THE BlGGERS WELL
Everything in Fine Shape and
Well is Furnishing an Alum
dance Of Water

A number Of times the Ava
lanche has had something to
say with regard to the well
which Don. II. Blggers has had
put down on his farm west of
town. For a number of months
this well has been under way.
In a manner it has been an up
hill business. Many drawbacks
were encountered and at times
il seemed that an ordinary man
would have dispared and give up
the proposition as a bad job and
let it go by default, but Don
Biggers is a sticker and Sc
curing some help from the town
people the work was prosecuted
to a finish. and as a result it has
been carried on to a most salts
factory conclusion.
This week the pump has been
kept running and the flow OF
water secured has been altogeth-
err satisfactory. Those who are
in position to know say that
the indications of a greater
supply of water in this well is
more visible than in any new
well that they have seen on the
SouthIPla ms. Everything poir Is
to a magnificent flow when the
sand has been properly pumped
out and the iwell gets down to
regular temperament.
II is with a considerable de-
gree of satisfaction that the
Avalanche can report 10 the
outside world that Lubbock has
a well right in the suburbs of
the city that proves beyond
doubt that there is water and
water in bundance for all pur-
poses almost within the city
limits for irrigation purposes.
Lubbock was never out done
by any country and she does
not propose 70 be by those who
claim the "only" wells Of con
sequence on the South Plains.

~ ELL me, what do the papers

Settling herself comfort
ably back in the carriage,
Shirley questioned Jefferson with eag-
erness, even anxiety. She had been
1mpatiently awaiting the arrival of the
newspapers from "home," for so. much
depended on this first effort She
knew her book had been praised in
some quarters, and her publishers had
written her that the sales were bigger
every day, but she was curious to learn
how it had been received by the re-
viewers.
Shirley was not beautiful, but hers
was face that never failed to attract
attention. 1t was thoughtful and in
teresting face, with an intellectual
brow and large, expressive eyes, the
face Of woman who had both brain
power and ideals, and yet who, at the
same time, was in perfect sympathy
with the world. She was fair In COM
plexion, and her fine brown eyes, alter
nately reflective and alert, were shad-
ed by long dark lashes. Her eyebrows
were delicately arched, and she had a
good nose. She wore her hair we'll off

Yet it smiled readily, and when it did
there was an agreeable vision Of

taxable air Of we'll bred independence
that bespeaks birth and culture She
dressed stylishly, and. while her gowns
were of rich material and Of a cut
suggesting expensive modistes, she
was always so quietly attired and in
such perfect taste that after leaving
her one could never recall what she
had on.

the papers say about the .book?"
"SayT' he echoed. "Why, simply
that you've written the biggest book

Really! Oh, do tell me all they

was so important that her identity

occupied with the usual before dinner
crowd.
Fascinated by the gay scene around
him, Jefferson laid the newspaper
aside. To the young American, fresh
from prosaic money mad New York,
the City Of Pleasure presented indeed
a novel and beautiful spectacle How
different, he unused, from his own
city with one fashionable thorough
fare - Fifth avenue monotonously
lined for miles with hideous brown
stone residences and showing little
real animation except during the
Saturday afternoon parade when the
activities Of the smart set, male and
female, centered chiefly in such ex-
iciting diversions as going to Huyler's
for soda, taking tea at the Waldorf
and trying to Guido each other in dress
and show. New York certainly was a
dull place with all it's boosted cosmo.
.politanism.
1t was true, he thought, the foreigner
Ing life. There was assuredly some
thing else in the world beyond mere
money getting. His father was a.
slave to 1t, but he would never be. He
was resolved on that. Yet, with all his
Ideas Of emancipation and progress,
Jefferson was thoroughly practical
young man. He fully understood the
value Of money, and the possession Of
1t was as sweet to him as to other
men. Only he would never soil his
soul in acquiring it dishonorably.
No, Jefferson was no fool. He loved
money for what pleasure, intellectual
or physical, it could give him, but he
would never allow money to dominate
his life as his father had done. His ia
Their, he knew we'll, was not happy
man, neither happy himself nor re-
Fpected by the world. He had toiled
fall his life to make his vast fortune,
and now he toiled to take care of it,
Ihe galley slave led life of luxurious
ease compared with John Burkett Ry-
der. Baited by the yellow newspapers
and magazines, investigated by state
committees, logged by process serv-
ers, haunted by beggars, harassed by
Pblackmailers, threatened by kidnapers,
frustrated in his attempts to bestow
Fcharity by the cry tainted money"
certainly the lot Of the worlds richest
man was far from being an enviable
one.
That is why Jefferson had resolved
to strike out for himself He ha6
warded off the golden yoke which hi
father proposed to put on his should

made for him in the Empire Trading
