The laid of Proaltc.
The oklahoma Panhandle section
comprises a strip of land 154 miles
long east and west, and thirty-four
miles wide north and south. Origin-
ally the north end of the Panhandle
of Texas, this strip was abandoned
by that state upon the adoption of
Uie Missouri Compromise making the
parallel the northern limit of
slavery in the new territories, this
land lying oorlh of that line.
For many years it was known as
"No Man's Land," and until the
formation of the territory of Okla-
| homa, to which it was attached, was
| not considered a desirable place in
1 which to locate, owing to the total
absence of law or jurisdiction of any
! kind.
Upon the advent of the railroad a
few years ago, however the pioneer
I settlers Itegan their investigations,
and as tiie laud looked good to them
they soon commenced the founding of
homes and towns, until now this en-
| tire section, lately known as Beaver
: county, is covered with farm houses
: one being found almost on every
, quarter section. The land has been
I found extremely fertile, and the pop-
| ulation of old Beaver county has in-
i creased from a few scattered cattle
j men to a total of 36,000.
I Under the new state adjustment
J Beaver county has been divided into
' three counties of about equal size
i known as Beaver, Texas and Cim-
arron. The population of Beaver
county, of which Beaver City is the
county seat, is 14,500; Texas county,
| lying next west, with Guymon as the
county seat, has a population of 16,-
500, and Cimarron county on the
west with no county seat as yet selec-
ted has a population of 5,500.
There are several good towns
along the Rock Island road which
runs through this Oklahoma Pan-
handle diagonally southwestwaid.
The principal of these is Guymon,
situated about the center of Texas
county. The population of this place
is now over 1,500 and is constantly
advancing with a healthy growth.
Guymon has an excellent water works
system, with two banks, with total de-
posits of nearly a half million dollars;
a tine school house costing $14,000
an $18,000 hotel, a 15,000 bushel ele-
vator, mercantile establishments in
all lines, carrying large and complete
stocks; a telephone system, with long
distance connections over Oklahoma,
Texas, New Mexico and Kansas;
rural free delivery routes. Owing to
its location it is the trading point
for over a radius of over 50 miles or
more; and as the rich lands of Hans-
ford county, Texas, lying just south
of here are occupied by farmers, the
business of Guymon must necessarily
increase, it being the nearest rail-
road point
The wonderful resources of the soil
of this country are shown in the vol-
umes of business transacted in towns.
The farmers this year shipped out of
Guymon 89 cars of cantaloupes. One
man sold 91,500 worth from six acres.
Beaver and Cimarron counties shipped
about as many more. Guymon buyers
handled up to November 1, about
$225,000 worth of broom corn, and ex-
pected to buy a total of $350,000. It
is estimated the broom corn crop of
these three counties will amount to
$"00,000, $300,000 worth of wheat has
been marketed out of the 11*07 crop
and much remains to the farmer's
hands. The whole section is under-
laid with a bountiful supply of pure,
sweet water at a reasonable depth,
and the elevation is such as to guaran-
tee an invigorating climate. The
rainfall is ample for the production
ofcropsandthe principal precipitation
is in the growing months of the year.
The winters are mild and the summers
pleasant, with cool nights. The soil
is easily cultivated and produces an
infinite variety of crops -wheat, corn,
alfalfa, barley, potatoes, melons,
vegetables of all sorts, and in short
everything known in the temperate
zone.
For hogs and poultry it Is excelled
by no country. The markets are
always good and the best prices pre-
vail. F.very day is a busy day
among these people. The streets are
always full of hustlers and the roads
full of loads of produce of all kinds
seeking the market so that what but
a few short years was the land of
"no man" has become the abiding
place of many men. the land of thou-
sands of happy homes, and destined
to become in the near future one of the
"Garden Spots" for which the great
southwest is so famous.—The West-
ern Trail.

Letter to Q. J. Pontow.
Guymon, Okla., Dec. 26, 1907.
Dear Sir: Mr— president
of a cotton mill at Union, S. C. he
don't want to see bis name in print,
had two offers of 500 gallons of paint:
$1.30 and $1.25. Took the $1.25 and
got skinned. He'd have got three-
quarters skinned if he'd taken the
other.
The $1 30 was full gallon; the $1.25
was 18 per cent short. The full-meas-
ure paint was adulterated 40 jht cent
the short measure paint was adulter-
ated 45 per cent, besides benzine in
the oil, don't know how much.
Devoe lead-and zinc wasn't sold in
the town then
It don't pay to monkey with paint-
Devoe costs less than any of'em;
not by the gallon, of course; by the
house and year. That's how to
reckon it. Go by the name.
Yours truly.

A
Bad
JJ-8
Irregularity is bad in every department of life, in meals, in sleeping hours,
but especially when it is a question of womanly habit. Not only is it a sign of
female disease, but, unless cured, it will cause dangerous troubles, because of
the poisons thus allowed to remain in the system.
If you suffer in this way, get a bottle of
Wine ofCardui
Mrs. Luclnda Johnson, of Fish Craek, Wis., writes: "I suffered for fourteen (14) years vith Irregu-
larity, causing great pain. At last I triad Cardui, and uow I am curad." At all druggists, in $1 bottles.
