply the property owners,
so that they hay sprinkle their
lawns, though he bill when rem
dered by the company each month,
is for the same mount as though
they were renderig a good and suf-
ficient service. Che government
weather bureau is attempting to get
nice, blue grass \wn set. To do
that, during this q season, It is
necessary to sprinkNthe lawn. The
gentleman in chargeMr. Considine,
tells the Daily Panhahle today, that
he has been ordered discontinue
the use OF the water. md he must
depend on the dry, howeather to
grow his lawn. But thSill for the

that they will punish the general
public by refusing to give any fur
Their excursion rates. They have
asked for injunctions restraining the
state from enforcing the 2-cent fare
rates. but in Missouri the state has
secured an order from court to COM

HEREFoRD's SIZE.


Brother Ray, OF the Hereford
Brand. thus exults over the size Of
Hereford, as compared with It's
nelghbors, Amarillo, included, In the
last issue OF his excellent paper, the
Brand:
"The Brand has contended for
some time that Hereford is the best
Panhandle town and now we are re-
ported to the outside world as the
largest town. In the 1907 American
Law Directory a list Of all towns OF
any consequence is given. In this
Amarillo Is shown to have 1000 pop
ulatlon, Hereford 5000 and Canyon
City 200. The Canyon City News
and Daily Panhandle will please take
note Of the advance position which
we are occupying with respect to
population"
We will let Canyon City, and 9th
or aspiring cities sit up and take note
OF their position as compared with
Hereford. at their leisure, we only
have to answer for Amarillo. We
are glad to see that our enterpris-
ing sister city is accredited with g.
900, and II she is satisfied with that,
we have no kick coming.
AS for Amarillo, she can stand
the rating given her by any publ
cation which has no more regard tol
the truth than the American Law
Directory. II editor Ray has quoted
the publication correctly, and w
have no reason to doubt but that h'
has. We do not know whore the
American Law Directory Is publish
ed, but suppose II is at St Louis
Chicago or st. Paul II Is to be sup
posed that the book is edited In the
office OF publication, and compiled
there, by the accuracy of Its reports
Amarillo now has at least $4,000
inhabitants. Every house In the city
Is packed full, little five and slx-room
houses having from five to nine per
sons to the house Take the mum
Der OF houses in the city, and com
pare with any OF the cities in Older
sections, where there are but from
three to five to the house, and 1t II
easy to figure that Amarillo has 49,
600 inhabitants, at least.
Dallas parties got up directory
OF the city last December, which
gave the population at 5000 at thai
time.
No, Brother Ray, we don't have e
look to any law directory for oui
population. We've got 'em and
there are at least 10000 and Il you
don't believe it, come up and take

lion; there was the blind woman
with a music machine, and the Grip
