THE CHANDLER NEWS
HAKRY B. OILSTRAP, Editor.
Chandler bought the first
bale of cotton and paid a good
price for it. Our business men
should see to it that Chandler is
in the cotton business till the
last bale is marketed and that
the top price is paid in every
case. This is, by reason of its
location, the natural cotton
market for eastern Oklahoma,
for there is probably more cotton
raised within thirty miles of
Chandler than in all the rest of
Oklahoma. We want to give not
equal advantages merely, but
better ones. It is only by har-
monious, persistent effort that
Chandler can be kept in front.
While it is now too late to at-
tempt to arrange for a street fair
for Chandler this fall,it is uot too
late to take hold of the work of
preparing a traveling exhibit of
Lincoln county products. The
Frisco nas generously offered to
aid us by furnishing a car for the
exhibit, and it should be tilled
with samples of our finest prod-
ucts and put in charge of two or
three good, hustling men and
sent up north to "show" our
friends who are inclined to dis-
credit the reports of Oklahoma's
fertility. It should be well sup-
plied with good advertising mat-
ter, setting, forth the facts in
regard to the resources and pos-
sibilities of this country. Such
an exhibit might visit the larger
towns in some of the northern
states, stopping a day or two at
each, and would result in the
bringing of hundreds of enter-
prising, hustling farmers to this
county.
0\'e of the shortest roads to
lower taxes and better public im-
provements is to be found in the
early development of our
resources to the highest possible
degree.- Fertile lands should not
be left unproductive or poorly
tilled; good business openings
should not be neglected; oppor-
tunities' for the establishing of
manufacturing enterprises
should not be overlooked. In
other words, immigration of the
very best class of farmers should
be encouraged; the opportunities
for the profitable investment of
capital here should be pointed
out to the men who have the cap-
ital to invest; manufacturing es-
tablishments which can be
operated here with profit should
be sought after. We are bound
to be discovered, sooner or later,
if we patiently wait, but if we get
up and hustle we can gain five
or ten years in the march of
progress, and that counts for
something.
No more gratifying result of
the increasing valuation of Lin-
coln county can be seen than the
way in which numerous school
districts are taking steps to
build better school houses. What-
ever a man may think of voting
bonds, as an abstract question,
he is blind indeed to the interests
of his community if he hesitates
or objects when it comes to the
question of bonding his district
for school purposes. A large
proportion of the districts in
Lincoln county now have valua-
tion sufficient to enable them to
issue bonds sufficient to build
good, commodious school houses.
Many are doing this, and we
hope to see others follow, until
every district shall have a build-
ing that will be an evidence of
general interest in educational
matters.

That it is the BEST
That CAN BE PUT UP
INDIAN TERRITORY OPINION.
"Single territory hood" is what
we will no doubt get* from the
next session of congress, whether
we want it or not. The Register
is not in love with the territorial
form of government,as it is open
to many objections, but congress
will require us to .pass through
that form of purgatory before
giving us the free and untrarn-
meled citizenship that is granted
to the people of a state. What
we should all work and pray for
is that we may just as speedily
as possible pass through this in-
termediate sta^e into the full
liberties of a state, ceasing to be
made the dumping ground for
political misfits from other states
and gaining the privilege of
choosing our own officers.—Pur-
cell Register.'
The Duncan Banner says the
per capita debt of Arizona is *11,
of New Mexico *4, and of Okla-
homa 75 cents." This is the state
debt and speaks well for the new
territory. If the Indtan terri-
tory should be made a part of
Oklahoma and we have had to
assume our part .of the debt.it
•would make the per capita debt
about 35 cents for the common-
wealth, and still there are news-
papers that use columns of space
in telling what an awful calamity
that would be.—Muldrow Press.
We are practically a stranger
in the territory but from the sur-
roundings. the actions of con-
gress in failing to ratify the
treaty it is evideut that if the
people of the territory want a
change they had better concede
to single statehood with Oklaho-
ma. When statehood is gained
this part of the territory will
want some public improvements
and we will have the aid of Okla-
homa to build them. The burden
does not fall so heavy,on a larjre
scope of country as it would on a
small territory; for one reason
there would not be two state
governments to maintain, which
is no small item. — Collinsville
