Lack of railroad facilities and
an indisposition Of the owners Of
big cattle ranges TO sell their
land has retarded the develop
ment of western Texas, but these
difficulties are being rapidly
overcome. Railroads are being
built and others are projected
which are certain of construc-
ton, opening TO settlement vast
stretches of this fertile country.
The Stamford & Northwestern
railroad, which will be complet-
ed to Dickens county by next
fall, alone will mean the settle
ment and development of more
than 100000 acres. The ranch
owners are discovering that their
lands are too valuable for longer
use as cattle ranges and are

Live Stock and Agriculture.

The secret of successful farm
ing will be found in live stock, .
said Mr.. James j. Hill, the rail
road magnate of the Northwest
a few weeks ago. Our farmers
must learn how to farm. Every
year they are robbing the soil,
taking away and putting nothing
back. Every year the crops
grow smaller under that kind of
farming. The only redemption
is to feed as much of the pro
ducts as possible to live stock
and return the manure to the
land. The farmers of other
countries know more than we do
They have been farming for
thousands of years and their
lands are richer today than ever.
We must learn how to breed and
feed live stock--that is the Sc
crct. Establish stock shows,
and the whole country should be
interested in such events.
in 1880 the population of the
United States will be 200,0 900.
1t will take the products of all
our agricultural lands to feed us
and if we destroy the producing
power of our lands instead of
building it up, we will starve.
The future of the country de-
ponds upon agriculture. The
only successful agriculture is
that built upon live stock as a
foundation.
Mr.. Hill is right but already
the people are waking up and the
interest in live stock is evidenced
by the growth of such live eX-
positions as the National Show
at Denver. which opens its
Fourth annual event in the new
Amphitheatre on January 18th.

Let the people of Silverton set
a date, preferably some Satur-

counties interested and we think
there will be a response that
would be rather unexpected.
Canyon City is not centrally
enough located or we would sug-
gest a meeting at this place.
Issue a call, man. That's the
way to get after it. There are
things doing in the railroad
world now and we must get after
them and do it now.

venture the assertion that every
fifty dollars of the amount sub

citizen to locate in their town,
and for each five cent piece there
will be someone hear about Wich-
tia Falls that never before knew
anything about it. 1t takes
money to advance and money ex-
pended iudiciously is certainly

licity. AS to actual natural adj

that county beat a city block

There is no occasion for jeal-
ouSy on the part of other sec
tons of Texas. The rich, well
watered and timbered regions of
East Texas will continue to grow
more valuable, while the fertile
prairies of Central and North
Texas will for untold generations
bring wealth to owners and
greatness to Texas.
The marvellous development
of the West should be a matter
of pride and satisfaction to every
Texan, for it but demonstrates
the proud boast that ours is the

the most boundless natural re-

it in close touch with Kansas
