STeReTT HIGHLY PLEASED
Says Resolution OF Sheriffs' AS
socaton is Great Aid
10 His Office

Austin. Tex. July 10. Col.
G. Sterrett, Game. Fish and Oys-
ter Commissioner. said tonight
The resolution of the Sheriffs
Association. pledging its mem
bership to hearty cooperation
with the Game. Fish and Oyster
Commissioner in enforcing the
game and fish and oyster laws Of
the state, means more for the
protection of the fish and game
Of our state than anything | have
ever done or the legislature has
ever done in that direction.
Heretofore the sherifs and con-
stables of the state appear to
have believed that as the law
provided for a commissioner TO
look after the enforcement of
the game and fish laws, he and
his deputies were alone to be
held responsible for their en-
forcement. The sheriffs in their
meeting here today, never more
emphatically stated their loyalty
to duty, and testified their inter-
est in their state than when they
resolved TO assist the Game. Fish
and Oyster Commissioner in pro-
tecting the building up to its old
time richness the States great
material and sentimental wealth
which il possesses in its birds,
its game and its fish. Actually,
| would rather have this resoIu-
ton of the sheriffs behind me in
endeavoring to protect our game
and fish than $50. 900 in cash for
that purpose. For with the
sheriffs Jealous in the work
which they promise the day of
the man VINO violates the game
and fish laws with impunity is
gone

The LUBBOCK CEMETERY
Grounds Need Attention, Con-
dtIons Anything but Favorable.
Immediate Action Necessary

A number of times the Ava
lanche has called attention to the
condition of the cemetery, that
Lubbock calls her city Of the
dead, and urged that some action
be taken to improve the general
appearance of this plat Of land,
and make il look like it was in a
civilized country
We, in company with two
other men visited the cemetery
last Monday, and found that
there is much work to be done in
order to put the grounds in any
thing like decent condition.
Mr.. Ed Robinson was author
ized about a year ago TO go ahead
and make such improvements as
he saw fit. and at the time mad a
wire fence put around the ten
acres. sufficient TO keep cattle
out, but this is not sufficient.
The cemetery is the nesting
place for rabbits, and prairie
dogs, and they keep the graves
IN bad condition by scratching
holes in the mound. and scatter
ing the dirt 80 that when il rains
the water runs into the grave
and caves them IN. some Of them
sinking during the last rain to
almost half the depth Of the
vault.
Mr.. Robinson does not care to
take further steps upon the
authority vested in him. and de-
sires that a public meeting be
held and decide what is the
proper thing to DO. and get later
instructions.
Saturday evening at 1880 is
the time for the meeting of the
Civic league. and il was decided
to ask the Cemetery association
to meet at the same time. and
have a Joint session OF the two
bodies. Let everyone who is
interested in the Cemetery
attend this meeting and talk the
over and let us get 10
work and have some improve
ments made right away.

ROADS MUST REFUND MONEY
Would Demand Amount Collected
Above Two Cent Fare Since
Law Became Effective

Jefferson City Mo-, July II.
If the railroads do not show an
inclination TO make prompt re-
fund 10 those proving their
claims for overcharges account
of the % passenger rate law de-
cision the state may take a hand
in adjusting those claims and If
il does. the railroads would be
called upon to refund all the
money in excess of the &c per
mile they have collected since the
&c law became effective.
The Attorney Generals De-
partment is looking into the ques-
ton to determine what action
may be taken.
Assistant Attorney General
Fitch said today:
According TO the decision OF
Judge Hughes. the railroads have
had no right to collect the extra
lc or l-2 they charged above
the &c rate and having no right
to collect, they have no right to
keen IL and III the people of the
state who have paid this money
do not make proper proof of
claim for it, then the money
necessarily must revert to the
state and will 90 into the State
Treasury"
What is true of the &c rate law
is also true of the maximum
freight rate law.
The state has figured that the
money collected by the railroads
in violation of these laws since
they were enacted amounts to
more than SIT. 900. 900.

Had the average citizen ever
stopped to think that for four
solid years there has not been a
day that there was not under

stantial brick, cement or concrete
building. It's true the work
continues through not or cold
weather wet or dry. and that is
what has planted the confidence
Of the people in Lubbock so
firmly that nothing but success
can follow.
Even through the dull season
Of summer months there has
been great activity in building
circles. You will catch while
reading through this issue that
there are a number OF new build
ings TO be commenced next week.
and still others will follow in the
course Of the next thirty to sixty
days There is always something

believes that there will be some
good money made out Of his
herds this fall and next spring.
The South Plains country is in
the midst of year Of prosperity
and her people are feeling good.
Improvements are found in the
country homes and farms and
ranches such as has never been
seen before.
The only probable hinderance
will be the scarcity of labor, and
this may became serious handi-
cap when crop gathering time
comes. but with the late improved
machinery that most all the
farmers have in this country. one
man can do great deal toward
putting up an immense amount
of crop.
If YOU are seeking work. and
want il in an ideal climate.

and in a white mans country.
we would advise you to coms to
