TOWNS ALONG THE ROUTE ARE VERY
ENTHUSIASTIC OVER THE PROPOSED
ROAD FROM Fl. WORTH TO PLAINS

Stamford. Texas, Dec. l4.-Stam-
ford citizens are taking keen inter
est in the proposed railroad connect
tions between Fort Worth and the
plains. Il is pointed out by those
here who have studied the matter
thoroughly that a line from Fort
Worth TO Stamford, thence west TO
the Plains is the best unOccupicd ter
ritory for railroad in the entire
country. These men point 90 the
fact a sixthtonth Of one per cent
grade can be secured the entire dis
lance and that there is no road lead
ing into Fort Worth even at this time
that viii afford more present tom
mage or agricultural products, oil,
coal, and livestock than this road
would afford. Most Of these pro-
ducts are now shipped 20 the gulf
ports. Through Fort Worth would
be the practical and economical road
for this entire section.
Development Grows.
II is further shown that the
Plains country including Floyd, Cros-
by, Dickens, Lubbock and other coun-
ties are the coming agricultural Sec
tons Of the State and that the dcvel-
Opment in the Plains country and be-
tween Stamford and Fort Worth for
the past few years has been a little
less than marvellous.

deal of interest is manifested here
in the proposed railroad from Fort
Worth to the South Plains country,
and it Is said by business men that
Roby and Fisher County viii raise
$4,000 IN any manner desired by
the builders for its construction Of

The ideal route for this road ac-
cording 20 these men would be from
Fort Worth 20 Weatherford, Mineral
Wells, Breckenridge, Albany, Anson,

PULLMAN GUARDSMEN
ENJOYING CAMP LIFE

Camp Mckay, July 12.-Company

We are situated on the shores of
American lake, three miles from
Camp Lewis and II miles from Ia

lent connections with all parts of the
northwestern portion of the state.
Several members of the company
took part in the athletic contests on
the Fourth. Every evening the men
from all the companies congregate
at the ''Y' to sing and play and do
stunts.
There are several boat houses near
the camp and the men avail them
selves of the opportunity to row in
the canoes and larger boats. The
swimming is fine and the bath houses
are we'll patronized.
Added attractions, intended to
brighten and render the passage of
time less monotonous are occasional
fire calls. This morning at 1890
fire call sounded and out they piled
/ in their BY ID. s or anything, just so
they might answer the call with the
most speed possible. Everything
must be dropped at the sound of that
call and everyone must collect in the
company street until relieved or re-
call sounds.
We are having a good time, but
will be glad to get back home.

BROWNSON TALKS TO
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

F. O. Brownson of Wichita, Kan,
former president of the Pullman
chamber of commerce, was a guest
of the chamber Tuesday and gave
an interesting talk to the members.
Conditions in the central states are
improving, he said, with favorable
crops, and that district is on the
mend from an economic standpoint
Millions of dollars have come into
Wichita in the last five years from
the oil industry, but the sharp re-
auctions in the price of oil have SER
iously hampered many oil concerns
recently Mr.. Brownson stated his
opinion that the high freight rates
are demoralizing the lumber indus
try, stating that the freight on a
car of lumber from Seattle to Wich-
tia is twice as much as the original
! cost of the lumber.

BILLIE" SMITH INVITES
PULLMANITES TO CHARLESTON

w. b. ("Billie'') Smith, of State
College football fame. is out with a
most cordial invitation to the people
of Pullman to take advantage of the
bathing facilities provided by the
good people of Charleston. In a let
ter to The Herald this week Mr.
Smith says:
am taking the liberty of writing
you regarding our bathing beach
here at Charleston as | believe it will
interest your people Last summer
many people from your community
took advantage of the splendid bath
ing facilities we have here and i am
sure they will be interested in know
ing that the beach is now open.
We are favored with a natural
jetty of rock extending into the river
Just east of town. on the east end of
our city park. This jetty has de-
Elected the current to the Lewiston
side, thus a fine beach OF clean sand
has been deposited on our side OF
the river. while a large pool of com
paratiyely still water makes bathing
facilities the best in the interior.
Having a large beach situated close
to town with a pool of clear, clean
water free from treacherous cur
rents, one can readily see how nat
ural bathing area has'been formed
The sand extends clear to the cen
ter of the river, thus the swimming
pool is free from rocks. The beach
faces the east so the sun is at the
bather's back and not reflected from
the water into his face. High bluffs
to the west protect from the wind
and there is no sand blowing. Three
good roads make the beach easy to
reach.
We are equipping the beach with
electric lights running water, show
er baths, bathing houses, dressing
rooms, stands selling CONNECTIONS,
soft drinks, sandwiches, lunches,
etc Motor and row boats are avail
able for hire Life guards are on
duty at ali times, while segregated
swimming pools have been provided
for beginners and women and chill
dren The beach is under the CON
troll of responsible parties working
under the supervision of the city au-
thorities, thus insuring absolute re-
spectability.
Last summer as high as $500 peo-
pie assembled on the beach at one
time, while hundreds enjoy them
selves every evening. Many people
from Pullman were present last year
and will be interested in knowing
that we have enlarged the buildings,
installed lights, water. etc. A splen-
did evenings outing or a Sunday pic
mic may be provided by motoring
down the lewiston Charleston Scenic
highway, cross the Lewiston-Clarks-
ton bridge, lunch in the Charleston
park and swim or picnic on Clarks-
ton beach. The beach is situated at
the end of east Chestnut street,
Charleston, Wash.
Very truly yours.
