north plaint was evolved and the
secret 17 Instructed to take up the
work oi the organization of the clt-
liena of each count enlisting the
aid of tho ladles school teachers
and the children. The purpoe Is
to let each county form Its own Talo
Duro Park assoclsilon selecting !
head for each county then to form
general committee which Is to confer
and set with the general executive
committee in this connection the
following self-explanatory letter was
resj from Hon. W. E. Armstrong of
Hale county who was unavoidably
a boon t from th0 executive committee
meeting by reason of lllncsi;
Hale County Will Help.
Plalnvlew Texas Nov. 25. Hon.
Jasper N. Haney Chairman Palo
Duro prk Executive Committee.
Canyon City Texas. My Dear Sir:
I had hoped that you would select a
man bettor fitted and placed tfor
Hale county's place on the executive
comnilttee than myself and I did
even contemplate declining the hon-
or und asking for a humbler work
but have decided to accept In the
spirit In which tho appointment Is
made and pioilse to do my best. ' I
AM FOR THIS PARK.
I regret exceedingly that 1 cannot
meet with you this time but Judge
I nm physically unabio to go. I am
today under treatment of a doctor
Cut I assure you that I have such
confidence In tho gentlemen whom
you have selected on the committee
that I will assent to whatever they
In their wisdom see proper to out
lino.
I would like (o offer some sugges
tion as to the course I would pursue
in the organization of Hale county.
Flrnt I would appoint a com
mlttee to too called and to act as a
central committee with the chairman
unions I should be hat chairman In
ray present capacity. This commlt-
teo would proceed to organise tho
count)' Into local committees by
school precincts each precinct to
havo a chairman. 1 think that It
would be a good Idea to get each and
every cchool teacher In the county
Interented In the move anj have him
(or her) organize his school Into
working committee.
A Voluntary Tax for Fund.
If we can get SO centH or 11 from
each head of families and each bach
elor and JO cents each from the
school children. Hale county would
supply hundreds of dollars toward
meeting the necessary expenses
In tendering these suggestions I
assume that tho executive committee
will leave the particular organisation
of each county to the local commit-
tee. Since there may bo a number
of counties without representation
en the executive committee and since
it Is likely the executive committee
can have all that Its members can
attend to wlthou actlve participation
or direction of the county organiza-
tion It would 'be beat for the execu-
tive committee to make a call for
mass meetings from each county and
let the people perfect their own or-
ganization. This however I concede
will be decided by the committee at
Its present meeting and since I can-
not be with you I agree before hand
to accede to Its action.
If you will kindly supply me with
a report of the committee's action I
will go to work at once. ' I am al-
ready talking the matter up with
ppnjtle from all parts of the county
etui I sm meeting with favorable ex-
pVo-'St.MI.
If you wish to form any commlt-
f'v i this time I would suggest the
f'Ti-.nlng gentlemen as men who will

