Structural Iron for Bridge Arrives
via Santa Fe. Sixteem Miles
Now Graded.
The structural iron for the big
concrete bridge or culvert across the
Paladuro eighteen miles northwest
from Hereford, on the C H. & G.
railway, arrived in Hereford on
Tuesday of this week via the Santa
Fe. There is a big car load of it
and the material will be hauled out
to the Paladuro at once. The ce-
ment, sand and other material has
been placed on the ground some
weeks and the work has been held
up waiting for this shipment of iron.
The graders are working full time
on the line from Adrian south and
about sixteen miles have been cov-
ered. The culvert will be com-
pleted by the time the graders strike
the draw, and the work will be
pushed right through. The grad-
ing will in all probability be finished
to Hereford by January 1. This
will be thirty days ahead of the time
allowed.
One of the grading outfits pitched
tent Wednesday afternoon in north
Hereford and are now at work on
the line in the city limits. This
gang will work north to meet the
Adrian graders.

That the Panhandle exhibit at the
great Texas State Fair at Dallas
took the grand sweepstakes prize of
5100.00 is no surprise to the people
of the Plains, but to the North and
East Texas farmers, it is a gaping
wonder.- For such a record to be
published to the worl^ will rebound
to the credit and honor of every
county in the Panhandle and West
Texas, when many have so insiduous-
ly and presistently claimed that the
Plains of Texas were not adapted to
farming and was nothing more than
a desert, cactus plain, where the
screach owl and the rattle snake
made up the principal inhabitants.
Taking the twelve counties out of
the fifty-four in the Panhandle and
Western Texas that had exhibits at
the Fair, the honors have been about
equally divided. These counties
were : Dallham, located in the ex-
treme northwestern part of the state ;
Moore, conering with Dallam; Pot-
ter, near the center of the Panhandle
proper; Swisher, Briscoe, Hale and
Floyd, forming a square in the south
part of the Panhandle; Gray and
Wheeler, near the Oklahoma line ;
Childress, Hall and Donley, the first
three counties on the Denver road
as entrance is made to the Panhandle.
Each and every one of these counties
carried off from two to three prizes
and all of them won the Grand Sweep-
stakes of $100.00 in cash. Last
year, Deaf Smith county, carried
off five first and one second prize,
taking them on Kaffir, maize, cab-
bage, kershaws, alfalfa and beets.
This year prizes were taken by these
twelve counties as follows : Wine-
sap apple, Ben Davis apple, York
Imperial apple, sweet potatoes, beets,
celery, squash, kershaw, turnips,
sugar beets, wheat, com stalks, red
rust-proof oats, alfalfa. What a
grand catalog of prize winners ! No
longer will the Bonham News sing
for his old friends to come back
from the "Windy West." Not an-
other time will the McKinney Ex-
aminer speak of the Plains as no
place for decent people to live. What
will become of the poor fellows who
think that the wind blows twenty-six
hour? out of every day on the Plains,
because the East Texas papers said
so. Well, it's a mighty ill wind
that blows nobody some good. If
the Panhandle gets another breeze
like that one that struck them at the
Dallas Fair, the railroads will have
to double their equipment in order
¡ to bring new people into the country.
What do the people of Iowa and
Illinois, Ohio and Kentucky think of
| the result of the Dallas exhibit?
They must know that when the Plains
jof Texas can ship their stuff four
'hundred miles and win practically
! all the first and second prizes offered
¡ on the field and garden products and
j that too over the entire state in com-
Í petition, that here must be some-
! thing in the soil and farming methods
of the Plainsman. Let them come
to Texas and see for themselves.
No Long Waiting.
