And The Next Dsy It "Snew."
Saturday was one of the greatest
days in the minds of most farmers
that has come and gone for some time,
for that day we received one of the
finest snows that has been seen here
for a long time. It fell to about the
depth of six inches, and was wet and
heavy. No wind to amount to any-
thing blew and the beautiful white lay
just where it fell. It has been of
thousands of dollars worth of benefit
to the farmers of Texas county. Many-
fields of wheat have never sprouted,
so many farmers tell us, and other
fields that were up were needing the |
moisture very badly. This will serve |
for all of them, if the same open
weather prevails as it has the past
several montnsand we get an occasion- j
al snow the wheat crop will be one of |
the great things of this county
another year.
Will Locate In Washington.
G. M. Thomas and Tom Stevens, a
couple of the well-known ranchmen of
this connty, who have been in the cat-
tle business over 20 years in this
county, are soon to locate in Wash-
ington, where they will probably en-
gage in the same business. Some-
thing like twenty years ago these men
came to old Beaver county and were
employed first on the Anchor D ranch.
In a few years they established them-
■ selvos in the cattle business on a good
ranch of their own, near the old ranch
! where they got their first lessons in
in the business. They were poor men
when they came here from Massachuss-
etts, but by industry have accumulat-
ed what ordinary men like us call for-
tunes. They are a couple of good cit-
izens and in their new home in the far
West will undoubtedly make the same
success that has characterized their
efforts in this county. They are made
of the stuff that makes good.

Resolutions.
The following resolution were un-
animously adopted by the Farmers'
union, at its last meeting in Guymon,
which we publish herewith:
Resolved, That we favor the
granting by the state of Okla-
homa a free right of way through the
school lands of Texas. Cimarron and
Beaver counties to the railroad pro-
posing to build through said counties
from east to west, provided the said
jcomjany will stay withm the bound-
aries of said state until leaving it
' finally, and not cross the state line
with its track to return or recross at
another point into the state, to the
lend that the road will be at all times
I subject to the absolute control of the
state to the exclusion of control b.v
the federal government. The inter-
state commerce commission holds that
a shipment initiated in the state, going
out of the state and returning to a
point within the state is subject to in-

we give free right of way to a road to !
be controlled by interstate regulation,
we receive nothing in return for such
a gift. On the other hand if the road
is confined to within the state limits
until leaving it finally, it is subject to
domestic control and cannot be oper-
ated only in the interests of the citi-

Surveyors Have Started.
The chuck wagon of the surveyors
for the Kansas & Texas railroad com-
pany was in Guymon a few hours last
week, getting loaded up for it^ work
of suryeying the right of way for the
new railroad. There will be a party
of about six or seven doing this work
and the cheif surveyor of the party
will be T. O. James, who has quite a
reputation for work of that kind. The
surveying will be completed as rapid-
ly as pc^sible and the work of getting
things started for the railroad will
then lie commenced. There is a ratt
more attention being given this new
project than many suppose, as will be
seen from articles from different
papers in another column in this
issue. People from one end of the
line to the other are making some of
the best and most guaranteed offers
that could be asked, and are demand-
ing that this work of surveying be
completed as soon as possible that
the other and more complicated side
of the question, that of getting the
cars to running, can be taken up
forthwith. As a means of develop-
ing hundreds of thousands of good
farm lands this railroad cannot be
surpassed as a benefit to one of the
greatest agricultural sections of the
southwest.
The Farmers' union held a big
meeting in Guymon Wednesday and
Thursday. One thing is certain, the
! Farmers' union of Texas county !•
fast becoming a strong affair and
seems to be working to the end to
which it was planned. A public speak-1
'er has been making the several union
j meeting plaoes the past week, and I
Iwlll speak In several points this
week. Notice the bills for dates.
A baby boy was born Sunday toj
Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Kuggles, jr., of.
Goodwell. Fellows who know our
friend Kuggles tell us that be has i
tieen walking around ever since withi
his ears as straight up as an old jack
rabbit.
O. W. Hartman was in from his fine;
farm home near optima the first of the1
week and made the Herald office a
pleasant call. O. W. has one of the1
choice garden spots of Oklahoma and |
an eyeopener to all who think this I
! a barren section.
He Is Loyal to Oklahoma.
From his old home paper in Ken-
tucky we clip the following interesting
bit of information given for publica-
tion by a Cimarron county man now
on a visit to his old home:
"'A. D. Cosby, who has been away
the past year and over, has just re-
turned. He has been located in the
northwestern portion of Oklahoma in
the new county of Cimarron. He
made commutation proof on his home-
stead entry before returning. He
thinks the west is the coming country.
He says the land is rich and very
prod ictive, and being settled up fast
with a good class of people from
practically pearly all the states. He
reports fine crops there this year and
brought hue* with him some tine speci-
mens of Kaffir corn, milo maize and
Indian corn that he raised on new sod
land without any cultivation, samples
of which we hold in the Mirror office.
The altitude there is 3.100 feet above
sea level, air pure, water good and
the county extremely healthy He
will remain here this winter.
Our esteemed friend Cosby la one
of the mauy of our !>est Kentuckians
who has certainly made good in lo-
cating in the great new state of Okla-
homa, and that, too, contrary to the
'best of advice of knowing friends,'
proving that he is somewhat of an
old-time game chicken. Last fail
before the advent of his grain harvest
| season and while resting he reset 500
black locust hedge trees, and nearly
the whole planting is growing finely."

Will Open la About Pour weeks.
The splendid new flouring mill
which the Farmers' union is erecting
in Guymon will !>e opened and ready
for business in alwtut four weeks, la
the opinion of Manager Hover, who
has had charge of the work all along.
He informed us that all the machinery
was on hand and that most of it is in-
stalled ready for operation. The en-
gine and milling machinery is nor
placed in shape, but there is consider-
able still undone in the matter of fix-
ing up sjioutlngs and the thousand
and one other things that always go
with the construction of such a
mammoth plant. When the mill is
finally opened it will set in -notion
! splendid machinery in one of the finest
i and most up-to-date milling plants in
the whole southwest. The Farmers'
union made no mistake in erecting the
excellent plant it has constructed and
we predict that even with as good a one
as it now is a few years will see the
plant wonderfully Improved to meet
the rapid development of the business
that it will be called to handle. The
milling business here has only re-
ceived a starter as compared to what
it will be in years to come.
The banks will close for New Year's
as they did for Christmas, both days
being holidays.