I will try to attend all other meet-
ings of the committee trusting that
nothing will Interfere to prevent U.
I had thought of preparing an ad-
dress to the people of Hale county
but on reflection think It beet to get
the suggestions of the committee as
to county organization. In the moan-
time I am talking. Most truly
yours W. E. ARMSTRONG.
Praise Armstrong' PJUa. .
The plans of Mr. Armstrong for
county organization were deemed
admirable and met the hearty ap-
proval of the committee. In the
work of the organizing the various
counties of the north plains and such
other organizations as nvight be
formed throughout the state Die sec.
retary was Instructed to auggeat the
adoption of the plan proposed by Mr.
Arnurong. It was explained that all
funds received would be accounted
for 'by the secretary aud treasurer
and that owing to the tremendous
amount of correspondence which
would be Involved It was obvious
that aome money would be needed
In the actual expenses. It was also
understood that no member of the
commlttee would receive any com
peusatlon for his labors; that their
6wn personal expenses In the move
mcnt would be borne by them lndl
vldually; In addition to giving the
time and effort to the matter and
paying their Individual expenses the
members of the committee would
also conrtlbute to the general fund.
Tress Alxtnre Commended
Mr. Henry A. Nobles then called
attention to the valuablo annlbtance
which could be rendered to this
movement by the press of the stste
In which all the committee thor
oughly agreed and on motion the
editors of all the newspapers In the
state were made associate members
of the association and will be urged
to give as much publicity to the
movement as posHible the secretary
from time to time' furnishing them
with articles descriptive of the Palo
Duro and as well keeping them
posted and In touch with the pro
gress of the movement.
Captain Goodnight was then called
upon to give an account of his expe
riences in the canyon which were
very Interevtlng ' and as the first
movement he suggested that a prop
er topographical survey aud outline
of the region of the territory desired.
should bo first made. On motion the
secretary was InMructed to confer
with Mr. R. B. Newcomo of this city
arranging a meeting for some lime
convenient for Captain Ooodnlght
and the" three then to proceed to
make such a survey Mr Newcome
to draft a map .showing tho terri-
tory proposed to be. Included In the
Palo Duro national park v
Contilderable discussion was then
had as to the proper method of pro-
cedure and from Information fur-
nished by Hon. E. W. Fagan tit was
agreed that the first step was to se-
cure a preliminary survey by the
government commission and all en-
ergies will be bent In this direction
st the ensuing session of congress.
IVrpvtunl Museum of Natural History
.-Captain Ooodnlght brought out in
his talk- that by the establishment
of this park It U not only offering
a resort and1 by preserving such wild
animals as now exist there and stock
Ing It with the surplus animals from
the Yellowstone national park which
have Increased beyond convenient
limits It would afford a perpetual
museum of natural history for pres
ent and future generations. He also
called attention to the fact that
from $1500000 to $2000000 of
TexaB money was spent by Texas peo-
ple In Colorado resorts which afford
no grander scenery than that of the
Falo Duro. That In order to Bpond
this money they pnssed right by tho
scenilc spot that excelled anything
in Colorado and that for one he
was In tovar of keeping as much of
this Texas money In Texas as pos
sible.' '
After more of this general discus
sion the meeting was adjourned
subject to al call of the chairman.
STATION
Special to Dally Panhandle.
Outhrlo Okla. NoV. 27. That an
order .will be Issued requiring all
Oklahoma railroads doing an Inter-
state business to build stations on
the state line at points Intersected
by the various routes Is the n"
nouncemcnt of tho corporation coin-
mission.
The Importance of the departure
Is obvious. Under the present sched-
ule the Interstate passenger rate U
cents In spite of the fact that In
many of the states traversed the
maximum rate Is the some as In
Oklahoma 2 cents. Unable to change
the schedule the corporation com-
missioners resorted to the state line
depot plan as the only solution of
the proposition.
At these Intersections. tho order
requires the erection of a substan-
Ital depot where passengers shall be
allowed to buy tickets at the lora?
rates and recheck their baggage. As
It Is under the present regime a
passenger from Oklahoma to Kan-
sas pr Texas points must. pay the
old rate; despite tho existence of tho
reduced schedule In each of the
four states. Tourists have "been
buvlps pickets to tho town nearest
the state line and then paying their
fare on.th0 train to their dest'nv
tlon In the adjoining state where!
be legislature has provided for the
I cent basis. It Is expected that
the ruling of the department will do
away with this procedure.

WHAT DOES

Does it cheerfully report an abundance of beautiful
well kept hair or does it regretfully tell the story of
hair neglect?

permit your friends to see dull brittle and lusterless
hair with possibly dandruff and falling hair your mir-

All of these unfortunate effects can be overcome by

NEWBRO S
HEEPSC
The Original Remedy that
Dandruff with its consequent hair injury and hair loss is u
now known to be a highly contagious germ disease. It is
caused by an invisible growth of vegetable character that finds
lodgmeut in the sebaceous glands of the scalp. This growth
disturbs the functions of the sebaceous glands causing exces-
sive oiliness or extreme dryness of the hair. It also sets up
au inflammatory process that extends down the follicle to the
papilla where the adhesions are loosened and the hair slips
out. The value of Newbro's Ilerpicide in such cases is quite
extraordinary. Its intelligent use will correct every condition
short of chronic baldness and thus permit the hair to resume
its natural lustre and abundance.
MISS EDNA IRVINE
A noted theatrical star whose photogroph is here reproduced
writes as follows: "I can heartily endorse Newbro's Hcrpicidc
It is delightful for the hair and I could not do without it."
