Gilchrist Warns
Hemphill County
Gibb Gilchrist, state highway engineer, last week
wrote Judge O. R. McMordie the following letter con-
cerning the intention of the highway department which
leaves no shadow of a doubt but that the state will re-
route its highways and miss this county unless Hemphill
County votes paving bonds:
"I see no objection in stating to you that the state
highway commission is determined to construct State
Highway No. 4. entirely across the state. They expressed
their purpose of deferring action on Highway No. 4,
from Wheeler to Perryton, at your own request, until
your county had been given an opportunity of voting
bonds for this construction. If you fail, Robert County
has indicated their desire and willingness to provide
funds for both Highways Nos. 4 and 33, and the highway
commission, at the last meeting, expressed their inten-
tion, in case of failure in Hemphill County, to give
Rob?rts County a chance to get this road.
"I will say that the commission is very anxious for
you to go ahead' and hopes that you will be successful
in your bond issue, but since we are still required to call
on counties for assistance, and the further fact that
State Highway No. 4. is one of our cardinal roads, and
also due to the fact that it can be built through Roberts
County, if Hemphill County fails, I believe this will be
done."
PAVE ROADS AND
BE PROSPEROUS
N. ABRAHAM WRITES THAT
PAVING WILL BRING
NEW BUSINESS.
You have never had anything'
good in your life Without your
having to pay for it. Now, we
have a chance to pave our roads
and oitfy paying one-third the
cost and receiving the full bene-
fit of it.
We will never have a better
opportunity to pave and this
might be the only opportunity,
for if we should lose the state
highways and neighboring towns
get. them, then we have to pay
our money to keep up our own

ional Bank on March 4th, 1930,

Those present from Higgins
were: J. F. Latimer, C. R. Patton,

The object of the meeting was
to provid? ways and means for

between Enid and Amarillo and to
get the various localities togeth-
er on this important project.

munity as good as other prosper-
ous towns and communities. While
it is going to cost us somsthing,
the advance in values on our
property whether homes, farms
or ranches, will amount to much
more than the small increase in
taxes.
We will have to pay the first
year's payments but each year,
th? load will be less, for good

develop our county and each year
there will be more of us to pay
and each one's share will be

and removed the car from the
body. C. C. Stickley was at once
summoned and brought this body
to the Stickley Funeral Home.

From what was said at the
meeting it did not appear that
the idea, of paving had been very
much considered, but when told
of the measures being taken in
H,?mphill county, and to the west
of that point, with the possibility
that Lipscomb county might join
in the movement, it was quite
evident that our Oklahoma
friends were beginning to look
further afield, with a possibility
that they would take the neces-
sary steps for ths best kind of
roads—paved roads.

An unusually interesting P. T.

the feature number. Pupils im-
personated each month of the
year. There was a king in royal
robes and two pages. Seventy-
five pupils in quaint and attrac-

actors. This was given under
the direction of Mrs. Lila Dean.

witnessed the accident, said Bob
was riding on the rear of a truck
loaded with sacks of cement. In
some manner the sack on which
Bob was sitting slipped and fell
to the pavement throwing its
rider with it.
Bob was caught on the spring
of a car and dragged for 'a short
distance. Physicians who attend-
ed Bob said he has two cuts on
his head each about six inches
long and a third smaller gash.
WHEAT CROP PROSPECTS
WERE NEVER BETTER
Prospects for a good wheat
crop in Hemphill county never
looked better at this season of
the year. 1
Parker D. Hanna, county agent,
says he estimates there are close
to 20,000 acres sown to wheat.
This is nearly a 10 per cent in
crease over last year. Little,
if any' of the wheat has been
winter-killed.

TO YOUNG PEOPLE
The Methodist pastor. Rev. A.
B. Davidson, will preach the third
sermon of a series to young peo-
ple next Sunday night, on the
subject, "Love, Courtship and
Marriage According to the Scrip-
tures." "The Certainties of the

Special music will be furnished
at the evening service, by Erman
Gray.
That there was no one injured
as result of a fire at the Queen
Theater Wednesday night, Feb-
ruary 19. was little short of a
miracle. The crowd at the first
show had left and the second
show was just started when there
was an explosion in the projec-
tion boot. The persons in the
theater filed out without confus-
ion.
Walter Worley, who was oper-
ating the picture machine fainted
and fell outside the booth. He
was dragged from the dangerous
position by his brother, Earl,
manager of the theater.
Mr. Worley estimates the dam-
age done the new equipment just
installed at $10,000. There was
no insurance covering the loss.
The Queen had just been redec-
orated and only a few hours be-
fore a new carpet had besn laid.
New talking equipment of the
latest make had been installed.
Talking equipment of the very
latest type will replace the
charred equipment.
The building, owned by J. F.
Cole, was damaged. Frank Cole.
Jr., estimates the damage at $1,-
800. It was insured. The build-
ing will be redecorated.
Quick work on the part of the
Canadian Volunteer Fire Depart-
ment soon had the fire exting-
uished.
