The present administration
will turn the affairs of the city
over to the new in good condition.
There has been some criticism
luring the past months about
this or that official, and some
seemed sincere in their griev
ances, but as a whole they have
acomplislied as much as any body
of men could. Ther took up the
reins of government last July
with a depleted treasury and

fairs of the city »m a compara
tivelv cash basis.

For Svperihtendeiit..
The Journal is pleased to an-
nounce the;name of Prof. W.
E. Gill, of tin* Pair view school
at Hominy, as a candidate for
the office of ttuberintendent of
Public Instruction. Prof, (fill
is perhaps the most thorough
school man in Osage county.
School work has been his life
work and his success in this line
since coining to this country as
well as the testimonial published
below say how well he has ac-
complished that work. * His
earlier life was spent in Tennes-
see, where his neighbors and
friends all unite in the following
testimonial.
Savannah, Tenn. July 1H, ‘04.
“We, the undersigned citizens
of Savannah, Tenm, take pleas-
ure in endorsing Prof. Walter
E. (fill, our fellow citizen, as a
young man of great force of
character, a high toned, Christ-
ian gentleman of energy and en-
thusiasm. The greater part of
his life has been spent in educa-
tional work, and through his ef-
forts us County Superintendent
of Public Inst ruction, the educa-
tional interests of our county
have been raised to a higher
plane than ever before.
His life among us has been in
every way commendable, and
warrants us in the belief that
he would he true to his obliga -
tions in public as he has always
been in private."
Prof. Gill served his people
one term in the state senate in
Tennessee, having been sent
there to advance the cause of
education. Since locating here
he has been active in the cause
of democracy and everything
else tending to the good of the
people. As said before the Jour-
nal is pleased to see such a man
as Prof. Gill at the head of our
public school system and were
it not for the fact that many of
our citizens had hoped to secure
his services as superintendent of
our city schools next year his
announcement would be herald-
ed with still greater delight.
TWO GREAT CONFLAGRATIONS.
Our New Mayor.
Dr. R, L. Hall, the newly
elected mayor of this city, when
seen by the Journal said, “The
result is as I expected. 1 have
been confident all the time that
the democratic ticket would he
elected. You can say for me
that my one great object will he
to advance every interest of this
city. I feel and know that I
will lie heartily supported by the
new council in every effort to
upbuild Pawhuska and Pawhus
ka's interests. I am extremely
grateful to my friends who so
earnestly worked for the success
of the ticket. In this 1 do not
mean only democrats but all
others who so loyally supported
the democratic ticket. Now,
that it is all over we must not
fool away time hut must all
unite to make this the most pro
grossive city in northeastern Ok
lahoma.
A number of staunch republi-
cans refused to longer allow
Isaac Taylor to dictate the poli
ey of the republican party, and
are now wondering if he felt the
jolt,
Eastern Star Meeting.
Pawhuska was visited yestev
day by two great conflagrations.
The first in a nmill km* of y.eais,
ami only by the almost super-
human exertions of willing
hearts and bands two different
sections of the city are left stand-
ing.
The first alarm was sounded
about three o’clock in the after-
noon when it was discovered
that the McLaughlin & Farrar
hay barn and implement house
was one unbroken flame. The
tire soon sptead to the residence
belonging to Mrs. A. Larson,
and occupied hy carpenter
Scrugs and for some time threat-
ened those of T. M. McKinney,
Thos. Leahy, Sr.,J. L. Johnson,
the Baptist church, McKinney’s
planing mills and several other
near by buildings. The house
occupied hy J. L. Johnson was
given up several times but the
persistent efforts of brave men
and hoys finally saved it. A
heavy gale was blowing from
the south west and for fully an
hour the entire eastern portion
of the city was in danger.
The alarm was again heard
about nine thirty just as people
were preparing to retire for the
night. This time the call was
from the opposite side of town,
and the Lamberson boarding
house on Main street was the
victim of the demon’s appetite.
Hundreds of people were soon
upon the ground and the dire
dread that all that part of the
city including the Leland hotel
and Livery barn, the Breeding
residence, the VYTatkin’s hoard-
ing house, McLaughlin & Far-
rar’s implement house, the pool
hall, the Midland hotel, the
Monk drug store and that en-
tire block, the Loonier residence,
McLaughlin & Farrar’s Mam-
moth establishment and Lumber
yard, the Journal building,
Hare’s livery and feed yard and
Duncan’s lumber yard was
doomed prompted men to work,
as never men worked before and
the loss of only the one hbuse is
strangely miraculous.
Thousands of dollars went up
in smoke and only the well di-
rected efforts of men and boys,
without any equipment save a
chemical engine saved hundreds
of thousands more. Pawhuska
owes these brave fire fighters a
debt of gratitude she will never
be able to pay for for the homes
and property saved yesterday by
their valient efforts.

Decision Reversed.
The commissioner of Indian
affairs has reversed the decision
of allotting commission in the
case of Mary Agnes vs. Stella
Mosier, holding that the three
months given the adult members
of the tribe in which to file no-
tice of their first selection did
not expire until midnight Sept.
28, 1900. .
This was a case where both
parties had cultivated land on
the 40 acres in contest, and the
most important point decided
was to the effect that the
amount of land placed in culti-
vation by the respective parties
should govern, rather then pri-
ority as to time of making such
improvements.
Stockslager, Heard & White
represented the appellant.
The loan companies have
much to do with the develop-
ment of new towns and theirad-
vancement. A number of com-
panies have loaned more or less
in Pawhuska, but the Midland
Savings and Loan Co., of Den-
ver, Colo., have probably helped
to build more homes than all
others combined. They loaned
during the year 1906, nearly
#250,000, a large portion of
which was in Oklahoma. Paw-
huska coming in for her share.
They have helped to build twen-
ty-two homes in this city since
opening business here last June.
The company have resources ag-
gregating $500,000 00 ^s shown
by their January statement.
Twenty-two houses in less than
nine months in a town of this
size is a pretty good showing.

City Has Title
A deed for the council house
property was placed on record in
the register of deeds office this
week. T he consideration named
was $12,005.00 this being the
purchase price of the same as
hid hy the city during the lot
sale last January. This city by
this transaction becomes the
owner of the best, piece of prop
erty on the townsite. The pres-
ent building will answer all
needs of the city for years and
with but little addition will fur-
nish adequate room for all coun-
ty purposes until the county be
comes able to erect a building of
its own. The city was extreme
ly fortunate in securing this
property when it did. A num-
ber of citizens secured the mon-

The new school board will or-
ganize at the first meeting in
May. They will then take up
the question of building and
push it with all vigor. It is their
desire to have the building com-
pleted and ready for occupancy
by the'opening of the next school
year. The board will probably
select a central location and
build one good house large
enough for present use and pre-
pare to build ward houses as the
population increases and de-
mands them.
