ANOTHER PRIVATE PARK.
Sight Selected on Canyons for Club
Grounds in this County.

If the Government of the
United State ever wants to es-
tablish a National Park out of
the Palo Duro Canyon in this
county the officials had better be
moving around. There are al
ready two private club grounds
with large bodies of lands con-
tanned therein, and this week
arrangements have been made for
the establishment of another.
l.. A. Wells and others of
Amarillo this week purchased
$50 acres of lard out of Sections
20 and II, in Block 6, |. e. G.. n.
lands with the intention of es-
tablishing the most beautiful
club grounds in the Southwest.
They have already let the con-
tract for the building of a large
dam and will, as soon as possible
build a modern, up to date club
house, keepers house and other
improvements that will be
necessary for the proper develop
ment
The present PalO Duro Club
has passed the point where it
can accommodate any others, its
stock having been limited to 100
shares and that has gone from
$4,000 to S350.00 to $4,000 per
share. Not any for sale at
these prices. Judging from the
statements of those who know
it appears that Mr.. Wells and
his associates have secured the
last available place near Amaril'
10 for the establishing of such an
enterprise. 1t has wild, beauti
full and varied scenery and an
abundance of fine water and
after the dam as proposed has
been completed they will have
the finest fishing grounds on the
Palo DurO.

fortune and taste in securing
life partner. May their pathway
be smoothe and thornless down
life's rugged hill is the kind
wish of the Echo.
We take the following from a
scrap book kept by Mrs. John
Knight of this city, the article
having been published in the
Canyon City Echo under date of
January 81, 1891:
LO, THE POOR INDIAN.
Some fool started the report
that a gang of Indians number
ing about five hundred stamped,
ed from the nation and struck
Saulsberry AL spraddled out"
and painted the town crimson by
killing twenty-Odd and burning
the town on last Thursday night.
When the report first reached
Canyon the people here gave it
little or so credit, but as blood
curdling reports kept coming in
our people commenced to take
things more serious, and when
the stage driver arrived here
Saturday at 10 a. III. he told the
thing more Scarry and said that
the reports reached Amarillo
just before he left that the Rang
ers were fighting the Indians
and that two or three of the
Rangers had been killed. He
further said that the red skins
were making for the Tule and
would very likely cross the can
mons at this place. The story
was then believed by all of our
citizens and they began to get
ready to fight Indians. Run
ners were sent out in all direct
ions and by three o'clock in the
afternoon the town was alive
with armed men-the women and
children being placed in the
court house as a place of safety.
Heavy timber was secured and a
breast works made on all sides
and the men walked around town
for the little thing to take
place. In the mean time Sher-
itf Wise and James Patton were
dispatched to Amarillo to find out
any thing they could in regard
to the way the Indians were
moving. They returned home
about sun down and reported the
whole thing a farce and without
word of truth in the report.
Our citizens then stacked arms
and once more breathed easy.
Quite number of men took
their wives and children to ANA
rillO. Everybody was badly
scared and there is no use deny
ing the fact. 1t is a strange
thing how reports can get out
and be carried so far without
any foundation whatever.

menced coming in early in the
morning and when the trains
began to arrive more people
were added to the crowd until
the sidewalks around the square
and adjoining streets looked like
those of a large city.
These people came to celebrate
an occasion which is and will be
memorable in the history of Ran
dali county, the setting of the
corner stone of the new court
house now being erected.
There comes a time in the his
tory of every new country when
it must pass from the period of
slow, easy going ranch and COW
man to the enterprising, hustling
and Woodworking farmer and
agriculturist. Randall county
has come to this point and peo-
pie from Plainview, Tulia, Here
ford, Amarillo and all the ad-
Joining counties came to our city
that day for the purpose of help
ing us celebrate, and right well
it was done.
The morning was devoted to a
band concert on the site Of the
court house, the Canyon City
Cornet band furnishing the mu-
sic for the entire occasion. Many
remarks were heard about the
good class of music which the
band furnished.
At twelve o'clock those large
and heavy laden baskets began to
appear and the long table which
had been erected in the shade
on the south side of the court
house began to groan with the
burden of good things to eat.
Then came that good meat,
bread, coffee and pickles which
the Canyon City Lodge of Ma
sons had prepared for the oc-
casion. Special remark should
be made as to the quality of the
meat. which was the finest and
best cooked this reporter has
ever seen for a public occasion
Say, the fellow, if there. is any
such, that says it is hard to get
any thing to eat in Texas, hao
better go away back and 81,
down. He has no business in
Canyon City especially on an ac
casion of this kind. There was
an abundance of everything tha
a person could wish for and i
the crowd present would have
tried to eat it all the crow(
would have been groaning insteat
of the tables.
At |: 30 O'Clock, under the dir
ection of Judge J. n. Browning

