Commercial Club Makes Slow But
Good Progress and Scores a
Point or Two.
For over four months the Com-
mercial Club has been working to
have a postal clerk put on the morn-
ing train so that toe Hereford pub-
lic could mail important letters at
train time and not be compelled to
get this matter in the postoffice at
an unusually early hour in the morn-
ing or else wait until the afternoon
mail train, causing serious delays in
many instances. The Club went
after Uncle Sam, and after the slow
governmental wheels had traveled
around several times the reply came
that Samuel was willing and would
put on the clerk when the Santa Fe
saw fit to furnish a suitable mail
car.
The Club then went after the
Senta Fe, and the following letter,
dated Sept. 23, was received a few
days ago by the secretary.
••Noting your letter September
16th requesting that we arrange for
a compartment mail car so that the
government can place a postal clerk!
on trains 37 and 38 :
MWe now have a suitable car in
sight and hope to put it in service
in a very short time."
Yours truly,
(Signed) Avery Turner.
All of which sounds good and
may mean business. The Club pro*
poses to keep right in the wake of
the Santa Fe until the car materal-1
izes.
More Sidewalks.
W. B. Dameron started the side-
walk campaign anew this week by i
having 140 feet of ten foot cement
walk put down on the south south
side of the Coulson Drug Store.!
On the opposite side of the street Mr. i
McMinn is having a ten-foot walk
put down in front of his new brick j
building. This should be a signal'
for everybody on E. 3rd Street to |
make contracts for sidewalks.

Dalhart. Sept. 28—By a happy
co-incidence tne work of track laying
on the E. 0. & W. R. R., began
at the Dalhart terminal Thursday
and the ceremonies attending the
driving of the first spike were wit-
r.essrd by a large crowd of home-
t'oUs and visitors.
A great number of people fell in-
to line at the corner of Third and
Denrock and marched to the point
where the E 0. & W., connects
with the Rock Island. The parade
was led by Mayor W. D. Wagner
and A. E. Wiest Vice-president of
the road followed by the band.
Before driving the first spike: the
Mayor made a brief address in which
he told of the progress of the rail-
road from its incipiency to the pres-
ent time, and he said that a year
ago it had been promised that actual
construction would begin within a
year and that the promise had been
fulfilled, and that the great project
would go on to completion without a
thought of failure or delay.
The crowd lined up on both sides
of the track, the photographer took
pictures while the Mayor drove the
first spike on the E. 0. & W. R. R.
Two more cars of steel came in
Thursday night and all of it has
been ordered to complete the road
to Dumas aod it will keep coming
and will be laid as fast as it arrives.
The farm products on exhibition
in the exposition hall would have
been a splendid advertisment for any
country in the world, for everything
that can be grown in the temperate
one was there and of a kind that
was proof that they can be and are
grown with success in the Dalhart
Country.

The Velie Motor Car
flT Has for its most important feature—POWER—that subtle something that takes
^1 you up the steepest hills, thu the thickest mud and over the roughest country.
You feel it and because of it you have the assurance of getting there and back. The
finish and design of the VELIE suits the most fastidious. Everyone who sees the
VELIE comments on its good looks. The VELIE is not built for a rac^r but look
what it did on the Algonquin Hills near Chicago.

This should be convincing indeed, that the VELIE AUTOMOBILE has power enough even if the motor

GARRISON BROS.
C. C. Ferguson returned Thursday
from a tour of the western and north-
ern states passing enroute through
thirteen states, and as it usually hap-
pens with every one who makes the
coast trip, he returns fully satisfied
with Hereford and the Panhandle.
He says if one dollar had been spent
for improving Panhandle land when
a thousand has been spent in Cali-
fornia, that we would have better
conditions than now exist in the
coast states.
