be obtained by an experienced
man IN going over the country

The route which first suggests
itself is from CrOsbyton west %
Emma and thence % Lubbock
but a careful consideration of
various features makes this
route inadvisable for the follow
ing reasons: The town Of Emma
is on a single section and is al
most entirely surrounded by land
owned IN large traces and is not
for sale al present prices but
held by the owners for invest
ment and for these owners own
good reasons would not as nearly
as can learn. be for sale IN
small tracts even at considerably
higher prices. A railroad can

Of a through system. Conse-
quently heavy rails and a good
road bed must be built and the
most direct line must be followed.
If a cheap and winding line we're
run 10 Emma thence 10 Estacado
and Lubbock. these towns would
experience a rise above their pre-
sent value. In two or three
years a line would be- put straight
through from Crosbyton % Lub-
book leaving Emma 10 the south
and Estacado % the north.
These two towns would then
suffer a slump In values which
would wreck many of their cit
liens. This exact situation has
occurred farther north as is well
known 10 you all.
By running a direct line as
contemplated, p town may be-

not possibly earn its fixed charg-
es except through a country
divided into small tracts and
where farming owners are locat-
ed. To be successful, a railroad
must have out going as well as
incoming freight and in the
South Plains the only outgoing
freight at the present time is
cattle and crops, without both of
these a railroad would inevitably
fail.
West from Emma country is
passed through which is almost
entirely undeyeloped while south
of this route the soil is not quite
as good for agriculture a farther
north. BY running due west
from Crosbyton a rich farming
country is passed through. On
both sides Of this route the land
is already cut up into small tracts
and all Of it seems to be available
to farmers for purchase in small
tracts. Also this part Of the
county is very much more
developed than farther south
which means immediate ton

When | made a trip through

part Of my mission was to study
the possibilities of a railroad and
to decide as closely as possible,
without an actual survey, as to
where a line should be built. 1t
was partially at least due to my
suggestion that the Crosbyton-
South Plains Railroad Company
took out a charter to build from
Spur to Lubbock with a branch
from Crosbyton north and decid-
ed to build first, provided salts

from Crosbyton to Lubbock.

Sentence 81 ~Tangapahaa JudgslR Blind Tiger
Case Reversed by state Supreme Court.

The Louisiana Sun, published at
Hammond, Tangapahoa parish, Of last
Saturday, says:
The supreme court reversed the
decision of Judge Ellis court Monday
in the case Of Sim Anderson, for In
lawfully retailing liquor. Judge Ellis
imposed upon Anderson a two years
Imprisonment with q fine of $4,000
and the supreme court decides that
the district Judge can only give six
months Imprisonment and a fine Of
$4,000, and. therefore Anderson is
entitled to a new trial. Well, Judge
Ellis may have overstepped his au-
thority, but he had the approval Of
every citizen of this town in his deci-
sion. Anderson is a notorious blind
tiger vendor as the court records Of
both city and parish will testify, and
for years he was the open saloons
best patron no doubt, in this section
distributing his goods under cover
Of darkness aud under different guises,
and he thrived and Waxed fat, appar-
emily, while the saloons were in opera
ton in Ponchatoula, just as every
blind tiger does within close range Of

The foregoing is believed to be an

assume at Baton Rouge in May as a
result of the conference held at
Shreveport last week. The confer
ence was rigidly executive and its Sc
crets have been closely guarded; but
there is excellent authority for the
statement that at least a tentative
decision was reached not to precipi-
tate a Statewide prohibition fight;
but to seek an extension Of the dry

tanning the Democratic principle Of
