HOBOES
MUST
BATTLE

Hartman Hill and other big rail
road chiefs, have entered into an
agreement with the National confer
ence of charities and corrections, to
secure a national commission of va
grancy. The plan is to clear the
railroads and small towns of buns,
hoboes and vags generally, force
them to be sanitary, to earn their
living, or to disappear entirely from
the districts where the strong arm
of the commission can reach them.
It is estimated that "hoboes" cost the
railroad annually $2,000,000. They
infest yards, set fire to cars, throw
switches out of malice, assault tow
ermen and switchmen, break signals
and cause disastrous wrecks with APP
palling loss of life and property.
Here Is a brief outline of what Is
proposed to do: Strict enforcement
of existing vagr1ncy laws; urging
the passage of rigid vagrancy laws
where present vagrancy are insuffici-
ent or where no law exist; the enact
ment of laws everywhere making va
grancy punishable by imprisonment
at hard labor; thorough policing all
railroad yards, to prevent tramps
from boarding trains or lodging in
cars; establishment OF sanitary mum
cipal lodging houses and abolition Of
ten cent bed houses.
Strict enforcement of railroad tres
pass laws; appointment of special
state police officers to arrest and
vagrants; enactment by all
,ities and towns and state boards Of
health OF laws to wipe out cheap, un-
sanitary herding places for buns;
medical examination of all tramps
lrrested in order to prevent the
pread OF diseases, chiefly tubercu-
osis.
Spreading of literature warning all |
against distributing aims of |
God to loafers; passage OF laws max
ng II compulsory for lodging houses |
o give bath to all buns who want
bed.

This dam is not properly supplied

done nothing to remedy the present

IAN UNwHIPPED MOB"
Gen. Funston Refuses to Take Part

A recent dispatch from San Fran
cisco says: 81 must decline your in
vitation to have the regiment partic-
ipate in the Fourth of July parade
for the reason that they might be
jeered at by the unwhipped mob of
San Francisco" This is the purport
of a sentence in a letter from Briga-
dier General Funston, U. S. A., to the
Fourth of July committee, and the
latter body has been keeping the sem
sational episode from publicity ever
since.
The Funston letter was in reply to

A MISSOURIAN is SHOWN"
H. S. Sturgis. Editor Of the Neosho (Mo.)
Times. Gives His Impressions Of
The Plains from Observation.

In the NeoSho Times of last week
its editor, telling of his recent trip
to the Texas Plains says:
returned about two weeks ago
from three weeks trip through
the great Panhandle of Texas and
so many have asked me where |
went and what thought of the
the country that concluded to
write a short account of the trip.
There is an immense emigration
from the North and East to West
ern Texas and Eastern New Mexico
and it is more talked about, per-
haps, than any other part of the
great West. Ny trip was made on
invitation of Mr.. S. f. Roberts, who
recently moved from Neosho to
Canyon City, Texas.
Canyon City is twenty miles
south of Amarillo on the Santa Fe
and has about 1000 people.
In company with Mr. RobertS
and his bfother-in-law, Mr. John
Knight OF Canyon, we made a trip
in a covered spring wagon over a
distance of about $50 miles in twelve
days. We took along complete
camping outfit, tent, oil stove, bed,
ding, cooking utensils, etc, and as
the roads and weather were both
fine we had a most delightful trip.
Our destination was Yoakum coun,
ty which is about 10 miles south'
WeSt Of Canyon, and in going we
passed through the counties OF
Swisher, Hale, Lubbock and Terry
and in returning we crossed Hook
ley, Lamb and Castro counties. lr
this trip we saw probably every
kind of soil that the Panhandle pos
sesses, from the level prairie arount
Amarillo which bears ID natufa
vegetation ID speak''6 or except tn,
curly mesquite grass that supports
the long-horned cattle the yea
round, to the sandy sage gras
country of the southern part of th'
Panhandle.
The great Plains country ha
been aptly described as the Ian,

"Where the COW saws the wood and
the wind draws the water. 1t is
the largest stretch of level, inhabit-
able prairie country in the United
States, probably in the world. An
early journalist in the Panhandle
described one of the largest coun-
ties as "a solid body of land' and
this was literally true for there was
no running stream or standing wat
er in the whole county. At Can
yon City two small streams, the
TERRA Blanco and the Palo Dura
creeks, come together and form
Prairie Dog Town Fork of Red
River. Going south there is no
other stream until you get to Plain
view, distance of about 60 miles,
where Running Water creek is
crossed. At Lubbock, some 90
miles further south, is the next
stream. There are many lakes,
however, most of them dry in the
winter season, but full of water du-
ring May, June, July and August.
Although we passed through some
Sparsely settled country, crossing
on our return the Spade pasture
which is so miles across, passing
only two houses in that distance;
yet we were never out of sight OF
windmillS. In the dry season these
are the only sources of water and
we can imagine what peril the for
ty-niners faced as they crossed the
Plains before windmilS were erect
ed. The country is vast level
prairie, stretching as far as one can
see without thing to guide one in
travelling. The early Spanish eX'
plorers set up stakes as they 9Foss
ed to guide them on their return,
hence it was called the Llano ESta-
cado or Staked Plains,

Commissioners Court.

Held IL special session Monday
and Tuesday. Among other
things that were good the court
provided for cement walks east,
west, north and south from the
court house to the street and for
a fourteen foot windmill over the
public well.
The tax collectors report was
approved in all except his show
ing on the delinquent list. In this
matter it was the expressed opin-
ion of the court that closer col
lectiOnS should be made and it
was so ordered.
The court also considered the
adviSability of reSeating the dis
trict court room and the final de-
termination of the matter was
set for the regular May term.
The News feels sure that the cit
izens generally will commend the
courts action concerning the
windmill and the cement walks.
Under the circumstances, with
cement walks all around the
square, such approaches to and
from the courthouse are essen
tial, and the necessity of the
windmill is self evident The re-
seating of the court room is also
a needed improvement and one
which, like the others, is sure to
meet the approval of our citizens.

view, distance of about os miles,
but there is no railroad in all that
stretch of country from Plainview
to the Texas Pacific, distance of
over $50 miles. 1t is in this middle
country, 60 to 50 miles from rail-
road, that the "cheap school lands"
have recently been placed on the
market, at the expiration of the
cattlemen's leases. Even here, the
land is now held at from S. to $40
an acre, with the hope and prospect
of railroad soon. This is where
the sandy country begins and it is
coveredgeneralIy with the mesquite
bush, cat-claw, sage grass and
little oak bush called "shinnery.'
1t is also full of prairie chickens,
coyotes and prairie dogs. In spite
of this it promises to develop into
farming country soon because it
has been sold in smaller tracts to
farmers, many of them the old pio-
neers from East Texas who have
always been "on the 'front.' And
besides, it is cotton and corn coun-
try, and that is said to be the "poor
mans country" because it takes
nothing but a pair of broom tail po
MES and a mould. board plow to
cultivate it. In the upper wheat
country it takes disc plows with
four horses and lately the great
gang plowS with traction engines
have been introduced. When land
on the upper Plains went up to $40
most of the original homesteaders
sold to real estate men or specula-
tors from the East and moved to
town to live in luxury. Some OF
them bought cheap lands further
South and are waiting for another
rise while the real estate speculat-
ors are bringing in farmers from
the North and East to take their
places. The only thing the Plains
needs is farmer on every quarter
section to make it as productive as
the prairie lands OF eastern Kansas.
