The Prehistoric Pueblos of the Panhandle
(Editor's Not*—Mr. Studer, the
author of this article, follows as a
relief occupation the study of his-
tory and prehistory. He is regard-
ed as the fo-emost authority on
the Prehistoric Plains Indian, and
Is recognized nationally for his re-
search activities in archaeology
and historic geology. The house
ruins of the Panhandle Pueblo-
culture, which is comparable to
Pueblo II type of architecture in
the Pecos Classification, were first
Unearthed on Wolf Creek in Ochil-
tree County, Texas, in 1907 by Dr.
T. L. Eyerly now in Denver. Colo.
Mr. Studer, while a student at
Canadian Academy, was with Dr.
Eyerly on this first organized
archaeological expedition in the
Panhandle. Some years later Dr.
Warren K. Moorehead, dean of
American archaeologists, further
excavated these ruins. Dr. Moore-
head has made five trips from An-
dover, Mass., to study the Pueblos
of the Panhandle. Mr. Studer has
been locating, mapping, photo-
graphing and excavating many
similar "buried cities" through the
years. Scientists from the fore-
most universities, Europe as well
as America, have come to Mr. Stu-
der in their studies of prehistoric
man. Among them: Dr. Edgar R.
Howard. University of Pennsyl-
vania and Carnegie Institution,
current president for the Society
of American Archaeology, has
made many trips to the Panhan-
dle; Dr. Ernst Antevs, noted Swed-
ish glacial geologist, has made sev-
eral trips to this area; Dr. J.
Aldcn Mason, University of Penn-
sylvania; Dr. Ronald B. Olsen,
American Museum of Natural His-
tory; Dr. Walter Hough of Smith-
sonian Institution; and many oth-
ers have visited the Panhandle
area on one or more occasions. At
present, with the cooperation of
the Panhandle-Plains Historical
Society and Museum and using
WPA labor with expert foremen,
excavation work under Mr. Stu-
der's direction is being carried for-
ward at a more rapid rate than
ever before. We are proud to pre-
sent Mr. Studer's sketch of these
first citizens of the Panhandle.)
By FLOYD V. STUDER
Two thousand years ago when Ju-
lius Caesar was subduing the savage
tribes of Europe, and gathering ma-
terial for his book in which he di-
vided Gaul into three parts, a race
of men expressing a culture far su-
perior to that found by the Roman
Legions among the Gauls, the Huns,
the Franks, the Vandals, and the
Goths lived in the American South-
west and Mexico.
It may be that even then some of
their kinsmen lived peacefully along
the water courses of what is now the
Panhandle-Plains region of Texas,
while their European contemporaries
north of Rome were living in grass
huts and caves. We do know that
somewhat later this civilization ex-
isted here in full flower. We know
these people were descendants of
Asiatics who had migrated to this
continent countless centuries before
the Norsemen. Columbus, Coronado
and other Europeans set foot here.
Just when these people, who were
sedentary and home-loving, first
built their large apartment houses,
or when and why they abandoned
this region, has not been defer-
mined. According to the Pecos
Classification, they represent in
architecture Pueblo II. which flour-
ished from the latter part, of the
ninth century to the end of the tenth.
No doubt this house building, pot-
terv-making culture existed long
before that time, and extended much
later, as civilizations of this kind
crow slowly and usually die slowly.
The Panhandle Pueblo Culture was
the mast highly developed culture
in Texas.
We know that these people were
Ascendants of those first citizens
who came to this continent from
Asia by way of the Aleutian Islands,
the Behring Strait, and Alaska, some
10 to 15 thousand years ago, when a | later.

ing implements, and flint awls.
Stone and bone heads and pendants
were the prevailing styles for jewelry
of that day. Pipes, pot polishers,
arrow shaft polishers, ceremonial
objects, all helped to make mining a
profitable industry for the early In-
dian. Thousands of tons of Hint
have been removed from the great
flint mines of Northwest Texas.
Flint was as essential to the Indian
as steel is to us today.
Metates and mortars, manos and
pestles, are perhaps the earliest
household devices used to prepare
foodstuffs by primitive people. The
Indians owned and operated the
-First Great West Mills" in the
Panhandle. They were the mills
of the prehistoric Indians as well
as of the Indian tribes of historic
times. The Panhandle Pueblo In-
dian, a sedentary agriculturist, used
both the portable metate and the
stationary mortars in boulders. The
typical mano, or rubbing stone, was
made of hard stone, usually quartss-
ite. Wooden pestles were used in
the smaller mortars, where plants
wrre ground with minerals to make
paints. An important array of me-
tates and manos belonging to these
people have been recovered, and
many of them may be seen, with
other exhibits of this area, in the
Panhandle Plains Historical Socity
Museum at Canyon, Tex.
These early citizens hunted buf-
falo and antelope, not only for
food and clothing, but also for hide
and bone to be used in many ways.
Fowls, such as ducks, prairie chick-
en and quail, were abundant, as
their bones have been found in the
kitchen middens. The pack rabbit,
too, apparently was a familiar resi-
dent of the Panhandle, then as
Rising majestically from the Plains
of Texas is the Herring Hotel, an
institution which has played a far-
reaching role in the growth of Ama-
rillo from a typical western trading
center of 1926 to the metropolis of
a rich empire of 1938.
Two factors caused this 600-room,
14-story modern hotel to be erected.
One was the discovery of oil in the
Texas Panhandle. The other was
a desire on the part of two men-
Col. C. T. Herring and Col. Ernest
O. Thompson—to "do something"
for the city they loved.
Colonel Herring was a pioneer
cattle baron and banker. Colonel
Thompson was a young lawyer, who
started selling papers on the streets
of Amarillo when it was a town of
2,000 inhabitants. Each had vision.
Amarillo started its remarkable de-
velopment when oil was discovered.
Colonel Thompson already had pur-
chased one hotel and built, a modern
addition. But, in their opinion,
Amarillo was just beginning to grow
—it needed as good and as big a
hotel as other big cities.
Colonel Herring let the contract
in the late summer of 1926. A two
year lease had been given to his
young friend—Colonel Thompson.
Oil New Year's Eve the Herring
Hotel held a gala opening—and from
that day on it has been a popular
meeting place of West Texas citizens. |
Its fame for hospitality is known
throughout the entire Southwest.
After serving as mayor two terms, j
Colonel Thompson was appointed on
the Texas Railroad Commission, a
position he continues to hold. In j
the meantime, or after the expira- |
tion of the two-year lease, Colonel
Thompson formed his own company
and purchased the Herring Hotel
from Colonel Herring.

