FIRE ON POLK STREET.
Little Danger But Much Work for
Firemen.

An incipient blaze in the new
Thompson-Webster building on Polk
street yesterday afternoon, caused
excitement on the street for a few
minutes and gave the fire boys a
lot of dirty and disagreeable work.
A fire had been kindled in part OF
the building which Is under con-
struction in order to dry out some
Of the timbers. The flames got be-
yond their intended bounds and had
started a serious blaze when they
were discovered by the workmen.
An alarm was turned in but the
workmen and men around the build
ing put out the flames in few min
utes with snow and water.
The fire boys, however, had strung
lines of hose to be ready to take care
of possible emergency. In the
state of the streets aud alleys yes
terday, the hose was of course sat
turated with Shiny mud and the boys
had the unwelcome task of putting
away this stuff without ever having
actually used the hose.

A LAND SELLING RECORD.

Average of 200 Acres a Day for 5
Years by Ansley Land Company.
A land selling record which few
even of the most successful land
agents can equal is that to the credit
of B. r. Ansley, Of Claiming, who is
in town today. Mr.. Ansley and the
firm of which he has been the head
has sold in the past three years an
average of 720 acres of Panhandle
land a day. The total acreage which
has changed hands through Mr.. Ans
ley's agency thus reaches about
100000 acres. Naturally Mr.. Ans
ley has large confidence in Pan
handle dirt and he is able to express
this confidence in very convincing
talk to all listeners.

TRUCKING BY
WHOLESALE
Amarillo Men Are Developing
Tract on Amarillo Greek for
Market Gardening

The biggest proposition in busI-
Dess-liko truck farming that has
aver been undertaken in the PAN
handle is that which two Amarillo
men, and an Iowa man, are deycl-
oping on the Amarillo creek about
llne miles west OF the city, w. f.
ions and +. Il. Sheriff OF Amarillo,
and Dr, A. A. Peterson OF Mucatlne,
Iowa, are the owners and promoters
Of the new project which will place
over a hundred acres Of fertile creek
NOTION and second bottom In gar
lens and orchards.
BY purchase some time ago these
hree men secured the tract OF land
secured several years ago Tor the
proposed Probst Baptist Chautau-
Lua, This tract contains little
,yer 157 acres OF land located in
Sbcnd OF the creek. Practically all
Of II Is tillablo and water underles
Ill OF 1t at a depth OF about fifteen
feet The creek at this point attains
good width and keeps a consider
,ble depth, It is fed from springs
and would furnish good supply of
water for irrigation purposes.
Water From Greek and Wells.
In developing their farming pro.
loct, the promoters will use both
water from the creek and from the
underlying water stratum. A gaso-
line engine attached to SOME form Of
pump for shallow wells will elevate
largo quantities OF water which can
then be turned to immediate use or
stored as the managers see fit. r.
rigation from tho creek can be ac-
complished by the construction Of
a dam at a suitable point and plans
for this improvement are under, con-
sideration by the owners.
Steam Heated Greenhouse.
Irrigation which is thus made pos
sible will enable the owners to de-
velop to the fullest extent the truck
farming possibilities of the place
For winter farming and for starting
plants for trahsplanting, the owners
will erect at once green house at
least 30x1O0 feet in size. This will
have frost proof concrete walls,
glass roof protected by screen, and
will be steam heated. As the same
plant can easily take care of a larger
greenhouse, 1t is possible that the
proprietors will begin with a larger
house. In any case they will aim to
increase the green house facilities
as tho business requires It,
The farm is located pt Nrobst
switch on the Denver so that the
proprietors can make immediate
shipment to the wholesale market
here with truck OF all kinds. The
orchard and vineyard part OF the
proposition will necessarily be de-
veloped more slowly, but next
spring a strip of land on both sides
of the creek through the farm will
be planted in fruit trees. These will
serve as start toward a productive
orchard and will at the same time
help to keep the creek from eating
away the dirt banks in flood times
