Let Everybody help In THIS Work For the Up-
building of Our Community.
Our people have been asked to fur-
nish eight miles of right-of-way, with
depot and terminal facilities, together
with a bonus of $5,000 to the Oklaho-
ma City, Lexington an Sulphur Elec
trie Railway Co. A portion of this
amount has already been subscribed; it
should, every dollar of it, be made up
in one day. It is idle talk to say the
road would not be of inestimable value
to Pauls Valley and surrounding coun-
try, we have now three roads, they
have cut off some of our surrounding
trade and to that extent have hurt the
town, but we are at a point where we
cannot afford to stop, if we can get
this road it will give us competition
and make Pauls Valley a railroad cen-
ter indeed. With it built in here
there will be little trouble to get other
lines. Oklahoma City gave the right-
of-way through its borders and a bonus
of $10,000 to the Choctaw railroad
about 1891. They were then prosper-
ous and happy. When the road went
through, Shawnee, McCloud, Choctaw
City and Tecumseh built up and by
1887 Oklahoma City was a corpse.
Thousands of people left the place, and
corneT lots on the best streets were for
sale at most any price; but there were
some men working for the place who
had brains enough to see that they
could not stop where they were, so the
Frisco, by „hard effort, was induced to
build into the place from Sapulpa, giving
thereby a direct line to St. Louis. The
history of Oklahoma City since that ad-
ventitious day reads like a romance.
Where there were some seven or eight
thousand people in 1897 we now find
thirty thousand. Real estate has in-
creased more than a thousand fold,
other roads have come, millions of dol-
lars have been invested and Oklahoma
City is today the marvel of the south-
west. Remember you cannot get
something for nothing; if you build a
greater Pauls Valley you must be will-
ing to do your share; you must not
stand idly by and say, "Oh, well, the
road is coming anyhow, there is no
use in my doing anything". A citizen
who is not willing to do hid share in
building up public enterprises is not
worthy to share in the prosperity that

POLITICAL RALLY.
LOCAL MARKET REPORT.
HON. WEBSTER FLANAGAN PRINCI-
PAL SPEAKER AT ARDMORE
RALLY.
The Lincoln Club, one of the
strongest political organizations in the
Indian Territory, had a big rally at
Ardmore Monday night at the court
house, many prominent Republicans of
the Chickasaw Nation being in at-
tendance.
The feature of the meeting was the
strong address made Jby Hon. "Webster
Flanagan of Austin, Tex., famous for
the remark, "What are we here for?"
who spoke on the issues of the day.
He predicted the election of Roosevelt
by a big majority, and said that Texas
would roll up a big vote for the Nation-
al and State tickets. He declared for
single statehood with Oklahoma, and
was warmly received.
T, N. Robnett of Ardmore also made
an address.
Hon. Frank Greer of Oklahoma, on
the program as one of the principal)
speakers, was detained on account of
high waters near Purcell. The meet-
ing was one of the most successful
ever held here.—Dallas News.

A UNIQUE PRESCRIPTION.

Twenty persons have perished, as a
result of the floods in New Mexico the
last week. Ten passenger trains are
tied up at Santa Fe and passengers are
being sent east and west over the Rock
Island and Southern Pacific.
WITH CLOUDLESS SKIES AND
Dusty Streets ■ Yellow Flood Comes Down
From the Head Waters ol This Stream
In the Rockies.
The South Canadian river, which
rises in the Raltoon mountains of New
Mexico is now at full tide, its low
banks are overflown and the corn and
cotton fields are its highway. This is
a stream which appears to be a river
up side down, it flows for hundred of
miles through Oklahoma and the In-
dian Territory, its entire length through
these sections is strewn with mountains
of white sand that in the summer heat
glow and glisten like pyramids of snow.
The inhabitants of the peaceful little
town of Purcell on our north were
aroused from their quiet musings by
the boom and roar of a mighty flood,
pouring down this stream, sweeping
crops, fences, out houses, bridges and
crossings away as though they were
but stubble. The approches to the
Santa Fe bridge on each side of the
river have been washed away and we
learn that the road bridge connecting
Purcell and Lexington is entirely gone.
The water was three feet deep in the
passenger depot in Purcell and from
four to five feet deep in the Santa Fe
round house. It is thought that Lex-
ington has fared even woise than Pur-
cell, the water between the two places
now resembles a small ocean, and there
is no communication The bridges all
along this stream are almost washed
partly or entirely away. The damage
done will run into the hundreds of
thousands of dollars. All passenger
traffic is suspended.
The monuments over th; graves of
Chas. Garrison and J. W. Marshburn
were unveiled by the Woodman of the
World last Sunday afternoon. A pro-
pitious evening caused a large crowd I PROMINENT LAWYER HONORED
to witness the exercises. The unveil-
ing ceremony was carried out in ritual-
istic style. The Chigley singing class
was present, rendering the vocal part
of the program in a pleasing manner.
Hon. Claude Weavlr of Pauls Valley
delivered an address and fully substain-
ed his reputation as the silver-tongued
orator of the Indian Territory. As a
flowery talker he has few equals in the
South.—Davis News.
We call our readers attention to M.
