way of base ball and made the
home team look like the bad end
of a "packing house ham" in
nine innings, both individ-
ually and/collectively. There is
ot much use to rub it in on the
berieved friends of the misguid-
ed youths. So, "let the past be

right, but! Just after and im-
mediately following this disaster
a crowd of school kids and a
, jtheney clothes peddler from
Lubbock who had started for
the canon for a few days outing
got out of their covered wagon
and walking out on the grounds
defied the home team to do their
worst—they did—and it was-Just

Plain view to Have Gas.
f ...
At a meeting of the City Coun-
cil^ this week the right, permis-
sion and authority was granted
toH. E. Powell and his asso-
ciates hereafter to be known as
the Plain view Fuel $ Light Co.
to construct, own, lease; main-
tain and operate within the city
of Plainview a" plant for the
purpose of manufacturing and
distributing illuminating and
fuel gas.
The conditions of the franchise
are that work upon said plant
shall be begun in a good and
substantial manner within twelve
months from the date of the pas-
sage of the ordinance granting
said franchise. It is futher
agreed in the contract that gas
shall be ready for distribution on
at feast two ^streets within
twelve months after work begins.
It is also expressed in the terms
of agreement that the entire
system including plant ana pipe
lines shall be added to and ex-
tended as rapidly a8 demand for
gas and consumption of same
shall make the preparation and
distribution thereof profitable to
said grantee. It was futher
agreed that the franchise rights
and privileges thus granted shall
exist for a period of fifty years
from date of said ordinance is ap-
proved. Said grantee in good
faith put up $500 which he
forfeits should he fail to comply
with the terms of the contract.
The writer has never lived in
a town where gas is used for
fuel and illuminating purposes,
but such a proposition appeals to
us veqj; forcibly. The people of
Roswell and Witchita Falls are
charmed with their plants. If it
is good for other towns why r
should it not be the very thing
for Plainview? Plainview gets
everything good that comes near.
Boost, for the gas plant. - News,
After Them
Business is picking up in Austin
these dkys. A resolution has
been offered to probe into the
charges made during the cam-
paign about the use (of money
in connection with -the defeat of
submission two ye$rs ago. An-
other charge to be investigated
is that a certain candidate for
governor was backed by brewery
money. Campbell is quoted as
saying that' $10,000 should be
appropriated to investigate these
charges whigh were made by
Cone Johnson and Pondexter
on the stump.
