LOOK OUT FOR US
WE ARE COMING !
A Voter Wants Some Definite
Explanation of Water Works.
Wiiat Are Ws Voting For ?
Believes Wo Should Know What
the System is to lie Before
We Go Ahead and Vote
to Bond the City.
Editor Eti hess:
We are approaching an dectioo
in which the citizens of Chickasha
are to decide whether we will have
bonds or not to (they ea?) put in
water works. It seems to me like
oar city dads are a little prema-
ture to ask for bonds without sub-
mitting seme plan or idea about
what kind of water works we are
to have. This is a business prop-
osition in which we are all inter-
ested or at least we should be.
What would jou think of me or
any other sensible bnsiness man
man if we should come along and
(ttike a proposition to build me a
D0use for a thousand dollare(tslOOO)
and would say "here is your moo-
eJ i ahead" regardless of what
kind of a bouse it waa tobeT Now
for us to vote bonds to pat in wa-
ter works without any plan or any
figures upon the subject is just as
absurd as it would be to let a man
bnild a house as I (-luted above.
Now I am in favr of water works
and we need them. I am also in
favor if bonds to baild tbem; bat
let oar city dads submit some plan
and show who will be benefited al-
so what kind of a water works sys
tern they they propose; and if they
don't know I think they had bet-
ter find out and let voters know; if
tbey wish to be open and clear
ibout tho matter. I think we
should know these things before
we vote for the bonds and I think
every honest voter should demand
this thoroughly explained; and if
not aa he thinks to the best inter-
est of Chickasha vote against them.
I do not believe in going into it
blindly . We ought to know what
we are doing when we are masing
debts for our children to pay.
Hoping this will open the way
for a thorough discussion of this
matter and that our city dads will
tell us all that they know about
water works and that we are pre-
pared to thoroughly explain for I
think we should know what we are
voting for whea we vote.

RAILROAD NOTES.
What is Going on Among the
Rock Island Employes
In Chickasha.
The new Frisco station presents
a handsome appearance to all who
transact business with ber.
Work in the local machine shops
is so heavy that engines have to be
sent to other places for necoeesary
repairs.
There have been no accidents
in the Rock Island yards for so
long that the people are beginning
to marvel.
Work on the new Rock Island
passenger station is anxiously
looked for and boned for by both
our people and our machanics.
V'm Rutler a north end con
ductor and F. 8. Anderson a
brakeman went to Pauls Valley to
day on a fishing and hunting trip.
Passenger trallie on both Rock
Island and Frisco roads has fallen
off very much of Iato and will
probably continue the same until
the fall trallie sets in.
W. C. PoDe. a well known
brakeman on tho Caldwell branch
has reported again for duty after a
ten day lay off spent in visiting his
family in Kansas City.
Mr. Graetf a fireman on the
Caldwell division is iust recover
ing from a ten day's spell of fever
ai me Kimball house. lie ex-
pects to resume bis run in a few
days.
II. J. Whitcomb of Topeka
claim agent of the Hock Island
railroad is in the city today look
ing after several claimants who
have grievances against the road
for various causes.
E. E. Rankin of Rufh Springs
formerly landlord of the old I.n
land hotel here has accepted a pos
ition with the Rock Island railroad
iu the machine shops. Ten years
ago the Leland waa a landmark
here.
The railroad boys who board at
the Globe restaurant have formed
a little club among themselves and
meet there every evening. id.
pine jokes and tellinz harrowing
stories ofhair bredth escanes from
death. It is a most popular club.
The local water buddIv of the
Rock Island railroad is run nine
very low. The Rock Island has
occasionally been supplying local
outsiue interests but of late all
this has been cut off on account of
the scarcity ot that very neceearv
commodity.
A force of carpenters was m
town this morning aud took break-
tast at Jack's rjlace. Ihev were
on their way to Alex to bnild a
section house at that place. After
nnishing their work there they
will continue on along the line
building various structures for the
company wherever directed.
Eve Miller a railroad employe
who lived here 10 years aeo and
boarded with Mr. Hatsell at that
time of the Lcland hotel but now
oi the Globe restaurant. came bank
like the cat yesterday and secured
a position with the Rock Island
machine shops. IDs old friends
will be glad to welcome him back.
The railroad bovs of Chickasba
are talking of orranuinff aclnb of
some kind here und of fitting up a
room where they can speud their
evenings and c"ays off in reading
writing smokinir talkintr. iiivini
cards and other quiet amusements.
At present thrre s po plareef that
kind hure. and the boys feel the
need of it. It is a cood idea and
the Express hopes it will be push
ea uiong
