WILL MAKE GOOD ROAD
Approaches 10 he New Canadian Bridge
Afford Good Wagon Road and VIII
Open Big Country

tFrom fridays Daily Panhandlo,)
According to those familiar with
the location and the lay Of the land
on both sides OF the bridge, there
are good natural approaches to the
new Canadian bridge on both sides
Of the river without having to cross
any seriously difficult places.
On the other side Of the river the
country Is roughcr than on the south
side but The road away from the
bridge which has been decided upon
by the county commissioners followa
a draw til It reaches a high ridge
or "backbono' that runs clear to the
open prairie some ten miles to tho
north. on both sides OF the ridge
tAerc is a great deal Of rough coun-
try aud In some places there Is hard
ly more than room to allow wagons
20 make road OF necessary width,
but there are no bad places and the
route viii easily become a good wag-
on road.
Tho distance to Dumas, county
seat OF Moore country, via the now
bridge, Is about forty-flyc miles,
From Dumas to Claiming It Is about
twenty-five miles, SO Claiming will
continue to BIO tholr nearest railroad
point, on many occasions, however,
Amarillo is the moro desirable point
ana with tho help OF the new bridge,
people can come direct to Amarillo
at any time Of the year instead OF
having to 20 to Claiming and then
down on the railroads as they often
nave to do now.
But apart from the Dumas coun-
try there is a big territory which
would have Amarillo for its most
accessible railroad point after the
bridge Is completed. The possibility
OF bridging the Canadian has always
been IN serious question among
those who know the river and It
VIII take some time TO convince the
north Canadian country that the now
bridge is success, when the pos
slbillt rs Of the new bridge are
known and the people get in the hab-
1t Il using 1t, Amarillo will enjoy
close trade relations with a big and
productive territory that is just be-
Ginning to develop.

Cost Of Paint

The difference between
the cost of good paint and
inferior paint is very little
in comparison with the
total outlay for painting a
house.
The time and labor is
the big item. Seems very
foolish TO spend a great
deal of time and money
putting on paint which will
not last. 1t is much wiser
to use old-fashioned "white
lead and linseed oil"

the more easily effected. He says
that the conductors are very much
pleased with the situation, and partic

the runs of trains would be equalized
by the officials at Baltimore. He says
that the B. & o. has shown an inclina.
tion to fairness in its dealings with
all branches of the service though
definite returns have not been heard

SOCIALISTS LOSE
IN GERMANY
KAISER SCORED VICTORY OVER
HIS OPPONENTS AT ELEc-
TloNs YESTERDAY.

BERLIN, Jan. 26.-The latest re
turns from the elections indicate that
the Socialists have lost at least tif
teen seats. Socialist leaders were
returned by reduced pluralities excep,
Bernstein, who was defeated IN Bres
Ian. The Clerical party has held its
own and will have one hundred seats
The second ballot will be required In
many districts. On the face of the re
turns the Kaiser's victory Is over
whelmlng, groups favoring his policy
having two hundred members in ex.
cess of combined votes of Socialists
and Clericals combined.
This is the first election since 1887
that the Socialists have not increased
their representation in the Reichstae
by from FIVE to twenty seats. They
have lost especially In several large
cities. among these places being Bres.
lau, Halle. Magieburg, Leipzig and
Koenigsburg.
The Clerical contre holds almost all
of its former seats having lost one or
two to the Poles In sileslia. There
is possibility that rebaIlotting in the
undecided districts may lose one Or
two more seats to the centre party.
The conservative have won six seats,
two from the anti.semites, two from
the National liberals and two from
the Socialists.
Reballoting probably will be neces
sary in 175 constituencies so that
complete returns will not be in before
February 5.
Certain districts in upper Bavaria
that are snowbound have not yet been
heard from, but they are considered
safe for the. centre party.
