The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1922-01-03

The entire Avalanche force has
a right 20 be proud OF their part in
the publication Of the paper during
the past year, which was celebrated
with a banquet at the Cova Hotel
Saturday night More than thirty
persons were present, and nice pro-
gram carried out
j. A. Rix, president Of the Senior
Chamber of Commerce was toast
master, and through his efforts the
banquet was made better.
The program was opened with two
splendid number by Mrs. W. n
Starnes with piano accompaniment by
Mrs. Mamie Neal, which was demon
strativc of these ladies ability 20 en-
tertain and enjoyed by all present,
Curtis A. Keen gave a toast 10 the
boys who put the paper in newspa-
per-" followed by three comical read
ings by Mrs. Keen and a toast TO the
editor, in which she gave the editorial
utterances credit FOR much Of the
progress of the town and community
In response Mr.. Dow gave an account
Of his arrival az Lubbock, sixteen
wears dKts IN WHICH lNt llNN'ff hhg
Of rewspapering on the Plains were
completely and wildly brought "a
view. He was followed by an ad-
dress by Judge Moore, an old-timer
in Lubbock, who has been intimately
associated with the Avalanche and
is management for a good many
years. He credited il with being the
livest and best paper on the Plains
since it's first publication and assured
everyone who has been associated
with Il throughout 1921 that their
work was appreciated by the entire
town, and was conducive % better
things for Lubbock. The judge re-
members the days when the Ava
lanche was one-man weekly, and
spoke highly Of the confidence the
management, had in Lubbock 20 equip
the plant 90 meet the present de-
mands Of the business men.
Phil r. McLa ~. staff -Correspon-
dent for the Star Telegram was pres
ent. and made n talk on what he want
ed 10 accomplish for the PlEins, which
was another assurance that we have
the combined strength - those peo-
pie working for the best interests o.
this section.
A very appropriate address was
made By Ray Caldwell, representing
the Hearst interests, who stated that

Cattle
Here Is Helping
Many Farmers

There are now two hundred head
Of steers at the feeding pens near
The compress where J. F. Mcdonald
is piling the Lubbock county feed 20
the troughs each day, and which is
showing wonderful results in the
growth and fattening Of these cattle
The other eight hundred, to make
a total Of one thousand OF when we
wrote an article in a recent issue OF
the Avalanche, will arrive tn te'H
days. and will be put on the feed I'M,
mediatelv. and Mr.. Mcdonald said
there was enough feed aireaoy on
hand TO keep them for a good iong
time. and he has now more than four
hundred tons on the yards. He IS
feeding them on a maize, corn and
kaffir MIXTURE, which is ground ana
nlaced in long troughs, and he SAID
that as soon as the cattle are used 70
the feed the troughs viii be kept FIJI
ed al all times in order that they
may eat at will.
A carload Of hogs was recently
shipped here from Brentwood, ana
turned loose in the feeding pens,
which will pick up all waste, and
thereby make the feeding proposition
n two-cornered proposition, with
good profit from each angle.
That the feeding and finishing OF
cattle will be a big winner for the
Plains is demonstrated in the tact
that in spite Of there being absolutely
no paying foreign market for corn,
Mr.. Mcdonald has created the mar
ket here, and has bought between
ten and fifteen thousand dollars
worth Of feed from Lubbock county
farmers, which is indeed a progress
i've and commendable part he has
PLAYED in helping to make farming
paying business on the Plains.
We are sure that those who watch
the development Of feeding home
raised cattle on home grown feed VIII
come 10 see that 10 has a great place
in the development Of the Plains, and
as this was originally a ranchng
country we will all see that TO NIX
the farming and ranching business
here will prove very helpful 20 the
entire area Of West Texas

Stamford. Dec. Homer ID.
Wade, city manager u Stamford and
secretary Of the Stamford Chamber
Of Commerce. IN statement today
pointed out that the feasible route
Tor the new railroad proposed 70 be
built from Fort Worth 90 the South
Plains Of West Texas would be
through he oil fields 90 Stamford,
thence via the already built Stam-
ford 4 Northwestern 20 Spur, where
n pap Of only ;hirty-fivc cniles would
be necessary 20 fiil IN order that the
entire Plains cour'ry would be put
IN juxiaposition With Fort Worth and
East Texas.
Plan Explained
"We see no reason for the cotly
building ~ a long line Of railroad
through Wes, Texas in order to put
Fort Worth IN touch with The gran
AIRY OF the state" declared Mr. Wade
today. "The Stamford 4 Northwest
ern obviates the necessity Of con-
structing eighty-two miles OF such
railway. A line from Stamford TO
Fort Worth. a matter Of less than 100
miles. and filling OF the gap from
Spur 10 the SaG'l Fe. distance OF
approximately 'hirty-fivc Tsiles, these
are the only problems which we must
meet. When Fort Worth gets ready
for the discussion Of the matter we
feel that We shall be able 10 convince
those interests viiallv concerned that
the Plan we enunciate is the most
practicable and feasible AT this time.
"It is fact that not all the towns
that want the new road VII get t..
This could not be done very well
without huilding n series Of parallel
lines. West Texas rs a whole needs
another through Inc from The Pan
thcr city,to the Plains. and I desires

most prosperous section Of the West.

ity Of its making was upon them, and
deserved their best efforts and in
gonuity. He recently returned from
a trip 90 Juarez where he wrote some
articles for his publication and VIII
also feature some items about this
occasion.
G. L. Trim, linotype operator, and
W. c. Edwards, shop foreman, made
interesting talks, in which they. as
suyed their hearers that they had re-
ceived courteous consideration at
the hands Of their employer, while
working here, and expressed great
hopes for the future growth OF thiS
paper, and from the manner in which
the entire mechanical force goes
about their work, the writer Is sure
that they are making every day
count for the paper, ard its better
appearance. These men are alive 20
the needs Of the printing industry,
and are well learned in the trade, we
were reminded by Mr.. Trim that
there was nothing lacking in the me-
chanical equipment with which they
work. Neal Douglass, Jr., talked on
the future prospects for the Ava
lanche. and expressed a desire 10 de-

J. +. Henderson, for the past four
years employed as secretary-treas-
urer Of the Avalanche made a very
interesting address on the possihlli-
ties Of the paper, and gave a brief
account Of his associations with the
people Of West Texas and Lubbock.
J.. C.. Holt, who has had the inter
est Of the Avalanche advertisers di-
rectly in view for the past four years
and who is more than anyone else
responsible for the good appearance
Of their advertisements, spoke IN be-
half cf the employees, and assured
Mr.. Dow that this occasion was
greatly appreciated.
The good Of this meeting will last
throughout the coming year, as the
social feature offered splendid OPP,
portunities for better understanding,
more knowledge of our separate du-
lies. and, in general, a higher opinion
of the work. which will be made
evident in every issue printed through
out 1922.
