PACKING HOUSE
FOR AMARILLO
lFrom Saturday, paIlyl


Mr.. II. y. sanborn is in receipt OF
a letter from w. o. Butt OF Kansas
city, saying that he and others will
be In Amarillo next Monday and
Tuesday with a view to take up the
question OF packing house for
Amarillo.
II will be remembered that some
three years ago a move was made
by some OF our citizens TO secure a
packing house. Al that time the
probability OF success for the move
ment was remote because the coun-
try was too sparsely populated, not
only the Panhandle. but the Pecos
valley OF New Mexico as well. A
great change has taken place in this
section Of the country since then.
Amarillo has more than doubled In
size. thousands OF settlers have taxi
on IN their abode In the Panhandle
and in New Mexico railroads have
changed their routes and shortened
their lines; hog raising has begun
in earnest and indications in gem
oral are very favorable for the sue
cess OF the packing house propo-
sition.
But a few weeks ago our readers
will remember, Mr.. w, p. Ander-
son contributed an article on the
hog question, 10 these columns. In
Il he SGT forth some good reasons
why porkers can be profitably raised
here and could DO more profitably
market here.
Mr.. Butt and the men who may be
with him next Monday are not ire
sponsible promoters looking for
graft. Mr.. Butt himself is very
largely Interested In packing houses
in several cities. In Kansas City
his losses by the flood a few years
ago alone were over a quarter mill
lion dollars. He comes here to look
over the situation, and II conditions
are suitable Amarillo has the best
kind OF a chance to secure a pack
Ing house.
In all probably meeting OF our
business men and citizens will be
called to take up the question with
Mr.. Butt and II Is unnecessary to
advise our readers OF the Importance
OF large attendance at such
meeting.

THIEVES STOLE
THE WRONG TRUNK
(From Mondays Daily.N

VI lulu MOuudS . DdlIN,
Although the trunk and contents
have been recovered without serious
damage, the thieves who stole a
small oblong sample trunk from the
platform at the Amarillo hotel Thurs
day night have not yet been located.
The trunk belonged TO ]. 3. Culp of

A switching crew on the Denver
Friday morning found the missing
trunk down near the Mitchell broth
ers' warehouse west Of the merch-
ants switch, They found that the
lock on the trunk had been broken
but as 1t contained nothing more
valuable than samples of tablets and
stationery, the thieves left the CON
tents as they Found them, The
switching crew loaded the trunk on
their engine, took it back to the I'M
ion station and notified the officers.
In a short time the owner of the
property was found at the Amarillo

him.
The day before this trunk was
stolen, a jewelry drummer with a
trunk almost like the one the thieves
got, had been at the hotel So while
the miscreants we're laboring under
the $50 odd pounds dead weight of
the paper mans trunk, they were

have selected as the most feasible,
n tract of about 60 acres lying ad-
jacent to the east terminus of our
street railway line and submit to
you herewith a proposition in writ
ing from the owners of said lands
looking to its use for fair ground
purposes.
'Is is our Judgment that the lease

acceptance OF said lease proposition,
provided of course that the neces-
ssry funds can be secured to make
such improvements as will make It
first-class fair, with all that term

1--WE have made rough estimate
of the probable expense which will
be incurred in making the grounds
what they should be. These expenses
aggregate $16,1S3, including first

Believing as we do that no 9TH
er movement, costing no more, could
result in greater permanent bene-
fit to our city and surrounding coun-
try than a propely maintained fair,
we recommend the acceptance of the
lease proposition referred to and at
tached hereto. and the taking of
immediate steps looking to the or
ganization OF permanent fair as

essary funds"

The information and recommends
lions conveyed IN tho report led the
way for discussion Of ways and
means, II was pointed out that the
lease proposition would be the most
satisfactory TO the association be-
cause the association will be occu-
pied the first year In putting In per-
mancnt improvements and after the
first year the bulk OF these improve
ments will be IN place and the fair
VIII be to a certain extent estab-
lished Then the association will be
in better shape to take up the pur-
chase. on the other hand, II clrcum-
stances do not warrant the purchase,
tho association may continue on the
lease basis for five years and may
then make such arrangements as are
satisfactory at that time.
The fair proposition as outlined
in this report takes into consldera-
tion the fact that tho Glenwood
Amusement company will have lis
park Immediately across the street
north OF the fair grounds proper.
Tho amusement park will include
and accommodation for
the Chautaqua and summer training
school and during fair time will not
only supply much OF the side at
fractions OF the rair but will give
place for other exhibits and features
connected with the fair. The Glen
wood street car line would reach
both fair grounds and park.

