FOR ONION GROWERS.
From the continued report* which
continue to go out from the principal
onion markets, it would appear that
there is a bonanza in store for
those sections of the Panhandle
country which have engaged in the
onion business. It is now claimed
that onions are becoming alarmingly
scarce and that at the present de-
mand the entire supply will be ex-
hausted before the üew crop "can be

> Texas for a supply of the
product. It is not really believed
that there are enough onions in the
country to supply the demand for
the next thirty days. A few years
ago, we told onions in our market
at $2.50 per bushel and it would not
be surprising to see the same thing
happen again and this sentiment is
shared by many others.'
We note with interest that our
esteemed contemporary, the Canyon
City News, has passed its ninth
year and starts out upoi) the last
year of its first decade under flat-
tering prospects. Its editor, Qeo.
A. Brandon, is one of the pioneer
newspaper men of the state and is
an able writer as well as a high-
standard gentlemen. With the new
equipment which he has recently
purchased, Mr. Brandon will with-
out doubt continue to give his
readers a local paper of which theyl
will imtlv feel nmud.

The splendid coat of green which
is just now spreading its mantle
over the whole face of the Pan-
handle presents a picture which is
unsurpassed in beauty and pic-
turesque grandeur. The scene of
the snow-capped mountain fills one
with admiration and causes him to
wonder at the beautiful arrangement
of nature; but nothing in the Rockies
nórthe Alps can- equal Jn beauty
the awe-inspiring Plains in early

as well as what it does. We miss
some things we wouI4 be glad to see.
Where is their offer to pay cash
or to exchange goods for your wheat,
oats, corn, beans, butter, eggs and
hay? How much do they pay for
cattle and sheep f. o. b. at your
depot? What tax will they pay to
support your school and educate
your children ? For improving roads,
and bridges, for the support of the
poor of the county; for the expense
of running the business of the town-
>unty and state?
'hat page do they offer to
contribute money to support the
church? What line of credit will
they extend to you when your crops
are poor and money gone; when
through illness or misfortune you
ire not able to send "cash with the
order" for your groceries, clothing,
farm tools and crockery ? Where is
their offer to your entertainment
next fourth of July.
In short will they do anything to
provide a market for what you have
to sell and thereby keep up the value
of your real estate? Will they do
anything for social, church, school
or government support, or, do they
take your dollars out of the com-
munity with no returns except the
goods you buy ?—North East Breeze.

We have noticed^agon load after
wagon load pulling out this week,
some going as far south as Running
Water. If the present prospects
keep up for' a few months longer,
cheap Panhandle land will be a thing
of the past and those who succeeded
in securing a few hundred of these
fertile acres will be congratulating
themselves upon their good fortune.
Hereford can now congratulate
herself that she has a thorough-
going board of trade, backed by men
who have an eye single to the de-
velopment of Hereford and the Pan-
handle. With such a body of
earnest workers, we can but hope
for much good to come to our com-
munity through this organization.
Let everybody manifest his patriot-
ism by working for Hereford and
surrounding country.
