LOCATING COMMITTEE
VISITS OUR CITY.
Continued from page l..

pie of this city expect or try to
ascertain their thoughts relative
to this city. They did state
however, that it was the inten-
ton of the committee to decide
the matter Immediately after
they had concluded their trip
over the towns which they are to
visit. Arrangements have been
made for a telegram announcing
the decision Immediately after
it is made.
OF course the people of Can
yon City and the entire Plains
country for that matter are anx-
iously waiting their decision. 1t
has been a fair open fight from
beginning to end and the decision
of the board, if favorable to Can
yon City, will be the token for a
new era in the history of the
of the Plains. No undue meth
DDS have been undertaken by
any of the committee from this
place and if we win out it will be
on merit alone.
The locating committee has
had hard time with the work,
there being so much more to do
than they had expected, They
labored for five days in swelter-
ing heat in Fort Worth. The
following will give an idea of
something that has happened
with them during the time, to-
gether with the itineracy during
the inspection.
The locating committee of the
West Texas State Normal com
pleted the opening of the sealed
bids filed by the various towns
and was not only gratitied but
astounded, at the liberality of
many of the offers. Excellent
sites for the school were offered
in every instance and in several
cases cash bonuses, to be ex-
pended in improvements, in
amounts ranging from $4,000 to
100000 were offered.
The bids, arranged alphibeti-
cally. in subtance follow:

III tlle pcOpic VI ulie WeSU Ou dC-
count of the substantial mani
feStation of their desire for the
benefits which education brings.
Our people are now seeing things
in their true relations and are
converting a generous and in
creasing portion of their mater
ial wealth into the more perma-
nent wealth of character and
culture. The committee ex-
presses the belief that almost
every place that is bidding for
this school could take care of
State institution of learning of
high character, and that each
place bidding would do gener-
Gus part in all the future by the
West Texas Normal College if
this school should be located in
its midst.
The committee regrets there
fore that many deserving places
must be disappointed, as there
is only one school to be located
at this time. The committee de-
Sires further to express its re-
greet that it is impossible to visit
many of the places bidding, al
though. on account OF their
efforts and achievements, they
richly deserve visit by the
committee. If it were possible
we would gladly visit every place
bidding, but for luck of time it is
impossible to do that. This gen
erous outburst of educational
enthusiasm from this splendid
section of our great State is
prophecy of what Texas will do
for itself educationally in the
near future.
The committee has not under
taken to frame the reports which
appear in the newspapers, and
it is but justice to all concerned
that the committee should say
that the reporters alone are re-
sponsible for the amount of
space given to each contestant,
for the items which are made
prominent and for the form in
which the report appears.
For the sake of clearness and
emphasis we desire to say that
no bid may be now, or hereafter,
materially changed, and the only
change. or changes allowable,
will be in the working out of de-
tails and for the purposes of cor
recting the substance now before
the committee. Respectfully.
