The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1913-09-25
A WARNING NOTE

The Avalanche is a stickler
for Lubbock, which fact all who
take the,time to read the paper
will know, we are anxious that
her future be well guarded and
provided for. We would that
as she is growing to be a city
that will some day have the bal
ance of power of all in the great
Panhandle and Plains country,
and we might add the entire
western half Of the state, have
the proper training; make her
grow right along without any
serious drawback; nurlshed by
the commercial trade of surround
ing territory. Lubbock has at
this time the prettest trade
territory of any town on the
plains. She has within her
power and under her influence
the trade to the west hne OF the
state and far over into New
Mexico, and for many miles in
each direction but THE word OF
warning. There MUST be
something done and that right
NOW to improve the roads to
this city from the west and the
southwest. People are going to
travel the roads that are the best,
even if theory have to travel a
few miles further in order to use
them. Then it is very important
that we GET BUSY and see that
there is no better road to any
other town than to Lubbock.
Indifference can kill more towns
than anything else, and the peo-
pie of Lubbock had better look
out. They can let something
slip out from under their thumb
that would hurt very materially,
The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1913-09-25

from shear neglect and indiffer-
ence. Let a wholesale house be
put in at Tahoka or Lamesa, and
see what we would lose. This
could be put entirely out of the
question by the Lubbock people
if they so desire. How? Simply
by removing the demand by max
ing our roads as good as those to
Tahoka for the freighters to haul
heavy loads over, and they will
come here, because thev rather
like to trade at Lubbock anyway.
The mail route is to this point
from that territory, hence more
convenient to buy their goods at
the same place that their mail
reaches the railroad. but there is
no use saying that they are 60
ing to come here anyhow. Lub-
book no doubt loses to other
places now five times what it
would cost to keep the roads in
good condition to the Terry coun-
ty line. That is as far as we
are asked to do this. Terry is
already connecting up to the line.
Now Lubbock MUST do her
part by putting the newly open
ed road in FIRST CLASS condi-
ton as soon as it can be done.
The time is at hand to move.
Get things in shape for the fall
and winter business now. Let
the people know by our actions
that we really want them to
come here and trade with US and
we are willing to furnish them a
good road to travel over and every
advantage and accommodation
that other towns cannot ever
hope to have. Fix the roads and
invite them to CUME TO LUB
BOOK.

Hurrah for Aspermont. watch

Aspermont Star.
OF course Aspermont is a
hummer, but we draw the line
and call a halt when the Star
says she is the best on the map.
Miss Lubbock claims dis
tinctions along this line and
taking her size into considera-
ton. we dare you TO beat her.
We are on the map broad sided

forget it. Come over Mr.. Star

LOOK OUT NOW

Plainview seems to be having
a streak of hard luck with some
exhibits being grown for the
State Fair. Sneak thieves stole
several pumpkins weighing neal
65 pounds each. and a couple o I
urchins went into the orchard Of
J. NJ. Waller and bit an apple
twice that measured Is inches in
diameter. Post City Post.
That amt fair If Plain
view doesn't get the prizes this
year, and her neighbor does,
especially on these specia
articles, she will raise a how
sure, and swear by her big wells
and numerous land sales that the
prize winners were swiped from
their premises.

STATE CAN PAY ITS WAY

The State tax rate will easily
produce enough funds 10 carry
the Government, according 10 an
estimate based upon tax rolls
from 80 counties that have been
filed by the Comptroller's De-
partment. The valuation has
without exception exceeded the
preliminary estimate which for
the State, totaled 81. 6lS. 634. l6S.
an increase of more than $50,
600, 600 over the previous year.
The increase for this year over
the preliminary estimate. is
thought to be about SIS, 600, 600.
The fact that the State will be
able to pay its warrants will be
good news 10 those who have
been having to discount them in
order 10 get any money on them
at all without waiting six. eight
or probably twelve months. To
our mind il seems that a state
with the wealth Texas has,
uld, under the proper manage
ment be made self sustaining al
all times except in case of the
most dire calamity. Fewer
Jobs and better pay will correct
the wrong TO a great extent.
On with the slogan.

