STUDER MAKES
LOAN OF RELICS
LARGE NUMBER OF ARCHEO-
LOGICAL SPECIMENS ARE
IN COLLECTION.
L. F. Sheffy, secretary of the
Panhandle Plains Historical So<
ciety. has recently announced the
addition of a number of speci-
mens from the Floyd Studer Col-
lection to its museum located at
Canyon. These, added to the
nearly one hundred archeological
specimens already on hand, make
one of the most valuable collec-
tions in the museum.
Mr. Studer, owner of the new
accession, is very much interested
in the work being done by the
Historical Society, and has mani
fested such since its beginning.
He is a native of Canadian, Texas
and is a resident of Amarillo.
Mr. Studer is probably the best
informed man in the field of
archaeology and pateontology in
the Panhandle. He has made an
intense study ' of both, and has
been of great value to these sci-
ences. His collection consists of
other valuable specimens which
will be placed here as soon as
much needed room can be ob
tained for the museum which is
now being seriously retarded by
lack of space.
Mr. L. F. Sheffy, head of the
history department, and Fitld
Secretary of the society, is weil
pleased with the interest being
taken in the various collections
by students and visitors. The
museum is rapidly becoming one
of the show places of the South-
west. Aft*. Staeffy says, "The
greatest need of the society, now
is more room in which to display
the splendid collections which
are being added in quick suc-
cession to our museum." He ex-
pects to have the latest speci-
mens arranged for inspection
within a week.
This addition includes one case
of PhytoBaur specimens—ribs,
conrolite, armour plate, and teeth
—Tria&sic Age; one specimen of
insect in ambrr; two specimens
of vertebra, of Phytosaur; one
specimen of slab of fossilized
teeth of Dinosaur—Triassic; and
one specimen of a slab of fossil-
ised firm.—Th< Prairie.

SUCCESS OF PROJECT MEANS
BETTER THAN 50 MILES
OF PAVED ROADS.
HIGHWAY DEPT.
MEANS BUSINESS
THINK THESE FIGURES OVER
IT WILL REROUTE HIGHWAYS
33 AND 4, IF HEMPHILL
DOESN'T PAVE.
I was delegated by the citizens
to accompany the county com-
missioners to Austin, last Octob-
er, to interview the highway com-
mission. It was rumored at that
time that unless Hemphill county
took means to consider paving
Highways 33 and 4, that there
was a possibility of her losing
these two important highways.
I was of the opinion that it
would be impossible on account
of our having a good bridge
across the Canadian, but found
that 1 had a mistaken impres-
sion. The highway department
told us that Ochiltree county
wished to come due south with
their pavement, which would
throw the highway about 20 miles
west of Canadian; and since Rob-
erts county has indicated a desire
to pave, the plan was to meet
this highway and bridge in Rob-
erts county, due north of the
town of Miami.
The highway department said
it would build a bridge across
the Canadian river west of us,
should there be a changn in the
designation of highway 38 and
4. The highway department seems
to take the position, that they are
willing to help those counties
that wish to help themselves, or
in other words, counties that
vote bonds can depend on the
highway department to do their
part.
We met with the highway de-
partment on Monday afternoon,
and its members told us that un-
less Hemphill county indicated
that they wished to vote a bond
issue to pave, that they would,
and could change Highways 33
and 4, to go west of us, and cover
the route as mentioned above.
I told them that there was con-
siderable interest in paving now
since it was so universal, and
that a number of the substantial
taxpayers of Hemphill county had
signified that they would like to
see our county paved, and that
I was of the opinion that a bond
issue would carry and if this
was the case the highway depart*
ment made the statement that
nothing further would be done

With the amount of gasoline
sold in Hemphill county the past
year and with r gasoline tax of
4 cents a gallon, which went into
effect last September, the state
is deriving at the rate of $62,540
a year from this county. Of this
amount, the county gets back
$16,500 from the state road funds.
This shows that the taxpayers
are spending their money to help
keep up roads other places. Why
not get more for what is being
paid the state and ride on paved
highways? Clancy Fisher has ob-
tained figures from those in au-
thority showing that the sales of
gasoline in Hemphill county in
1929, amounted to 1,563,500 gal-
Ions. That figure, he said, does
not include a station at Glazier.
With the present 4 cent tax in
effect that many gallons will pro-
duce $62,540 revenue that goes
to Austin.

TREE TRIMMING
NEEDS ATTENTION
CITY BEAUTIFUL CAMPAIGN
CALLS THIS TO ATTEN-
TION OF CITIZENS.
The yard and garden contest
sponsored by the Rotary Club
Will soon get into action, B. F.
Tepe, chairman, announces. The
various committees will be ap-
pointed this week and a real
campaign will be launched that
will cause the city of Canadian
to become a more beautiful place
in which to live. •
Mr. Tepe says the first subject
for the attention is the pruning
of trees in the parkways. All
branches and limbs should be
not less than ? feet from the
ground. There are too many
trees in parkways of Canadian
the branches of which now knock
off pedestrian's hats, scratch
faces and endanger eye sight.

