been so arranged that the small

stopping points of the train, the
officials of the road holding that
in this way more desirable Settl-

case from the larger places.
On exhibition on this train

THE WESTERN TRADE WANTS To COME HERE
Lubbock Should Offer Some Better Road Inducements and
Would Control the Situation Almost Entirely
May Get Mail Line,

not having 10 wait for the rail
road people to get ready to load
them out Of the ware house.
They like TO trade here because
Lubbock dealers carry larger
stocks of goods than any other
this low down on the Plains.
People can get what they want
here without having to bother
about having il ordered. this is
a good reason. There seems TO
be little doubt in the minds of
those who have had an oppor-
tunity TO get any inside infor-
nation with regard to the new
mail service &c the west that
Lubbock will land that, though
there is nothing definite about
II, and We are not saying that
we have ii, but must admit that
things sound good 70 the Lub-
book people. With the line es-
tablished this will be the point
Of distribution of express and
mail and passenger traffic to the
counties southwest. which will
mean a great deal 10 the people
of the counties nearby as well
as 10 Lubbock. The benefits
will be mutual.
A vital point now that we wish
TO bring out is the fact that Lub-
book merchants, III they wish. to
have absolute contro. of the
situation. They should meet the
Browniie.d people with a prop
osil01 20 help them build
road through the sand between
this place and that. In Lub-
ooc6 county there is but very
little sand and the road is
reasonably good al. the way to
the county line. butIt is across
10 Terry that the sandy road
begins, and Il is that part Of
the road that we wish 10 sug-
gest that the merchants of this
town put up some money 10 fix
up So that the people who want
TO come here can do so and have
as good road as 10 any other
point. We hope that the matter
viii be taken up shortly and
action be taken. IL is a neces-
sity 1t Is a business proposition
and to overlook il or treat il
lightly would be commercial sui
eide. and none of the merchants
at this place can afford to do
something. We know Of one
firm that Is willing 10 put up
So. 90 and another $1,000. Who
will take the matter in hand and

countries. This bull cost the

Now Laugh PlainvieW papers

arms if the Avalanche even in
Inmates that Lubbock Is the logic

plains. but the fact viii no doubt
dawn very forceabiy upon them
some day. That city will always
have an excellent wholesale

YOU that Lubbock will be the
most important point on the
South Plains from a point of
wholesale houses within the
course of a very few years. ours

name of the city TO our north in
the least, but merely want TO i'm
press upon the minds Of the public
that Lubbock is becoming a figure

We have only one house at pre-
sent. understand, but the trade
territory is SO ideally located
that we will have others as soon
as the country is developed suf-
hclently 70 demand such.
Everything is shaping up the
incest IN the world for Lubbock

year 1912. Prospects are good

detail as % what We are ey-
pecting. thar will bee told a little
later on. but there lis one thing
that the Avalanche wants TO call
the attention of the business
men %. and that Is the road from
here 90 Brownfeld. Something
must be done along that line.
To begin with. the people OF
Terry and Yoakum and many in
. Gaines and the counties west OF
I. Us prefer Lubbock as their
trading point. They prefer il
for more than one reason and
they are all logical ones. The
F first reason Is that Lubbock has
wholesale house. which with
the business men of the towns

a great deal. Their freight
wagons can come here and load
on what they want al any time,
