This Section Has an Average Annual Rainfall
Of Tweny-Four Inches and Pro-

mere WAS JuSulIlcdulOn IOf unlS
In positive posters this section
of the agricultural display had
issued a challenge tn the world
early in the Fair. The challenge
had been noted by the rest and
the work of the judges was fol
lowed with keen interest. And
yesterday it was evident that the
Panhandle had made good. II
had all sorts of tirsts and seconds
in fruits and vegetables.
Counties shown in separate ex.
hibit are Briscoe, Donley, Floyd,
Swisher and Hale. In addition
there are exhibits from the ANA.
rillo country, including Potter
and Randall counties, and from
the Dalhart country, principally
from Dallam county, with some
offerings from Hartley county.
From these exhibits it seems
that there is nothing this great
section can not produce, and
that in abundance. 1t was es-
pecially pleasing to this delega-
ton that the products had been
compared with those from the
irrigation country and had won,
in each case where it made win
nings, against the watered land.
The Panhandle section has an
average rainfall of about twenty
four inches. 1t falls mostly in
the spring and summer. But it
has endless sunshine and the
vegetation and fruits have high
color and deep flavor as the re-
suit. Corn is declared to be
both well developed and free
from weevil and in the cotton
the boil weevil has never APP
peared and the worm is scarce.
Briscoe county took first on
Katfir corn. Along with it are
twelve varieties of corn, high
grade hard wheat, three varieties
of oats, all of the common and
some of the uncommon garden
products and from the orchards
are shown apples of ten varieties,
peaches of six kinds, three sorts
of cherries, figs, plums and
pears. Peanuts for the nut and
for the hay flourish. Walnuts
and other nuts, on trees planted
there, are already abundant and
commercially valuable.
Donley county, with a like ar
ray, took first on turnips. It's
sugar beets rank high and its
cotton of fair staple and many
bolls, making minimum of half
a bale to the acre, is pestless.
The Amarillo country adds
celery to the list and has berries
of several varieties, including the
strawberry, the blackberry and
the gooseberry. In this, too, the
fruit is luscious and large.
The Dalhart country takes the
first in its great hard -shelled |
or kershaw. 1t takes
first in its Arkansaw Black ap-
pies and second in its apples in
any class. 1t has first in sor-
ghum molasses.
Floyd has fine array of these
several varieties of products and |
along with them some prize soft
wheat. 1t boasts of the best of
water, artesian in kind, useful
for all purposes, including the |
nourishing of vegetation and |
flowers.
Swisher county has first in
oats, seventy bushels to the acre
and fortytwo pounds to the
bushel. 1t has second in barley,
first in cabbage, large and com
pact of head; second in milo
maize, second in hubbard squash,
second in potatoes. Along with
this it seems to produce all that
other places offer.
The Randall County news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1908-1926, 1908-10-30

We hav'nt seen nearly all the
property owners but we are see
ing them as rapidly as we pos
sibly can. This committee is
composed of very busy men and
we have to work whenever we
have the opportunity. We ex-
pect to raise the amount and
will raise it, but every citizen of
the town must help. There are
yet some large owners who we
have not seen.
Speaking further about the
matter Judge Brandon said that
if there were any people in this
town who were opposed to the
building of the railroad into this
city they should have spoken
when the matter was first
broached, and now, since the
matter was in its present condi-
ton, should not raise howl and
not help, Canyon City is not the
only town in the world. There
are others and they are reaching
out for these railroads. Smaller
towns and hamlets are raising
and have raised much more than
is required of us.
Don't depend on the soliciting
committee too much. We want
every man in, this county to act
and do as if he were member
of this committee and not only
come in and make their own sub
scription, but also bring others
who have not subscribed. If
they will do this we will raise
everything we need within
week. We have talked enough
and the time has now come
when we MUST Do SOME
THING. We want every man
to help and help right now.
Judge j. G. Hunt was intro.
duced and spoke feelingly for
about ten minutes. He said that
he had been away from the city
for a number of days and had
just returned. Asking someone
what was the railway situation
he received the reply: Dog
gone if | don't believe that we
are going to build that railroad"
He said that he found the senti-
ment of the people toward the
much improved since he
came back. He spoke about the
experience of the people at Paris,
Texas, where he formerly lived,
where they went down into their
pockets and gave almost every
thing that they had to induce the
Friscoe Railway to build into
that town, and their property
rapidly increased after it was
done. Then the Santa Fe built
nto the town and property in
creased, after which time any
railroad building toward that
county was certain to go to Paris
n order to get the connections
to the North.
Canyon City is not over
Shadowed by any town, nor
should it be. Fort Worth and
Dallas are near together and in
a short time will be almost as
one. Dallas had the advantage at
first but Fl Worth has builtupand
that rapidly, just because it had
the ability and desire to be ener-
getic and therefore secure enter
prises. Every railroad built in
this county will double the popu-
ation of the city just as soon as
the building of the road is assur-
ed. Build this road and you will
see people hocking to this town.
Don't build it and you will see a
grand rush to get away"
Judge j. L. Beyans, of Atlanta,
was asked to make a few
and he stated that he
vas particularly interested in
his section of the state, not only
because he was financially inter
.sted here, but because he

