WOULD USE WATER
FRUM RANDALL COUNTY
SISTER CITY OF AMARILLO ARRANGING TO
PIPE WATER SUPPLY FROM PAI0 DUR0.
Kansas City Corporation Makes Amarillo Propo.
sition to Supply Plenty Of Water
for Their Use.

For some time our sister city
of Amarillo has been having tC
solve the water problem of that
city and as it is a growing city il
has come to the point when ade
quate water supplies are absO'
lutely essential for the present
needs as we'll as the future
growth.
During the past week cOrpor'
alton of Kansas City has made
Amarillo a proposition to install
a new system of waterworks and
to supply the water from RAN
DALI COUNTY. 1t is proposed
to dam the PalO Duro about eight
miles northwest of this city and
then pump the water from there
to the mains near the city. AS
the Palo Duro is filled all along
with good springs this will give
an adequate supply of water for
the use of the town for many
years however the great growth
that it may have.
Such an enterprise if it is in.
stalled will cost lots of money
but the expense does not count
if a good supply of water and a
fine quality may be had. AS
stated the Palo DurO is fed by
springs and the proposed dam
will give supply of millions
upon millions of gallons of water.
1t would supply city of approx
imately 100000 people and the
water would be good. Accord.
ing to the proposed plans which
are still in embreyo the dam
would be built at point where
the two walls of the canyon come
close together giving short dam.
The dam itself would be about
fifty feet high thus giving an
area of water the full width of
the canyon and extending back
for about six miles.

PLAINS HOGS BRING HIGH PRICE.
Highest Market Price Ever Paid for Swine goes
10 Products Of the Plains Stock and Feed.

Again the eXcellencieS of our
chosen country is shown when
last week there was marke ted at
Fort Worth a bunch of hogs
grown on the Plains which
brought $7.75 per hundred, the
highest price ever paid on that
market for killing hogs. This
bunch of hogs was Plains raised
and was fed entirely on products
of the Plains, milo maize, Kaffir
corn and alfalfa and is an addi-
tional evidence of the superiority
of the feed as well as the cOun-
try in which to raise such stock.
Everybody who knows any
thing about the markets know
that when cattle and hogs which
have been fed for market upon
these feeds, are sent to the var
ious markets, good reports OF
the sales are reported, in fact IN
nearly every instance the stock
has brought the top price for the
day.

BIG ALFALFA PALACE
FOR MAIN BUILDING.
AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITS TO Be HOUSED m
NOVEL EDIFlCE DURING NEXT FAIR.
Unique Building Of Large Dimensions is PIann-
ed TO be Built From Randall
County Hay Products.

If the present plans of the
committee having in charge the
reunion and county fair of this
county which is to be held on
August "a to 26, do not go awry
there will be something of a nov
city presented in the way of a
building this year, something
that will be representative of
one of the great products of the
country as well as being of a
beautiful appearance. Plans
have been made for an exhibit
hall for the showing of the farm
products, the hall to be "A feet
by AZ feet on the outside, but the
principal attraction of it is that.
it is to be constructed of baled
alfalfa almost the same as would
a brick building. The design has
beautiful exterior having four
large alcoves, one at each corner.
The front of the building is to
have colonial effect with large
columns and fiat colonial por-
tico.
The size and shape of the pro-
posed building together with the
beautiful green color of the al
falfa will make it something that
will be very attractive and in ad-
dition will be large and roomy
and of good county advertising
value. The expense of con-
structiOn also will be very light
as number of alfalfa raisers
near this city have agreed to don
ate the use of the baled alfalfa
for the building.
Speaking of the reunion and
fair meeting one of the members
of the executive committee stated
to the News reporter that ar
rangements were being made for
the largest and best entertain
ment ever held in this part of the
state. Notable speakers have
signitied their acceptance of the
invitation to be present and ad-
dress the people on that occas-
sion and that the farm and other
exhibits bid fair to be greater
than ever before. That while no
premium list had as yet been
issued there would be a pre-
MUM offered on almost every
class of product that could be
grown in the country and that
means everything. In the live
stock department already ar
rangements are being made for
temporary sheds for the pro-
lection of the animals which will
be exhibited and good premiums
are to be offered.
Farmers all over the county
are interesting themselves in the
success of the entertainment and
when these energetic people get
busy everybody knows that
something extra will be on hand.
Altogether this exhibition should
be much better than any ever
held in the Panhandle.

