RESIDENCE BURNS
First Fire in Over Two Years Destroys old
Pioneer House Of Canyon

Last Tuesday night about $50
a house located on the corner of
4th and Roper street cOught fire
and burned to the ground. It
was a large eight room cottage
owned by L. E. Cowlin and used
as a rent house out of which
Livingston had just moved that
morning. The house was com
plete loss with no insurance and
only the wind mill tank and
small shed, situated nearby were
saved. AS luck would have it,
only a very light wind was blow
ing and it took very little effort
on the part of those first arriv-
ing to keep the fire from spread
ing to other houses although
there was no way to stop the
fire from destroying the house
after gaining a good headway.
The origin of the fire is un-
known and the few men who ar
rived on the scene first say that
it cOught on the outside on the
southeast corner. Mr.. COwling
stated to reporter that there
had been no fire whatever in the
house nor near it that day and
was unable to account for it's
origin. This house is one of the
Oldest residences in Canyon or
Randall county for that matter,
having been built in April 1890
by L.. G. Conner who moved
from his dug-out into this build
ing. 1t was then a small three
room building but serveral ad-
ditions had been added to it
since then and it is said that
this three room house was about
the fifth house built in Randall
county.

In the cavalry of Uncle Sans
army are some of the most skill
full and daring horsemen in the
world. Cossacks in the Russian
army have been so much written
about as living in the saddle that
by the great majority of our own
people they are considered un-
equaled in horsemanshlp. This
credit is undeserved. The most
competent judges declare that
the crack cavalrymen of the
United States army are superior
to the Cossack horsemen. Our
troopers and their horses are
trained to act almost as one body
and mind, like the tabled Cen
taur-the creature with a horses
body and human head and
arms. By special arrangement
a troop from the army post at
San Antonio will be detailed to
to visit the National Feeders and
Breeders show at Ft. Worth,
March 14th to 10Th and take part
in the horse show. The thou
sands who attend that show will
see things to open their eyes,
and will carry away with them
correcter ideas of the efficiency
of the cavalry branch of our
national army than they have
ever had. This attraction is
worth going to see, not to speak
of the thousands of purebred
cattle, horses, swine, and sheep
on exhibition at the show.

Teachers Meet at Clarendon.


Supt. Redus, Professors Pope
and Coss and Mr.. Cousins OF
Canyon, attended the Teachers
meeting at Clarendon, Feb. 18th
to 26th. They had an excellent
meeting, the program was full
OF useful subjects for discussion
and practically every teacher
whose name appeared on the
program was present and made
excellent talks or presented in
teresting papers.
The people of Clarendon gave
free entertainment in their
homes to the 125 teachers pre-
sent. The Clarendon Methodist
College gave a free entertain
ment in honor of the visitors,
which was most creditable af.
fair. The speeches and music
delightfully."- rendered. The
teachers are loud in their praise
of the good people of our sister
city.
There are about 275 students
in the Clarendon College. Pres
ident Slower is responsible for
the statementthat these students
are boarded for SIS. % per month
and that about 80 students over
18 years of age, board in private
families for the same amount.
He also said he could care for 80
more students in the best pri-
vate homes in the city for that
amOunt-that he Interpretations
from private families for board
ers at Sl5.25 per month. Presi-
dent Rumolds of Goodnight
College is boarding students in
dormitories there at $3.50 per
month and made the statement
that the best homes in the town
are open to serious, genteel
young people at that figure.
Goodnight College and Claren-
don are not far from Canyon.
The freight rates on lumber and
all staple goods are about the
same. If those good people can
take care of students at low
rates Canyon can do as well.
With boarding rates like these
the State Normal school at Can
yon City will have five hundred
students in two years and many
more as rapid as the citizens can
take care of them. With ample,
comfortable and reasonable
boarding places, with good lights
baths and sewers the summer
school in the Canyon will soon
count it's students and visitors
by the scores and hundreds.
We need boarding houses, and
must have them now.
An effort is being made to
have all the teachers of the pan
handle unite on Clarendon for a
summer Normal for this sum
mer and have Mr.. r. B. Consins
in charge of it, there is a chance
for that to be done.
1t seems to be the universal
desire of the teachers that a
summer school be conducted in
the new Normal building in 1911
and every succeeding summer.
Mr.. Cousins says that a score
of teachers voluntarily said to
him in Clarendon that they
will attend the Normal next fall
and bring with them a number
of their students who wish to be
teachers.

The Court House

the complaint OF A Citizen" In
last weeks issue demands a re
sponse from the County Of
iicals' or not. But since you
deem it of sufficient Importance
to dignity it with place in your
columns, it would seem to suggest
some sort of an answer.
l hardly know whether to
write an apology or a defense,
for although l feel that the
County Official should be a ser.
want of the people, yet l am not
conscious of having attempted
to deprive any one of any legiti-
mate right in the use of the
court house. In fact the Com
missioners' Court has not yet
adopted any definite rules for
the control of the building. In
fact we have been rather liberal
in extending the privileges of
the different rooms, One was
turned over temporarily to the
Ladies' Book Club, in which they
keep their library and meet
once each week, there is one
room set apart as a ladys private
rest room, the school board are
extended the use of the Commits
toner's Court room, the civic
league also meet there, the Com
mercial Club uses one of the
court rooms, the Woodman lodge
had a public lecture in the dis
trict courtroom, beside several
other concessions some of them
more or less private in their
nature. Of course now | am
presuming that the Commits.
sioners Court would be the tri-
bunal that Citizens taxpayers"
would regard as the proper
authority to control the court
house, for county authority in
our government, must be del
egated to somebody.
But while the Commissioners
Court has not yet formulated
and adopted any definite rules
for the control of the building,
there has been some sort of con.
troll exercised by the janitor, the
sheriff and perhaps the writer.
Surely so magnificent and ex-
pensive building should have
some sort of care. But if l
have been the means of prevent
ing Citizen" from inspecting
his property" at night by a tai
low candle or dark lantern, l
here and now apologize to him,
and assure him that the next
time he wants to make noe
turnal inspection if he will

the night wind and come up and
open up for him, though, person
ally l have no business around
the court house at night.
Of course, l suppose no one
would deny that court house
Is public building; so is a
church, in a sense, so is a Jail,
so is an insane asylum, but they
each are built for a PURPOSE,
and must be controlled and
governed by certain rules, other
wise the farmer might stack his
grain in the district court room,
the young might monopOlize the
church for the purpose of tip

friends of the Jail bird turn him
out with impunity, and Citizen"
break the asylum.
Again just how careless con-
troll of our court house could be
indulged in without risking the
protection given by our insur-
ance policy, is another important
consideration.
The fact that man is a Tax
payer" does not fix his right to
an unrestricted use of the court
house, if so the larger taxpayer
would have more rights than the
smaller ones, and Citizens"
rights might thereby, for ought
