THE OPENING OF SCHOOL
L >
Oklahoma City, Okla.—Friction was
keen between Oovernor Haskell, the
state capitol commission and more
than 100 members of (he Oklahoma
City Heal Estate Exchange at a meet-
ing held here for the purpose of plac-
ing valuation upon Iho capitol site
lota and formulating plana to sell the
tracts.
It was the unanimous opinion of the
real estate men present that the aver-
age price of about $10 per front foot,
indicated by the commission nnd tho
governor, whs away below what even
the ordinary addition properly in ok
lahomH City brings.
It was said the capitol city addition
is one of the most beautiful sites and
attractive from every standpoint, and
the real estate men present unani-
mously urged tho commission and the
governor to place higher values on the
lots, and. after conference on the ques-
tion, the commission and the governor
were Immovable nnd declared I heir
purpose to limit the price of the lots
to practically the amount of money re-
quired for the building, deeming it a
privilege of every citizen of the state
who cares to do no to secure n lot at
actual cost even though thnt pTice he
much lower than the ordinary lot
values.
The rapid progress that the state
capitol commission has made in state
capitol matters amazed as well as grat-
ified all the visitors who had been In-
vited to be present and inspect tho
work of the commission and offer sug-
gestions for consideration by the com-
mission.
Because of the permanent value,
high altitude, splendid pure water, two
railway systems, with a timely sched-
ule, exclusive society, educational fea-
tures, and many other advantages, sev-
eral real estate men said the state cap-
itol addition would be the ntoat fash-
ionable resident oectlon in the Btnte
; and for the commission to receive the
1 real value of the property It should be
placed upon a high valuation. Restric-
tions should be made on certain boule-
vards, avenues and streets, permitting
only high priced residences.
The cupitol commission, Governor
Haskell, or members of the Statehouse
Development Company, Including !. M.
Puttinm, hud no Idea that the state cap-
itol site would bring such a price as
the Oklahoma City real estate men
placed upon it.
Opinions varied greatly cn how the
lots should be sold. Rome of the real
ostate men held that ten per cent
Bhould be paid down, and the remain-
der on six, twelve and eighteen months
time, while others said twenty per cent
Bhould be paid down and the remain-
der on time. The commission has not
yet expressed an opinion on the mat-
ter.
Excursions will be run on every rail-
road In the stale to the lot sale, it Is

tion of attending the national good

ant Secretary Qreenman of the cham-
ber of commerce has heard from many
of the governors and they will all ap-
point delegates to the convention. The
governor of Michigan hus apolntod
119 delegates and out of that number
it Is expected that at least half will

It appears now that the good roads

ernors, hut that there will be ninny
other delegates is aluu a certainty.
October 5 was deckled upon as the
big day of the good roads convention.
It will be farmers’ day and the farm-
ers of Oklahoma will be especially in-
vited to be present at that time. It
is also farmers’ and breeders’ day at
the state fair and this insures a big
attendance.
The business meetings of tho good
roads convention will bo held in the
forenoons at the fair grounds. On the
day the farmers attend the meeting
there will be the best speakers at the
convention In the livestock pnvllion,
where the meetings will be held. One

nified their intention of attending the
•convention are \V. It. Stubbs of Kan-
sas, B. F. Carroll of Iowa, and A. C.

COUNTY SEAT MOVED IN NIGHT
Officials Move County Records From
Mountain Park to Snyder
Snyder, Okla.—Declaring that tlm
temporary quarters provided for theta
were insufficient und unsuitable, at
Mountain Park, the temporary county
seat of Swanson county, the newly
elected county officials, with the as-
s-ictance of citizens, gathered up all
the county property, loaded it into
drays and hacks and moved it Mon-
day night to Snyder.
Mountain Park won the temporary
county seat by lottery, so designated
by Governor Haskell about three
weeks ago. The citizens of Snyder
wanted the county seat, and an elec-
tion Is soon to be held deciding where
tlie permanent, county seat shall be
located.
Citizens of Snyder claim that be-
cause Mountain Park lias no water
works system or fire protection and
provided no residences for the county
officials, that under the law and ac-
cording to Governor Haskell’s procla-
mation, which provided that suitable
quarters should be provided for the
officials, that they had a right to move
the county seat from Mountain Park
to Snyder.
Mountain Park Is a small place and
the night watch being detained on
other business the citizens were not
aware that they were losing the coun-
ty seat while they slept. Very few
Snyder citizens knew that the change
was to be made.

