NOTICE TO PUBLIC
day erroneous reflection upon the character, standing or reputation o( any Person,

corrected upon due notice ol same being given to the editor personally at the olllce
at 407 North Main Street, 8hamrock, Texas.
DOWN MAIN STREET
Appropriate for Shamrock and other cities where high-
ways come down Main Street, is an editorial carried in the
last number of “The New Mexico Magazine.” Dangers of
routing a highway down Main Street are given in this arti-
cle, but another could be added which would cause more
thought: Shamrock’s Main Street is the location of two city
schools. Local people will be careful in driving aiear the
schools, but will tourists?
The editorial gives the following views:
“The danger of picking out the main street of a town
and arbitrarily making it a through street, as pointed out in
recent studies made by the National Safety council, has re-
cently been emphasized in several Illinois towns.
“Petitions have been received by the state highway
commission, at Springfield, from representatives of small
towns and villages asking that state roads, around which
many of them have been built, be rerouted, so that the con-
stant stream of traffic may be diverted from their centers.
“According to the representatives, it was once thought
advantageous to bring as much traffic into the main street
as possible, for transient trade meant increased business.
“The flow of cars, however, has become so great and
the speed at which they travel so rapid that few stop at all.
The increased volume has reached a stage where it endan-
gers the lives of the inhabitants.
“Even large cities are now finding that the most suc-
cessful system shunts non-stop traffic around the business
district to avoid congestion in the down-town centers,”
ON WITH THE NEW
Being new is what makes New Mexico a sort of modern
Utopia, we decide after reading a recent news story, giving
a summary of a few of the things which makes it such a
pleasant place to live.
New Mexico, we learn, has no worries over highway
expense—a state gasoline tax of five cents takes care of
that. They have no burdens of huge taxes, they have many
new industries and buildings for employment, they have an
overabundance of land and it is becoming valuable through
proper work and care. To citizens of a state burdened with
taxes, politics and less specific troubles, New Mexico seems
indeed a land of plenty. What others wonder is how it is
done.
The answer is in the fact that New Mexico, until a few
years ago, was considered almost a desert. Only in the past
several years has it shown promise of becoming one of the
most promising states, both in natural resources and agri-
cultural production. Many believe that when it finally reach-
es its highest point in production, it will be recognized with
Hie larger states of the country’. Most of its best points
come from the fact that it is new. Being a new state, New
Mexico has fewer laws but better ones; its governing group
has had opportunity to see the mistakes of others and steer
away from them, to try out new ideas nnd do away with
worn ones; it has taken only the best and is building it into
a new-age government. If New Mexico beckons some of
Texas industries, how can we prevent her from getting
them ?

Dr. W. C. Holden of the history

cavations made at Tecolote (a
Panhandle site not too intimately

stroy it before the archaeologists
can complete the work) and re-
counts the story of the finding of
an underground kiva (Hopl for

tives. Herbert West, a member of

Tlie traditional caution and con-
servatism of the typical archaeolo-
gist is well shown in the concluding
paragraph of Dr. Howard's paper
on the Guadalupe caves:
"The continuation of work of
this kind, it is to be hoped, will
eventually produce sufficient evi- j
dence to enable something definite
to be offered which will convince:
the most skeptical that man has I
existed longer in this country than j
we are willing to admit at this;
time.”
It is known, however, thaf Dr. j
Howard and others have uncovered j
the Texas Tech field force which1 some pretty valuable evidence tend-!
spent five days at the site, wasjing to show that man existed In
strolling along the river bank when I the Southwest during the ice age, a

To get the power necessary for
her gigantic schemes of Industrial-
ization, soviet Russia has built
Dnteprostroy, the greatest hydro-
electric plant in the world drawing
Its energy from a dam 140 feet
high, which impounds the drainage
of 170,000 square miles.
The dam, soon to be formally
opened, is Russia's biggest con-
srtuctlon. But the soviet union
plans to build another dam at Vol-
gastroy that will have a capacity
three times Dnieprostroy's and will
irrigate 10.000,000 acres.
Power has been the cornerstone
of Russia’s industrialization pro-
gram. Since 1920 more than a
score of large central stations and
many smaller stations have been
erected. Power plant output last
year was 10,600.000,000 kilowatt-
hours, twice that of 1928 and five j of
times the prewar output.
To existing capacity Dnleprostroy
Is expected to add an average an-
nual production of 2,520,000,000 kil-
owatt-hours. Its nine turbines,
when in full operation, will have a
capacity of 756,000 horsepower. This
compares with 430,000 horsepower
at America's Niagara Falls, and
612,000 at Musck' Shoals.
Since only three of Dnieprostroy's
nine turbines can operate at all
seasons, the plant will toe supple-
mented with reserve steam plants
having 200,000 horsepower capacity.
At the dedication, Col. Hugh L.
Cooper, American engineer and
chief consultant, will take a prin-
cipal part along with A. V. Winter,
head of the soviet administration
of the project. Colonel Cooper has
been awarded the Order of the
Red Star for his work, the first
foreigner to be so honored.
Russian materials and Russian
labor were used almost entirely In
the construction, but American
methods, supervised by American
engineers, and with American ma-
chinery wore back of them. The
American plans for construction
were chosen after a comparative
test was made between them and a
European design.
Russian labor set several records,
among which was the feat of pour-
ing 510,000 cubic meters of concrete
in 1930. Hits, It Is claimed, is more
than ever had been poured before
on a single project.
The dam, by eliminating a series
of rapids, makes navigable the
Dnieper river from the Black Sea,
200 miles south, to some distance
above Dnleprostroy.
