"KEEPING EVERLASTINGLY AT IT IS BOUND TO BRING SUCCESS.
CASHION, KINGFISHER COUNTY, OKLAHOMA, THURSDAY, MARCH 30 1916.
NO. 48
A ROUSING BOOSTER
MEETING
Last Monday evening the lar-
gest number of men ever assem
bled together in Cashion met at
Arky's hall to attend the meeting
ot the Farmer's and Business
Men's Association. The house
was full and several had to re
main standing thruout the meet-
ing.
The commissioners of Kingfish
er County, Wm, G Newer, Co-
unty Clerk and C. R. Steel, en
gineer and surveyor were present
besides a number of people from
Lockridge and Reeding.
Mr. Patrick, chairman of the
board of County Commissioners
made an interesting talk1 at the
beginning of the meeting. He
described carefully and in a man
ner so that all could understand,
the process by which the cmnty
gets its funds for road and bridge
work. He also told us what work
had been done in the county this-
year, and in fa&, gave us a very
interesting talk. Mr. Steel also
gave a very instru&ive and inter
esting talk on scientific road build
ing, and several of our- good road
enthusiasists asked him questions
which he cheerfully answered.
Mr. Newer also gave a talk on the
duties of the excise board. Sev-
eral other parties made interest
ing talks during the evening, and
a great deal of enthusiasm reign-
ed thruout the meeting.
Arrangements had been made
with Mr. Sloan, Chairman of the
board of County Commissioners
of Logan County to meet with us
and we had expe&ed bim until
Monday noon when we found out
he would not be here. He had
promised the secretary of the As
sociation. by telephone, several
days ago that he would meet with
us, but from his conversation
over the phone on last Monday it
seems that he has no sympathy
with the wishes of the taxpayers
in the southwest corner of Logan
County. This part of the county
is in his distrift. The commis-
sioners of Kingfisher County are
ready to share their part of the
expense in replacing the County
line bridge on the Cottonwood,
but Mr. Sloan so far has never
stood hitched for the deal. Of
course he makes the usual excuse
that there are not enough funds I
on hand in Logan County to cov
er the cost, but that is an old cry ,
for the simple reason is that the |
bridge has been out of commission )
for almost three years, and has
been unsafe for the past six or
seven years We are also inform
ed that Mr. Sloan has already de-
clared himself against replacing
this bridge in the next levy which
will be made in Juty. About the
only thing that remains open for
the taxpayers of this corner of
Logan County is to go before the
Commissioners of Logan County
and demand that some arrange-
ments be made to do this work
M'r. Langston, member of the
board of County Commissioners
of Logan County declared him
self over fhe telephone last Mon
day, to J. Arthur Short and also
to the secretary of the Associa
tion, in favor of rebuilding the
Cottonwood bridge and told us
that he would gladly meet with
the Association, but for the reas-
on, that he had been out of town
for the past several days and did
not feel able to come.
The/following gave their names
to the secretary for membership;
