is Planning an Extension

The following appeared in the
Dallas News of Sunday:

tension of the Crosbyton and

plays the proper inter rest is the
statement of Julian M. Bassett.

aRer of the road, who was in

The line runs from Lubbock to

byton east TO Spur, with a view
Of making direct connection with

The road is financed by p.

Chicago" Mr.. Bassett said,
Mr. Coonley is president OF the
road, they have ample financial
backing to make the extensions
and about all hat is necessary
IS for them to be convinced that
Dallas will welcome the road.
we are also contemplating
an extension Of the road west
from Lubbock in such a way as
to open up a large territory that
has not heretofore been tribu-
tary TO the Dallas markets.
Merchants there have been
going to Kansas City and st.
Louis.
We are also largely interest.
ed in lands in that country. We
have a farm Of 10000 acres. Of
this 800 acres is devoted TO an
experimental farm, conducted on
exactly the same principles the
Government runs its farms.
For instance, we have forty
acres divided into forty different
plots. on which we are growing
forty different crops, using the
dry farming system. Our in
tention is to demonstrate what
the country will do in the way
of farming products.
AS an example, we shipped
out the other day Ill head of
steers, all raised entirely on
kaffir corn and Kafir corn en-
silage grown on this land. The
steers netted SIS each. "

received notice from the com
mission house at Galveston TO
the effect that his cotton had
been sold and brought consider.
ably over eleven cents per pound.
He also stated that he got a
grade of the cotton sent there
by him sometime ago and that
the greater part of il classed
as Middling. while a number
of the bales were classed as
strict middling. Three or four
OF the last bales shipped did
not grade as well on account Of
the cotton having been beaten
out and gathered off the ground,
but the average would not be
brought below middling. Mr..
Burns is well pleased with his
cotton crop last year as he did
not get good stand and the

MANS BEST FRIEND.

OF all the brute friends of man, the
horse is certainly by far the most
useful and the most valuable to him.
In these latter days he earns the liv-
ing for his master, his masters family
and himself; usually works six days
week and hauls the family around
on the seventh accepts the poorest
shelter or none at all, takes what food
his master allows him accomplishing
ly, is always ready TO do his best at
any task to which he is assigned and
through thick and thin, bad luck or
good, veal or woe, is the reliable,
faithful efficient and optimistic friend
of his master, his family and his in
terests.
In peace the horse tolls for man in
many ways; in war he suffers and dies
for him. In disaster he carries his
master out of danger; in victory he
bears him proudly in the triumphal
march. He shares his sorrows and
his poverty in full and gets but little
share in his prosperity. Though he
would enjoy rest and recuperation in
the green fields, he contentedly tolls
and struggles at his task on the bare
roads between them Blows he re-
ceives patiently from the hands of his

County Attorney Case Attacked.
The Board of Supervisors met We'd
nesday, doing routine business. On
Thursday, the matter of signing a
new contract with the Island Electric
Company, which has taken over the
franchise of the Maui Electric Com
pany, came up for consideration.
At the previous meeting of the
board a new contract was presented
but the board objected to several OF
the clauses therein, and the matter
was referred to the county attorneys
department for adjustment.
The correspondence between the
county attorney and 4ur. Bond, head
of the Island Investment Company
was read, in which Mr. Bond takes
occasion to score Mr.. Case for what
he terms his arbitrary attitude in the
matter This accusation seems to be
absolutely unjust and unfounded, as
the county attorney and the board of
supervisors to a man express them.
selves as being most DESTROYS to do
anything within reason to secure cleo.
tricity. They, however, express them.
selves just as strongly against sign.
ing any contract which they think will
be to the detriment of the taxpayers
of the county.
The county already has a contract
with the Maui Electric Company,
which is not transferable, and as that
company has not been disincorporat-
ed a new contract can not be signed.
The board authorized the sheriff
to buy new automobile for not more
than $1,000.

taskmaster, nor resents them except
when long continued, and sometimes
not even then. Worn and weary, he
drags out his day in and out, whether
he is MORALLY i'll or weakened from
loss of rest or lack of food. He coins
his life-blood for his master, every
heart beat is for his masters welfare,
and he is truer to man than man is
to himself. In war, in peace, in sor.
row, in joy, in wealth, in poverty, the
horse, the nobility of tn animal race,
is the closest, most valuable, most
noble, most intelligent friend of man.
His name is benevolence.
