WIND MILL FACTORY
Kwitern Concern Huh an Eye on Am
arlllo and May Ixcate Here.
That the city of Amarlllo will some
day be the manufacturing center of
the great Southwest la no longer a
thing to be doubted and more and
more la this seen each day. Hardly
a week passes but what some Institu-
tion decides to locate among us and
If the list that Is now on file could
be secured at once which Includes
the names of Individuals and Arms
seeking locations away . from the
crowded north and east Amarlllo
would In a day jump Into the rank as
one of the most Important factory
centers In the entire South. The lat-
est probable accession to our city la
the location of a wind mill factory.
A representative of the Eastern firm
spent a few days here last week hay-
ing been out on an Inspection tour
and for the purposeof finding a suit-
able city for a branch factory. The
ver wIde-awako and enterprising
gentlemen who have in hand this
work for the city were apprised of
the object of the gentlemen's trip
and immediately began to explain
the great advantages of the Queen
City. The result Is the representa-
tive has returned to .the Eastern of-
cos fully Imbued with the srit and
belief that this is the coming country
and will advise his firm that Amarlllo
fs the place to locate the branch
house. To Bay that this will be a
valuable asset to the city and citizens
is all that is necessary. Details con-
cerning the proposed plant could not
be learned at this time but suffice
it to say that a large number of men
will be employed In the shops travel-
ing and In the offices ns well.
Tlie Civic league.
The regular monthly meeting of
the Civic League was held Saturday
afternoon nt the court house. Mrs.
J. L. Smith president presided and
Mrs. It. V. Morgan In the absence of
Mrs. Bennett was appointed secre-
tary pro tenii In addition to the
. Rood attendance of the ladles a num-
ber of gentemen were on hand and
who took an Interesting part In the
meeting. Mayor Miller exhibited
plans for the proposed city park and
made a splendid talk in connection
with this and along the linos of civic
pride.
Judge Paul Rev. Klrkes and Mr.
L. O. Thompson each followed with
appropriate remarks anent the park.
(The great need and the immediate
one of a city park is evident to the
Civic League and work toward that
end has commenced but it was de-
cided that the most vital question
confronting the citizens of Amarlllo
now is the matter of better sanita-
tion. The present week in' view of
this was selected as "clean up" week
and everybody large and small is
expected to comply with' the request
of these ladles and get real busy. '
The public watering trough came
In for a good share of discussion at
the meeting and bids well to become
a real fact soon. It is generally be-
lieved that the county will not hesi-
tate long to put down nice sidewalks
around the court house too.
Street Railway Matter.
Mr. James T. Brock promoter of
the street railway for Amarlllo has
returned from a trip east where he
' went on business relating to the com-
pany. It Is understood that Mr. Brock
Is arranging details as fast as possi-
ble after which he will begin the
construction of the plant In this city.

Texa Farmer' Congress.
Messrs. F. W. Zimmerman J. M.
Neely and W. 0. Ward left last night
for College Station to attend the
State Farmers' Congress which con-
venes there three days beginning
this afternoon. Judge J. C. Paul had
intended going also but was detained
at home. Mr. Zimmerman Is on the
program for a ten minutes' speech on
"Texas Soil" and after the meeting
of the congress expects to spend the
remainder of the week in that section
of the state talking Panhandle. In
fact he stnted last afternoon that
his speech on the subject assigned
him would probbaly be spred over
one mlnuto of his allotted time and
the remaining nine minutes would
without a doubt be used In extolling
the wonderful advantages of the fu-
ture garden spot of the world the
Panhandle.
A mass meeting was held at the
Baptist church Sunday morning In-
stead of regular services. The object
of the meeting was to discuss the pro-
posed new building for worship. It
is understood that a very enthusiastic
crowd was present and that a number
of good healthy subscriptions were
taken toward the desired amount. A
second meeting was held last after-
noon for the same purpose. The mem-
bers of that denomination are In
earnest about the matter and ex-
pect before another year passes to
have a church building second to
none in the city.
Hotel to Cost 9100000. ;
The proposed $100QOlj hotel for
Amarlllo is still occupying the closest
attention of a number of our leading
citizens some of whom express It as
only a matter of a short time till our
people will be witnesses to one of the
finest buildings of Its kind in the
Southwest. For'some time this mat-
ter has been uppermost in the minds
of some but for an unaccountable
reason it could never be gotten in the
hhape desired. This has been done
though now and the party that pro-
poses to head the list is' a hotel man
of years of experience who has spent
the most of them in that capacity.in
the atate oi Texas. He is due in the
city today or tonight and will lose
no time In looking the matter over.
It Is understood that he has had an
eye on this city for some time with
this In view and now comes to our
people to make good the alleged
promises he has made to himself.
The San Antonio Fair.
The San Antonio- International
Fair association has ; Issued its premi
um Ustifor the eighth annual fair and
race meet to be held at San Antonio
Tex. October 31st to November 11th
Inclusive. '
In addition to its stated premium
list exceeding. $50000 special pre-
miums are offered for many features
of vital Interest to agricultural and
live stock Industries.
In order to adequately display ag-
ricultural products a special agricul-
tural building of large proportions Is
now under construction. Activity at
the fair grounds has already begun
and a generous transformation1 of
these will have taken place several
weeks before the opening of the fair.
Among the new features Is a stand-
ard race track cattle and swine are-
na buildings for amusement devices
new walks and driveways and attrac-
tions. On a whole this will repre-
sent an outly of approximately $40-
000. Of great Interest . to the visiting
hosts at the fair is the solving of the
transportation problem to and from
the grounds. Through the efforts of
the fair association the transporta-
tion charges to and f ronf the grounds
will be ten cents. All railroads in
Texas have agreed upon the mini-

mum low rates to San Antonio. Thus
a visit to the fair Is within the reach
of all.
There will be the usual free attrac-
tions band concerts and nightly
features at the fair. Racing purses
are the largest ever offered in Texas.
In this as well as all other depart-
ments the 1906 fair will eclipse all
previous efforts.
I'ncie Sam Wants Inspectors.
July 21 the United States civil ser-
vice commission will hold examina
tions to secure eliglbles for about 400.
vacancies which are to be filled. The
vacancies are In the meat Inspection
dapartment and are occasioned by
the recent appropriation by congress
for inspection purposes.
The examination will be conducted
on the following subjects: Spelling
arithmetic letter writing penman-
ship copying from plain draft expe-
rience etc.
The desire is to secure applicants
who have had not less than one year's
experience in slaughtering curing
packing or canning meats.' The age
limit will be 21 to 50 years.
The department of agriculture Is
eounterlng great difficulty in filling
vacancies. The qualifications for in-
spectors are rather complex' and
coupled with the fact that the salary
Is only $1200 a year parties do not
grasp very eagerly at the proposition.
There has been some talk of suspend-
ing the civil service rules in order
to get the required number of in-
spectors but it Is understood .hat
this can only be done with the ap-
proval of congress and as that body
has adjourned the department will
now be compelled to hold examina-
tions until the requisite number of
Inspectors can be secured.
A large number of the inspectors
sought will be put In the service In
Fort Worth.

Derivation of Fork.
The fork takes its name from the

English go back to the former and re-
tain the harder sounding "fork."
