An adjourned meeting of the citl
sens of Perry and vicinity which
had been called for the park Monday
afternoou, was held at the city hall
at 8:30 o'clock that evening at which
the question of wlieather or not Per
ry wanted to become the terminal of
the iuterurbau line now being survey
ed from Arkansas City ,vla. Black
well and Tonkawa to Perry was dis
cussed.
N. O. Brown, oue of thepromotors
of the line was present and elucidat
«d to our people the requirements
necessary for Perry to get this road
He Informed uh that It wan alinos
nil assured fact that the line would
be built from Arkansas City to
Tonkawa, and il wa lhe dei>lre
the company to come on down to
Perry if our citizen* believed lliey
wanted the road had enough to buy
a certain amount of stock in the con
cern. He said that arrangement®
had already been consumated where
by the road was to be financed by
eastern ca, itallsts and that coil
structlon rk would benin on the
line between Arkansas City and
Blackwell at an early date.
A number of our business men
present, among them Messrs Wood
ruff, Cronln, Burke, Tullis, Kry and
Htlne, made optimistic talks bb to
the need of this road the vast
amount of good It would do the to
of Perry and the great advantage it
would be to the farming community
along Its proposed route, lliat it
would open up a rich trade territory
to the north and northwest of this
place that has heretofore been Inac
cessible to Perry for the reason that
thore was fio wav of getting Into the
county seat except by an all day's
drive, or by the way of other towns
over the railroads.
Mr. Brown presented the many ad
vantages Perry qonld expect if It
should secure tills line that ll has
not enjoyed heretofore. 1 he selling
of slock in the company to our peo
pie Instead of asking for a straight
out bonus is a new feature of rail
road building, and should be thor
oughly digested bv our people be
fore they make up their mind not to
assist Perry to secure this much
needed line to the north part of our
county.
Chairman Knox appointed a com
mittee of three, consisting of W. E

Hoke Smith and Senator Gore of
Oklahoma, talked with President
Wilson today about the apposi-
tion of southern senators to the
con ft i illation of A. E. Patterson,
an Oklahoma negro nominated
for registrar of the treasury.
Neither senator cared to dlscusB
the conference, but it was said
no ettort would be made to press
the confirmation of Patterson and
that the withdrawal of his name
would not be surprising.
Senator Gore did say, however,
that he had originally picked an
Oklahoma Indian for the place.
He said Patterson had been high
