What have YOU done for the
advancement of the town and
county? Have you in fact done
anything of a material nature:
Do you want to see the country
remain sparcely settled? If not,
why in the name Of goodness
don't you do just little more
than you have done in the past.
You know you have not gone your
limit in the work of advancing
your own interests. You may
indeed have your own home and
have it paid for, but unless you
can create a demand for what
you raise you are still beggar.
Would you not rather see man
on every quarter section of the
land than to see the large pas
lures remain as they now are?

PAYMENTS o. INTERESTS.
Large Sums Have Been Received During the
Week.

Austin, Texas, Oct. l6.-An-
nual and semi-annual interest
due on bonds held by the State
Treasurer as custodian was pay
able on the 10th of this month,
as it is on April 10, and this week
the interest payments have been
very heavy. There are over SIC,
600, 900 of bonds in the vaults of
the treasury, most Of which be-
long to the permanent school
fund. The remainder belong to
the university and other special
or asylum funds. The coupons
were clipped several weeks ago
and sealed in envelopes with
proper identification mark there.
on, and when the interest was
received on certain issue the
envelope containing its coupons
was produced and the settlement
made.
The total interest payments
aggregate 100000 on all bonds
in the treasury, of which some
100000 goes to the available
school fund. While the bonds
belong to the permanent fund,
the interest is credited to the
available fund. No part of the
principal can ever be used in
payment of any expense. 1t is
invested, and always without
loss. When a premium is paid
on an issue of bonds purchased
the premium comes out of the
interest returns. In that way
the principal can never diminish.
The available fund is that which
is used to meet the current ey-
penses of the public schools, be-
ing apportioned annually and
then monthly as it comes in.
Since some of the interest is
payable April 10, not all of it
will be received this month, only
a fair percentage thereof. How
ever, all of it comes in during
the scholastic year and helps to
maintain the apportionment
made out of the avilable fund.

ALMOST UNANIMOUS.

Barring a little unrest on the
part of a very few the railroad
meeting held at the court house
last Friday night was complete
in the sense that the meeting
was unanimous in the thought
that this town and county must
get behind the railway PROPOSE
ton from here to Silverton. This
being the case there is but one
thing for this people to do and
that is to get behind the matter
and push it to completion. The
committees having the soliciting
in charge have worked faithfully
and in a few days the amount
necessary ought to be subscribed
and we think it will, but still
there is but one thing for the
citizens to do and that is for
them to come up and subscribe
and not wait for the committee
to hunt you up. Delay is dan
gerous and we know it.

Land Sharks.

HOmeseekers and investors
coming to Texas should keep an
eye out for the land sharks.
Takers are to be found in every
kind of business, and the land
business is no exception. There
are men in this country who
claim to be land agents, but have
no office except the one under
their hats, and make it a bust
ness to prey upon northern and
eastern investors while they are
enrOute to Texas. These un-
scrupulous land sharks" meet
the incoming excursions and pre-
tend to do a legitimate business
when in fact they are crooks of
the worst kind. They are also
to be found hanging around
hotels and other public places
laying for some sucker" las
they call them to come along.
There are too many establish
ed, responsible land men in this
country who do a strictly honest
and legitimate business for land
buyers to be taken in by these
sharks, and the quicker the
buying public learn about these
parasites who go through the
country misrepresenting diff
ferent propositions in order to
make sales, the better off the
country will be.
Investors should know who
they are dong business with and
should for their own good give
these sharks the cold shoulder.

DID YOU EVER TRY7

Some people take the notion
that we have a location for a town
that Is the best in the state of
Texas. We grant that. Some
people take the notion that we
have the healthiest location for
any town. We grant that. Some
people take the notion we have
a law abiding and sensible citi-
zenship. We grant that.
Some people take the notion
that because we have the best
location for a town. a healthy
climate and a good set of people,
that the town will grow anyhow.
We don't grant that.
If this editor had been prop
erly induced he would have be
come a citizen of Randall county
long before he came out here.
One or two people had mentioned
the place to him but he never did
receive anything authentic as to
the true nature of the country
and the advantages that would
be afforded him if he would come.
All these advantages were here,
but he did not become a citizen
of the town until he accidentally
came out here and saw for him
self.
Did you ever try to induce any
person to become d citizen Of the
county: If not would it not be a
good idea to write some friend a
letter telling of what We have to
offer? Natural advantages never
in this world made a town. 1t is
a good hustling people who are
always willing and ready, indeed
looking for a chance, to say a
good word for the town and
county, which, combined with
the natural advantages, makes
towns grow bigger and better.
will venture the assertion
that if every citizen Of the town
will write ten letters, good strong
ones, telling the truth about the
country, to their friends in this
and other states, that there will
be at least one out of every ten
who will come out TO investigate
and | really think that one out of
the ten would become a citizen of
the county or would become a
property owner in it at least.
Suppose we try writing a few
letters. The country will back
up what we have TO say. The |
trouble is so many of the people |
are not as full of enthusiasm |
about the country as the country |
would Justify.
Did you ever try it, If not, 1
just try il once.

EVERYBODY GET TOGETHER.
The President Of the Commercial Club Makes
Some Excellent Suggestions for Behering
General Conditions.

cial Club of this city, recently
sent out a mum Der of letters ask
ing three certain questions, and
requesting reply to them. | am
much gratitied at the number
and quality of the replies, and
from these | am compiling a Sc
ries of articles which | trust will
be of educational advantage to
the people of our town and county.
The questions as stated in my
letter were as follows:
1 ta) What can best be done to
/ interest the whole of the people
of this town in the general vel
fare of the town, in order that
we may work together for the
common good:
(b) What enterprises or bust
ness are most needed in the
town:
Co What public Improvements
are most need?
1t would be Of great interest
to our people if I could publish
the replies in book form, provid-
ed they would read the articles
carefully, with the idea of obtain
ing therefrum the meat of the
statements.
1t has been my idea ever since
| moved to this city. that the peo-
pie We're not making a conscien-
tious. careful and concerted eff
fort in advancing the town and
county in order to develop the
natural advantages that we have
to offer. These natural advanta.
ges never made any town; Get
up and hustle has made a city
of many places with far less nat
ural advantages than we have to
offer and YOU have but to cast
your eyes at some towns that we
all know in order to know that
this get up and hustle" is what
did the work. No one man can
make our town. No one firm
can make it. We must all get
together, put our shoulders to
the wheel and each push as if the
whole enterprise depended upon
his individual effort. Not push
when others are resting but
push with the whole. What |
mean by this is, Get together"
One man saying a good word for
the town sows a little seed for
good, but if every person in this
town would make it his or her
business to be a walking adver-
tisement of the town and its adj
it would not be long
until people everywhere would
want to know more of Canyon
City and Randall county. This
is no idle talk as | have seen it
tried.
We are all good people, a citi-
zenship made up Of persons who
have ability, power and sense and
if we would become united peo-
pie, rubbing up against the icy
sides of our own individual |
selfshness, get together, become
a little more generous in dona-
tons for advancement of the adj
of our present adj
yantages, such donations con-
sisting of small amount of cash !
and a very large amount of good |
words for our town, you will see |
our town, in a short time,
anything on the Plains.
As suggested in one of the best /
etters | received, think that a
monthly rally meeting of the
citizens of the town would be of
advantage in accomp-
ishing the results that | am try
ny TO impress upon you. Let
he meeting be a regular thing.
Not meeting Of the Commercial
Tub, but meeting of the entire
citizenship, men, women and
and there discuss such
matters as are Of advantage to
