A Good Investment.

All we need for a good inexpensive
tire company is the ladders hooks
and buckets, the latter kind that
wont dent when thrown off the roofs
of the high buildings. The young
men we already have and of the
right sort too.----Canyon City News
The Amarillo volunteer fire de-
partment has been the means Of
saving thousands of dollars worth Of
every year since its estab-
lishment and the money expended
for its equipment has been but a
trifle in comparison with the service
rendered. Canyon City cannot
make better investment than the
purchase of fire fighting equip
ment. Expensive and elaborate
is useful but not abso-
lutely necessary. The main things
are men and organization and the
News Is right about that part of the
proposition.

OPERA HOUSE
IS ASSURED
Company Has Purchased site
7th and Polk and InCOT-
rated for $4,000
CFrom Thursdays Dally)

The Amarillo opera House com.
pany is the name OF new company
of local business men organized this
morning TO put into execution plans
for an opera house that will stand
IN the front rank In size. design and
equipment The company is the out
growth Of the sentiment that ANA
rillo should be represented by a
house OF the first class and has been
made possible by the undoubted need
OF such a building,
As the list Of stockholders shows
the new enterprise is made a public
institution by the fact that every of
flcer and stakeholder Is local bus
mess man. For over year there
have been various opera house prop
ositlons from outside promoters
placed before the people OF ANA
rillo but the promoters Of these in
most cases wished confessions made
which were not commensurate with
the service they intended to render.
The need for the building will make
the present enterprise a financial
success from the start but the rul-
ing aim Of the promoters has been
to secure the best possible building
of the kind for the benefit 1t would
be to the city Of Amarillo.

president William Lay, secretary and
the directors are o. NJ. Eakle, VIII
A. Miller, Jr, william Lay, A. Da-

stock has been set at $4,000, the

apply for a charter at once. Archi-
tect o. G.. Roquemore Is now en-
gagged in finishing plans for the
building, These will be much like
those described in the Daily Pan
handle some time ago and will be
given in detail as soon as they are
convicted.
This morning the company bought
from VIII A. Miller the two lots on
the corner Of Seventh and Polk street
and the opera house will cover the
entire space 6Ox14O feet by an ar
rangement with Sam Morris, the
owner Of the lot on the north, an
exit will be secured on that side thus
giving ample exits on all four sides.
1t is intended that the new house
will not only comply with every state
regulation in regard to buildings Of
the kind but that 1t will embody the
most approved ideas in opera houses

NO GAMES
AT PARK
Amarillo Men Will Work Out al
Their Own Gait This
Week

There will be no home games this
week and probably no out Of town
games so Captain Foy and his men
will spend their working time chas-
ing grounders in the new park and
learning the eccentrlcities OF the
field. There are st,ll some bad
places on the new Held md careful
work Is needed for some time to
bring II into flrsD-ciass playing CON
dition. The; pfoyislon made for the
faa5 in the new grand stand and
bleachers is the best that any park
has ever rad in Amarillo. but the
crowds that have attended the home
games so far show that there is need
Tor all the seating capacity that the
management has provided.
As soon as the management deems
it suitable to schedule home games
again, Roswell win be here for an
other series, This will be good news
for Amarillo fans because the boys
from the Valley City put MP the kind
of sport that pleases all the ume.
On their trip here two weeks ago
the boys played to bad baseball luck
and did not really make the showing
of which they are capable.
Owing to the embargo placed on
public gatherings for "a time the
management called off the series
with Alva which was to have been
played this week and the Oklaho-
mans returned through here Mon
day from Roswell where they had
played a series. The Okllhomans
may come back for a date later in
the season, The management here
will schedule no games til the au-
thorities deem it wis to allow public
gatherings Of every kind,
Although the series last week at
Canyon City was far from satisfac-
tory, both arrangements hope to es-
tablish peace footing and play
straight baseball The Marquis of
Queensbury tactics that have long
been in vogue in baseball games be-
tween the two towns belongs to the
dark ages and must give way to
liberal use by both teams of the rule
book and common sense.

