PANHANDLE EXHIBIT ASSOCIATION
Organization Perfected with the Purpose of Adver
tising the Resources of Northwest Texas.
Car to be Sent North and East.
One of the best movements that
has ever been made among the bus
iness men of Amarillo and one that
will likely result in more good than
anything else to the Panhandle
country was th6 organization Wed
nesday afternoon of the Panhandle
Exhibit Association. While the
prime movers in the matter were
the real estate men of the city, yet
the proposition met with the ap
proval of all who were approached
on the subjectand as a result when
a meeting was called at the Com
mercial Club rooms, standing space
was hardly available. Mr. Foultzwas
elected temporary chairman and P.
L. Person as temporary secretary.
C. J. Husky, in behalf of the move
ment, made a strong appeal fcr
such an organization, and enumer
ated the many advantages to be
gained, not by one man or sptof
men, but by every citizen of the
entire Panhandle country. He
cited similar organizations that
have been perfected for the pur
pose of gathering together the re
sources, mineral and vegetable, of
a country and exhibiting them, thus
advertising and causirg an addi
tional interest among prospective
immigrants to that country.
Other talks along the same line
were made and the unanimous sen
timent for such a body here, was
the result. A permrnent organi
zation was effected with the fol
lowing officers: Howard Wilson,
v chairman; R. H. McAipine, vice
chairman; W. A. Crossett. secreta
ry, and M. W. Cunningham, treas
urer. A committee was appointed
as follows to solicit membership
and exhibits: Robert Moss, chair
man, R. F. Smith, E- Cartwright,
Howard Wilson and W. A. Cross
ett The Finance Committee:
P. L. Person, chairman, M. W.
Cunningham, C J. Huskey. W. F.
Taylor, F. W. Zimmerman and W.
S. Roberts. Headquarters for the
Association will be in Amarillo, but
organization will be effected in all
of the Panhandle towns. W. L.
Roberts was elected traveling rep
resentative to effect these organ
izations and -left yesterday for
Hereford and Canyon City for that
purpose. Other towns to be visit
ed for the same purpose are: Plain
view, Bovina, Tulia, Hale Center,
Lubbock, Running Water, Silver
ton, Dalhart, Stratford, Channing,
Washburn, Claude, Clarendon, Pan
handle. Alanreed and McLain.
It was decided to fit out a car
with the vegetable and mineral re
sources of the Panhandle country
and send it north and east in charge
of several gentlemen, . and which
will probably be out two or three
months. Work'will begin at once
in getting up the exhibits and it is
the intention of the Association to
have the car leave here the latter
part of August or the early part of
September, or as soon after the
Farmers Institute as possible. The
car will be fitted up in a modern
way and in addition to the exhibits
will carry advertising matter, such
as booklets, circulars, etc., showing
the advantages of northwest Tex
It is the intention also to have ster
eoptican views of northwest Texas
and, where stops are made for the
night, an exhibition will be given
and addresses made by those who
are with the car.
The organization of this Associa
tion with the object in view is no
doubt the initial step to one of the
125
Pi
H
greatest movements in the history
of the Panhandle, and will result in
the bringing of thousands of north
ern and eastern people to this sec
tion of the state of Texas, not the
idle, curiosity seeker, but good
substantial citizens, as farmers,
merchants and professional men
and will mean the investment of
thousands of dollars in enterprises
that as a consequence will be lo
cated here.
Mr. D. L. Myers. Traffic Mana
ger of the Santa Fe system, ten
dered the use of a car for this pur
pose and for his interest in the
matter, and the courtesy extended
was given a rising vote of thanks
by the Association.
To the Sons and Daughters of
Confederate Soldiers.
You are probably aware of the
fact that the few survivors of the
"Lost Cause" have a camp in your
midst, which meets every Sunday
evening at the court house-
Brotherly love, charity, pespetu-
ation of the cause doubly dear to
every truesoutnerner, and the per
fecting of true history for our child
ren and their children, are tr.e prirt e
objects of the organization. The
men who bore the brunt of battle,
as well as their mothers, wives and
sisters, are fast passing away, and
in a few short years, at best, they
will all have passed from time to
eternity. Shall their memories and
their deeds of valor be forgotten by
their children or their grandchild
ren? The Sons and Daughters else
where say, "No!" Live organiza
tions of Sons of Confederate Vet
erans and chapters of Daughters of
the Confederacy are actively at
work, cheering the old heroes, re
lieving those in want and distress,
seeking after, and writing up, the
truths of history, to the end that
their children and future posterity
may know the truth.
