The increase In rates here as shown
by the table above averages from Is
to 50 per cent, which surely is very
unfair to our people. Our people are
therefore looking to you for protec-
tion from this exhorbitant premium
rate which the insurance companies
are now seeking to foist upon us by
the protection given them under the
law passed last winter.
Instead of an increase in rates our
people rather feel that they are en-
titled to a decrease in rates, as we
have the past year put in an up-to-
date paid Fire Department, also auto
matte water service with the pump
ing station SO that the entire city is
now protected with a much superior
fire protection than before, conse-
quentIy we feel that the risks are I
considerable better now than they
were under old rating and should
have been lower by fully the per-
,centage Of increase, all over the city.
We find however; that The asentar
OF the insurance companies are using
the new rate as filed June first, and
accept no business at the old basis. II
there is anything that you can do for
us, we shall appreciate prompt action
on your part. Should you desire any
thing further in the nature Of evil
dence or personal call from COM
mittee of our citizens, we will be
glad to have you indicate the same.

c. w. Parker Will
Move to LeavenWOrth

G. w. Parker will move his factor
les to Leavenworth. He concluded
arrangements Saturday and will
commence moving in 80 days. Tha
city will be the headquarters of the
shows. He says 50 families will &c
with him and gives as one reason
for moving the trouble he has beer
made by the city administration dur.
ing the past two years.
Mr.. Parker said today to the Re-
flector: When the question of To-
eating in Leavenworth was first con-
sidered, 1t was my intention to mere
ly establish branch factory there 10
accommodate my rapiu4. increasing
business and to still maintain the
Abilene factory intact. The LeaYen-
worth people, however, took sysh an
interest in having the entire plant
located there, and made such flat
tering inducements for its removal
at time when the city council Of
Abilene was busily engaged in or
dering us to vacate portion of a
practically unused street, which 1t
had previously authorized us to oc-
cupy, that when Superintendent Mil
Ter telephoned me of the action Of the
city council last Friday night. 1t
speedily accepted the proposition
made by the Greater Leayenworth
Club. The work of removal will be
begun within thirty days, and it is
expected that the Leavenworth plant
will be in full operation before Sep
tember first. 1t will, of course, be
necessary to maintain an office in
Abilene until the new plant is COM
pleted, but this will also be event.
ually located in Leavenworth. The
new factory buildings will be con-
structed entirely Of cement and struc-
tural iron and will be thoroughly
modern in every respect. With us
will go nearly fifty married men and
their families, and half as many |
single men. To pay these employees
requires mcnthiSg expenditure of
more than three thousand dollars,
all OF which is spent in
Abilene"
The Reflector sincerely regrets to
see Charlie Parker leave Abilene
He has lived here since childhood
and by dint and hard work and the1
exercise OF good business judgment
has amassed comfortable fortune.
No one man has done more to keep
he city OF Abilene prominently before
he public than G. w. Parker.
The Reflector congratulates Lea
upon its acquisition Of

will erect. AbiIene's loss is decidedly /,

is simple, it requires considerable

ED. VIDETTE:
AS | haven't sken anything
from this part of west Texas and
if you will allow me place in
your columns | will give a short
description of this country. To
reach this country come via Big
Springs, Texas, and take the auto
mobile or the mail hack (daily
except Sunday to Lamesa.
Later come on the train from
Stanton to Lamesa.
The climate is ideal both in
summer and winter with the ex-
ception of few northers- No OPP
pressive heat, no scalding winds.
The nights are delightful, cool and
refreshing. Malaria is unknown
and but little sickness of any kind.
The soil is a dark, rich chocolate
color covered with thick mat of
several kinds of grasses, scatter
ing cat claw and mesquite known
as the famous cat claw sandy loan
soil with red clay foundation, the
ideal farming land, no better soil
in Texas. Water good, pure and
cold at depth of 90 to IFS feet.
The land is adapted to all kinds
of farm products, such as cotton,
corn, etc. Cotton has proved to
be a certain crop and very profit
able producing from one-half to
one bale per acre. Corn 80 to so
bushels per acre. Fruits and veg
etables of all kinds. Melons a
spontaneous growth, largest and
sweetest in the world. July and
August are usually seasonable,
hence insuring good crops. Rains
are ample. No fertilizer is ever
used here, it is not necessary, even
in the gardens.
We have no boil weevil, no crab
grass, no rocks, no steep hills, no
timber except small mesquite.
One man can work so acres of
land here easier than he can rs
back east or even in central Texas.
Lanesa is the county seat of
Dawson county with population
Of about 1000, schoo' of 225 pu-
pills, courthouse, 2 banks, 8 stores,
post office, 3 hotels, 2 gins, barber
shop, livery stable, wagon yard
and beautiful Methodist church.
The Baptists have built beautiful
home for their pastor and will soon
build splendid u oh. They
pay their pastor 81 900 a year.
Lots of religion and good people
in Dawson county. Prices of
land range here from SlO to S25
per acre according to quality of
land, location and improvements.
Terms usually one-fourth to one
third cash, balance | to 10 years
with s per cent. interest. | can
sell you any sized tract, improved
or unimproved. Now is the time
to buy. These lands will soon adj
vance to $40 and $50 per acre.
Come before the railroad is com
pleted in this section. The new
railroad grade from Stanton to
Lamesa is completed and the con-
tract for ties and steel has been
let We defy any county in the
state to compete with us in quality
of the land and productivcness of
soil in growing cotton, corn, fruits
and vegetables.
