CR0SBYT0N-S0UTh PLAINS RY
Surveyors to Begin Line in The
Early Spring and Probably
in Few Weeks

1t is current at this time that
the surveyors will be put in the
field to locate the final route of
the Crosbyton-South Plains
Railroad to some eastern connec-
ton. and it is expected that the
line will be under construction
before the year 1912 is more
than two-thirds gone.
We have not met the officials,
or asked them as to the reports,
but il came pretty straight that
there will be something doing IN
the near future. Crosbyton and
all Crosby COUNTY feels the need
of eastern connection and the time
is at hand when our interest de-
mands the immediate building
/ if possible of an eastern connec-
/ tion.
We were informed that the
survey that is proposed will go Y
Spur. as that is the nearest pcffi
to an eastern outlet, and that
more than likely the road would
be built as soon as the perma-
nent line can be surveyed out.
We were also informed that
money could be gotten for The
completion of the Line and
as the Crosbyton South.

Home Helps For The
Hair and Complexion

The right sort OF care OF hair and
scalp requires little time and is produc-
tive Of a healthy scalp and silky, SHIN
mery hair. CanthroX shampoos solve
the problem for women troubled with
oily, "stringy," unmanageable hair, and
are SO enjoyable that shampoo day is
pleasantly looked forward to. A tea
spoonful Of canthrox dissolved in a cup
Of hot water is enough mixture. and its
regular use insures a healthy scalp and
a wealth of beautiful, 1uffy hair.
A spurmax lotion is excellent for
clearing the skin Of all impurities, and
is so superior to powder that once II is
used it will never be discarded To
make, dissolve ounces Of spurmax in
y pint witch hazel Tor hot water), and
add 2 teaspoonfuls glycerine. The use OF
this lotion gives to any skin a charm
and elegance Unobtainable any other
way.

TwENTY-FoUR hours later,
Deane walked upon a wilder
- ness of marshy sands, glittering
here and there with the stain of the sea,
blue in places with the delicate flush
of sea lavender. In the background.
a village of red-tiled roofs. Before him,
an empty sea. Behind and around,
around, nothing but this stretch of bare,
fiat country, empty even of the sea I'M
til the tide should come and thrust its
long arms of glittering silver up into
the heart of the land. A few wander
ing gulls screamed overhead. From
inland, a great silence. Here, too, the
sea, flowing in upon the level sands,
was quiet and noiseless. Deane felt
every nerve of his body at rest. He
realized to the full the marvellous joy
of solitude. All the strain of those
last few days seemed to have fallen
away. He looked back upon that pas
sionate chapter of his life as a stranger
might look back upon recorded hap
penings. The tragedy of Basil Rowan,
condemned to death amid the awful sill
ence OF that spell-bound court, sitting
now in his cell with his head turned to-
ward the door, passing through long
hours of torture waiting for the re-
prieve which might never come, ap-
pealed to him now only as it might sp-
peal to a million others who read the
newspapers. He was almost able to
forget that it was he in a measure who
was responsible for that episode He
was able, even, to forget the tragical
side of Winifred Rowan's visits-to
remember only her gentle, appealing
ways, her passionate pleading, her graf
itude, tempered still with anxiety,
which had triumphed at their last in
terview over the repugnance which she
had at first plainly shown toward him.
All OF these doings and happenings
were of another world. Here, trouble
and anxiety were like the noxious
piaythings of a race Of children. The
sea that rippled in so softly on the
trm sands remained untroubled. The
seagulls wheeling above his head. in
lazy content filled the air with their
soothing cries. Everywhere the sun
shine lay about the sea-stained places
The green marshes sparkled like emer-
aids. The wet seaweed, lying about in
little heaps, seemed struggling to ex-
press new suhtleties of color. Down
one Of the reaches came a brown-sailed
fishing boat, steered BY a man who lay
at full length upon the deck, his head
upon a cod OF rope, one hand only
grasping the tiller. A few cows were
standing about in the drier part of the
