Prosperity reigns supreme IN the
great South Plains country, and
Lubbock, the Hub, is seathing with
activity as products Of the ranch,
farm and stock-farm are shipped TO
outside markets.
This prosperity, or rather this
reign Of prosperity is here for keeps.
The city Of Lubbock is going to
turn loose in this immediate section
in the near future something in the
neighborhoOd Of one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars.
This one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars is to be spent for water
and sewer extensions in the city.
Bids will be read nj the City Secre-
tary's office on November 3, to de-
termine who has the job Of doing
this work, and Immediately there
after actual construction and re-
construction work will be started
The sewer disposal plant on the
canyon is TO be rebuilt throughout
the new plant 10 be Of much greater
capacity than the present one. Sew
er and water mains will be laid, all
this work requiring greater eNpendi-
bire for labor than for materials,
and IL is known TO all that the
greater per cent Of what is spent
for labor will be put into circula-
tion in This immediate vicinity, and
as the work that is to be done will
require no little time, II is alto
gether liable that this money will
be released in period Of time
which shall greatly stimulate busi-
ness for Lubbock merchants.
The cotton and livestock ship
ments that are being made from
Lubbock daily are Of such proper
tions as to make anyone interested
in Lubbock and the South Plains
proud, and the happy expressions
that are seen on the faces Of our
people are indications Of these pros
porous times.
The city of Lubbock has made
wonderful strides in growth for the
past several years as we all know
but through increasing efficiency
and service Of the water works, a
new avenue Of developments is
opened, through which many needed
and worthy Improvements will be
made.
Percy Spencer, Mayor Of Lub-
bock says the noticeable develop
meuts that shall come in Lubbock
as a direct result Of the water and
sewer main extensions viii make
the most optimistic booster in this
section wonder at the immediate
hangc, and we are not az all sur
prised at this assertion The Hub
Of the Plains Is destined 90 become
the greatest city in all West Texas
and why should we look for some
miraculous something to happen to
bring about that condition? Lub
bo viii never grow overnight. This
city was not started that way. and

Fremen Entertained
Their Wives Monday
With a Banquet

Fortunate indeed are the wives
of the local firemen. as on Monday
evening they were guests Of their
husbands at a banquet at the fire
hall. which was typical Of the ban
quets enjoyed by the firemen, and
we are sure the occasion was an
enjoyed one throughout
During the banquet an alarm was
turned in calling the firemen to the
west edge of town, and on arriving
at the place they found no fire on
which to make an attack, and Il Is
believed that some Of the guests
were responsible for the prank, and
knowing the keenness Of the appe-
tites of those men, we could not
blame anyone for employing most
any means Of calling them from the
festive board, provided that one
wished to partake Of the food.
II was a great time they all had,
and we are indeed glad to know
that though the table was well load
ed with good things to eat, most all
the firemen are by this time re-
covered from the effects Of relieving
the table of its load. and are ready
90 defend the city or any part Of u
against the fire demon.

The United Press.
Austin. Texas, Oct. lS.--Game of
all kinds. especially antelope. deer,
and mountain sheep in the West
ern part of the State, and migratory
BIRDS. such as quail. doves. etc, all
over Texas will be practically ex-
tinct in a few years unless protect
ed by additional game laws, and
stricter enforcement Of those stand
ing. according to the recent report
Of w. W. Boyd. state game, fish
and oyster commissioner.
Sheep and antelope are fast dis
appearing from the slopes of West
Texas and in the northern part Of
the State one will drive for miles
without seeing quail or doves, the
report states. In districts of West
Texas. quail are expected to survive
civilization, due to the importation
OF 1900 quail from Mexico.
To the heavy rains and high wa
tiers this spring are due TO large
part, the scarcity Of deer. Many OF
them were drowned by the waters
this spring or driven into the open
where they were slaughtered by un-
scrupulous hunters.
A large State game refuge IN the
Panhandle and readiustment Of the
open seasons. are suggested as rene
dies for this condition in Mr.. Boyd's

Bulger Resigns Captaincy
OF Colgate Track Team

HAMILTON, N. Y, Nov. 13.-Arthur
Bulger, Of Malone, N. Y, holder Of the
state and national American Legion
championships for the 22o-yard
hurdles, to-day resiged his captaincy
of the Colgate varsity track team fol-
lowing protest made by a fellow
classmate that he violated college
rule by participating in n football
game played in Utica Sunday, No
vember S, between the Y. NJ. C. A. and
te knights of Columbus.
Bulger admitted playing fullback for
the Knights of Columbus team, but en-
phatically denied that he received
money for playing.
ut was an amateur game pure and
simple" said Bulger to-day. "When
| agreed to play with the Knights
was given to understand that none of
the players was to receive money"
AS Bulger did not violate the A. A. |
U. rule it is believed that he will be
suspended for shtAt period and
reprimanded for violating a college
rule, which prohibits Colgate men.
from playing on teams other than
those under Colgate supervision.
