LEGISLATURE EilTEilS
UPOiJ THE ISOiI STRETC
And Vast Amount of Business is Pushed
Through-Public Buildings Bills Crowd
to the Front
Guthrie May IS. The week just
closed marked the beginning of the
' end of the present legislative session
and was signalized by a large amount
of business rushed through both hous-
es. The senate has been particularly
active In this line sometimes putting
through as many as 20 bills in one
clay.
The public buildings question made
its first active appearance last week in
spite of the decision of the democratic
caucuses to suppress it. The senate
has been more eager than the house to
decide the locations of the institutions
having decided to estallish peniten-
tiaries at MeAtester and Granite the
oast side asylum at Hugo and the or-
phan's home at I'ryor Creek and the
school of mines at Wllburton besides
agreeing to the house bill locating a
state prlntery at Enid. That bill has
now been withdraw from the governor
however and it seems likely that thd
location features will be cut out.
The- state senate turned down the
public buildings committee recommen-
dation for new normal schools locating
them tt Tahlaquah Ada nnd Durant
and the house seems likely to turn
down all the senate's building loca
tions except the Whittaker orphan's
home which has already been agreed
to.
The state schools already in exist-
ence have also come prominently into
the limelight through the paaasge of

A Pioneer Recalls Early
Days in Chickasha
The Electric Planing mill Installed
a fifty-five horse power boiler yester-
dav. In nlace of the one taken out
two weeks ago increalng their power
over fifty per cent. The new whis
tle will blow for the first time tomor-
row. The mill was burned down a year
ago this month but was quickly built
up again and lias been gradually in-
creasing its capacity ever since. Eight
men are now employed and Manager
S. J. Lea says he expects to take on
twentyftve within the next few months.
The Electric Planing mill Is a lead
er among Chlckasha's growing indus-
tries and Is one of the best planing
mills in the state.
"When I landed In Chickasha in
April lS'Ji .here was but one house
in the town at 10 by 16 portable af-
fair and in it were the tow"nsite office
a bank and a millinery store" said A.
B. Snow who arrived in the city yes-
terday for a visit.
Continuing Mr. snow said: "The
railroad had pust been built into Chick
asha and your sheriff Mart Louthan
as the first agent. The little build
ing I speak of was located near the
present site of the Chickasha Milling
company. The bank was the original
of the present Citizens National and
I think the milliner was Miss Nellie
Doyle. I started the first lumber yard
here and the first lumber I sold was
to make a coflin for a bad man called
'Red' who was killed here. Among the
very early pioneers that I recall are
E. S. Burney Theo. Fiizpatrlck Dr.
Johnson the Misses Brown and J. Des-
combes who was the first postmaster.
"What changes have taken place in
these 16 years! I swam a horse
across the street at the bank corners
on one occasion. Since- I left here
four years ago the town has made
wonderful strides. The greatest thing
of all is your paving and next conies
your sidewalks. Strangers judge a
town by these things more than any-
thing else."
Mr. Snow is now located in Long
Beach Calif. where he is manager
of one of the largest lumber yards and
is a director of the City National bank.
He also has the management of the
lumber yards at Pomona Clearwater
and Fullerton and has been highly
successful.

MAY LOCATE
MORTALS
INDICATIONS THAT HOUSE WILL
CHANCE ITS KIND-ALL ON
EAST SIDE
Guthrie May IS As the result of a
caucus it is practically certain that
the policy of the house will be reversed
with respect to the establishment of
institutions and that three east side
normals will be created aid located at
this session with appropriations of
$20000 each. The location however
may be left with the board of regents
and this would be in accordance with a
bill by senator Memmlnger now pend
ing in the senate. The sixty thousand
dollars appropriated for these three
schools will take the place of a similar
amount proposed for the holding of
summer normals on th' east side.
It is thought that it will be practi-
cally impossible to allow apropria-
lions for new buildings for the normals
now established and at the same time
do nothing for the east side. Some
sort of compromise is almost certain.

Great GroiOd Hears
Annnal Sermon
With every seat in the large audi
torium and large Sunday school room
occupied the Rev. J. H. O. Smith pas
tor of the Christian church at Okla-
homa City delivered the annual ser
mon to the graduating class of the
high school at the Methodist church
last evening. The Interest of the com
munity in this important- occasion
was shown by the presence of hun-
dreds of students aud the people of
the city generally.
Dr Smith chose for his theme
"Ideals" and his address was a mas-
terpiece of learning and eloquence as
well as a message of vistal practical
truths. Drawing upon a wide range
of literature aud history for illustra-
tions he pointed out the matchless
opportunities and the superior advan
tages of America and the present age
over all other natious and times as
an incentive to the young people ot
this generation to strive for the real-
laztion of the highest ideals of man-
hood and womanhood. It was a great
sermon full of fine thought finely ex-
pressed leaving a profound impres-
sion upon the minds and hearts ot
young and old.
Following the opening musical sel
ections Rev. W. G. Lang offered the
invocation and Re. M. L. Butelr pro-
nounced the benediction at the close.
.Music appropriate to the occasion was
furnished by an excellent orchestra
and solos were contributed by Mr.
Hull and Mr. Fred Caro. The church
was beautifully decorated for the occasion.
