GL0RIES OF THE =
GREAT SOUTHWEST
THE GARDEN SPOT OF WHICH IS THE
TEXAS PANHANDLE.
GIorieS Of the Southland as Seen by an
Athenan During Recent Tour
ofthe Lone Star State.

a political story about the tail
Wagging the dog. Likewise the
Panhandle is wagging the state
of Texas. All eyes are on the
Panhandle country and emigra-
tion to that favored section is
heavy.
\ The hOmeSeekerS' excursion
that left Anthems December Is
via the Ohio Central and Pensyl-
vanla lines became double
header at indianapolis, two sec
tions at st. Louis and five sec
tions from Kansas City. After
checking up the tickets on leav-
ing Kansas City the conductor
told me that % per cent of them
were for the Panhandle.
On arrival at Hereford two
sleeperS were left on siding
for several days and passengers
allowed to sleep in them, the
hotels and rooming-houSes being
overrun. From there prospect
OrS took in the surrounding
country in automobiles. The
weather was clear and fine and
the trip enjoyable.
Hereford, the county seat of
Deaf Smith county, is a substan-
tial little city on the Santa Fe
road, and rich section of coun-
try. Three banks, with depos-
its close to half-million, several
large stores and numerous small
dealers are doing business. A
hardware firm told me they sold
around 100000 in 1908 and
would pass the quarter-million
mark in 1909. A fine opening is
there for a modern hotel and
rooming-house.
AS yet there isn't an average
of one settler to five sections, but
they are coming rapidly, and ere
long the production and business
of that country will be astound-
ing. While it is all good, yet [
think it is generally conceded
that the central tier of counties
are very desirable, as they are
in the shallow water belt. The
land is practically level, deep,
rich, chocolate and black soil,
with small per cent of sand.
Nearly all the grass is mesquite,
which is said to be very nutri-
tious-and it must be, as the
cattlemen used to winter their
cattle on it without other feed.
Some wonder why this part of
Texas was not settled up long
ago. The reason is that the cat
tie companies held it by lease
for 30 years, then held it arbi-
trarily II years longer, until
fourced out by the military. 1t.
is now settling rapidly by the
best element Of our country, the
attractions being a deep, rich
soil that produces well nearly
everything grown in the United
States; an elevation of 5000 feet
above sea level; climate free
from consumption, asthma, cat
arrh, malaria, etc; water the
purest and soft, from springs
and lakes, and also from wells
forty to 100 feet deep.
1t is destined to become a.
great wheat country and already
the big mills of the North are
arranging to draw on that region
for supplies.
In several counties | learned
of yields of from - to 40 bushels
of wheat per acre, and of fine
quality. Sod corn brings II to

Cattle and hogs do well and
are made ready for market

country. SO far as could learn
there is little or no disease
among livestock. Bell Bros.
have an extensive sheep ranch
in Castro county. They breed
a large mutton sheep and keep
an average of about 5000 head.
They are large shippers and get
top prices.
| visited a cattle ranch and
seen 300 head of high-grade
Hereford spring calves. They
were little beauties, even in size
and as fat as seals. saw many
herds of large cattle, all Here

1t is also a fruit country. |
saw many young orchards three

a merchant in Hereford show.
ed me his orchard, consisting of
all kinds of fruit trees, bordered
with forest trees. His trees
were six years old and of fine
growth, He had fine crop of
apples in his cellar and canned
fruit galore. His wife showed
me three plum trees which she
had sold $3.50 worth and can.
ned 20 quarts besides. The
same gentleman showed me pop-
lar and maple trees only six
years old and 9 inches in diane
ter; locust trees of the same age
10 inches in diameter.
Choice raw quarter sections,
three to eight miles out, are sell
at SO to $40 per large bod
les cheaper. Improved places
are $40 to S3l per acre, owing to
the distance from towns and
railroads.
The large cattle ranches are
being sold off at bargains. The
people are moral, enterprising
and prosperous. Those who
take hold in earnest soon become
Independent. | talked with
many farmers who paid for their
lands with two crops and several
who paid out in one year with
wheat, alfalfa, maize and hogs.
Prices on stock and farm pro.
ducts vary but little from Ohio

Hello co.
Is HURT

The Mutual Telephone Company has
taken the ordinance which the County
Supervisors propose to pass in regard
to the tearing up of the streets for the
laying of underground conduits, very
much to heart and. it is understood,
will have the backing of Superinten-
dent of Public Works Marston Camp
ruction between the Territorial and
the County governments which should
prove interesting.
When the Mutual Telephone Com
pany increased its capital stock recent
Iy it was necessary to amend the char
ter and articles of incorporation, ana
this was not allowed by the Attorney
General till certain sections had been
changed to allow the Superintendent
of Public Works to have general jur-
isdiction over the work to be done in
the future Now the Board OF Sup
ervisors, through an ordinance pro-
poses to get in and assume like juris-
diction. Here the telephone company
balks. Attorney Abe Lewis represent
ing the company, states that the power
of supervision rests with the Superin-
tendent of Public Works and that the
Supervisors have no right to inter-
fere. He has called the matter TO
the attention OF the Attorney General
and wishes the assistance of that otti-
Ger in settling the question.

FLEET TOOK ON
BIC PROVISIONS

The cruiser fleet before leaving San
Francisco took on large quantities or
supplies and It is estimated that each
ship steamed through the Golden Gate
with 100000 worth of provisions
aboard, the greater portion of which
was taken aboard in San Francisco.
About $15O,OOO was in this way dis
tributed among the merchants of San
Francisco.
On leaving the Californian port the
provisions on each of the eight cruis-
ers included 10000 pounds of -four,
10000 pounds of potatoes, 10000
pounds of beef, with other items in
lige amounts.
It is understood that when the
fleet returns to California in Febru-
airy all the cruisers will be fitted with
the new military masts, as well as
the new style of bridges, and that
this work will occupy several months
which will be spent at the two navy
yards on the Pacific coast.

SAYS HIDALGO
IS ALL RIGHT

Brainerd Smith, the vendor of rub
Der stocks, returned by the S. S. Man
churia, after a lengthy soiourn in San
Francisco, caused by the state of his
health. He is accompanied by his
wife and daughter.
Mr.. Smith was questioned by star
reporter this morning as to the Hi
dalgo Plantation & Commercial Co.,
the shares Of which are heavily held
here and about which there we're
many disquieting rumors some months
ago.
"Hidalgo looks as attractive a prop
osition as it ever did and nothing to
my knowledge has happened to cause
the rumors which l hear have been
circulated in Honolulu about the
property. If the report of Mr.. f. T..
p Waterhouse had been published /
am certain that all holders of Hidalgo
shares would have been reassured
"All the property is planted and is
looking very we'll and things are 60
ing ahead as well as could be desired.
THE business end of the concern
is o. X. and l have no hesitation in
predicting a great future for it
