OLD LANDMARK
BEING RAZED
EARLY DAY LIVERY BARN AT
THIRD AND KINGMAN
STREETS.
Kite Brothers have been given
the contract to raze one of Can-
adian's landmarks, the buildings
at Third and Kingman Streets,
owned by J. C. Studer, which in
the early days were used for a
feed yard and livery stable. Work
of tearing down the frame struc-
tures is well under way.
The old livery barn, which oc-
cupies the corner site, was erect-
ed in 1892, by R. Bussell and the
late Vas Stickley. According to
Mr. Bussell the barn was opened
for business July 4, of that year.
Those were the days when sev-
eral hundred head of horses were
often fed and housed in such a
stable as one day's business.
Mr. Stickley sold his interest
in the livery barn to V>;. G. Na
tion, who became a partner of
Mr. Bussel's. In 1894 Mr. Nation
gave up his interest in the busi-
ness, after selling out to John
R. Wright. Mr. Nation then
built another livery barn in an-
other part of town. In 1896, J.
C. Studer purchased Mr. Wright's
interest and also the barn built
I y Mr. Nation.
The barn was continued as a
livery stable for several years,
then Mr. Studer converted it into
a lumber yard. This yard later
was sold to the Panhandle Lum-
ber Company.

ROTARIANS GIVE
PERTINENT FACTS
ABOUT THEMSELVES IN TWO-
MINUTE TALKS AT
CLUB MEET.
A test in extemporaneous speak-
ing was given members of the
Rotary Club Tuesday noon, when
following the luncheon ten mem-
bers were handed cards on which
questions were typed. Each o/;e
receiving such a card was called
on to make a two-minute talk
on the question he received.
The first to talk was H. S.
Wilbur, who spoke on "What Was
My Boyhood Ambition?" Wilbur
declared he had had two ambi-
tions, one to be a street ear
motorman and the other to be a
doctor.
R. T. Alexander replied to the
question, "What Was Your Ex-
perience the First Day You At-
tended School?" He said his
father was a school teacher and
he does not remember the first
day he attended school, as he
was receiving schooling from his
mother and brothers and sisters
as far back as he can remember.
"What Was Your First Job?"
F. N. Sawyer was asked. He
said he was a bookkeeper for a
gin company, but his first real
job was to teach in a country
school where the teacher, just
before him. had been run off
by the pupils.
"What Manner of Proposal Did
You Make In Asking Your Sweet-
heart to Marry You?" was the
question that confronted Dr. E.
H. Morris. He said he consid-
ered it a very personal question
and did not remember just. what,
his manner of proposing was,
but that it was done in the
kitchen.
"What Experience Has Given
You the Greatest Thrill In Life "
S. E. Allison was asked. He
named several things that had
given him a thrill, but said none
could compare with that of marry-
ing his wife and having his
youngsters at home with him at
night when he goes there after
a day's work.
G. L. Addison replied to the
question, "What Continues to be
Your Secret Ambition?" Addison
said -he continues to want to be
a success in life, but believes
the one making out the question
wanted to know that, he has an
ambition for trying to drive ar-
ound a certain corner on the
road to Mobeetie, without turning
his car over. He declared that
he was going to attempt it again
Tuesday afternoon.
C. W. Allen responded to the
question, "If You Had Your Life
to Live Over Again, What Would
You Have Tried to Accomplish
Above All Else." He said he
believed one of the things would
be to obtain a college education.
"My First Impressions When
Attending a Circus?" was asked
L. A. McAdams. McAdams
seemed to have been most im-
pressed with a job he obtained
watering the elephants.
Carl Studer spoke on, "As a
Boy You No Doubt Had a Dog.
Tell Us About This Companion-
ship." Studer told about a bird
dog that had been bitten on the
nose by a rattlesnake. The dog's
head swelled to nearly twice its
normal size, but recovered. After
the bite, the dog's sense of smell
left him and he was worthless as
a bird dog.

FIRE DOES CONSIDERABLE
DAMAGE TO LOCAL
SCHOOL.
Damage estimated anywhere
from §500 to §6.000, resulted
from a fire at the Canadian High
School, Monday afternoon, about
1:45 o'clock. Nearly 280 stud-
ents, who have been drilled
for just such emergencies, filed
out of the building in perfect
order under the direction of
teachers within a minute and a
half after the alarm sounded.
No one was injured.
Miss Nuta Turner, who was
teaching in the room directly
over the furnace room, was first
to discover the smoke... She im-
mediately reported he/ discovery
to F. N. Sawyer, superintendent,
who sounded the fire drill bell
then phoned for the fire depart-
ment. The department respond-
ed promptly and did good work.
The building filled with dense
smoke within a few minutes time.
Mr. Sawyer says after telephon-
ing for the fire department, he
picked up two files of permanent
records and started to carry them
out. but was almost overcome be-
fore lie could gel outside.
Just what caused the fire is
not definitely known, however,
it apparently originated over the
furnace, It was necessary to
chop several holes in the floors
to fight the blaze. Much smoke
and water damage resulted.
Nearly everything of any value
so far as records and equipment
was carried from the building.
The damage was covered by
insurance. Adjusters arrived
in Canadian. Tuesday, and are
making -adjustments. Superin-
tendent Sawyer believes it will
be Monday before any school
'.-an be held <n the hiyb school.
In the meantime, the pupils are
having a vacation.

STORK STRUTS STUFF
IN HEMPHILL COUNTY
The ratio of births over deaths
in Hemphill County during 1930,
will aid materially toward in-
creasing the population figures
of the county. Coleman Jackson,
county clerk, reports there were
31 deaths and 117 births in this
county last year.
o—
Try a Record Want Ad.
Texas marriage license law has
dealt a blow to the number of
marriage licenses issued in Hemp-
hill County over a period of one
year. According to the records
at the county clerk's office only
7 marriage licenses were issued
in this county for the year 1930.
Coleman Jackson, county clerk,
says the average number of mar-
riage licenses issued in his office
each year before the new law-
went into effect was between 50
and 60. Oklahoma and New
Mexico get this business, with
Oklahoma receiving the largest
share.
