"With this issue The News
formerly known as "The Stay-
er "starts out upon its ninth
year of service as a newspaper
on the Plains. Seven years of
this period has been put in at its
present home Canyon City and
two of these under its present
management.
Since coming into possession
of the property some two years
ago the present owner has con-
tinually added to its capacity
in the way of new material un-
til todajr there are but two
offices on the Plains that sur-
pass The Canyon City News in
this particular our progressive
and much appreciated neighbor
The Herald at Amarillo and
our no less valued and esteemed
contemporary at Hereford The
Brand.
Equipped as the office now is
with new presses of the very
best sort made and ample engine
power to run them upon modern
plans with mailing apparatus
new type faces both Ad and Job
ani many other things too num-
erous to detail here The News
can come up with the best of
them and proposes to do it.
The fact is The News "having
faith in the future of Canyon
City has done expanded to meet
the increased demands that i
feels are sure to be made upon
it in the Job as well as the news
paper line.
For the present The News
will retain its regular size
five column folio but as busi
ness increases we expect to en
large it increasing the number
of pages as 'occasion may de-
mand. The policy of The News will
not be changed in any particular
it will strictly adhere to the
plan laid down when from "The
.Stayer" it became The Canyon
City News.
EXPERIMENTAL STATION.
J. E. Furguson L. Grant and T.
S. Howard of Hereford as a com-
mittee for the organized farmers of
Deaf Smith and Castro counties
have petitioned Hon. S. ' VV. T.
Lanham as governor of the state
soliciting his aid in the establish-
ment of an agricultural experiment
station on the plains. This com
mittee asks it not for Dea! Smith
or Castro but request that it be
placed somewhere within the fol
lowing boundries towit:
Beginning at the southwest cor
ner of Cochran county thence east
to southeast corner of Crosby coun
tv. thence north to the south line
on Donley county thence east to
the southeast corner of Collings-
worth county thence north with
the state line.
Among the good and sufficient
reasons urged for the establishment
of a station on the Plains is that on
i.jcount of altitude and consequent
niiiuwaic jLiupieiiieiim anu an Kinas oi r arming macmneryf
Wagons Buggies Harness and Saddles. Eclipse wood and Steei
Star Windmills; Pipe Casing and Cylinders Barb Wire and Nails.
In fact everything that is kept in a first-class hardware store.

difference in climate this section
of the state can derive little bene-
fit from stations situated in other
parts of the commonwealth.
This is an unselfish move upon
the part of our near western nabors
which should be and beyond ques-
tion will be appreciated by all who
have the good fortune to reside
within the district named. But
this is not enough those concern-
ed should go further; they ought
not only to approve but co-operate
with this committee in securing the
essential thing- asked for an agri-
cultural experiment station.
We have a grand country all
right and in time this fact will be
known of all men but we can
reach the "persimmon" much
quicker provided we get the aid of
the State in this particular we are
entitled to it and all we have to do
is to go after it strong enough to
land it.
While the News is not authoriz-
ed to speak for the farmers of Ran
dall county it feels sure that they
will join heartily in seconding the
efforts being made in that direc
tion.
"The Railroad
The following about the sur
veyors on the South end is from
Brownwood by way of the Dal
las News. The dispatch is
dated March 9 and says:
"After being in'tbe field two
weeks the Amarillo and South
ern engineers have returned to
this place. About two months
ago they left here to run a line
to Abilene. On account of the
extremely bad weatberthe work
has been slow. After reaching
Abilene they resurveyed a part
of the route back as far as Bur-
kett in Coleman county. The
survey from here to Abilene was
only to connect with the route
they had already surveyed from
Canyon to Abilene.
"Just what the next move of
the engineers will be is not
known as they do uot know
where they will go lrom this
place but will stay here till
further orders are received."
San Angelo on the same date
gets off the following:
"It develops that San Angelo
wants at least two roads and
SHELF
and we can supply your wants at a saving to you. Call
m. m . v r m wm m

talk is current that the Santa
Fe will not build its connection
out of that city but instead
from Brownwood through Cros-
by County to connect with its
line at Albuquerque."
As stated in last week's News
it's all conjecture up to this
time as to the how when and
where but you may depend up
on it that 'tis going through.
The News will publish each
week a two column article on
our civil war by George L. Kil-
mer. These articles will give
some unwritten history and deal
chiefly with the scenes of 03 and
'4 and will be intensely inter-
esting especially to old soldiers.
