Great is Oklahoma.
In 1799. as shown by the cen-
sus of 1900 the number of acres
cultivated in cereals in Oklaho-
ma, gave her a rank relatively to
the state -, of 24th,— twenty-oue
states falling below her, says the
Enid Wave. In wheat produc-
tion, she was loth; in cotton 10t.h;
in oats, 13th; in corn, 17th; thus
showing that her rank at that
time, in the production of the
leading crops, was above an
average of the states. But since
then her cultivated acres have
increased about 50 per cent.
Besides the general reduction to
cultivation of new laiuls through
out the Territory, three new
counties have been added and
settled, and five others, then,
chiefly occupied as cattle pas
lures, have been largely occu-
pied and improved by home-
stead settlers. So that at this
time, in cultivated acres, and
general agricultural productions,
Oklahoma is not lower than l.i in

We visited Lawton, which was

Great Preparation for the Fair at
Kingfisher, O. T.
Kingfisher will hold its second
annual fair September 21 to 25.
As the date draws near every-
body is oil nil Lip toe with
alley on account of tin
special features secured
management.
Among the prominent features
of the exhibition will be the
Ostrich race with a 2-10 trotting
horse, and two High Hiving
Horses. These horses dive from
the top of a 50 foot platform into
a 10 foot pool of water. This
attraction alone is worth double
the price of admission for the
whole affair.
Another free attraction which
will be given each day with
change of program, will be a

There is more hot air than
there is reality in a Flynn-Mc-
Guire fight in Oklahoma. Neith-
er of them want to bring on a
tight. Both of them' know that
it means party destruction.
Neither of them can afford such
a fight. It would be detrimen-
tal to party and detrimental to
individual. Those who want the
tight and are trying to bring it
on are doing wrong. Both of
the men are strong with the peo
pie and both of them have been
honored by their party. Both

The Republican party of Okla-
homa went 011 record at the Enid
convention for the kind ol state
hood included in the Flynn bill.
That bill provided for Oklahoma
now, with provisions that the
Indian Territory should be ad-
ded from tune to time as condi-
tions will permit. Upon that
platform and with such intei
pretation of, the Republicans
made their campaign last fall.
C pi hi that platform the people
elected Hird McGuire to Con-

Republicans of Oklahoma are in
duty bound to stand today. In

Line.
The association is a member
of the Kansas Oklahoma Racing
Circuit, and also of the Ameri-
can Trotting Association.
The purses and stakes for the
races aggregate over $7,000
which will insure the best races
ever held in the Southwest.
The premiums for live stock
ind agricultural products are
the same as ottered last year.
Kingfisher has the finest Rac-
ing Park in Oklahoma. It is
located 011 "Uncle John's Creek"
in the city limits and within four
blocks of the Court House.
The association has expended
large sums of money in building
exhibition halls, stables, offices
and track.
A great success is predicted
for the meeting this year.
A Matter of Imprtanoe
It is a matter of general im-
portance to the counties of Okla-
homa that a proper showing of
their natural resources be made
at the St. Louis World's Fair
■xt year, as it is to the develop-
ment of these resources that the
territory must look for future
rowth and expansion, and a
showing of them at the fair will
be the means of attracting capi-
tal for their development.
These natural resources in-
clude all kinds of minerals, coal,
building stone, cements, gypsum
(•lay, shale, slate, sand, salt and
etc. Persons who know of de-
posits of any of these or who are
working or developing them,
should correspond with the sec-
retary of the commission, Fred
L. Wenner, Kingfisher, so that
their county may receive the
benefit of the exhibit. It is de-
sired ti 1 make this a most im-
portant part of the Oklahoma ex-
hibit, and the commission de-
sire the cooperation of every
citizen in making it so.
Fine Fruit.
.1. W. MeClellan placed a fruit
exhibit in the postoftice building
Saturday which certainly was
luxury to behold. It consists of I
apples, pears, peaches, plums
and quince and is some of the
finest in the country. All this
fruit was grown upon his farmj
three and one half miles north-
east of town, Mr. MeClellan
one of Kingfisher county s most
successful fruit raisers and,
year, has produced a large
amount of it. - Kiel Press,
