several other places about the
body in the region of the heart
and shoulders. from which Smith
died in few minutes.

TO RECLAIM PANHANDLE TRACT
CapitoI Land Company Said to Own
10000 Acres in Excess ofGrant
Survey Planned

Austin, Aug. 9. The state of
Texas is preparing to reclaim a
tract of land valued at Sl8, 900, =
600. As nearly every Texan
knows, many years ago the state
granted to John Y. Farwel of
Chicago and his associates a solid
tract of land in the Panhandle.
consisting Of 1900. 900 acres in
exchange for the state capitol.
The land. twenty-five years
ago, was worth so cents an acre
and was regarded as worthless
for agricultural or even for graz
ing purposes. Only in the last
few years has the man with the
hoe INVADED that region, demon
strated that crops can be raised
there and increased values to S25
per acre.
Several months ago when en-.
gineers were making a resurvey
of the boundary line between
New Mexico and Texas they
made the discovery that the land
embraced in the capitol land
grant. as il is called, is much in
excess Of 1900. 600 acres. In a
report to the state Legislature il
is charged the syndicate holds
about 200. 600 more acres than
il is entitled to.
When this fact became known
recently, representative Of the /
company declared that while it .
occupied more land than called
FOR, the excess was only 80. 900
acres and that the company
merely took what was offered
md that il was the fault Of the
tate. But investigators now
lssert that the excess is 750. 900
lcres or more.
In order TO determine the
'xsct boundaries of the big tract
he state will again survey and
will take back the excess land. I
{ the amount is $50. 900 acres. il
will bring to the state SlS. 000.-
90 in revenue. All of the land
; good. Farming already is
cuveIy engaged in in many parts
( the tract. A sea of pure
later underlies the tract and il
an be tapped at a shallow depth

xpense. Many such wells are
lready in operation.

few days, the yield will be i'm
mense Cotton is not in the
least hurt the fact is, its ideal
cotton weather and the plant is
well fruited. Harvest has begun
and farmers are going to be the
busiest set in the country from
now on till the big crop is in the
silo. the barn or in the rick.
Farm hands are going to be in
demand soon. Harvesting
machinery is being hauled out
to the big farms and the fact
that fast machinery will be used
and the latest improved methods
adopted is the only way that our
farmers can possibly get their
crops gathered. Ii is a good
time to be getting that exhibit
for the fair and the farmer
should cooperate with the
Chamber of Commerce in pro-
viding stuff for the exhibit.
Lets all pull together. Pros
pectors can readily see what a
magnificent country we have.
Why not get in the collar and
pull for a bigger Lubbock and
the better development of the
South Plains. Come to Lubbock.