To the Tax Paying Voters of
Hemphill County:
We, the undersigned citizens
and tax payers of Hemphill coun-
ty desire to place a few facts be-
fore the voters at the coming
election for bonding our ranches,
farms and homes to the large
sum of seven hundred thousand
dollars.
The method of financing these
bonds can be likened to the farm
(er, rancher or business man fin
anting his affairs. Your farm,
j ranch or homes will be put up
for collateral or security for the
bonded indebtedness. This will
call for at least five and one-half
percent interest plus three and
one-third percent interest on
thirty year bonds for a sinking
fund. Thus, making a total of
eight and five-sixths per cent in-
terest on seven hundred thous-
and dollars which will be $61,-
333.33 per year for thirty years
amounting to the colossal sum of
one million eight hundred fifty-
four thousand nine hundred and
ninety-nine dollars and ninety-
nine cents to be taken out of the
purchasing power of our citizens.
Eastern capital buying these
bonds will see that this stagger-
ing sum of interest is thus se-
cured.
When you add on to our al-
ready high tax rate, $61,833.33
the purchasing power of our peo-
ple will be reduced' exactly that
same amount each and every
year for thirty years.
Debt is an awful thing. It has
brought suffering and loss to
men, women and children through
out our land. Cisco, one of our
cities in this state is bankrupt
and her homes are subject to the
payment of interest past due.
Should this county have a poor
financial year and you—the prop-
erty and home owners be unable
to pay your taxes, your ranch,
farm or home can be listed for
sale to pay due taxes. <Mr. Clar-
ence Owsley, in a letter to the
Dallas News states that a county
judge told him that eight hundred
farms in that judge's county were
(Continued on back page)
Hemphill County commission-
er's court Friday afternoon, ord-
ered a special election held March
25, to vote on a $700000 bond
issue, $500,000 of which will be
used in paving Highways 33 and
4, through Hemphill county. The
remaining $200,000 will be used
in improving lateral roads of the
county and acquiring 100-foot
right-of-ways for those roads.
A copy of the court's order was
forwarded to Austin, Saturday,
for the approval by the state
highway commission. Approval of
jjhe ' order ^:wasreceived by Judge
O. R. McMordie, Monday, in a
telegram from the state highway
engineer's office.
The proposed action will fin-
ance the paving of Highway No-
33, which runs through the coun-
ty in a northeasterly direction
and connects Canadian with Rob-
erts county on the west and' Lips-
comb county with Canadian, on
the north; also. Highway 4, con-
necting with Mobeetie to the
south.
Success of the project will give
Hemphill county better than 50
miles of paved road and as much
more improved road with 100-foot
right-of-ways. The highway de-
partment is at present surveying
between Pampa and Canadian on
the re-routing ot Highway 33, be-
tween those points. The paving
of Highway 4, will likely follow
the new route, determined re-
cently by the highway depart-
ment, leading to Wheeler instead
of Mobeetie.
The commissioner's court ses-
sion was called last Friday, as
result of a petition filed by di-
rectors of the Canadian Chamber
of Commerce.
The Amarillo News, Monday,
carried the following editorial
concerning the Hemphill County
good roads project:
An election to vote on $700,000
in road bonds has been called in
Hemphill county, and March 25
has been set down on the calen-
dar as a red letter day for Can-
adian and the county. State and
national highways gradually are
being paved throughout the Pan-
handle, and the Hemphill election
will determine the outcome of an
important link in the improve-
ment program.
Paving on Highway 33 now
runs from Canyon to Pampa, and
Gray county is preparing to ex-
tend it further east. If Hemp-
hill votes its bonds next month
the route soon will be a solid
stretch of paving across the
Plains.
Included in the issue to be sub-
mitted also are funds for paving
routes south toward Shamrock.
From all angles the Hemphill
project is one of the most im-
portant in the Panhandle road
development in recent years, and
the outcome of the election will
be watched with more than pass-
ing interest by the citizenship of
the entire Plains territory.

CANADIAN GIRLS LOSE T
FAST GAME TO DURHAM
asassii
Canadian high school girls lost
one of the fastest games ever
witnessed on the local court to
the Durham, Okla., sextette, last
Friday night. The Durham girls
are of championship calibre,
therefore a defeat by them should
not discourage any team. Wat-
son, at forward, for the visitors
was probably the best player to
ever grace the local court. Brown
and Tyler played outstanding
games for Canadian. Coym did
splendidly in the last few min-
utes of the game.
