One of Payne county's largest
taxpayers paid the first, half of
its 1937 tax Tuesday morning, ac-
cording to Harold Straughn, coun-
ty treasurer. The Carter Oil com-
pany was the concern making pay-
ment, and the half payment
amounted to $10,644.37.
At one time this company paid
more than four times this amount,
to be the largest taxpayer in the
county. It now holds fifth place,
with the Santa Fe Railway com-
pany being first in the list of big

Reported loss of $30,000 in project money by the county
farm security administration is expected to cause a curtail-
ment of the lake job. This reduction has not been reported
officially to Joe N. Allen, project manager, but it is under-
stood that reductions in all farm security projects have l>een
•* ordered.
Allen was unable to make a definite statement’ Tuesday
regarding the purported loss, since he had no official infor-
mation on it, but he was of the opinion that if it were true
it would not affect the completion of the dam. His only defi-
nite statement was, "The dam will be finished."
A reduction of such proportions -----
is expected to affect several pha-
• ses of the farm security project
in the western part of the county,
and may require a large layoff of |
men doing both relief and non- j
relief work, it is believed. Some
. phases of the work are expected
to be eliminated entirely, but the
major projects are believed to have
progressed far enough to be com-
pleted without difficulty.
May Abandon Projects
At the present time 427 men are
at work on the project, according
to Allen. Some of these are ex- ;
pected to be released from work
if the $30,000 cut becomes effec-
tive immediately. Just how the
. layoff will be made still is to be
developed, but it is likely that cer-
tain phases of the project will be
abandoned entirely to permit work
to be held within the prescribed
amount.
** It is reported that reductions
have been ordered for similar proj-
ects throughout the nation, some
of the reductions meaning prac-
tical elimination of projects. The
Muskogee recreational project is
believed to have been given a sim-
ilar reducticgi in work funds.
May Finish Cabins
Before the purported reduction
was ordered work had been
pushed to the extent that the most
essential phases of the project can
be continued. Eight cabins are
near completion, lacking only
roads to them, water and sewer I
* connections. This w ork involves
• such a small amount of cost that
it is expected to be completed.re-
gardless of reductions.
The dam too has been pushed
to a point where its completion
is practically assured. Reductions
in w'orkmen or funds are expected
to be restricted to other phases of
the work, and as long as there are I
men and money assigned to the '
i project enough will work on the
dam to advance it to completion,
it is understood.
Official report regarding the
purported reduction is expected to
be received by Allen immediately. ,
. The probable layoff is expected

Stillwater Pioneers closed an un-
defeated season Thursday night in
a game with Oilton. This final con-
test ended in a score of 47 to 0. the
most decisive victory won by Still-
water during the season. This vic-
tory wins the
conference title
and puts them
with Guthrie for
championship.
Thursday night's game was at-
tended by less than 500 fans, due
to freezing temperatures.
The first quarter found both
teams on the "warry" side, testing
each other's strength before open-
ing plays were attempted. Only one
touchdown was made by the Pio-
neers during this period. Robert
Whitenton, co-captain for the Pio-
neers, carried the bali across for
the first counter. He scored two
more touchdowns during the game,
aided by a blocking line and run-
ning backs.
Sylvester Hackworth also car-
ried the bal lacross for three
touchdowns dur ing the game. Olen
Miller took the sexenth counter
over the line.
The game was packed with spec-
tacular plays, tricky laterals and
long runs around the ends. Nol
once during the game did the Oil-
ton

string team was replaced to give
the veterans a oreathing spell. Sta-

Stillwater is having a lire a day
but none of these fires is caused
by burning grass, records at the
fire station show. The new ordi-
nance which prevents the burning
of trash is credited with the com-
I plete elimination of grass fires.
"About this time of the year we
1 would be having three or four calls
a day if trash burning ordinance
still was permitted," said J. Ray
Pence, fire chief.
Monday’s fire was caused by a
gasoline can overturning in the cab
of a Dot ter Bros, w recker The
gasoline was being delivered to a
motorist who had run out of gas.
The can overturned and some of
the liquid ignited when it came in
contact with the exhaust pipe.
