RAILROAD COMMITTEE.
Advisory Board Meet and Make Ar
rangements for Soliciting Sub
scriptions.

Last Monday afternoon the
advisory committee appointed at
the meeting of the people of this
county to look after the interests
of the people in getting the rail
road from this city to Silverton,
met in l.. G.. Conner's Office and
appointed the two soliciting com.
mittees for the work in this
county.
The committee appointed to
have charge of the work in
Canyon City consists Of l.. q.
Conner, George A. Brandon and
Albert S. Rollins, while the com
mittee to solicit the country sub
scriptions is composed of John
Knight, w. +. Bates, g. S. Bal
lard, l.. f. Cowling and c. O.
keiser.
Other arrangements for the
advancement of the work were
made but the committee did not
desire to have these made public
just yet, but it is sufficient to
say that they consist mainly of
manner of making the canvas
and the division of the work.
The advisory committee con
sists of l.. G., Conner, Chairman,
Geo. A. Brandon, Secretary, j.
G.. Hunt, J, NJ. Black, W. c.

and j. A. Edwards.
These committees do not de-
sire the people to think that they
do not need the assistance of
everybody. In fact every per
son interested in the county is
invited and requested, almost
implored, to do everything in
their power to advance the work
which must be done quickly.

THE PANHANDLE FAIR.
Annual Display and Fair Held at
Amarillo This Week is Success

Amarillo has been holding the
Panhandle Fair this week and
reports gathered from there the
meeting is greater success
than the people had anticipated.
There is very large number of
displays of products gathered
generally from all over the Pan.
handle and the crowds attend.
ing are large.
Those who have attended say
that the agricultural exhibits are
the best that they have ever
seen in Texas and contains sam
pies of everything that can be
grown in this section of the state
which therefore includes every.
thing raised nearly, except rice,
and our country is not swampy
enough for that.
1t is the intention to select
the best of these products and
exhibit them at the Dallas Fair
which begins on the 18th instant.
If this is done it will make Il win.
ming exhibit in any State Fair in
any state fair in the country.
Amarillo deserves credit for
the entertainment she is giving
as well as the large amount of
advertising that this section OF
the state will secure from this

SHOWING TEXAS.
c. R. McAfee ExtoIIing Lone Star
State at County Fair-Has Many
Products of That State.

G. r. McAfee of the Garrison
Harrison Company of Canyon
City, Texas, is showing quite an
interesting display of Texas Pan
handle products at the fair this
week which includes the finest
of grains, alfalfa, kaffir corn,
milo maize, fruits and vegetables
and gives great credit to the
Panhandle country.
Taking into consideration the
fact that all this exhibit was
shipped more than one thousand
miles and at quite a large ex-
penSe and trouble, the people
making this display deserve
much credit.
Among the things shown are
some very large sweet potatoes,
onions, peppers, turnips and
cabbage grown by John Knight
of Canyon City, Texas, who has
been IA resident of Randall coun.
ty, Texas, for Il years and who
has never failed to grow profit
able crops. They are also show
ing some stuff grown by George

stadt, who moved to Texas this
year.

RANDALL COUNTY CORN.
Sample Of Good Indian Corn is
Shown in This City
This Week.

|. G. Jenkins had on exhibition
in this city this week samples of
his Indian corn which he grew
on his farm, southwest of the
city this year. He stated that
he did not gather the particular
ears for exhibition purposes but
that they were about an average
of those gathered to feed his
horses.
The smallest ear of those
shown was about ten inches
long and the largest about twelve
inches. They were all filed out
and is as fine as any corn you
will find any where.
Mr.. Jenkins did not hazard a
guess as to what he expected to
make but his neighbors say that
he will make at least forty bush
els to the acre.

Efforts.

}. r. Blanton of this city has

year in different methods of cul-

solved the problem of some of
the kinds of crops that can be
raised here at least
In conversation with the News
reporter this week Mr.. BlantOn
stated that he was well satisfied
with his crops. He made %
bushels of wheat to the acre on
measured land, 43 bushels of
oats, and from six acres of mil.
let which he cut, baled and sold
products to the amount of S152.
Speaking of alfalfa, Mr.. Blan-
ton, who has charge of the Camp
bell alfalfa land, stated that they
had gotten four cuttings of the
hay this year and that it was
the first year for the most of
the crop. He averaged more
than a ton per acre each cutting
but taking a ton as a basis the
yield has been four tons per acre
and at the prevailing price of al
falfa as reported this week. $40.