LABOR LEADERS ARE
STRONG FOR BRYAN
Commoner's Speech at Lincoln Brings
Many ConeratuIatory Messages
from All Over the
Country

FAIRVIEW, LINCOLN, Neb., July
1S.-William ]. Bryan's speech of last
night to the members of the Central
Labor union of Lincoln, In which he
emphasized the labor planKs of the
Denver platform, has resulted in the
receipt by him today of large number
of kilograms from labor leaders all over
the country congratulating him on his
utteranceS.
The dispatch from Erie. Pa, quoting
Samuel Gompers as denying that he
sent a cablegram to William r. Hearst
which resulted in the latter's denounce-
ment of the Democratic party, has at
tracted considerable attention at Fair
view. There is no disposition to ques-
ton Mr.. Gompers' statement, but on
the contrary there is reason to believe
that an inquiry already has been set
on foot to ascertain If possible the
author of the cablegram credited to Mr..
Gompers.
Although Mr.. Bryan has reached no
final decision in the matter, it is very
probable that on his way from here to
Chicago next Friday he will deliver sew
eral addresses from the train, the first
of which will be at Omaha.
He has refused the tender of a special
train and will travel as an ordinary
passenger.

SANTA BARBARA, July 1s.-Maggie
Cavellero early this morning shot and

lay in bed in rooms occupied by the
couple for two years, because he re-

Two shots struck Sproul in the same
spot, the left temple, and his lifeless
body rolled to the floor.
The police believe he was shot while
asleep.
The Cavellero woman yesterday Sc

in exchange for household goods, say
ing she was about to go away and
wanted the gun for protection.

MACHINE SOLVES
FUEL PROBLEM
Los Angeles Man Is Turning
Common Mill Shavings Into
Splendid Firewood

1t has remained for Los Angeles
man to discover and patent a machlne
that bids fair to revolutionize the fuel
Industry, and undeniably cheaper the
cost of this expensive necessity.
The most worthless product or by
product known to science is the com
mon sawmill shaving. Shavings the
eyesore of the mill man; shaVings OF
no earthly account except as an added
expense of hauling them away and
burning them up.
These same despised shavings can
now be dumped into a machine, placed
under enormous pressure and tumbled
out into splendid sticks of firewood at
a trihing cost.
This device has been invented here
and patented in the United States and
Canada, and is now turning out sticks
of firewood at the big plant, corner OF
Ninth and Lawrence streets. The fin
ished stick resembles a thick branch OF
oak wood; is about three inches in d.
ameter and from twelve to thirty-six
inches in length and is so firm and
hard that a heavy blow cannot dent It,
The method of manufacture Is very
simple; the shavings are fed into
hopper; thence by a worm feed into
the heavy die of the machine, where
under enormous pressure the mass OF
shavings Is pounded and squeezed into
shape. A heavy grass rope which
forms the center hold and core of the
stick and which holds the mass to-
gether is fed automatically.
The wonderful success of these sticks
for burning quality is beyond belief;
they give an intense white heat, burn
ing slowly until every particle is con-
sumed and leaving no waste, dirt OF
SCOT; in fact, nothing remains but q
small amount of white ash.
This pressed wood stick can be
burned in the fireplace, cook stove
furnace or CRATE; in fact, anywhere thai
heat is necessary. 1t will go further
than coal or wood and Is cleaner and
cheaper.
Mr.. f. H. True, the president and
general manager of the Pressed WOOD
company is very enthusiastic over his
discovery and has selected Los Angeles
as his shipping point.
The factory at present is equipped
with machines for turning out six tons
per day and is under the personal man.
agement of the vice president, Mr.. F.
A. Cleveland, an expert machinist. An
other machine is being constructed now

pany to ship thousands OF cords OF

and will soon be known as one of her
most important industries.