Oregon Man Is Willing to
Marry Much-Feared
Mary Collier.

CHICAGO, NOV. A. Special. If
Mary Collier, the nurse who is
pursued by leprosy charges, des-
pite a clean bill of health given by
four Chicago physicians, cares to
change her mind about going
back to the New Brunswick leper
colony, there is man out West
who is willing to marry her.
A newspaper relating her trou-
bles found its way into the hands
of Frank Habelt, a railroad man
of Cecil, Or. He wrote Captain

detective bureau, and declared he
is willing to marry Miss Collier.
The aboveitem was taken from
the Wednesday Morning Oregon

ALL REFERRED MEAS
URES BUT ONE CARRY

At the special election on Tues
day, every measure carried with
the exception of the Sterilization
bill. The result of the election
means that the State University
will receive the SITS, 900 that was
appropriated some time ago for
new buildings and repairs for
the old ones. Every county will
have its own attorney and the
Workmen's Compensation act has
received the sanction of the
people.
Multnomah, the largest voting
county in the state supported the
University measures by a two to
one vote.
The election in Morrow county
was featured by lack of interest,
not only among the women but
the men as well. Another sad
feature of the election in this
county was the vote against the
University measures. However
the vote on these measures was
close. 1t must have been that
too many people felt like the re-
tired sheepman in Heppner who
said, MY am awfully afraid
those University bills are going to
carry. | hope they don't for we
have enough taxes to pay al
ready" While in reality he had
already paid this tax and did not
know it.
Here is given the total vote on
each measure in this county.
University repair fund, 3I8 yes.
322no. University new building,
BOG yes, 327 no. Sterilization act,
245 yes, 374 no. County attorney
act, 413 yes, 227 no. Workmen's
compensation act, 419 yes, 216 no.

1T is an established fact that
within the last two weeks whole
sale and retail prices Of meat
have increased from 10 to 20 per
cent in the interior of the United
States, and, mark you, this has
been done since the passage Of
the free meat bill, notwithstand-
ing the fact that wholesale meat
prices on the Atlantic seaboard
have fallen about 3 cents a pound.
Mr.. Haeenbarth says that he
does not expect a repetition of
the wool depression of 1866,
because the price of wool is bet

THE OLD HEPPNER
SCHOOL STORY
RUTH VAN vAcToR. 9TH Grade.

| received youl Kind letter asking
for my story. All | have one and
know that you should have it.
1t was many years ago that the
people planned me. and in the year
of 1892 | was completed. 1t was
with feeling of great pride, that the
people came to look upon my granduer
and to feel that l was theirs.
Ah how glowed with pride when
the old Americn flag was lifted above
my head.
Then came an armv of little
children to be moulded and fitted for
the rising generation. And slowly
they worked up until the first class
graduated with honor. How l sym
pathized with each little hoy that
with slow step and hesitation ar
rived at the professor door and there
received the sting of the old rawhide
for the pulling of some little girls
hair.
WCht Ou tu6 duNhu-
oed but stood still. Many genera
tions passed from my door. But here
comes another; they sneer at my shah
biness and find fault because l ha re
not all the modern conveniences.
They say they will not stay with me,
for the next wind will blow me over.
Then some men come. They say "we
must have new building" so at
nv very feet thev build a grand new
building and with never a backward |
glance the boys and girls take their
books and enter the new building,
leaving me alUns. Thew forget that |
| once was the pride of the people.
l am old. | bear the scars of
many a battle. l have stood the
storms and blasts, and now when my
life is almost gone l am deserted.
Girls and boys if you would do me
some kind deed to show that all my
years of protection and care have not
been in vain, l will meet my doom
which will come ere long, rejoicing.

That the Dalles-Celilo Canal will
be completed and ready for the passage
of boats in about another year is the
opinion of F. q. Schubert of the
United States Engineers, who has
had charge of the work. With nearly
all of the Government appropriation
available. labor plentiful and weather
conditions favorable. the work is be-
ing pushed forward faster than ever
before, and unless the June rise of
the Columbia is unusually great. it is
believed that next Fall will see boats
passing freely from Portland to points
on the Upper COLUMBIA and Snake
rivers.
