are made with all business and resi-
dence properties. giving perfect salts
faction to property owners both in cost
and service. The sanitary conditions
of the town are considered OF the best,
since the inauguration OF the system.
PayroIIs-
The combined payroll OF the Rock Is
land and the Fort North roads at Dali
hart averages over $40, 600 per month:
this amount being circulated through
the commercial avenues of the city
furnishes good healthy business actiy-
ity felt in all the various channels Of
trade, and stimulates the growth Of
our town. In connection with first
class agricultural surroundings our
prospects for improved conditions are
very flattering.
Dalhart has been fortunate in the
past few months in securing some
very important manuturing establish
ments that employ number of men,
the most important of which is the
Johnson & Kelly Bit and Spur COM
pany, the Thompson & Son Broom
Manufacturing company, the r. E.
Troupe Cement Building company, the
Dalhart Bottling company, the Dali
hart Abstract company, and the Title,
Abstract & Guarantee company, all
legitimate, active business concerns.
New Railroads.
While Dalhart is the junction of two
old established railroads, the Rock Is
land and the Denver road, two new
lines of railroad are to be added to
the territory. on the e. O. & W., to run
from Dalhart to Enid, Okla, construc-
ton is completed II miles, and graded
to Dumas, Texas. some 40 miles east.
Hopes are entertained for early con-
tinuation and completion. The Noun
tain, Valley & Plains, the second con-
templated line TO run from Guthrie.
Okla, to Cimmaron, n. NJ, through Dali
hart, with present headquarters here,
is being pushed as rapidly as possible,
while no active construction work has
begun, the surveying and other neces-
sary work has been completed and early,
work on the road is promised by the
promoters. There is no question from
the amount Of capital that has been
put into the two enterprises, but what
they are a CO. and viii be an addi-
tional factor in the development of this
territory.
The Dalhart Telephone company is
one Of the very best in the state. Tt
is cable system. with over 500 sub
schiDSIsy connected Win lOng distance
both north, south. east and west It's
service is perfect.
Cooperation Effort.
No city can hope for success or prog
ress that has not live, progressive,
wideawake board Of trade or CONNER
cial club. Dalhart is most fortunate in
possessing that happy medium of con-
ditions. The president, Homer Rowe,
and secretary and treasurer W. j.
Clarke, are interchangeable workers.

~ ALHART, Texas, Aug. 26.-One
of the leading industrial de-
velopments recently launched
at Dalhart that our people are much
interested and enthused over is the
Dallam. county deep well project To-
Gated just a mile west of our beau
tiful little city of progress and Gull
ture, on an eninence overlooking the
surrounding country. Some $4,000
has been placed by the county for this
Improvement and contractors with an
up to date drilling outfit are at work
night and day sinking a 14-inch hole.
The well is now down to a depth of
500 feet, and they expect to go 5000
feet or until artesian water, gas or
oil has been secured. A 40 foot vein
of pure soft water was passed through
at depth of 800 feet
A pertinent question often pro-
pounded by visitors that view the
project is. What do we expect from
this venture2 Our reply is, To DEM
onstrate the possibilities of this ter
ritory. With artesian water in great
abundance northwest and southeast
within radius of 10 to % miles we
hope to secure a flow here which at
any practicable depth would prove of
great benefit to all this vast undevel-
oped territory Gas and oil may be
secured, either of which would be
most welcome and furnish our city
with a domestic commodity that of
itself would prove most valuable. Old
experienced men are in charge of the
work, the very highest grade Of ma
chinery has been placed at their dis
posal, the work is progressing rapid
ly, and within the next three months
the results of 30oe foot hole will be
known.
Future of Dalhart.

two great trunk lines Of railroads

brothers, Of Fort Worth, Texas, for
$4,000. The property will be man
aged and conducted as a first class
hotel in the future as in the past.
Fresh Meat supply.
With the increased demand for beef
and dressed products, Col r. S. Coon
has just completed a large. commod-
ious concrete slaughter and packing
house, with a capacity of 20 beeves
a day. at a cost Of $4,000. A large
territory on the Denver and Rock Is
land roads is dependent upon Dalhart
for fresh meat supply and the regu-
lar demands of this product drew the
attention of Mr.. Coon to the practi-
cability and necessity for such an un-
dertaking.
Automobiles.
There is great activity displayed in
Dalhart in the automobile line. No
other city or town in the Panhandle
is SO far advanced or equipped along
this line The good roads movement
of Hartly and Dallam counties at a
cost of several thousand dollars, mas
given the movement great impetus.
The Williams garage has been recent
ly established here at cost of $4,000
and is credit to the community.
More than IS cars are owned here and
represent over 100000 valuation. Ma
ture has smiled on this territory In
a way by giving us smooth. level,
hard earth surface; cars frequently
cover a 200 mile trip in day at a
minimum cost.
Steam Traction Flowing.
Probably no other one man has con-
tributed more to the development of
this territory this season than has
the R. c. Shindler & Son Steam Trac-
ton and Flowing company. Twenty
five acres a day has been their record
so far; their outfit is complete in
every respect, and they have done
good work From sod TO the seed bed
is the system of manipulation as the
monster engine covers the ground.
Thousands of acres will be trans
formed into agricultural lines this
fall and coming winter by the many
new settlers locating here.
Utilities
The Dalhart Ice. e Electric company.
Incorporated at 100000, is one of the
most complete and modern plants in
Texas; the capacity is 25 tons of ice
per day, supplying the city with
sanitary product and the icing of
thousands of carloads of transit COM
modfties passing in each direction on
both the Rock Island and the Fort
Worth & Denver roads The electric
light and power give the city a day
and night service for domestic and
commercial purposes. Some five deep
wells are required to supply the de-
mands of the city and icing plant.
Sewerage.
The sewerage system of the city is
up to date and as good as those of
much larger towns. Some II miles of

Women who bear children and re-
main healthy are those who prepare
their systems In advance of baby's

nature IN its prenatal work the crisis
finds her system unequal to the de-

left with weakened health or chronic

commonest and at the same time hand
soonest of the New Zealand birds. The
neck is ornamented with q fill Of
curly feathers of greenish color with
white centers. and the throat Is adorn-
ed with a t1ft of white feathers, which
have gained for It the popular name OF

pirate not only because Of this decora-
ton, but because Of the resemblance
of its peculiar attitudes when singing
