GOOD WORDS FOR CHANDLhk.
What l;. H. Greer had to Say ofthc Lin-
coln County Capital.
Guthrie State Capital: Chandler
is located on the main line o< the S*.
Louis and San Francisco railroad
from St. Louis to Oklahoma City,
47 miles from the latter. Was es-
tablished in 1891 with the opening
of the Iowa, Sac and Fox country by
the gov-rnmcnt as the county seat of
Lincoln county. Has a population
upwards of five thousand and is sur-
rounded by an excellent agricultural
community, being far enough east to
be in the belt of country where it is
always seasonable. Unlike many
other towns in Oklahoma she does
not have to depend on one crop alone
for a livelihood but is blessed with a
quality of soil and proper seasons
necessary to the production of vari-
ous kinds of crops, also vegetables
and fruits do exceedingly well thus
making the business season with
Chandler the year around.
The first to mature is the wheat
crop which is marketed from July 10
to September, immediately after
which cotton picking begins, which
lasts until about January first. Com
fat hogs and beef cattle keeps up a
livelihood until another wheat crop
is ready for market.
The grade of the Choctaw, Okla-
homa and Gulf railroad is almost
completed through here from a point
on the main line at Haileyville, I. T.
to Guthrie, Enid and northwestern
points and it is almost an assured
fact that a spur from the eastern
Oklahoma branch of the A. T. & S.
F. will build in, giving Chandler
three railroads. Notwithstanding
the fact of her railroad enterprise
she has several other enterprises
that are not to be smiled at, even by
some of the larger cities. She has
undoubtedly the best brick dirt of
anywhere in Oklahoma and two of
the largest press brick plants from
which large quantities of brick are
shipped to all parts of the territory ;
an oil mill, capacity of sixty tons
per day. The oil meal and hulls
from this plant annually feed in the
neighborhood of five thousand head
of cattle, some of which were exports
to Liverpool, England.
There are cotton gins, flouring
mills and numerous other enterprises.
There are retail dealers in every
line of business, some of them carry-
ing heavy stocks, while every line of
business is represented. No line is
believed to be overdone. Like all
other cities of Oklahoma, she enjoys
the advantages of an excellent
graded school and municipal govern-
ment.
The people of Chandler are a
shrewd, enterprising class of citizens
and when they see a good thing they
surely lake hold of it. This fact is
demonstrated by the large number
of Daily Slate Capitals going to
Chandler each day.
The city council is considering the
question of putting in a city electric
light plant. The representative of a
supply house met with the council
Monday evening and discussed the
matter with the members. He de-
sires to sell the machinery and sup-
plies for the necessary plant.
W. E. Willoughby is making a The new brick walk in front of the
very fine collection of fruits for ex- Frazier building is completed and
hibit. He will be glad to have any the walk will be continued south in
one who has anything especially fine front of the vacant lots and the Col-

office. Mr. Willoughby has a —
method of preserving fruit in jars
which retains the natural appearance :
quite perfectly.
H. M. Johnson has purchased a
considerable amount of stock in the !
First National bank of Stroud and
will succeed H. S. Emmerson as
president of the bank. This is one of
the best banks in the county and it
has fallen into good hands, for there '
are few better business men than H.
M. Johnson.
J. A. Bener, whose home has been
near Parkland, died in Chandler
Saturday evening and was buried
Sunday at Parkland under the aus-
pices of the Odd Fellows. Mr. Be-
ner was a man of excellent character
and was well liked by all who knew
him. His death is a loss to the
county.
Beginning with the first of July a
change was made in the mail service
between here and Partridge. The
hack now leaves Partridge at 5 :45
in the morning and is due at Chan-
dler at 11 :45. Returning the mail
leaves Chandler for Carney and
Partridge at 12 :45 p. m.
The new rural telephone line from
Chandler to Parnell is nearing com-
pletion. So far as we know, this is
the first rural telephone in Oklahoma
and it will doubtless prove a success.
