of building bridges falls upon tbe
townships and not on the county, high
water U very expensive to township*
having several stream* to bridge, and
especially where the streams are as
large as Little Kiver. It seems to us
that some provision should be made so
that the county should assist in build-
ing bridges over the larger streams
for not only the township, but the
county as well, is interested in having
the streams bridged and it is almost
impossible for a township, having
stream as large as Little River, to
keep the bridges in good shape

The full board of the University re-

The visitors from all over Oklahoma

Lodge meeting of the A. O. U. VV., ex-
pressed surprise and wonder at tie
size of Norman and its substantial ap-

size they had seen in Oklahoma and
showed more evidence of business
thrift.

A writer in the Louisville Daily
News gives the girls this sensible
hint. "If there is anything that
makes me tired it is to see a pretty
girl ruin herself with rouge and pow-
der and kalsomine and other truck
I saw one at a summer opera the oth-
er night who made me rage. She was
naturally a pretty girl and she had a
fine figure, but one forgot all about
those things when he came close to
her. The natural tinting of the llesh
was not to be seen, and the tender
curve of the cheek was bedizened
with rough and paint, as were the
pretty lips. I felt like taking that
girl to a lagoon, dipping my hand-
kerchief in the water there and giv-
ing her face a good, old-fashioned
scrubbing. No wonder so many girls
They rub enough
to kill any skin."

A large number of thecitizens fro
the south part of the county were i
town last week as witnesses in th
contest case of Watkins vs. Boston,
The grounds for the contest, as we un-
derstand it, are collusion, wherein
one Johnson tiled on the claim, after-
ward relinquishing to one Jeff Boston,
the contestants claiming that John-
son and Boston having entered into a
collusion to secure the claim. The
depositions of a number of witnesses
were taken before Judge Williams
last week to be used in the trial at
the land office in Oklahoma City
which took place last Wednesday. A.
Hutchin is attorney for the contestee
and lias 110 fears, that but he will suc-
ceed in having the contest dismissed
in the land office.
There was much interest exhibited
at the recital given by Frof. Ross and
his wife at the college chapel last
Thursday evening which was given
to a well tilled house and an appre-
ciative one. The program was a well
selected one for the occasion and not
in the least tiresome. In fact the
interest grew more intense as the
program advanced and when Frof.
Ross closed with the Grieg Sonata,
people seemed loathe to leave their
seats. Mrs. Ross is a charming little
woman who recited with true spirit
and clear enunciation and with such
variety as to please the most fastid-
ious. As a pianist, Frof Ross has
originality, inspiration and strength.
