WEST TEXAS
& NORTHERN
Is Name Of RaIITOrd Projected
by Promoters From STAN
ton 10 Amarillo

Under the name OF the West Texas
e. Northern railway, with construc-
ton headquarters at Stanton, Texas,
company or syndicate OF promoters
is now developing a new railway pro-
Jet for a line across West Texas
with the northern terminus at ANA
rillo and with the southern terminus
under present plans at stanton on
the Texas e. Pacific. The southern
terminus is eventually to be, accord
ing TO reports, at some point In Mex
leo or on the line, probably at
Brownsville.
Just how much OF sound business
plan there is In the scheme 1t is
difficult now to tell Few people In
Amarillo are acquainted with the
proposition or its promoters and no
one here Is able to tell with any GER
tainty what backing the project has.
The territory TO be trayersed by the
proposed road Is the richest in West
Texas and the building Of a railroad
through II is only question of time
because the country needs 1t and
would make 1t pay.
The Panhandle Short Line pro-
NOTED by j. II. Ransom from Here
ford to stanton would parallel the
present project Ransom has given
up tho Hereford project and the Pan
handle Short Line has passed into
the hands Of local parties and OF
wealthy land owners along the line.
While IL rs improbable that further
construction on the Panhandle Short
Limo will be undertaken under pres
ent conditions, it is said that the
project has a backing which insures
its final construction.
The leading spirit IN tne west ~
Northern project is said to be S. G.
Bon Durant. professional promoter
who has turned his attention lately
to West Texas. AT present the com
pany is advertising for bids for ac-
tual construction from Stanton to
Amarillo, The Seaboard Northern
Construction company, with head
quarters at Stanton, is the concern
which will receive bids for construc-
ton. According to the advertise
ments aud to reports from parties
interested in the company contract
ors are to report for work immedi-
ately at Stanton.

UNIQUE TELEPHONE SYSTEM.
First National Bank Makes Use Of
Modern Convenience.

An up-to-date convenience in use
for the first time in AMARILLO is the
private telephone system which Tom
l.. Miller has just installed at the

wanted is made instantly automatic

bank includes connections within
comparatively small space the system
may be made to include many more
connections over an extended area.

Old Rock Island Bonus Case
Is Brought Into Court by
CuaHantOTS

Before the district court now In
session, II. l., stringfellow and II. b,
sanborn, as principals began suit to-
day against a number Of individuals
for damages from the non-payment
OF amounts subscribed on a bonus
fund given the Rock Island railway
when that road frat built to ANA
rlllo.
When the Rock Island, or the
Choctaw, Oklahoma g. Texas, as this
end OF the road was then called,
prospected into this country the cit
liens made bonus proposition Of
land and cash to secure the road
here and to get the division point
and terminal improvements. On the
subscription list for the payment OF
the cash bonus were many names
and as Is usually the case with such
lists payment by some OF the sub
scrlbers was very slow, In fact so
slow was the payment that at last
at crisis something like the one
this fall when the Santa Fo deal
was closed, the remaining part OF
the cash bonus, amounting to several
thousand dollars. had to be paid out
right by small number OF guarran-
tors of the original fund. Later some
OF the delinquent subscribers on the
first list met the whole Of their pay
ments but others for various rca-
sons failed to do 10 and several Of
the guarrantors paid amounts great
~ in excess OF the amounts which
they originally subscribed This has
given rise to the present suit which
has been contested through the
courts for several years, A jury was
fixed upon for the trial OF the case
this morning and the trial is now
proceeding,
indictments Being Returned.
The grand jury is steadily grind
ing away in its room on the third
floor and a number OF indictments
have already been returned. Ben
nett, the Bowery news dealer who
became involved In irregularities sew.

forgery on number OF counts and
will be tried at this term of, court
Thomas and Besing, the two men ar
rested last summer for the theft Of
the sneed horses, have been indicted
on charge OF horse theft and will
come to trial this term.
On the whole, the amount OF GRIM
nal business is greatly less than at
the two prior terms Of the district
court and most of the cases now
docketed are for minor felonies The
court will take up the criminal dock
et next Monday. II is thought that
all cases can be handled this term
without the crowding that has been
necessary at the last two terms Of
court.

AN ADOLF:
BUILDING
Being Torn Down by WOrkmen
For New Home For ANA
TIIIO EIkS Lodge,


Two years Of planning and work
eliminated today in the beginning OF
actual work on tho new Elk home.
This morning Manager Agee with a
force OF workmen started to. dis
mantle and wreck the old residence
that occupies the site for the build
ing, The men are working rapidly
and will have the ground barred for
excavation in few days. Skinner
& Gilcoat, who have the contract,
have made extensive orders OF mate
rial and wi1l lose no time in actual
construction.
Last Adobe Building.
The building being wrecked for the
new home is one OF the Oldest in
Amarillo and has had the distinction
of being one OF the few adobe build
ings ever erected here. B. B. Hayden
had the house built seventeen years
ago from sun dried adobe brick
nodded from plain Panhandle mud
which was stirred up for the purpose
in the west part Of town. 1t was
we'll built and when complete was
covered on the outside with a white
hard plaster that made It a unique
and slightly structure. 1t was well
planned inside and being built of
thick adobe walls, It was not subject
to quick changes OF temperature as
arc frame buildings. The faces OF
the mud bricks were too soft to hold
the plaster coating on the outside,
however, and after a few years the
plaster had fallen off to such an ex-
tent that the building was boarded
up and covered with siding so that
It did not look different from other
buildings except in the deep window
and door ways through the brick
adobe walls. After B. B. Hayden
sold II, It passed into the hands OF
A. NJ. Potter who occupied II as a
residence until few years ago when
he removed to "Woodlawn" in the
southeast part OF town, Mr.. Potter
owned the property until a year ago
when he sold it. to the Elk's lodge.
On the outside OF the building, In
the roof and In the interior, the
wreckers are getting much valuable
lumber and this will be hauled away
for use elsewhere. The adobe walls
will be simply thrown down and
scattered out over the yard. Being
made OF dried mud, the bricks will
crumble up into soil and will simply
serve to fiji In the lawn. The build
ing itself will occupy only part of
the ground and It is the intention of
the lodge to make the grounds at
tractive with shrubbery, flowers and
trees. The trees now on the lot will

damage during construction.

Skinner & Gilcoat have been
awarded the contract at $25,325 and
have five months in which to COM
plete the building This includes
sanitary plumbing, lighting install
