THAT RAILROAD WEST FROM LUBBOCK

Well let's do ii There ISM man in Lubbock
who is acquainted with conditions on the Plains and
with Lubbock ambitions who ism aware OF the abb
solute NECESSITY of a railroad west Most every
person acquainted with these facts has secretely
hoped that the Santa Fe Railroad would build 1t.
For the past four years we have all hoped that with
in the next two years there would be some action
taken upon such project. There is visible evi-
dence Of the Santa Re building such road in the i'm

for expecting such action.
Now is the psychological time to build that road

SETTLING UP THE PLAINS

Lubbock is almost on boom, far as building
Is concerned With half dozen good brick bust
ness houses going up. and with the large number OF
residence buildings also under the hammer, there
is certainly something doing, and still the demand
has no, been supplied. Prospectors are here every
day looking for locations for various business lines
and people are here wanting houses in which to
live. This Is mighty fine. and things are going to
be lively in Lubbock this summer and fall. With
the disasters that have in other sections OF the
State and in other states there will be lot OF folks
who will want to leave those sections and come west
and there will be great demand for farms. and
rent houses in this section the latter part OF this year

get them under the plow right away, and have land

ton OF their homes and for civilization, in the
World War not so long since ended. The actions
Of these brave boys will naturally stand out promin
emily in the memories of American people Lubbock
is paying tribute to not only the boys who fought
in the recent war. but they going back through
the Spanish American War, to pay tribute to those
who died on the battlefields in that war and then
back to the war between the States. and will spread
flowers upon the graves Of every deceased soldier
who participated in that struggle.
Lubbock should stand with barred heads-this
entire country should cease the daily grind. and
take time to turn back review the memories Of dear
ones and friends who have paid the highest price
possible for the safety of home and country
