the fact that it enables the seller to better acquaint himself with the needs and wants of
his customers and to so anticipate them as to prepare in advance for their better accom-
modation; besides it is a method which at once appeals to the busy housewife as she can
get just the information she wants right at her door without bothering with a 'phone.

demonstration that we think enough of your patronage to go after it Give us a fair trial
for thin month and f wo can't prove that superior quality low prices polite service and
prompt deliveries are some of the arguments upon which we base a claim to a share of
your business we are content to let the other fellow have it. RESPECTFULLY

Mr. Hearst's Good Fight.
On to Tulia.
The following concerning the
new railroad is taken from the
Tulia Standard of Oct 12:
Tuesday morning work was
commenced on the extension of
the new railroad to Tulia from
Happy whore it has been tem-
porarily stopped to complete the
track from Canyon to that place.
Work will now be pushed till
the road is completed into Tulia
when it will be extended to
Plainview. Plenty of material is
at hand to lay the track to Tulia
and it is expected the road will
reach here within two weeks.
One of the surveyors has stated
that they will bo able to run the.
next Immigration train into Tulia
which will bo about the 81st inst
and as a further evidence of the
intention to reach this place at
an early date The Scott-Tracy
Hardware Company have receiv-
ed a Bill of lading calling for the
delivery in Tulia of a car of wind
mills which is now in transit. It
has been currently reported that
work was indefinitely suspended
and ihat the town of Happy
would bo boomed and built beforu
continuing the work to Tulia and
Plainview. Our worthy contem-
pories The Canyon City News
and The Hereford Brand give
publicity to the fact that "On to
Tulia" is. a thing to bo dreamed
of in future. The reason for the
publication of reports so unfound-
ed and unprofitable we fail to
see. Certainly the stopping or
the pushing to completion of the
road would not retard the growth
of the flourshing little cities of
Canyon and Hereford. They
each have great stretches af allu-
vial plain contiguous to them
which when developed and it is
rapidly being done will make
them gems of Commerce in the
center of Agricultural Paradises.
The growth of Happy does not
depend on the road's being stop-
ped there for a day. Surely the
thousands of acres of rich land
about Happy some of which pro-
duced 33 buseels of wheat this
year will build and maintain one
of the most beautiful little towns
on the Plains.
Fear not the road will reach
Tulia within a very few days and
material will be at hand to build
the stone concrete and brick
buildings now in project.
Neither the Canyon City News
or the Hereford Brand dear
Standard can have any good
rpason for wishing the road to
keep away from Tulia. The re-
ports mentioned came from peo-
ple mainly interested about Hap-
py and were given only as "re-
ports." Speaking for itself The News
is really glad that the railroad is
moving on to Tulia and also go-
ing to Plainview and such it feels
sure are the sentiments of all our
Canyon City people'.
Wilbert Peterson returned
home Sunday fron a tour through
New Mexico and says he was so
favorably impressed with the
country that he will likely take a
homestead claim near the new
town of Melrose.
The men and interests making
up the opposition to William R.
Hearst in New York afford am-
ple reason why every loyal dem-
ocrat should give him enthusi-
astic support. The men who
"preserved national honor" in
1890 the insurance grafters
the advocates of special interests
the corporation managers the
Wall street financiers and the
bond brokers who trafficked in
the government's need all these
are massed solidly against Mr.
Hearst and their opposition
should solidify the people in sup-
port of the man who is making
such an open and telling fight
against these harmful interests.
Mr. Hearst is making a mag-
nificent campaign and is frankly
telling the people just where he
stands. What he has accom-
plished for people in the way of
reforms through the instrumen-
tality of his great newspapers
is an evidence of what he will
do if elected governor of the
Empire state. With Mr. Hearst
in the governor's chair there will
be no more control of New York's
executive by interests that are
adverse to the people.
Mr. Hearst is specific and plain
in his declarations while his op-
ponents indulge in generalization
and vituperation. He has taken
the people into his confidence and
may be depended upon to carry
out his campaign pledges. He is
entitled to the support and vote
of every democrat who puts pub-
lic good above private profit and
of every citizen who prefers good
government by representatives
of the people to bad government
by representatives of special
privilege. Bryan's Commoner.
Against Mr. Hearst who is the
regular nominee of both wings
of the New York democracy
some Texas Democrats are now
ranged calling him all sorts of
bad names and in the same breath
they express themselves as per-
fectly horrified at the very idea
of a Texas Democrat finding any
manner of fault with a Demo-
cratic nominee of this state.
With "Uncle Zeikel".in the Boyd
Index we are in accord when he
says: .
"Compare this Democratic nom
inee for governor of the great
state of New York fairly and im-
partially with some of the lead-
ing politicians and papers in
Texas now engaged in denounc-
ing him and note the result and
I think he will lose nothing by
the comparison.
"A few winters since when the
weather was colder than for
years before and in consequence
of strikes coal was getting
scarce and the coal dealers com
biwing to put the price out of the
reach of the freezing poor in
New York City one man bought
up "nearly the entire stock in
sight and put the price down to
all and gave to those unable to
buy. That man was W. R.
Hearst.
"That same winter thousands
of poor and destitute of the city
were suffering hunger and one
man equipped a number of wag-
ons and kept them supplied with
warm and hcathful food and had
them driven to convenient dis-
tributing points every day and
fed those hungry ones free. That
man was W. R. Hearst and these
were but two of many examples
of what he has done from time to
time for the suffering poor with-
out fee or hope of earthly re-
ward. "Whe the news of that great
Galveston horror was flashed
over the wires his answer was
three trainloads of needed sup-
plies for the destitute survivors
enroute to the stricken city as
quick as imperative orders by
wire could have them loaded and
started on their journey with
"rush" orders.
C. T. DeGraftenreid has sold
his 4-section Canyon-Ceta ranch
togother with all his cattle to
John E. Briggs of Williamsport
Ind. for $38300. Mr. DeGraf-
tenreid then purchased 7 sections
of the J. F. Smith ranch from
Dr. Howell at $10.23 per acre.
Miss Ruth Bom parte of Paris
arrived here several days ago
and will probably remain here
for some time visiting her sis-
ter Mrs. J. C. Hunt.
