Purchases Section of Land.

G. O. Beatty of Greenfield,
Ohio, was a caller at the News
office on Tuesday and informed
the reporter that he had pinned
his faith in the Randall County
soil productiveness by purchas-
ing $40 acres near Canyon. 1t
evidently looked good to him as
it does to hundreds of others who
have visited this section of the
Panhandle. That's how land val
ues jump in this locality. There
never was such soil, crops and
possibilities out-grOW any other
part of America. There's still
plenty Of room for you and the
land is waiting for you to come
and improve it as well as your
self. All it needs is a settler to
develop its value many times be
yond the purchase price.
This is a country of open sea
sons and the people are busy all
of the time. The climate never
reaches great extremes Of heat
or cold for long periods of time.
You can raise good crops with
less effort and market them at a
less expense than in any other
farming section in the United
States. No sooner have you had
one crop harvested than the
ground is ready to begin another
and where every acre counts for
two of a section where bad wealth
er forces the fields to lie idle half
the time. Many a young man,
who has settled in this locality,
has located upon a farm only to
find that his barnyard was his
residential section before his first
gray hairs came. If you want to
farm or to go into business, your
chances for prosperity are equal
in this great Randall County.

pressively performed in the
presence of only the members
of the two families and a few
friends. The wedding party
left at once for the Palo Duro
club grounds where a sumptu-
Gus wedding dinner was await
ing them.
The bride is one of our young
ladies to whom the we'll
worn and much-abused phrase,
beautiful and accomplished"
can be truthfully applied, she
being fair to look upon,
beautiful in character and her
mind havinglhad the training to
properly fit her to intelligently
and gracefully fill the position
of household queen.
OF Mr.. Howell many, truth
fully, nice things are said he,
having been among us, living an
exemplary life, since childhood.
He inherited a handsome sum
from the estate of his father,
who died some two years ago,
but not content with the success
of another by which he profited,
he took advantage of his oppor-
tunities, educationally, and fit
ted himself for business and is
now employed in the First

In answer to numerous inquir
les as to when the former Su
perintendent of Public Instruc
tion, R. B. Cousins, would take
up his residence in Canyon City
and, as President, when would
matters pertaining to the Nor
NAL commence, the News prints
the following taken from the
Austin Statesman:
Professor Il. B. Cousins. for.
mer state superintendent of
public instruction, now princi-
pal of the new West Texas nor
NAL, says he will leave for Can
yon City as soon as the contract
for the construction of the build
ing has been let, which is Janu-
ary 20. In the meantime he is
now considering the long list of
applicants for positions on the
faculty of the new institution.
He has a large list from which
to make selection. He said he
would prepare list of those eli
gible for positions and submit
them for the action of the state
board of education in the matter.
1t is the aim of Professor COuS-
ins to secure the best possible
material for this institution, as
he proposes to conduct it along

BIG, NEW DEPOT FOR CANYON CITY.
Railroad Commission Passed FavorabIy on
Petition for New Station.-Work will
Begin as Soon as Possible.

At the last regular meeting of
the Commercial Club, Judge J. G.
Hunt was selected as a member
of the Club to go to Austin and
present this city's case before
the Railroad Commissioners of
Texas in the matter of new de-
pot which has been pending for
some time. Mr.. Hunt left last
Saturday afternoon and on Tues
day of this week, the CONNER
cial Club received a telegram
which reads, I'VE have order for
new commodious depot. J. G.
Hunt
The new stanton will be very
large and built on the latest pat
terms. Plans will be drawn and
completed within the next thirty
days after that time thirty days
will be given as a limit 70 begin
the work of construction. But
in the meantime it is a question
between the State Railroad Com
mission and the Railroad Com
DanV as to where the buildinp
will be located.
1t shows very shortsighted
ness on the part of any railway
company to let matters come to
such pass when they are COM
PEELED to do things which are of
more vital Importance to the in
terests of the company than it is
to the ordinary citizen. 1t is
much better to have the good
will of community, place or Cit
izens than have to be compelled
by legal measures to preform
duty toward the comfort and con-
venience of the travelling public.
The officials who have such
in charge, should use
business tact and make their de-
pots commodious so that the ira
Yelling public when waiting for
their belated trains, have some
place to wait that is comfortable
and warm. Nothing gets rail
road company in diSrepute as
quickly as the neglect of their
depot facilities especial as to the
accommodations given their pat
rons. The company looses out
every time and many
times causes the people to look
the matter of building or inviting
other lines to their locality. Com
pelling people and corporations
is not the best way to do or have
things done as both parties are
apt to show a revengful spirit
and then the object sought for is
lost

nation obtainable, the good peo.
pie of Canyon City are going to
get their moneys worth"
We print below a letter from
President Cousins relative to
this matter.
L sent you on yesterday a
picture of the normal college
building. Feeling satisfied that
the good people of Canyon City
are anxious to see some material
evidence of progress, | did not
wait to have photographs made
of the building. | received the
impression from you or Mr.. Ter
rill that your commercial club
expected to have a photograph
and cuts made as soon as posSi-
bic. / think that this is a good
idea. If you have photographs
made, send me two or three to
be used by the newspapers in
this section of the state. Some
of them have asked me for a
photograph from which they can
have cuts made.
1t seems that we are making
haste very slowly, but when we
think of the greatness of the un-
dertaking and the irrepairable
loss that would be sustained if a
mistake were made, we can af-
ford to proceed with the greatest
care. | believe we have been
fortunate in the selection of an
architect who is entirely capable
of taking care of the phases of
the work which fall under his
jurisdiction. We have called to
our assistance the best intellig-
ence available here in working
out the details of the building.
| am greatly pleased with re-
suits so far obtained.
At a meeting of the board on
the first Monday of this month
it was decided to give the bidders
plenty of time to make all figures
that they wished to make on the
building. You can readily see
that there are great many de-
partments to be figured out.

this it will be built of common
