Men up there have already heard
about this packery proposition down
here" said L. b. Mitchell, this morn
ing In answer to a question. Mr.
Mitchell has just returned from a
business trip to Kansas City and
Omaha and while there he took occa-
sion to visit some Of the commission
men and other business men inter
ested In the livestock business.

Commission men and the bank
ers who handle that business have
heard OF this move down here and
are considerably interested in it. |
found that several OF them who spoke
OF 1t doubted greatly whether pack
cry here could get enough of the
kind OF cattle a packing house must
have in order to insure satisfactory
operation Of plant, Some OF the
commission men who were most ia
mlliar with the Panhandle said that
we haven't enough killing cattle yet
for a packery. But I told them that
they didn't know cond tons as they
are now, and they admitted that that
might be the case. They all know
Judge Nelson and they recognize him
as an authority on cattle conditions
here, and the fact that he believes
that the packery here will get plenty
OF killing cattle has great weight
with them.
Confidence in Mr.. Butts.
II found that Mr.. Butts, the man
that has made the packing house
proposition here, has many friends
in Kansas City. Men spoke of him
very highly both personally and as a
business man, You see, he used to
be in business in Kansas City and
his company lost about 100000 in
the floods in the Kaw river bottoms
and in fire. But that didn't disturb
the opinion the business men there
had of him. They believe that he
knows the business and when 7 told
them that he had gone over the ter
rltory and had seen the possibilities
for himself before he made the prop
osition for n packerv here, they we're
inclined to agree that the time has
come when a plant here will be a sue
cess"

CONVENTION

Inquiries NV Indicate That

Exceed Record
(From Tuesdays Daily)

"Oh, yes" there's going to be a
big crowd here, the biggest that has
ever attended one of the conven-
tons, | think" is the way Sam Dunn,
veteran cattleman and inspector for
the Panhandle Cattle Raisers' asso-
citation, expressed his opinion this
morning. Mr.. Dunn was for years
inspector here for the Texas associa-
ton, and is now joint inspector at
Hereford. His acquaintance with
cattlemen, old and new, small and
large, over the Panhandle and the
Southwest is equalled by few men
in the country.
There may not be such a great
many big buyers" continued Mr..
Dunn, "of three and four year old
steers and that kind of cattle to take
up to Kansas to put on that blue
steam grass, because they have al
ready bought their cattle and will
be busy getting them up to the pas
lures. But there are going to be a
great many people here of all kinds
from all parts OF the country"
Applications for Room Already.
Inquiries for accommodations dur
ing the convention have already be-
gun coming in and the indications
are that the rooming committee be-
fore 1t as the committees had at
earlier conventions. Amarillo is Of
course much better able to take care
of large crowd now than she has
ever been before, and the commit
tee will not overlook any possible
places where guests may be lodged
In comfort. The hotels and board
ing houses will get the first appli-
cants and after that rooms In private
residences will be filled. AS the cat
tlemen are noted for their willing
ness to pay for what they get and as
they go, it will probably not BE diff
ficult for the committee to get Of
fers from citizens OF rooms for rent
during the convention. The commit
tee will see to It however that in
no case are the charges unwarrant-
ably high. In addition to the res
taurant facilities Of the city, the la

C. h. HITCHCOCK
BURIED HERE
(From Tuesdays Daily.)


Yesterday afternoon the funeral of
c. II. Hitchcock, who died Saturday
night at his ranch west Of Amarillo,
was conducted at Llano cemetery
here. Rev. r. f. jenkins conducted
the services. Although the funeral
had not been generally announced
and few knew of it, a considerable
number OF friends here and in this
vicinity besides the members OF the
family were in attendance.
Mr.. Hitchcock's death seems to
have been due to injuries which he
received Saturday in a fall from a
horse. He had been keeping the
ranch this winter while his family
Is living in Canyon. For the past few
days he had been alone at the ranch.
Saturday night neighbor who
passed found that Mr.. Hitchcock had
been hurt by fall, and he accord
ingly tried to get the older man to
go home with him. Mr.. Hitchcock
considered the injury OF trifling Inn
portance and insisted on remaining
alone. The next morning a neighbor
who called at the ranch found that
some development either of the in
jury or OF some chronic affection
had proved fatal during the night.
Word was at once sent to the mans
family at Canyon and preparations
were made for interment here. The
funeral party from the ranch reached
here at 4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
and the interment took place at
once.
Mr.. Hitchcock was one OF the pio-
neers Of the Panhandle country and
has been on his ranch west of ANA
rilo for about fifteen years. Several
OF his daughters have attended school
In Amarillo and all Of the family are
known to many people here He
leaves besides his wife a family OF
sons and daughters, most OF whom
are still residents OF Randall coun-
ty. He was known and respected as
sober, industrious citizen and his
loss will be felt by many outside the

Kansas City Stockyards, March 16.
Cattle supplies last week amounted
to only $1,000 head, as compared
with $4,000 the week before, and
$4,000 same week last year. The
market gained little each day, to-
tai advances for the week 10 to %
cents. The opinion prevails that II
receipts continue light, as they are
expected to do, the market will make
u sharp advance next week. The
Lockhart steers brought $50 Mon
day, as compared with $5.45 for pre-
vious Monday and 1926 for the first
shipment three weeks ago. Other
Colorado fed steers sold at $4.75 to
$3.50, cows at 1915 to $4.05, heif-
ers $3.50 to $50, stockers $3.50
to $4.65, feeders $3.50 to $4.75,
stock cows $3.50 to 3.25. Utah
stockers brought 81 to $4.45, and
cattle from Oklahoma and the Pan
handle country sold in line with
above prices, top Oklahoma steers
$50. There was better demand
for stockers and feeders than a week
or two back, and prices advanced 10
to 20 cents, top stockers IS, feeders

Sheep and lamb receipts were

ball Park.
A good-natured and enthusiastic
crowd came alive to baseball yester-
day in the game at the park between
picked team under the leadership
OF Mike Hollander and a team from
the Pecos valley offices. Neither ag-
gregation was in exhibition trim but
both sides entered into the contest
with plenty OF so and the game had
interest all the way through Hol-
lander's bunch had eight runs and
the rallroaders seven at the end Of
eight innings.
The game was purely a practice
exhibition for both teams. Not all
the regular p. V. men were out and
two volunteers took places with
them About 400 people were out
but no admission was charged.
Next week the teams will probably
play second game and as both
squads will get into action this week,
a good fast game may be expected.
Another contest which is now in pros
pect is between picked teams from
the Eagles and Elks. Both lodges
have a number of seasoned players
and aside from its personal interest,
the game would undoubtedly develop
some good baseball.
