CATCH ADVERTISING SCHEMES.
Panhandle towns are still the
easily caught game of the adver-
tising "Booklet" people "Direc-
tory" people "Card" people
"Picture" people "Watch Ring
and Diamond" folks "Piano Con-
test" people etc. etc.
Great things are promised by
all of these schemes; the fruit
proffered by all of them looks
tempting and in the majority of
instances it is swallowed by the
victim and then escape is well
nigh impossible.
Two of these schemes at least
bobbed up in Canyon City during
this month: One a piano contest
and the other a "Souvenir Book-
let." This last bears an Ama-
rillo label and is alleged to be
"for the benefit of the entire
Panhandle;" its promises are
great but strange as it may ap-
pear to some its personal identi-
ty is unknown even to Atnarillo
printers. The News turned both
down and trusts that other busi-
ness men of Canyon City did the
same.
There is more in these eateh-'em-quick
advertising schemes
in the Panhandle to the promo-
ters than anything now going.
So the evidence now points.
last full moon in August 1908 was
chosen as the proper time for
our next Reunion.
A vote of thanks to the retir-
ing executive committee was
unanimously adopted as was also
a vote of thanks to Mr. Hutson
for his generosity in giving the
use of the Reunion grounds.
J. C. Hunt acted as chairman
and A. S. Rollins as secretary
and the meeting was well attended.

That Immigration Company.
That Immigration company
"talked of" in last week's issue
of The News would be one of the
best things out for Canyon City.
We must have actual settlers
in the surrounding country in
order to sustain the town. Build
up the county and Canyon City
will take care of itself. This
proposition is or should be self-
evident to every thinking person.
How best to accomplish this pur-
pose ought to beyond doubt
have the serious consideration of
every permanent citizen of Ran-
dall county. All such are vitally
interested in this subject and
should whether they do or not
concern themselves in the perfec
tion of any plan which offers the
thing most desired the actual
settlers.
In the candid opinion of The
News an imigration company
such as the one "talked of" is the
very thing. Formed of citizens
of the county and with the ex-
press purpose of getting these
actual settlers leaving specula-
tion out entirely and with suffi-
cient capital to conduct the cam-
paign successfully it is bound to
succeed.
The urging of the formation
of this Immigration Company is
not idle talk on the part of The
News man nor is it a plan in-
dorsed for the "other fellow" to
do and perform alone but one
for which The News will go its
entire length and in addition put
in every dollar it can command.
New Reunion Executive Committee.
At a mass meeting of citizens
held at the courthouse Saturday
called at the instance of the Re-
union executive committee of
1907 and looking to the organiza-
tion of a committee to take up
the work for next year the fol-
lowing business was transacted:
-The report of the 1907 commit-
tee to date was approved and final
settlement authorized to be made
with the new committee which
by rising vote was selected as
follows:
J. D. Gamble J. H. Garrison
Geo. L. Abbott C. R Hutching
Travis Shaw J. C. Hunt and Geo.
A. Brandon.
Ou motion Tuesday before the
Canyon City's first Chautau
qua closing yesterday may be
put down taken all together as
a success.
Stalker the cartoonist is ex-
cellent in his line and made quite
a hit with our people.
Miss Miller was in very bad
voice having contracted a severe
cold which interfered materially
with her part. The larger por-
tion of her audience failed to
hear distinctly on this account
and hence were not in a position
to fully appreciate the golden
thoughts expressed in her lect-
ures. Those who did hear all
however are unstinted in their
praise of Miss Miller.
The Howard Payne Quartette
was a winner with our people.
An unusually full house greeted
these singers on their secoud ap
pearance Monday night. A feat-
ure of this program was a piano
solo by Miss Bessie Haney. It
was encored and gracefully re-
sponded to by Miss Haney with
a second solo the rendition of
which the two solos Chautauqua
Manager Andrews declared was
equal to anything now on the
Texas platform.
Tuesday evening and at night
Dr. Corbett was the platform
speaker. His subject on each oc-
casion was altogether temper
ance; claiming that the liquor
traffic in all of its forms was the
one great gigantic evil of the
country and that the one way to
deal with it successfully was to
vote the strictly Prohibition tick-
et in all elections that "the two
old parties" were under the con-
trol of the liquor interests etc.
Vocal music by two young ladies
and violin solos by our own Dr.
Ingham were the other features
of Tuesday. Very few men can
head our genial dentist in this
role he would make a star of
great magnitude for any Chau-
tauqua. When played by the
hand of a master such as Dr.
Ingham nothing equals the dear
old fiddle for stirring the best
emotions of the human soul.
A wreck on "The Denver" no
uncommon thing prevented the
Wednesday afternoon entertain-
ment. The night program car-
ried with the addition of two
more violin solos by Dr. Ingham.
Mrs. Ingham assisted in this as
on the preceding night and it
was no small part of the proceed- j
ings. The recitals by Miss Parks
were good. Count Sobieski's
address was well received. In
the fortunes of his family we
have the history of Poland and
he told the story briefly and well
and his audience the largest
during the Chautauqua course
was well pleased.
Ben Hur was good in the esti
mation of many the best enter
tainment of the lot.
Next week The News will re-
view this further and also take
up the question of future Chau
tauquas.

Saved Him $100.00.
"In 11)02 I had a very severe
attack of diarrhoea" says 11. N.
Farrar of Cat Island La. "For
several weeks I was unable to do
anything. On March 18 11)07 I
had a similar attack and took
Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy which gave
me prompt relief. I consider it
one of the best medicines of ils
kind in the world and had I
used it in 1902 believe it would
have saved me a hundred dollar
doctor's bill." Sold by S. V.
