road and turn completely over.
All the occupants were more or
less bruised. Mr Forbis sustain-

somewhat damaged and was tak-
en iu to Kingfisher for repairs.

Last Tuesday representatives
of Cashion, Guthrie, Navina,
Geary and Calumet met at Okar-
che in the interest of the Ozark
Trail Short Line running from
Guthrie to Geary. About six-
een cars went from Cashion, and
Cashion people were in evidence
everywhere in Okarche all day
The meeting was called to order
at line o'clock and the election of
a'president and secretary was the
first thing on the program. A. J.
Thompson of Okarche was eiected
as president to succeed Mr. Wood
son of that place wtio was tempo-
rary president appointed about
two weeks ago at Oklahoma City.
Dr G. P. Davidson of Cashion,
was elected as secretary to sue
ceed Henry Borklund who was
appointed temporary secretary at
Oklahoma City.
Mr Wenner of Guthrie, gave
an explanation of the purpose of
the meeting and several other
speakers responded A great deal
of enthusiam was shown by the
people, and a general feeling of
getting the Ozark Trail was in
evidence. Mr. Wenner said that
"hot air" was a good thing to
start the movement, but that be
fore the trail would be marked
thru here the citizens along the
proposed route and tributary to
the route would have to expend a
little cash and elbow grease. He
advised the forming of "five mile
clubs" along the entire route with
a chairman to lead and oversee
the construction.
The requirements of the Ozark
Trail officers regarding the road
are that from ditch to ditch shall
be thirty two feet, that the grade
shall not exceed five percent, that
in laying out the route railroad
surface crossings should be miss
ed as much as much as possible,
and that at the final inspection of
the cometitive routes preference
will be given to the route show
ing the most community interest
in the construction.
A great deal of the proposed
route with which Cashion will
have to deal is rolling prairie and
an engine hitched to a large grad-
ei with an experienced man to
work the machine will place the
road in an acceptable condition.
The soil in this part of the
country will become dry within a
very short while after the heaviest
rains; providing the roadway is
rounded'up so that the water will
run off.
