Firemen and Policemen Push Civil Service Shift in Amarillo
In Amarillo Texas firemen and policemen campaign to adopt a state civil service system for their departments. Voters head to the polls December 26 to decide scrapping the city system in favor of state rules with promotions by merit and a civil service commission. The plan faces concerns over home rule and city finances but is framed as benefiting public safety and discipline.

The Bell Brand Bell Ranch A Saga Of Cattle And Change
The Bell Brand saga follows the Bell Ranch from its 17th century Mexican land grants through 19th century consolidation by the United States Cattle Raising Company to 20th century management shifts. It traces land grants to Montoya and Cabeza de Baca, Waddingham’s promotion, and the ranch’s rise into a major irrigation fueled cattle empire before decline and modernization erase frontier life.
