DALLAS, Texas.—A strange pro
cession of canves- :overed wagons,
drawn by mules, for more than a
month has been creeping out of
West Texas with farmers and ranch
ers who have despaired of trying to
make a livelihood on the land that
has been parched under a blazing
sun and has seen virtually no rain
for thirty-six months.
The emigrants from this particu
lar section have turned their faces
toward the cotton fields of Eastern
Texas and Oklahoma, where work
for all can easily be obtained. In
some parts of the West Texas dis
trict, dusk finds as many as a dozen
of these emigrant camps in a single
mile.
Even the Panhandle and the nor
thern section of the state come re
ports that similar caravans, remin
iscent of half a century ago, mark
the exodus of farmers from these
districts who are moving toward
Colorado and farther west.
The war has played its part with
the departing homesteader, but lack
of rain has been the real factor.
Most of the settlers have been on
land rented from the state. Some
have spent years of labor building'
, up their herds and others have been ]
working the land into a profitable
state of cultivation.
But the drought came and the
cattle died in numbers and those
that did not die were too weak
to bear young. Livestock men said
the calf crop in West Texas this
year was a failure.
Some settlers had accumulated
enough money to travel, while others
borrowed money with which to make
their departure. In many cases
the war added to the tragedy by
taking away young men. whose
strength might have made it possible
for farmers to hold on until rain
came.
The country which the settlers are
leaving is that west and north of
Forth Worth and Dallas, ranging
as far west as the state boundary
and south of the Pannhandle coun
ties: In the Panhandle there were
rains in the spring and occasional
showers later that kept grass with
which to feed the cattle.
NEW JOHNSON STORE
READY FOR OPENING
Louis Johnson’s new store on j
Front street, which had been only
recently completed, has had the fin-1
ishing touches put in the interior j
arrangements and for the past few i
days he has been busy arranging |
the various counters and shelves,'
and expects to open for business I
in a few days-.
Mr. Johnson’s store will carry a
full line of general merchandise,
such as is usually found in up-to
date Alaskan stores. His large
stock of goods from the old store!
at Wood river has been transferred I
to the new Nenana store and the
stock has been considerably added
to by recent shipments from the
Outside.
The public of Nenana are invited
to call at the store and inspect the
large stock on display there.

dead-line under orders of Capt.!
Joseph Spaulding, commanding offi
cer, at Fort Gibbon:
Commencing at the waterfront to
the east of the most easterly ware
house of the Commission, known as j
Warehouse No. 5 (the log ware-1
houses); thence in a southerly direc-j
tion about 20 feet in front of the!
general office building to a warn-1
ing sign; thence between said office!
building and Dormitory No. 1 to a \
line close to the commissary build-1
ing; thence in a general southerly!
direction between the power plant,:
blacksmith shop, etc., on the one
hand, and the tin shop and cottages
on the other, to the southerly end
of the line of cottages; thence in a
genera! southwesterly direction to j
a point not yet determined, but
i which shall include the old round- j

channel of the most easterly slough |

j ing down this mid channel to the |
| junction of the Nenana and the

i direction to the point of beginning.
! This line on the land side is marked
by warning sign boards and posts.
There are a few of the Com
mission employees living inside of
this reserved boundary, who are en
titled to residence therein and these
few will be granted passes to come j
and go at pleasure during day or
night, but there are others living
inside this boundary, who have
buildings and houses therein, that
are not entitled to such residence.
All persons in this latter class must
iimmediately remove their buildings
and seek residence elsewhere and
the Commission reserves the right
any time after October 1, 1918, to
have these buildings removed and
such persons forcibly ejected.
All employees whose duties force
them to work within the reserve
during the hours between 7 p. m.
and 7 a. m., and all those residing
therein, will be granted passes
counter-signed by myself and no
others will be permitted to pass