There was full turnout of tn
members of the local lodge an
visiting members from man

from other states, there being
according to the best infOrmatio
that this reporter could gel

ted among the Masons. Afte
the ceremony Judge Browning
addressed the multitude whic
was short, well worded, practiC
al and was much enjoyed by TIN
people.

ton of the Randall County News,
the latest edition of the Canyon
City News before the name was
changed, and a copy of the Can
yon City News which was issued
as Il special edition were enclOs-
ed so that the people of future
generations when the building is
demolished for larger struct-
ure, may have some relics Of the
occasion as well as have some
mention of the current events of
this time.
We would like very much to
publish many of the items which
have been heretofore published
in the columns of this paper by
former editors as they would be
of great interest to the people
showing them some of the hap
penings of former days. But to
do this we have not space.
The court house of this county
which has been moved onto West
Houston street has been the
scene of many different meetings,
trials, political arguments and
various other public affairs.
1t might be interesting to note
that Mr.. and Mrs. John Knight
of this city were the first to be
married in the city, and that
they were married in the old
court house which has beer
moved away. They were married
on Sunday afternoon, March 1st

GIRLS ON THE STAGE.
Hard Work, Poor Pay and Almost Ger.
 tain Failure.

Harris Martin Lyon in Broadway Mag
 aZine.
 The average girl who goes on the stage can figure on working something like four years before she gets any where. During that time her salary probably will never exceed $50 a week, when she is working. Some years she may get one or two weeks work; in full season she may get 35 weeks work out of a year.
 Fifty dollars week sounds like a great deal of money; but out of it comes the money for dresses, hats shoes-and these bills, in spite of ones cleverness, are never small. Out of it also comes living expenses, as high in New York as on the road, and possibly higher At best, there is only choice between medium and secondclass ho- tels for the $50 actress.
 One woman 1 know came out of a mid-western stock company, battered at the gates, got into small part, played small parts for three seasons, starved last season, and is now a seam

SHE SAID SkIDO0
 TO THE FAT BUGABOO

Fat people are usually jolly They seem to take it for granted that nature has allotted to them an extra portion of good weight. They seem to enjoy the extra apportionment of wobbly, strengthless fat. As a matter of fact they don't do anything of the kind. Most of them would undergo hardship to train down to com fortable size and weight, and many of them have attempted strenuous exercise and diet, but after a brief experience have returned to the old way. The hu- fnane and modern method of losing super fluous fat is to improve the assimila- tion of the food and better the condi- tion of the blood which is responsible for the creation of fat cells.
 One of the most reliable and most eff fective prescriptions is being used with marvellous results by fat people who de- sire to attain a comfortable and more attractive appearance. The formula Is as follows: h ounce Marmola, 1s ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic and 31s ounces Syrup Simplex; to be taken one teaspoon full after meals and before bedtime. All good druggists fill the Marmola Prescrip- tion at trifing cost, but be sure you get the Marmola and not some cheap substi- ute.

 also with Hacsett, worried along through moderate salaries and the
 bullyragging of these eminent heroes, and at last gave it all up as bad job.

 Another worked up through a stock company to a good place with Nat Goodwin, thence to leading lady of a good road show"-at no time did she Iget more than $50 a week-and she is
 now writing light-headed interviews for daily newspaper. Two others know who are on newspapers; hun dred others scattered here, there, and nowhere, in a hundred different busi- nesses, save "the" business, as the actors profession is always called, They will never go back-that is, they
 say they never will. The stage rob
 bed them of their young years, their
 best years. It taught them great deal, it is true, but it robbed them, and it robbed them unmercifully A sensible girl who reads this will
 find moral: Don't go on the stage. If you merely wish to sing and dance, it does not matter much one way or the otl-er whether you get behind the foot lights or not.
 But if you think you have a per soaality" if you think you are CD ann bilious, CD talented, or ca magnetic, then marry the boy who comes around to the front parlor four times a week and all day Sunday, and learn how to cook.
