And the World do Move"

Here's jolly good laugh for
the people of Amarillo and the
great Plains. San Angelo. out
for the normal, and which made
a great noise the entire time the
campaign was on, and which con
tinually knocked the Plains and
all the towns on it, this same
San Angelo is mighty bad loser.
Listen to this howl from the San
Angelo Standard:
Where is Canyon City," is the
question uppermost in the West
Texas mind, and for the enlight-
ment of the earnest seeker after
geographical knowledge we want
to say that Canyon City has been
discovered and located at a point
2S5 miles from San Angelo, and
in the direction of the Arctic
Circle. AS to its population, mum
erical strength and nationality,
little is known. but the inference
is that the bulk of its inhabitants
are rich Jews, whose CONNER
cial kin enables them to see a
good thing before it passed be
You'd their reach, and whose
wealth furnished the 500, 100
that scooped the golden plum
and landed it in thier big hamper
basket. furthermore, the canyon
that affords the site of the city
where the normal is to lift its
stately proportions is so close to
Amarillo that when the wind and
sandstorm proof State Normal
building is finished, an embryo
Texas Schoolmarm can stand in
the weather-signa tower at sun
rise and watch the reporter for
the Daily Panhandle while he
goes to his rabbit traps to Sc
cure the wherewithal for the
morning 5 meal. Amarillo is a
bout the only neighbor Canyon
City has, and the probilitieS are
that she will pack up and move
over to clean place if she can
find room enough to stretch, her
clothes line in the new canyon. >
That is rich. The Daily Pan
handle has often contended that
the people of Ohio, Illinois, Iowa,
Nebraska, Missouri, X anSas
and other states of the great
Mississippi valley knew the life
business the geography, the en-
terprise, the cities, the counties,
the people of the great Plains,
while the people of the other pOr'
tions of Texas were ignorant Of
the wonderful riches, wealth,
fertility and industry up here.
The conglomerate mass of
hatred and ignorance" issued
by the sheep town editor in the
above is a sample Of what all
Texas has heretofore believed
but who have now had their eyes
opened. They got them half
open, in their sleepy stupidity,
last fall when the Panhandle
country walked away with the
blue ribbons at the state fair
and since the big normal has
been landed by lthe Plains they
have opened their optics still
wider, until now they finally re
alize the Panhandle is on the map.
The knocks at Canyon City are
not worthy Of notice sor reply.
That municipal gem is now
known far and wide in Texas.
We donOt know of a Jew in town.

IDAHO INKLINGS
Az told by the Teller.

The prize two-year-old steer at
the University of Idaho weighs 1900
pounds and has been sold to local
butchers at six cents per pound.
1t will take IL years to survey the
unsuryeyed land in the state of Idaho,
both mineral and agricultural, at the
present rate of establishing the official
lines.
Eight hundred acres of Idaho tim
Der located in Shoshone county has
been purchased for the Diamond
Match company and will be shipped
to the eastern factory.
The total cost of the maintenance
of the University of Idaho, since its
establishment in 1893, is S2,037,-
ESQ. 60, according to statements made
by State Treasurer c. A. Hastings.
Local option elections have been
held in Is counties in Idaho and IL
of the number have gone dry, Two
others have gone dry through action
of the county commissioners.
Three thousand acres of fine fruit
land will be put under irrigation on
the bench lands adjoining Payette next
spring. The water will be pumped
to the land by electricity.
With the tidy sum of practically
$500 in the banks for every man,
woman and child in the city, Wal
lace lays claim to being the wealthiest
town in the Pacific northwest.
There are enough pulp trees in
north Idaho to supply a large pulp
mill for 100 years, is the report of
ldaho's forest supervisors. White
fir and hemlock are the trees suitable
for paper manufacture.
The Twin Falls council has passed
pure milk ordinance and makes pro-
vision to have every COW used to fur
nish milk in the city, inspected for
tuberculin. This following on the
heels of the local option election is a
good indication.

Educational Reform.

While many educators have been
talking and planning for revision of
courses of study in the public schools,
remarks the Lewiston Teller, it per-
haps remains for a woman to take
the initiative and lay the axe to the
root of the tree. Mrs. Ella Flag
Young, superintendent of the Chicago
schools, has voiced her protest against
the pretentious programs in vogue in
the schools of the land, and has ex-
pressed her determination to make a
radical revision in the schools under
her charge. Fewer studies and more
time to each one is her aim, and her
argument is summed up in the express
sion that, I'VE are too extensive and
mot intensive enough" Many who
have felt impressed with the thought
that the energies of the children were
being scattered at random over wide
field of disconnected endeayor, will
hail with satisfaction the promised re-
turn to simplihcation and an endeavor
ito teach some fundamental truths, and
teach them very definitely.
