OF all kinds Is being retained at the

rates excessive and so far there has
been no difficulty in getting accom-

of visitors to the conference viii be
larger tomorrow than on any other
day. Secretary Beggs Is keeping a
list Of all places offered and desires
all houskeepers who can and who
have not already done so to call up
the Chamber OF Commerce today TO

corners, the Chamber Of Commerce
is clearing house for baggage and
supplies awaiting room for visitors.

arc at the disposal Of visitors who
wish to write letters. Information
about the present future greatness
OF Amarillo and the Panhandle Is OF

already asking questions about this
country.