In letter to the Daily Panhandle

controversy of the substantial growth

been the case in the real estate ac-

transferring of ownership of broad

AMARILLO TO
TUCUMCARI
First Passengers Left To-day
For 115 Mile Trip Over
New Line

Amarillo to Tucumcari In seven
hours is the schedule that will soon
be in operation between the two
towns. A. c. Carter, the Tucumcarl
business man who has planned the
enterprise, has put 1t into execution
and this morning the first party OF
passengers in three cars left ANA
Arillo for the trip to the New Mexico
bwn.
~ In the party this morning were A,
JR. Carter, and his daughter, Miss
Ethel Carter, w, +, Buchanan, OF
the First National Bank OF Tucum-
carl, Mrs, Grace George, NJ 7lendels-
sohn and S, Anderson, all of Tucum-
carl. This is the first trip over the
line in the new machines and will be
in the nature OF trial. The party
came over from Tucumcari last night
and took charge Of the machines
which had been shipped direct here
from the factory at Detroit, Mich A
REQ and Ford touring and Ford
runabout constituted the equipment
At the other end the company has
several other cars.
The route In the main follows the
right OF way of the unfinished Chloe
taw extension west and covers a dis
lance of 1t5 miles. Five postoffices,
Wildorado and Vega, in Texas, and
Endee, San Jon and Reyuelto, in New
Mexico are reached by the new line.
None of these reaches the dignity
OF town, but Endee is an old trad
ing point and has a store and few
other business houses. with the
coming of the auto line Endee prom
ises to become an interior town OF
some Importance, The auto line will
enable passengers and mail to reach
the territory as quickly as would be
cIe case by railroad and will also
allow the shipping of light express
from the railroad points at both ends,
Nearly all Of the territory between
the two towns Is fertile flrming
country and only awaits the coming
of better transportation and lines OF
communication to rapidly develop.
After the descent from the cap
rock" Of the plains the line passes
through some rough country. De-
scendlng from the cap rock the road
goes down the Maiaris canyon for
a short distance. There arc several !
small creeks to ford but the most !
serious obstacle to the route is the /
Revuelto creek. This is one of the |
quick sand streams and is of con- |
siderable consequence, Here the pro-
moter has had complete bridge |
built across the stream for a dist |
ance OF $50 feet with a specially de- |
signed track for autos, This will |
insure safe crossing for machines
at all times of the year. The ru-
lilo creek near Endee is quite
stream but has a solid rock bottom
and will not cause trouble,
When the regular schedule is put
IN operation next week car will
start from each end of the line every
morning. At Endee there will be
a relief station and one machine will
he there at all times to take up
the run Of either one Of the other
cars. The additional cars of the COM
pany will be kept in reserve. Fare
on the auto line will he $40 one way

The prediction has been made

For some time there has been talk

mas favored this on several occa-
sions during his visit here but no
definite steps have been taken. In
O recent letter to J. II, Gouldy, Of

views on the subject and states a
proposition to the town The letter
is as follows:

IN connection with our correspond
ence school at Lincoln We are now

are establishing this school to stay
with, and It is our purpose to put
three or four model experiment
farms in remote points one prob
ably in Colorado, one has been To-
Gated in southwestern Kansas and
the Panhandle or New Mexico is
our ideal of a third one,
ri would ask that deed to the

pl ccd in Escro in some good bank,
to remain five years and if at the

streted that we can not only raise
double the average yield of leading
farm crops that are grown by the
average farmer, and that we can grow
these at q large profit, or a con-
tract covering practically these
points with a clause that If we dem
onstrate the above fact then the
deed is turned over to us with rights
to handle the land as we please, 9th
erwise the property remain yours.
1t is our plan not only to prove the
value of scientific soil culture, but
to branch out into general farming,
dairying, stock raising feeding, etc.
This is in general practically
what we want and an early reply to
