able conditions. The Jersey cow
has been called by a Texas ora-
tor "The Little Gold Producer."
NowTiere in the Plains country
there is plenty of good land and
abundance of water under the
ground, besides a rainfall ample
in even the dryest years to raise
Milo maize. Milo maize, when
properly crushed or ground, is
a surpassinglv fine feed for dairy
cows. What, then, is - more
natural than that the Crosbyton
South Plains country should be-
come the greatest dairying coun-
try in Texas. What more logi-
cal than the building of a cream
siOn of butter fat into creamery
butter? •
There is a "market for every
pound of butter raised in Texas,
•and thousands of pounds are
shipped into the $tate every
month from Kansas and from
other Western states not near so
well provided by nature for the
feeding ot cows and the profit-
able carrying on of dairying and
creamery industries.
\Chicago was bidding last year
and is doing the same this year
for every pound of butter turned
out of Texas creameries. The
Gainsville, Texas, Creamery
shipped some butter to Chicago
lastcyear and more this year, but
the local Ttexas markets got most
ment. The ladies Will issue a
sock to each guest which js sup-
posed to be filled with pennies~
vfiFPVided your years are suffi-
cient. A penny for each year
of your life is supposed to be
found in your hose when it is
turned in to. the committee. The
ladies may add a few pennies, if
so inclined, to their donations
and it will be understood in the
way of extra zeal and generosity
instead of being interpreted as
an indication of the!?™—years.
J They are even permitted to fold
the extra pennies in a separate
piece of paper.
%. There will be other games, and
prizes for those who excell in
f them. Refreshments, too, thereof the output and more than
twice, the output of the creamery
could have been sold within less
than one hundred miles of the
town in which it was. manufac-
tured at a handsome price.
Other Texas dariesThave been as
successful and as profitably oper-
ated. The industry is no longer
an experiment in Texas.
The practical thing for Crosby
county farmers to do is to ship
in a few more car loads of jersey
cows each year and ship their
cream or butter fat to the near-
est Texas creamery until one is
built in Crosbyton. The cream-
eries furnish recepticals in which
to ship cream, and are glad to
do so. Oaf people will find
dairying very profitable from the
very beginning, which has been
the history of dairying every-
where tried in Texas.

Prenliss L. Coon ley of Chicago,
President of the Crosbyton South-
plains Railroad Co., John Stuart
Coonley of Chicago, Secretary
and Treasurer of the" Crosbyton
Southplains TowfiSite Company,
Julian M. Bassett of Crosbyton,
General Manager of the Crosby-
ton Southplains Railroad Co., and
C. I. Drake of Chicago, arrived
in Crosbyton Monday night from
Chicago. An automobile sent
from Crosbyton met the party at
Lubbock.
A Review reporter called at the
company offices Tuesday morning.
General Manager Bassett in-
formed the reporter that orders
had been placed for engines, cars
and all the equipment for the
Crosbyton Southplains Railroad
in anticipation of the early com-
pletion of the road into Qrosby-
ton.
"Mr. W. H. Denison, the rail-
road contractor, tells us," said
Mr. Bassett, "that he will have
finisher all the bridge work by
December the 15th and that the
track laying into Crosbyton from
Lubbock will be finished within
thirty days thereafter. This will
put the road into Oosbyton by
January..l5th.
' 'The grading of the road is all
finished With the exception of a
few places where there is no
heavy wo'rto - JU.1 the materials
and equipments are either on the
ground , or orders have been
placed for them, and the finish-,
ing of the road is ndWup to the
people with whom orders have
been placed, and the - contractor.
We are pushing those people for
material aiM are having it deliv-
ered on the ground as j^st as
possible, and, unless some un-
foreseen delay occurs, we will
have trains running into Crosbys
tdfe by January the 15th. "
President P.,L. Coonley ex-
great pleasure at the
moved to Crosbyton from vari-
ous parts of the county since "he
was last here; their co-operation
in sidewalk building, their pride
in their places of business and
the energy they have displayed
in making Crosbyton a bigger
and better-looking town.
In regard to the shops and gen-
era! offices of the railroad com-
pany General Manager Bassett
said they would be located in
Crosbyton arid that the buildings,
etc., would be erected after the
coming of the railroad. The trans-
portation of material will then be
much cheaper.
With the coming of the rail-
road there will be much building
by people, "Mio v have recently
made Crosbyton their home.
The Coonley brothers are here
to perfect the organization of the
Crosbyton Townsite Co. and the-
Crosbyton Company, two new
holding companies for interests
they have in Crosby county.
They will be here several days
and expect to retprn to Chicago
by Thanksgiving Day. K

Crosby County Pigs.
W. A. Craddock from north of
town passed' through Crosbyton
yesterday morning in his big two-
horse wagon oto his way to Spur.
In the wagon bed he was hauling
eight Berkshire and Poland China
pigs Which were raised on bis
farm. They made all the load
twcqgrod horses needed. Crosby
county pigs grow very large on
the feed of thjs Country.
John Sherman.
good lawyer and that he is men-
tally equipped to go high in his
profession. He has a great many
friends in Crosbyton who will be
glad to welcome him to this town*
at any time he returns, and he is
already nominated for City At-
torney of Crosbytonr It is &
standing nomination tha£t will
hold good until he returns. Good
luck i to him; good health, and
may the Lord bless John Sher-
man wherever he goes.
Fine Display of Saddles At Fair.
Probably the most unique as
"well as the- most interesting
hibit at the Fair this year was
the exhibit of saddles by S. D.
Myres of Sweetwater, Texas.
Mr. Myres, who has been mak-
ing saddles for many years, has,
{^employing the best workmen?
and using only the best mater-
ials, gained a reputation for his
saddles all over the country.
The big feature of his display
here was a hand carved, silver
trimmed stock saddle that was
made especially for exhibiting at
this Fair. Undoubtedly this
saddle represents the acme of
the saddle maker's art and its
equal has never before been seen
in the southwest. This is val-
ued at $500. Through the cour-
tesy of Mr. Myres the saddlejwas
used by chief of police Jenkins
in the Os-Aple parade an Thurs-
day night, and it caused much
favorable comment among the
spectators.
Mr. Myres does not cater to
the wholesale trade but prefers
to sell direct to the consumer,
thus he has built up an immense
mail order business and his sad-
dles are in demand all over the
country.
