The counties of Johnson, Floyd,
Pike and Martin in Kentucky and
Mingo, w. Va, as well as our own
county Of Lawrence, should not
neglect to make the most of the
opportunity that will be open to the
Big Sandy Valley on Jan. 10th, in
Washington City. The future of Big
Sandy river improvement will be
very materially influenced by the
manner in which we go after an ap-
preparation this year. With Hughes
and Langley in Congress, and Ben
nett in full accord with them, we
have a favorable situation. But
these men want the backing of their
constituents. They can work more
effectively if delegations of strong
men go to Washington at the prop
er time and help to impress upon
the committee the importance OF
this improvement.
Public meetings should be called
at once and delegates appointed who
will go to Washington. The i'm
provement of the river is of the
greatest Importance to the develop.
ment of the upper valley. Nothing
will do more to hold down railroad
rates on the heavy tonnage thar

A Kindly Suggestion for Ashland,

Ashland is a beautiful and pros
porous city, but she is badly in need
of increased and improved hotel ac-
commodations A few weeks ago
the writer had occasion to spend a
night there. The room assigned him
at the alleged best hotel in town
had a ragged and dirty looking old
rug on the floor, an uncomfortable
bed, and other furnishings in keep
ing Herewith. 1t is believed the
entire contents of the room would
not bring five dollars if placed on
sale. The only luxurious thing about
the whole experience was the rate
charged. The bill was $t.s5 for
lodging and breakfast We are
moved to suggest the need of rem
ovating and refurnishing, or reduc-
ing rates.

Amarillo, Texas, Dec. "a,
Big Sandy News
After replying to a number Of
inquiries from Kentucky in regard
to the Southwest. feel that let
ter published in this paper would
be of interest to the public. After
having one years experience in the
Southwest l feel that may be able
to give fair description of the
great plains country
AS an investment, feel safe in
saying that a man can make money
by investing and holding on twelve
to eighteen months. Investments in
town property such as houses and
lots, are splendid propositions, as |
know of investments paying from is
to % per cent, l want to say to
my Kentucky friends that | think
this winter and spring is the time
of your life in Amarillo, as paving
will begin in the coming spring or
summer and property will advance
rs per cent. in the next eighteen
months, Everything points to future
advancement. as we are having the
rains and SHOWS that are necessary
to make crops in this or any other
country The SHOWS and rains OF
the last thirty days will almost in
sure whaet crop in 1910
also feel like saying to hustling
men with small means that there is
chance for you If you come to the
Southwest and stay few years.
But you are hereby warned to make
up your mind to stay a few years,
as moving west have found to be
an expensive one So. my friends,
consider the matter before you
make the break that you can not
gather money from the bushes, be-
cause the bushes are not here.
When you come to the Panhandle
of Texas you will find the altitude
1861 feet, and plenty Of wind and
mixed at times with dust, and oc-
casionally a very dry year, such as
the past one. But nevertheless there
is future for this country, and l
believe that the man that comes and
stays will win.
Here is to the common laborer
who makes his living by the sweat
of his brow. and has to pay $50 a
month rent for a house, pay 40 per
cent. more money for groceries and
clothes than you are paying in the
old State. Unless you can afford
to spend your money and time to
see the bold and treeless plains in
the Panhandle of the great Lone
Star State, you had better stay east
of that great river called the Miss
issippi. You may get more for the
labor you perform but you will no.
tice the above cost OF living.
This is from fair hearted Ken
tuckian, am proud to say, and you
may take it for what 1t is worth
