COAL is FOUND.
Randall County Resident Finds Coal on His
Place Southeast Of the City.

For some time there has been
an idea among some of the peO-
pie living southeast Of this city
near the canyon, that there are
deposits of coal in some of the
side canyons entering the main
Palo Duro Canyon. MANY peo-
pie have found, from time to
time small pieces of coal but
they have not been able to dis
cover their source until recently.
Last Saturday j. l.. Mickey
nOlds. a resident of this city but
who has a ranch in the south
eastern portion of the county,
brought to this Office small
piece of coal which he had found
in a canyon which runs through
a corner of his ranch. The sam
pie which Mr.. McReynolds left
at this Office burns freely and an
assay Of it shows a very high
percentage of carbon with small
pc scentage of ash,
Mr.. McReynolds has not eX-
plotted the extent of the coal but
states that there is considerable
amount of it exposed in the can
yon but says that he does not
know enough about such matters
to determine whether it would
pay to expend large amount in
investigating. 1T is possible
that some one may be secured
to ascertain whether or not there
is vein of coal large enough for
commercial purposes as there
are several who are taking an
interest in the matter.

School Notes.

On Monday we were privileged
to visit the Umbarger School
which is under the skillful man
agement of Miss Letitia Lancas-
ter. The three trustees were
present, and after observing the
methods and work of the teacher
and a short talk of encourage
ment by the writer, the trustees
held a business meeting and de
cided to make some needed i'm
provements, and to order Ger
tain apparatus for the school.
This is one of the best schools
in the county, with an average
daily attendance of near thirty.
1t has an active, earnest and eff
ticient teacher and a bright and
intelligent class of pupils.
Tuesday marked the closing
of Professor Crowley's school at
Shotwell school house. Quite a
number of patrons were in at
tendance. After some class de
monstrations the pupils enter
tained the audience with songs,
recitations etc. The singing
was exceptionally good. Talks
we're made by the Superintend-
ent and the two trustees pres
ent. Mr.. Crowley has done
some thorough work in this
school, and the district has been
fortunate in having secured his
services.
The school has far outgrown
the little school building and the
trustees mean to begin at once
the erection of the best school
house in the county outside of
Canyon City.
On our way to Umbarger we
stopped a short time at the Lair
school, taught by Miss Lille
Leonard. Here we found an in
creased attendance and much
interest. Here. too, the trustees
are contemplating the erection
of a new house Soon.-By the
Superintendent.

UMBARGER TO THE FRONT.
Citizens Of that Town and Community Making
Organized Effort for Publicity.

The old adage that great oaks
from little acorns grow" may
come true again with reference
to the development of some of
the smaller towns of this sec
ton of the state. Word has
been received in this city that
there is a decided movement
among the people who live in and
near the town of Umbarger in
this comfy for an organization
among those people for the ad
vancement and publicity of the
interests of that town and sec
tion of the county. a meeting
is to be called at an early date
for the purpose of making per
manent organization.
Umbarger is a small town but
it has to be reckOned with in the
future as it is surrounded with
as fine land as there isanywhere
and the people out there are
hustling. New farm houses are
springing up every week and
work in the town is getting to
be of Il volume that would speak
much for a larger place. A new
lumber yard has just been com
pleted and stocked with n large
stock of building materials. The
concrete store building of |.
Mantz has been completed this
week. 1t is thirty by one hund-
red feet in size and is neat APP
pearing having an elegant inside
finish and of city appearance on
the outside. Work on the Cath
olic church is being rushed
and it will not be many months
before the people will be wor-
Shipping in it.
p. Nj. viii has let the contract
for new residence and as soon
as it is completed so that he may
move into it he will erect large
store building in order to accom-
mOdate the increasing business
of the place.
Altogether the town presents
"a more hustling appearance than
some of it's close neighbOrs who
lay claim TO more pretensions.

QUIET SCHOOL ELECTION.
-Four Trustees Elected Last Saturday Voters
Mostly Remain at Home.

If one of the board holding the
election had not sat in the win
dow of the court house and
whistled at the voters as they
passed last Saturday the vote in
the election for school trustees
for the coming two years would
have been awful light. AS it
was about sixty people were in
duced to come and exercise
their privilege. There was not
much interest in the election.
Indeed it was pretty hard to Sc.
cure names to go upon the tick
ct. Finally seven names were
placed upon the ballot and the
people did have some choice.
When the final vote was count
ed it stood as follows: w. II.
Moreland, II; b. ~. Johnson, IS;
l.. G. Conner, 81; Cyrus Eakman,
43; A. H. Thompson, l6; r. G..
Oldham, 81 and f. w. Reynolds,
40. There having been four to
elect MeSSrS MOreland. Eakman.
Oldham and Reynolds will make
the new members to the board,
Mr.. Reynolds being the only old
member reelected.

of this independent district will

PANHANDLE IS MAKING HIM MONEY.
Illinois Man Who Invests Considerable Wealth
Here Discusses Conditions.

More hogs and hominy is my

Powell of Peoria, ILL.,, who is
largely interested in Panhandle
development.
Il have been interested in
this country two years, and with
in few months / will have six
new farmers and their families
from Illinois located on my hold
ings. | have just completed four
houses and am building two
more. | am sinking wells, put
ting in windmills, buying stock
and equipping the property with
farm implements.
Il claim that the Panhandle of
Texas offers greater returns for
smaller investments than any
country in the United States.
The price of land considered, |
believe that the Panhadle of Tex
as offers greater profit from
the standpoint of the farmer
than any other section of this
country. | havenO declared this
doctrine and withheld my money,
but on the contrary have invest
ed literally here, and ! have not
yet reached the end.
There is yet much in sight
for the man who would better
his condition and at the same time
assist in the building and develop
ment of country that has not
heretofore had that attention
that its Importance demands. !
am a Staunch friend of the Pan
handle. The properties to which
| hold the title made me some
money last year and | yet have
some sorghum and kaf1ir corn
for sale. | am installing a mill
for the grinding of kaffir corn
and other feeds for hogs, and
after the feed has been ground
tits to be soaked in tanks especi-
ally provided for that purpose,
before feeding. These tanks
are now being placed and | ex-
pect to see results from this sys-
TEN that will prove a revelation
to the growers Of swine in this
portion of the country.
This part of the state has two
of the true elements of greatness
when measured by the standard
of Lord Bacon, who said: There
are three elements of greatness,
fertile soil, busy workshops
and facilities for the quick and
easy transportation of men and
products from place to place.
We have naturally the greatest
roads in the world natural road
ways of hardness, permanance-
with little to overcome in the
matter of grades. The fertility
of the soil is a fact admitted by
all who are in possession of the
facts. Vast numbers of persons
and corporations, representing
all classes of industry, have
their eyes upon the great Pan
handle of Texas as the center of
the vast area with possibilities
that have never been exceeded
and seldom if ever equaled."
Dr.. Powell is one of the lead
ing citizens of Peoria, and is a
man who has made great sue
cess. He is reaching out to the
great Southwest, and insists
that this country is INST at the
threshold of its greatness, its
possibilities and that it's devel-
opment has not sufficiently ad
vanced, to give even a remote
idea of what the future holds. |