House Passes widows Pension eIll.

Washington.-The house Monday
passed the Sulloway bill granting a
fiat pension Of $l2 monthly to all
widows Of honorably discharged sol
diers. Its provisions were first ex-
planned by its author. who said 1t In
volved an additional expenditure OF
$12,741,000.
He described destitute widows Of SOL
diers, who are unable to secure pen
Gions because Of some technicality re-
Rarding their propertv holdings, and
received applause when he said these
technicalities should be swept away.
An amendment was sought to be
added to the bill by Mr.. Fulton (Okla. y
making the pension $50 per month, but
under the rules that could not be done.
He. however, expressed his approval
of the measure and urged its passage.
The bill was further supported by
Bonynge (Colorado) and others.
Amid loud applause the bin was
passed without division and with only
one voice in opposition. The attend
ance OF members today was the largest
since the opening day.

Too lntere STING to Bury,

There is a certain little southern
girl who is very fond Of her negro
nanny. The nurses name is Sally,
and she is large woman, so she is
known as Big Sally. Ethel, however,
calls her "Biggie' for short. One day
her mother took her to a museum,
where, among other things, there were
some stuffed animals. Ethel was
greatly interested, and for many days
she did not tire of talking about them.
Perhaps week later, at the supper
table. after preoccupied silence, she
said:
Mamma, when Biggie dies I'm not
going to have her buried; I'm going to
have her stuffed!"

BOYCOTT 10 ILLEGAL.
supreme Court Declares Unions Can.
not Restrain Interstate Traffic.

not Restrain lnterstats Traffic.
Washington-Mond for the third
time within month the Supreme
Court Of the United States promul-
gated an opinion constituting laws ad-
versely to the contentious of organized
labor.
I The first OF the decisions was rem
dered January 9Th in the case Of some
railway employees who sought to secure
damages under what is known as the
employers liability law. making rail-
roads responsible for injuries resulting
from the negligence Of fellow servants.
which law the court held to be uncon-
stitutional
The second important finding in this
line was announced January 23rd.
when the Erdman arbitration act, for
bidding the discharge OF employees be-
cause they are members of labor
unions, was also declared to be invalid.
The verdict rendered today was in
the case OF Loewe vs. Lawler, the lat
ter member OF the Hatters' union and
the former hat manufacturer of Dan
bury. Conn.
The case involved the applicability
of the seventh section of the Sherman
antitrust law to conspiracies by labor
unions to boycott articles entering into
interstate trade. Under the terms of
hof nj iv{ -
may collect three times the amount OF
his loss if the charge is sustained
The union fought the case on the
ground that the law was inapplicable
to such organizations; but the court,
whose opinion was announced by Chief
Justice Fuller, failed to accept this
view, and in effect held that the unions
could not be permitted to interfere by
boycott with the free exchange Of COM
merce between the states. There was
no dissenting opinion.
The opinion of the court was unan-
imous. Chief Justice Fuller said:
SIN our opinion the combination de-
scribed in the declaration is com
bination in restraint of trade or COM
merce ar.cng the several states In the
sense in which those words are used
SA Tile dCl, duu lue dCllOu Gan Ue I1ldlu-
tained accordingly. and that conclu-
sion rests on many judgments of this
court, to the effect that the act pro-
hibits aHy combination whatever to se-
cure action which essentially obstructs
the free flow of commerce between the
states, or restricts, in that regard, the
liberty of a trade to engage in busi-
ness.
"The combination charged falls
within the class of restraints of trade
aimed at compelling third parties and
strangers involuntarily not to engage
In the course OF trade except on condi-
fions that the commission imposes;
and there is no doubt that, to quote
from the well known work Of Chief
Justice Erie on trade unions, In com
mon law every person has individually,
and the public has also collectively, q
right to require that the course Of
trade should be kept free from unrea-
sonable obstruction"