Why not the young men and no
ble women of Amarillo join in the
procession? The city is populated
with high-toned business men,
worthy of your sires. You have
enjoyed privileges in preparation
for business of which your fathers
were deprived, from the fact that
they were battling for southern
rights; while your mothers, the
noblest women the world ever
knew, were acting well their parts
in the great conflict, amid their
great privations. Generally with
out the necessaries of life, with
bleeding hearts as they waited for
news of the battle. Carding, spin
ning, weaving and sewing all the
clothes worn by themselves and
their children, and their loved ones
in the army as well.
Young Gentlemen, we realize
that this is a fast age; but "in the
mad rush for gain," we would be
pleased to see you at our meetings
and have you take part with us.
Ladies of Amarillo, descendants
of noble mothers, will you not lend
us a helping hand? Others are
doing grand and noble work. Why
not you? Give us your presence
at these meetings.
Respectfully,
Will A. Miller
W. M. Warren
Lakenan & Barnes would like to

REAL
COUNCIL CONVENES
Special Session Brings Out Much
Business of Impor
tant Nature.
A special session of the city
council was held yesterday after
noon at Mayor Will A. Miller's of
fice, the ourpose of which was to
discuss matters in regard to some
of the streets, a public watering
place and the sprinkling proposi
tion. Mayor Miller presided and
the following officers were present:
Aldermen L. 0. Thompson, H. A.
Nobles, J. J. Holt and F. Shaugh
nessy; city attorney W. E. Gee,
Secretary Sam Bron and city
marshal John Snyder. Alderman
W. L. Thompson was not present
being absent from the city. The
reading of the minutes and roll call
was dispensed with and the first
business before the body was a
report from the committee of busi
ness men and the Commercial Club
in regard to the Polk street matter.
It seems to be the will of the busi
ness men that Polk street be clear
fif all hacks, delivery wagons, etc.,
in fact all vehicles, and at the re
quest of them the city attorney had
prepared an ordinance regulating
this. Messrs. D. W. Owen and E.
W. White as spokesmen for the
committee and Secretary Shireman
for the Commercial Club reported
that they had thoroughly investi
gated the proposition of having all
hitching pais moved from Polk
street and of prohibiting vehicles
from standing on that street, for
more than a reasonable length of
time, and found that the sentiment
of the citizens who were approach
ed was with them. These gentle
men made an appeal to the council
mo aia tnem in clearing ana clean
ing up the principal thoroughfare,
stating that the sprinkling wagon
could not do service as it should
until these things were entirely
removed or regulated.
The matter was thoroughly dis
cussed and met with the approval
of all present, though the ordinance
that had been prepared did not
cover the matter as well as was
desired and therefore was not con
sidered.
The idea seems unanimous that
all hitching posts, etc., should be on
the side streets, and the ordinance
committee together with Attorney
Gee will present one to be acted on
at a special meeting of the council
to be held some time next week.
The proposition of securing
public watering place was launched
and the immediate need of such
was plainly shown by the discus
sion that followed. While it is ev
ident that the city has not the
means to dig a well and put in a
trough at present, the ideas ex
pressed shows clearly that the
council is enthusiastic in the mat
ter and will do their part. The co
operation of the city with the com
mercial club and the county com
missioners, is an effort in the right
direction and will likely be the out
come of the proposition and will no
doubt result in that much needed
convenience being put in.
Secretary Shireman stated tha
arrangements had been made for
sprinkling the streets, the business
men of the city having subscribed
enough to pay the expenses of run
ning the wagon.
A number of other things of im
portance to the city were touched
on, but will probably remain on the
undeveloped list for several days
at least. However, from the man
ner in which the city fathers take
hold and work on a proposition,
is almost conclusive evidence that
Amarillo will profit much. There
TAT
are many things confronting the
city at present in the way of nec
essaries and which in time will
surely be handled by this body, yet
they feel that they are handicapped
to a great extent at present. The
session last afternoon lasted for
more than an hour and was full of
interest throughout.
