II
IS ALMOST READY
IN MATTERS OF ARCHITECTURE
MEN WHO KNOW ARE MUCH
PLEASED WITH IT.
II IS m FIST IN THE
Equipment Will Arrive in a Few Days
and Will Be Installed—Inter-
esting Shop Notes.
What is claimed by many whose
opinions are worth while in matters
of architecture and building construc
tion, is the finest passenger station
of its kind and for its cost in the
country, is the new passenger station
of tho Rock Island here in Shawnee,
which is now practically completed
After several months of work the
building is now ready for use with the
exception of the equipment which is
expected to arrive within a few days.
When this has been unloaded and put
in place and the lights have been
hung, the new offices will be put into
use, the waiting rooms will be thrown
open, the old station will be demol-
ished and the new one will have been
formally opened.
Already the track layers are putting
down the track which is to be used
by passenger trains when the new sta-
tion is thrown open and from both
sides of the old depot tracks have
been laid so that all that is needed is
to remove the old weather beaten
structure, throw in some filling and
connect the tracks. When this is
done passengers can take the train
from the new station along side which
the long promenade is now practically
completed.
It Is ex pert rthat another week
will find everything in shape for the
opening.

A force of men have been at work
for the past ten days making the ex-
cavations for the new concrete pump-
ing station which will be erected by
the Rock Island company, on its prop-
erty near the North Canadian river!
rhe work has been done under dlffl-
culteis owing to the nature of the
soil, which caused cave-ins and other-
wise retarded the work. The excava-
tion work is now completed and the
concrete base and the building proper
will be of reinforced concrete. Its di-

Hf raa lnt0 a large party of lions
killed two, and wounded a lioness
which escaped after making one ol
his gun bearers. The gun bearei
rode into camp, and the Doctor treat
ed his wounds. Next day Mearns
was summoned to a Masai kraal
sixteen miles off to treat the wounds
of two of the Masai; it appeared that
a body of them had followed an3
killed the wounded lioness, but that
two of their number had been much
maltreated in the fight. One, es-
pecially, had been fearfully bitten,
the lioness having pulled the flesh
Icose from fhe bones with her fixed
teeth. The Doctor attended to all
three cases. The gun bearer recov-
ered; both the Masai died, although
the Doctor did all in ills power for
the two gallant fellows. Their
deaths did not hinder the Masai
from sending to him all kinds ol
cases in which men or boys had
met with accidents. He attended tc
them all, and gained a high reputa-
tion with the tribe; when the case
was serious the patient's kinsfolk
would usually present him with n
sheep or war-spear, or something
else of value. He took a great
fancy to the Masai, as indeed all of
us did. They are a fine, manly set
of savages, bold and Independent in
their bearing. They never eat vege
tables, subsisting exclusively on
milk, blood, and flesh; and are re-
markably hardy and enduring—

Although no date has been set for
the Chautauqua assembly which is to
be held in Shawnee this summer, a
list of the speakers has been made
public and some of the entertain-
ments which will be provided during
the session can also oe published.
The very best of talent has been
secured for tins assembly and the list
of speakers includes some well-known
men. Among these are I. M. Hoi-
comb of Oklahoma City, Governor H.
A. Buchtel of Colorado and others.
Mr. Holcomb was at one time a well
known banker In Oklahoma City, but
his success as a platform lecturer, led
him to give up the banking business
for the lecture platform. Although
his entrance into the field is compara-
tively recent, Mr. Holcomb has al-
ready established a reputation for him-
self as an orator and his lectures will
be well worth hearing.
Governor Butchel is known as "the
preacher governor" of Colorado. In
addition to the reputation which he
has made as governor of that state, he
Is one of Chautauqua's most enthus-
iastic workers and these two facts
alone will add interest to his ad-
dresses.
Among the attractions which will
be provided are the Columbian or-
chestra, the Sctulz-Leigh Concert
Company, the DeKoven Male Quar-
tette, the Oterbeln Male Quartette and
bell ringers, aud the Morphets, magi-
clans well known in their line.
Thatcher's Royal Hungarian Or-
chestra will also furnish music dur-
ing the ac'eir.bly.
Enough other attractions are pro-
vided to make the assembly enjoy-
able from beginning to end and It is
expectod that the attendance will be
even larger than those who are Instru-
mental in bringing it here had antici-
pated
Since the knowledge that Shawnee
it- to have another hotel became pub-
lic. fully four sites have developd.
oach with its quota of hackers. And
with each of these projects come
arguments which are sound, for eaeli
of them.
However, since the service nd nol
the slto of a hotei is tne fundamen-
tal of its success, the question ot
site is not vital, as many seem to
believe. Were this the case It is
doubtless that the sito ai once con
venient to the stations and the bus!
ness portion of the city would have
all others handicapped. But since
the principal portion of tho traveling
public, particularly t>-at portion who
are discriminating as to service aim
willing to pay for the best, rifle to
and from stations and since that por-
tion of it wno have need to visit
the business part ot the city, In these
days no longer carry to each store
around the street a dray load or so ol
grips and sample cases, need for a
strictly central location is still less
maintained.
This being true, the proposition of
location resolves itself into one that
will serve best to balance the busi-
ness section of the city and one that
is so situated that the accompanying
property values on adjacent realty
will permit the payment of the most
inviting bonus.
A few days sihee, a hotel man of
experience, wno came here for the
purpose of making to local people a
proposition for the erection of a
hotel, looked over the city for avail-
able sites and all sites so far men-
tioned were carefully weighed by
him. He expressed no choice in
these, other than declaring to those
who were with him that necessarily
the site chosen must be that oni-
whicli would be productive of the
biggest bonus.
The first considered of the3e loea
tions. so considered not because it
was the most logical, but rather from
the fact that such a location had
often before been considered for suc'.i
a project, is on Tenth street, elthe;
on Broadway, Beard or Market street
Those urging that location at the
present time, contend that it is in
the natural line of growth of the
business part of the city and will
hasten such growth.
It is also true that the balance of
the city's rialto would be well main
tained by this location.
Others contend, however, that tho
hotel should be located on East Main
street, at a point as nearly central
between the depots as possible. This
proposition is backed by several
property owners who live in the
northwest part of the city and own
property on East Main. They would
be willing to make an interesting
proposition to the promoters o' the
schemo should it be decided to locate
there.
Again, the promoters of the inter-
urban coming In from the west de-
clare that in order to have their O.
K., the site selected must bo on or
near their line, which would logically
carry it to West Main street and
there are those who believe that!
Ninth street, near Convention Hall, I
Ij the one logical site.
These differences of opinion, which
in many projects are detrimental to
a city, in this event are quite the
opposite, as they constitute a definite
indication that there is much inter-
est in the proposition among sub'
stantial property owners.
As stated before, the specific site
is not vital, tho riain qualification
Well located between South Beard and Park Street., ju.t immediately north of Bluff Street; fine bed
of bnck .hale under entire property; .plendid demand for rental hou.e. in thi. di.trict, being convenient