THE FIRST KNOWN CIVILIZATION in the Panhandle was built by apartment
dwejlers. The ruins of some of these dwellings are pictured here. These photos, taken
by Floyd V. Studer, show an excavation project now being completed within less than
two hours drive of Amarillo. The top photo is a bird's-eye view of the ruins which
are on a small secondary plain of a canyon through which flows a sand-filled creek.

the rooms. At the bottom is a ventilating shaft to one of the rooms, still in a splendid

Why these "first American apart- '

they were abandoned within a rela-
tively short space of time—can
only be guessed. Raids by war-
like enemy tribes, a peaceful and
deliberate emigration to the West

severe drouth was in 980. Na-
ture's own records (tree ring chron- a!]
ologyt indicate drouths occurred in 10
thr last few years of both the
tenth and eleventh centuries, and a
particularly severe 24-vear drouth
from 1276 through 1299, according
to Dr. A. E. Douglass, Dendrochro-
nologlst of the University of Ari-
zona'.
But the story of the Pan-
handle Pueblo Indian has by no
means been lost. The ruins of his
home, his baskets and pottery, his :
bone and shell instruments, even
the refuse from his kitchen tell a
graphic and indisputable story of.
his daily life.
The Panhandle Pueblo Culture
seems to have been restricted large-
ly to the Texas Panhandle. The
villages were built invariably along
water courses where water was
available for their daily use. It is
indicated that they irrigated their
crops with water from these streams
—which were, by the way, clear and !
swift-running and probably abound-
ing in fish, rather than the sand-
filled gullies that we know today.
Here they built the first apart-
ment houses in America. The ruins
of these structures s'how this early
citizen was a skillful builder, and ;
constructed his home for comfort
and permanency. He cared little
for architectural symmetry, as in
only a few instances have archaeolo-
gists uncovered an "apartment" j
house that indicated deliberate bal-
ance of design.
With a few exceptions, where one-
room houses have been uncovered,
all of the buildings were unit-type

The first candy store in Amarillo
and the first soda fountain—those
are the twin distinctions held by
A. E. Loomis, owner of the Loomis
Candy Company plant at 1405-B
West Sixth Street.
Ml". Loomis came to Amarillo in
1906 from Missouri with 35 cents in
his pocket. In 1907 he opened his
first candy store on the s>te of the
present Capitol Theater. In 1910 he |
moved across Polk Street into the ,
building now occupied by the Lamar
Cafe. It was there that he put in i
the first soda fountain in the city
It cost $4,000 and really got the
attention.
In 1915 Mr. Loomis opened a
candy store at 616 Polk Street, and
in 1918 he built a store at Tenth
and Van' Buren streets and went
into the enndy jobbing business. In
1926 he sold this business and be-
came superintendent, successively of
the Tri-State Candy Company, Pur-
ity Candy Company and the Ama-
rillo Candy Company. These three
companies succeeded each other in
the same place of business and Mr.
Loomis stayed on as superintendent.
In 1929 he moved Ixack to 410
West Tenth Street and entered the
wholesale and retail candy business
A year and a half ago i,e opened |

Inside lip
An "inside tip" led to the estab-
lishment of Amarillo's first foundry.
Jacob W. Sell, who opened the
Amarillo Foundry in 1913, was living
in Ohio in 1908. laboring in an iron
works and looking for an opportu-
j nity to go West. A friend who had
j traveled extensively through the
' western states advised him to settle
in Texas and to be mor specific,
he told Mr. Sell that a town named
Amarillo was destined to become
j the metropolis of Texas.
Early in 1909 Mr. Sell located in
| Amarillo. Four years later he estab-
| lished the Amarillo Foundry Com-
! pany. During the intervening 25
years, with the exception of a pe-
riod from 1921-26 when the foundry
was closed, the firm has bought more
! than 8000 tons of iron and used 40
! carloads of coke.
Mr. Sell believes the Amarillo
: Foundry is the only foundry in the
| world using petroleum coke for fuel.
! The firm does general foundry work,
specializing in the manufacture of
plete line of crackers and rakes, i
employs seven salesmen and eight
persons work in the plant and of-
fice here. Present manager, L. V.
Bently, was named to his post in i
1932, after having first come to Ama- |
rillo in 1920 as salesman for the i
same concern. He has been as- j
sedated with the Merchants Bis-
cuit Company since Christmas Day, j
1919.
Construction is well underway at
the present time on a new building
for the company. It will be located ;
at 406 Grant Street, and it will be
completed around October 1. I
