"The quality of the diary cattle
at the Tri-State fair makes it the
best show in the South," said a
Jersey breeder yesterday aa ha
strolled the barn and inspected the
more than 175 kings and queens of
the Jersey world.
Only one other show held in the
South this year will anything like
rival the Tri-State exhibit, according
to breeders, and that is the National
to be held in Memphis. Tennessee,
and to which practically all cattle
shown at Amarillo will be taken.
Howard Ferguson, superintendent
of the cattle division of the fair and
B. B. Holland, head of the dairy di-
vision, have worked almost day and
n night in preparing for the show
and they have secured the most
noted herds in America.
"Quality considered we have the
best show in history," said Mr.
Ferguson. "All of the noted breed-
ers are here and on judging day,
Tuesday, we espect to have a won-
derful representation of the men
who are making history in the Jer-
sey business.”
The A. & M. College herd of
twenty-two animals, was one of the
first to arrive for the show. This
herd is nationally known and is ex-
pected to provide keen competition
in all classes.
The Taft ranch’s famous herd is
headed by the world renowned bull,
Masterman of Oakland and unde-
feated champion who is returning to
the ring after an absence of seven
years. There are sixteen cattle in
this herd.
Ed C. Lassiter, of Falfurrias, has
his famous His Majesty bull and

twenty-two which was the first to
arrive for the exhibit.

2 PRIZE OFFERS Expert Declares Exposition Will Have
ARE WITHDRAWN; M
Housed at the Tri-State exposition
for the ensuing week are exhibits sent
to Amarillo by various departments of
the national government valued In ex-
cess of a million dollars.
Such was the estimate yesterday of
Col. Harve H. Haines, necretary-manager
of the Board of City Development, who
was largely instrumental in securing
these varied exhibits and displays.
The dairy husbandry exhibit of the
department of agriculture alone Is val-
ued at $30,000.
Equipment in the bureau of mines
rescue ear, which will be parked adja-
cent to the exposition grounds, in easy
reach of fair visitors, is valued at ap-
proximately $30,000.
Value of the geological survey -con-
struction of the topographical maps and
the like in this display—is between
$300,000 and $400,000. That is what it
probably cost to make the display.
The 17 models of fighting craft which
the navy department has at the exposi-
tion is figured conservatively at $50,000
to $60,000.
Ths display of stamps and alloys of
coins in use la the United States has a
potential value of several thousands of
dollars.
"No place In the country has the govern
ment taken such an Interest in develop-
ment of its resources as it has in Texas,
and particularly West Texaa,” declared
Col. Haines in calling attention to the
several displays the United States has
sent here.
"This show the interest of the several
government departments in this part of
the country and should mean a great
deal to the people of thia region who are
interested jn the development of our
nature] resources.
"Some of the exhibits to be found un-
der government supervision at the ex.
position are the identical ones which
were displayed at the Sesquicentennial
at Philadelphia last year, where they
drew thousands of visitors from practi-
cally every corner of the United States.”
Four airplanes from Dunean field will
arrive Wednesday and stage a series of
military maneuvers. Stunt fliers will
accompany the army planes.

capital of the Panhandle,
The Gray county produet, which for-
merly demanded a premium of 10 cente
on the barrel, is selling now for M cents
to 11.03 per barrel, and the leading sto-
tions are still busy as demand for crude

Heavily loaded oil cers continue to
roll out over the double track of the
Santa Fe, while hundreds of others still
line the sidings for several miles in both
directions while continuous pumping
brings the crude In from the fields.
While other oil towns of the Panhan-
die field are suffering from a recent
cut in crude prices of 25 er SO per eent,
which has thrown them into a slump that
will probably be ef several months’ du-
ration, Pampa continues to hold her own
and is, by all means, the most active
spot in the Fenhandle today.
Of course Pampa has felt the effeeta
of the slashing of crude products to
some extent, and it ean not be said that
business here is •» active as a year ago.
Hut business ts stable now. The city
has had two years of rapid development
and is in a position to enjoy it for the
first time. There is simply a bustle on
the streets end in the business houses
that can not be found in any other Pan-
handle town today.
The "floating" population that enme
with the oil field boom has gone, leaving
the town with approximately 11,000 peo

New Railroad Probable.
Pampa at this time is all agog over
prospects for the construction of a new
rail line into the city from Clinton,
Okla., opening up a vast area of virgin
agricultural land, dotted In many places
with oil derricks, that Is now unserved
by a rail line. If the eity has lost any
enthusiasm due to crude conditions, it
has been renewed through possibilities
of the new railway.
A permit for construetion of the now
rail line was granted last week, and eiti- l
tens of Pampa feel that It is new as- I
sured. Survey of the route has not been <
made, but It is understood that plans
are made t: ez the line from Clinton
te Cheyenne and then almost direct
across country from Cheyenne to Pampa
The total distance would be something
like 06 miles.
Local citizens believe that the new
rail line will prove to be the greatoat
asset of any project the eity has in view
at this time. It will shorten the dis-
tanee to Oklahoma City by approximate-
ly 1M miles, and will give the city ad-
vantages of rail connections with a vast
new territory.
Committees are at work now to assist
in securing the railroad and to offer the
builders every encouragement of the
eity.

the making of books from the time the manuscript is prepared until It is a
completed novel.

anywhere. ,
MERCHANTS AND MANUFACTURERS—The Merchants’ building this year
; will house one of the best displays ever put up at ths Amsrillo exposition. Manu-

absolutely free each evening, starting today, in front of the grandstand at the
race truck. This is one of the leading musical and girl shows of the country,
with a troupe numbering from 80 to IM performers. This show would cost the

CLARENDON, Sept. 10 — Clarendon
has enjoyed an unusual growth In the
last two years. Unofficial estimates
place the building pefmits for 1026 at
$500,000, a figure that is somewhat as-
tounding considering the fact that the
population of Clarendon was placed at
only $3,500 in21026, end the total county
valuation of Donley county was only a
little above $6,000,000. For the year of
1927 up to date, Clarendon has seen the
construction of $2500,000 of buildnig»
making the total close to $700,000 for
the yeae, and building contracted at
present to be erected soon will place

this city for the past two years of $i,

To nceount for this feet one naturally

the increase in oil of the Panhandle and
the proximity ef Clarendon as a school

two more projected overseas

trans-oceanic flights at this

of two officers planning a
