Scholastic Increase
Indicates Our Very
RapidDevelopment

The scholastic census is about as
good a guide as 10 the development
Oh the country as can be found. and
from the figures furnished US by
the County Superintendent, Lub-
book county is going forward at
rapid gait, not only in the towns,
but in the rural communities. Last
year at this time 3s7s children were
enumerated, while this year we find
that 1905 were counted-an IN
crease over last year Of sos.
Lubbock County Is settling mp
about as fast as any county on the
Plains, II not faster. One reason
for this is we have one Of the best
agricultural counties in this section
Of the state. II is adapted 20 DIVER
sified farming. which Is big item
in its favor, and our farmers have
proven this beyond a doubt in past
wears. Another reason Is our SPLEEN
did schools in the rural sections Of
the county. Lubbock county prob
ably has better school buildings,
and more money TO run them than
any other county on the Plains, 80
far as the rural schools are con-
cerned. Mostly nine month schools
make this an attractive feature in
the location Of people who have fam
lies. and number Of them OF
school age. Then still another rea-
son is that Lubbock Is ''the Hub
Of the Plains" has better railroad
facilities than any other town IN
the South Plains, which offers bet
ter inducement for the farmer who
is diversifying. and needs good rail-
roads facilities Then the Lubbock
country as well as the city Of
Lubbock itself, is made up Of prog
ressive folks-oh, there are a few
grouches. tightwads, and moss-backs
here, but they are hopelessly IN the
minority, and are living an unbear-
able life, and will finally ease out.

Several Years Ago When Texas Had
A Freakish Land Law Some Interesting
Things Happened-Land Rush Of 1904

ended in blood she but there Is Q
tale Of contest which was spirited
and exciting but friendly. IL oc
Cured when the school land In Bor.
den County was put on the market
and il reported from the Borden Cit
izen Of date, March l7,l90i. The
writer says:
During the first ten days Of this
month, Gail was the scene OF 0
friendly yet very exciting conflict
between the Red and Blue Ribbons.
II Is perhaps unnecessary for us 20
state what causes the "Red Ribbons"
and "Blue Ribbons" espoused but for
the benefit Of those who never saw
Texas "land rush" we will go into
details as 20 the respective senti-
ments of the contending forces.
The Reds" are known in all parts
Of West Texas as the actual settlers
and the "Blues" are stockmen and
their cowboys.
Hence, since the present infamous
land laws OF Texas went into effect,
IL is always the strongest side that
wins-"might makes right" In
other words you must have more help
than the other fellow can get IL you
want TO take up school land in West
Texas. But to proceed;
Notwithstanding the fact that ev-
cry one was searched by the officers
and all pocket knives, etc, were TAX
en- away from them before they were
allowed TO enter the scene Of strife
as participants, ii was not a blood
less war wholly, for many and rough
were the scratches and tumbles; yet
good order prevailed, and with the
exception of few personal differ
ences, the kindliest feelings we're
promoted and sustained throughout
the contest.
Five sections Of land came on the
market on the 18th instant and three
on the 18th. Settlements had already
been made on the land and settler:
had been holding the clerks door foi
two or three months. The cattlemer
were none the less determined or
filing their applications, so a greai
struggle was freely predicted-ir
| fact was inevitable.
On February 20 a large number
of COW punchers arrived in towr
/ from various parts of the country
They took in the situation at once
donned the ribbon and finding tn,
enemy very weak they concluded e
take advantage of the situation. Bis
Bob Odom, Commander-in-chief OF
the Blue army held a short council
with his chiefs, and il was decided
TO make the attack at once. No soon
err resolved when they filed into tn,
Courthouse yard and into the hall
The struggle was short. About ter
minutes later they tossed the las
Red ribbon man out of the hall an6
then there went up yell from th'
Blues. a yell that would have stamp
eded an army Of Apaches. But thi'
move was probably made too soon
It gave time for reaction and reaction