MRS. PARK IS KILLED.
Instant Death is Caused by Defective Electric
Light Wring-Popuar Lady Drops Dead.

canyon City has never beer
shocked as it was when on the
evening of Friday, June 1S, the
report came to them that Mrs
,, David A. Park of this city had
been instantly killed by electric.
ity. Soon many people had
gathered at the home on West
Evelyn street to offer such as
sistance as they might be able.
The cause of the accident was
evidently defective electric
light fixture in the milk house.
Mrs. Park was cleansing milk
vessels just at dark in the even
ing and, while her hand was still
wet, she attempted to turn on
the light. There was a binding
flash of light, a smothered scream
from Mrs. Park and she fell
back into the arms of her hus-
band without a word, death hav-
ing come Immediately. Mrs.
Parks hand had closed upon the
bulb and in falling she tore the
fixture from the ceiling of the
room breaking the connection
with the main line. The alarm
was given and soon two physi-
clans were upon the scene and
did everything possible to revive
her but to no avail.
Services were held by Rev. M.
E. Hawkins, pastor of the Meth
odist church in this city of which
Mrs. Park had long been a mem
ber, after which the body was
taken to Amarillo where services
We're held at the home of DR.. and
Mrs. Cartwright at 1916 Polk
street at three o'clock Sunday
afternoon, Rev. O. f. Sensa-
baugh conducting the services
after which interment was had
at the Llano cemetery near
Amarillo.
Mrs. Park was the wife of
David A. Park, cashier of the
First National Bank of this city
and was the daughter of DR.. and
Mrs. J. W. Cartwright of Amar-
lilo. Mr.. and Mrs. Park have
resided in this city ever since
their marriage and Mrs. Park
stood at the very top as the fav
orite among the ladies' of this
city. She leaves, besides her
husband and father and mother,
two little girls, beautiful daugh-
ters, who will mourn the missing
mother.
The sympathy which is extend
ed to the bereaved family is un-
iversal. Mrs. Parks friends
were limited here only by the
number of people in the town.
She was loved by all and her un-
timely death has cast a pail over
the city.

Something in the Fish Line.

Some of our fishermen had
better get out and establish some
records for themselves as a new
record has been established
which is not likely to be broken
in Randall county at any early
date. On Tuesday of this week
J. F. Hood and Oscar Smith, to-
gether with some of their boys,
went to the TERRA Blanca about
a mile from this city and before
noon caught-and brought to
town so that they might prove 1t,
over three hundred fish, and
they caught them with hooks and
lines too. The News reporter
saw the fish else he would nave
had his doubts about the matter.

YOUNG MAN IS DROWNED.
P. B. Carlisle Of Happy Sinks Never to Rise
Agan-long Search Before
Body sFound.

Body is Found.
just at noon last Monday P.
b. Carlisle of Happy was drown
ed in the Terra Blanca just
southeast of this city. Mr..
Carlisle, together with Otis NAL
colin and family and Charley
June and sister of Happy camp
ed on the creek last Saturday
and remained there until about
noon Monday when arrange
ments were made for their re-
turn home. 1t was suggested
that before they go the men
take swim in the stream which
is wide and deep at that place.
Pulling off their shoes and keep
ing on the remainder of the
clothes the three men entered
the water and, using an old boat,
spent about Is minutes in bath
ing.
Just how the death of young
Carlisle happened cannot be ac-
curately told. 1t seems that his
companions had hold of the boat
and were in advance of Carlisle
in going up stream. Carlisle was
swimming behind. and one of the
ladies noticed him gradually sink
without any extra struggle, the
lady thinking that he was diving.
When the attention of the other
two gentlemen was called to him
he could not be seen. Swimming
back Mr.. Malcolm saw his body
about four feet under water and
reached him, catching him by
the hair. He swan to the old
boat and in attempting to raise
the body from the water the boat
was turned over throwing Mr..
Malcolm underthe waterat which
time he lost his hold on the body
of Carlisle and he could not be
found again at once.
An alarm was Immediately
raised and a large crowd went
out from this city to assist in the
search and it was nearly four
O'Clock before the body was To-
Gated. 1t was Immediately
brought to this city after the
various methods of resuscitation
had been applied. The corpse
was taken to the undertaking es-
tabliShment of Thomas Bros,
and embalmed and prepared for
burial. kilograms were sent to
his relatives and notification was
sent to have the body shipped to
Clarkesville, Tennessee, for in
terment, which was done Tues
day afternoon, Charley June of
Happy, one of the gentlemen
who was with the deceased at the
timeof the accident, accompanied
the remains to their last resting
place.
p. b. Cralisle was a young
man who came to Happy from
Kansas City a little over year
ago and engaged in the lumber
business at that place. At the
time of his death he was book
keeper for the p. J. Neff Lum-
Der Co. He was one of the most
model young men in point OF
character in this section of the
state, made friends with every
one whom he met and was there
fore very popular. His untimely
death has cast a gloom over those
who had met him and they all
condole with his bereaved broth
ers and sisters, who alone sur
vive him, as he was unmarried,
and his father and mother were
dead.
