AMARILLO GOOD
PLACE FOR MILL

The increasing acreage OF cotton
grown in the Panhandle makes ANA
rillo an ideal location for an oil
mill, The stockmon Of the plains
have found cottonseod cake one Of
the best substances, combined with
kallir corn and sugar beets to make
a perfectly balanced ration and the
product OF an oil mill located here
will be consumed by the Panhandle
ranchmcn. with gins at Clarendon,
Canadian, Groom, Tulia, Plamview,
and other Panhandle towns, there
would be an ample supply OF seed to
keep an oil mill busy through long
season. That cotton can be profit
ably grown on the plains is no long
err a matter Of doubt. Plains land is
producing from one half to one bale
per acre and the seed is found to be
rich in oil The establishing Of an
oil mill here will prove one OF the
most profitable investments now at
tracing capital to our city.

this barely pays the original cost
plus the charges for freight any
handling, At this rate $3.50 or
twelve pounds will plant an acre and
most OF the orders which Mr.. Avery
Is getting are for this amount. But
many orders are for quantities suf-
ficient TO plant several acres. The
largest single order is from Mr.. T, d.
Hobart of Pampa, who orders over
200 pounds for use by a numbT
OF farmers near Pampa The orders
now on file are from every part of

but the committee Is confident that
every pound OF that will be placed
before planting time.

oREAT ROOF GARDEN
viii Be On Roof of New York Ter
minal Station.
From the New York American.

From the New York American
Representatives, of the Pennsylvania
railroad aud Fred Thompson, the show
man. practically closed arrangements
yesterday by which Thompson obtains
control o the roof of the gigantic ter
minal station at Sixteenth avenue. The
lease is b be for 20 years, and the total
rental $5p00,0OO. 1t will be the largest
roof gardn in the world, and in summer
will be Practically an open park. In the
winter il will be inclosed. The plans call
for an immense auditorium, such as ex-
lists nowhere in the world. A league
game It ball could be played upon the
roof ard the entire field surrounded with
seats Without fear of the ball ever going
over ne fence And still there would be
roomtto spare.
Thu roof garden will extend from Sew
enthto Eighth avenues and from Thirty
first to Thirty-third streets. 1t will be
twie as wide as MadisonSqu Gar
der with the width of a 6O-foot street
aided beside 1t will be at least twice
thu length of the Garden and large
CROUCH for the promoter to build race
track and hold quarter of a mile races.
While an annual rental of $780, a
YEAR may seem excessive, it will not be
when compared with the rental of Broad
way theatres. These rent for from $780,
Geo to SIS, 900 a year, some few small ones
at a less figure. In the roof garden
there will be a greater seating capacity
than there is in 20 theatres, and it covers
more ground than any 10 of them.
Within a radius of II miles the roof
garden will have a population of 100000
to draw from 1t Is planned to have
football games there in the fall, and in
winter an ice rink with hockey games