che county, hid behind a log and was

REMISSION
IN NOVEMBER
>EOPLE TO VOTE ON TWO CONSTI-
TUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
'•A HARD FIGHT PREDICTED
j _
' Governor Issues Call for Election on
Amendment to Oo Away With
Prohibition in Oklahoma—
Woman Suffrage Also Up
Oklahoma City. Okla.—Governor
Haskell last Saturday Issued a procla-
mation calling an election on the pro-
posed constitutional amendment to do
away with prohibition in Oklahoma
and substitute local option and high
license therefor.
Another proclamation was also is-
sued calling an election on the amend-
ment to strike out the word ’’male."
and give the women of ihe state the
right to vote.
The governor made no comment up-
on the matter of woman suffrage, but
issued a lengthy statement regarding
the local option matter, in which he
goes into Ihe history of the movement
and makes various comments
The date of the elections is Novem-
ber 8. Ihe same date as that upon
which the regular state election will
be held.
Saturday morning tho Rev. George
D. Conger, superintendent of Ihe Okla-
homa Anti-Saloon League, and a num-
ber of ministers and other prohibition
workers were cloBeted with Hie gover-
nor in an effort to persuade him not to
issue the call.
Attorneys for the Anti-Saloon League
as well as for the anti-prohibitionists,
have appeared before the governor to
argue their respective sides of the
question, and both tiled briefs with
him.
The governor's action comes only af-
tei long months of litigation and effort
by both sides, including the getting up
of a large initiative petition by the
anti prohibition forces.
Both sides are prepared to make a
strong campaign on the question, and
so near is the election that neither will
lose any tune in firing the opening
guns
The woman suffragists were busy all
through the summer of 1909 securing
signatures to their petitions. State
Senator R. M Roddie and a few others
opposed the petitions on the ground
that they were insufficient, but the wo-
men won out in a hearing before the
late Bill Cross, secretary of state, and
their petition was filed
Like the anti-prohibitionists, they |
were disappointed in their hope that a
special election would be called to set-
tle the matter
The women ate thoroughly organized
and highly optimistic over their chance
of success. For months they have had
a force of stenographers and others at
work in their headquarters and every
day the leaders declare they "simply
i.mnot lose ” They declare the farm-
er. socialist and labor vote will be for
t hem to a man.
On the oilier hand, the anti-suffrag-
ists seem to have no well founded or-
ganization. but it is asserted the heavy !
foreign vote iu the state is practically
unanimous against the suffrage move-
ment. Just who will head the "anti”
movement is not known.
FARMERS AND BREEDERS TO
TALK COOP ROADS AT FAIR
(governors of States, Congressmen an J Active Work-
ers Will Address National Convention.
-•’armers and Breeders Day, Octo
her a, at the Slate Fair promises to he
one of the must instructive to the agri-
cultural interests of Oklahoma, since
the program will be full of things of
vital interest to that class. Of spec-
ial ini|<ortuncc will be the addresses of
B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the execu-
tive board of the Rock lrland-h rirco
system, und C. S. Barrett of Union City,
Georgia, president of the Naticnal
Farmers' Union, who will speak be-
fore the morning session of the Na-
tional Good Roads Convention on the
second day of-its three day meeting
at the Btate i'air. Here are the dates
to remember:
Farmers and Breeders Day, Oct. 5.
Oklahoma Improved Stock Breeders
Convention. Oct. f.
National Good Roads Convention,
Oct. 4, 5 and 6.
State Fair Dates, Sept. 27 to Oct. 9.
Farmers and all good roads enthus-
iasts should make a special effort to
visit the fair on Farmers and Breeders
Day, as good roads movements of vital
importance to the state will be started.
Delegates will come front nearly every
state in the Union, and the day prom-
ises to be the largest in point of at-
tendance at the State Fair. The gov-
ernor of Michigan lias named 192 dele-
gates.
The big meeting of October 5 will
he held in the new $40,000 livestock pa-
vilion, with u seating capacity of 4,000
people, where the speakers can be
sure of being heard. Arthur C. Jack*
son, Chicago, president of the na-
tional association, will preside at all
meetings opening October 4 and clos-
ing October «.
The national convention was held
last year at Topeka, Kan., and the
tendency for the last few years has
been to hold the annual meetings in
live cities or the west where good
roads agitation is needed the most.
Good roads boosting has become a
live subject with the people of Okla-
homa und enthusiasts are expected to
take advantage of what experts are
saying on the subject.
There will be much to see at the fait
that is worth while. Entries in
all departments are such at this date
that the biggest fair in the history ol
the state can be forecasted with cer-
tainty. The Night Horse Show in the
new livestock pavilion from October 3
x) 7 will be a winner, a large number
if fancy horses having been entered
in both light and heavy classes. Vau-
deville features and band concerts will
fill in the waits between horse ex-
hibits. For particulars write I. S. Ma-
han, secretary, Oklahoma City.

Henry, Met Death
With a Jest
“ ‘Now,’ said tho doctor. ‘1 am going
to show you Hie effect of alcohol upon
your circulation.’ I think it was ’cir-
culation' he said; it may have been
'advertising.' ” This is one of Ihe
opening paragraphs in Ihe very last
story that O. Henry wrote. He com-
pleted it only u few days before his
death and he got ihe material from
Ills experiences in seeking relief from
the’ very illneas that was fatal to him.
Like the very last line of one of his
j deep, whimsical stories, were the last
i conscious words lie said. It was dark
I on Sunday morning, and he knew that
| fie was going. "Turn on the lights, doc
I tor,’’ he said, and smiled. "I'm afraid
] to go home in the dark.”
The last volume of stories from hit
pen were gone over by him not a
month before ills death. They will tit
published next fall under the title ol
"Whirligigs.” In less than ten yeart
ibis man became unquestionably the
most popular and, according to known
critics, the besl short-story writer in
America. He left behind him ten vol-
umes, a permanent contribution to the
native literature of this country.
