Mr.. and Mrs. Stansbury have return
ed home from their Eastern visit.
Trains are running mighty irregular
these days on account Of big SHOWS in
the east. No. 3 was annulled this morn
ing because of SHOWS in Chicago and
other northeastern cities. II is cold
and snowy all along the line and trains
have been from four to twelve hours
late. This will give them a chance to
miss a day and catch up with their
usual schedule.
II. c. Zillman, wife and daughter,
Miss June, will be here from Nara
Visa in charge Of the Vorenberg Ho-
tel during the absence Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Vorenberg, who will spend a month
at Mineral Wells, Texas, taking the
baths and resting. They will leave
next Wednesday and expect to ge gone
a month. Their friends hope they
will receive much benefit.
a number of Geological Survey men
have been here several weeks working
in the interest of the homesteaders
who are entities to more land. They
have covered most of the county and
will soon be ready to turn in their re-
port to the government. They found
very little irrigable land in Quay coun-
ty and classed most of the land as
grazing land it is understood.
b. +. Conger and family have NOV
ed to Tucumcari from their farm and
the children have started to school.
Mr.. Conger will leave Monday for Cal
iforna to learn more about the Taft
Oil Field where he has invested con
siderable money. Mr.. Conger made
good at dry-farming and he will make
good at anything where honesty and
perseverance have anything to do
with the case.
Last Friday wa the coolest day of
the winter so far. The thermometer
at the Government station registered
three below zero. Some of the other
thermometers around town went as
wv" 90 NNN'I btlo". ~ wac surf 'ols,
but on the same day the official regis
ter at Amarillo was eight below. Mis-
cry loves company, so when it is cold
here there is some consolation that il
was colder somewhere else close.
