Speaking about weather, how
does this strike you?
The Hereford Sanitary and Im-
provement Society deserves another
long credit mark. This society was
the means of having buried several
dead animals that lay along the
creek, a constant menace to the
health of our town. Let the good
work go on.

"Hereford is the most progres-
sive and best town I ever saw for
its age," said a prospector to the
Reporter representative recently.
If I can make the deal I am ex-
pecting to I shall have found what I
have been searching for for years—
a healthy, ideal place for a home,
where my children can and will have
good educational advantages and be
free from the demoralising effects of
bad company."
Said a Canyon City business
man, in conversation with the Re-
porter representative, - while in
that town recently: "Hereford is
bound to get most of the freighting
business now on account of this
town having no liquor business. Of
course I don't favor having in a
town such joints as we had here", but
I believe that a saloon conducted in
the same law-abiding manner as is
the one in your town, is a good
thing for a town. There is no use
of talking, ranchmen and cowboys
will give preference to the town
having a saloon." There is no
doubt but that the citizens of Here-
ford would seriously object to the
opening of a "joint" in this town,
in fact we doubt if anyone else
Would be able to open up a liquor
business of any kind here. The
one we have supplies all needs and
oar young men art entirely free
from the usually demoralising ef-
fects of a saloon.

Quanah and Roswell are clamor-
ing for an opera house. By the
way, what has become of the opera
house project started here some
time ago?

A short time ago one of our
citizens came into this office and
ordered the Reporter sent to
another address, saying that he
was going away for awhile. He
got to his destination about noon
and met several old friends who
commented on his healthy looks.
He received so many compliments
as to his health that he took the
evening train back to Hereford,
saying that he had been searching
for fifteen years for a healthy
place in which to reside and after
having found it he was not going
to be so short-sighted as to stay
away from it.

The Reporter representative has
heard a very few men say that they
would not join the Hereford Sanitary
and Improvement Society because it
"costs fifty cents, and besides,
the society hasn't done any good to
the town anyway." What we would

like to say to such individuals would
not look well in print. However,
we will say that if they would come
out of their lethergy and take the
time to look into the acts of this
same society, or even attend its
meetings, they would find that the
society has been the means of pre-
venting a siege of sickness among
our citizens this summer, by their
successful efforts to have the dead
animals and other germ catching
and germ dispensing refuse cleaned
up and buried; that they have been
the means of materially improving
the present and future looks of, the
town by the planting of trees and
flowers, the grading and seeding of
lawns, the picking up of wire, rub-
bish, etc., from around the residences
and business places, and have also
been the direct means of improving
our city park so that in a few short
years it will be one of the town's
chief places of interest and recrea-
tion. Wake up! you sleepy heads,
and take an interest in the making
of the best town on the plains.
