Bills Signed
Governor Haskell signed the
anti-bucket shop bill, and the same
went into effect immediately. The
bill aims to absolutely prevent ex-
change speculation in Oklahoma
and many of the provisions are
very stringent in their penalties.
It means that buck shops will)
cease to do business in Oklahoma, j
The governor also signed senate
bill 341, by Williams, authorizing
the building of school houses on
the rental plan, house bill 446,
amending certain actions of the
Oklahoma statutes, and senate bill
245. by Billups, creating the of-
fice of state librarian, etc.
The “Jim Crow" sceool bill,
making separate schools for the
colored and white and Indian
races, known as committee snbsti-

Paving Goes Merrily on
Only about a year ago the pav-
ing proposition was first taken up
by the city council, and a brick
pavement ordered on First street.
This contract was for only two
blocks as an experiment. But.
once a Tulsan gets his grip’on a
good thing, he never lets go. Jt is
equally so of the whole city, and
when paving proved such a good
thing the city council was be-
seiged from all parts or the city by
petitions asking for pavement of
streets. This caused the city dads
to get into action on the matter,
and in a little more than a year
Tulsa has come to the front as the
best and most extensively paved
city of the new state. Two com-
panies, the Cleveland-Trinidad and
Stucky, have been busy with large
forces of laborers paving the busi
ness districts of Tulsa’s twelve
principal streets. The paving
companies are now engaved in ex-
tending the pavements along
these streets. In the east part of
the city. First, Second and Third
streets are being paved out to the
Midland Valley and Santa Fe
tracks. The next streets to be
paved will be South Boston and
South Cincinnati, and North Bos-
ton and North Boulder.
Taking into consideration the
rapid spreading of our city, and the
many new business blocks which
are going up along these streets,
it is only a matter of a short time
until more paving will be necessa-
They Never fail
The Fire Department of Tulsa
is without doubt, one of the most
efficient in the state. They have
their first failue to yet record since
the establishment of the depart-
ment. Friday an alarm was turn-
ed in from South Cincinnati, and
in a few seconds the hose-team
from station No 1. was on the
ground Scarcely had they ar-
rived when hose-team from No. 2,
came rushing to the scene. The
latter was compelled to make a
ten-blocks run from their station,
and how they accomplished it in
such incredible short time is a mis-
tery. Not only are the boys of
the fire department, able to get
away to a fire in a hurry, but they
know just what to do and how to
do it after they get there. They
work on a fire with cool nerve,
never making a false play, and
in nine cases out of ten accom-
plish much more than a hurry and
slam method would.
Convicts to Work Roads
Oklahoma will have at least
some good roads if the bill by Sen-
ator Taylor which passed the sen-
ate last week, becomes a law. It
is senate bill No. 130, and provides
that all convicted under two years
sentence shall be employed on the
public roads of the state. This
applies to all justice of the peace
and county court prisoners, and all
district court prisoners either for
misdemeanor or felony up for less
than two years.
The bill also provides that where
counties have such few prisoners
that it would not pay to work them
on the county roads the said coun-
ty may transfer its prisoners to
another county and by combining
thus lessen the expense of work-
To Pay Intermarried tiliiens
Senator Owen has intioduced a
bill directing the secretary of the
interior to pay the intermarried
white citizens of the Cherokee na-
tion who were placed on the rolls
under the Daniel Red Bird decis-
ion, out of the Cherokee funds, the
shares to which they were entitled
under former payments in which
they did not participate. Where
the secretary is convinced that the
enrollment is improper he may
contest payment.
Owen Will Make Good
Some think Senator Owen is not
doing things at Washington just as
his party in Oklahoma would have
him do them. He insist in run-
ning things his own way and it
looks like he will soon get the re-
sults he desires.
A Washington dispatch says the
other Oklahoma Democrats al
lined up against four battleships.
Owen voted for them. Gore voted
against the Aldrich currency bill
and house members threaten the
same if the opportunity presents.
Owen voted for the bill.
In the fight for the removal of
restrictions, the other members
from Oklahoma wanted to comyro-
mise with the interior department,
and get what they could this ses-
sion. They were willing to go to
the extent even of giving the fed-
eral court absolute jurisdiction
over all the Indians and their prop-
erty.
Owen declared he would not
compromise on the jurisdiction
question and that he wanted more
land taken from the control of the
government than the department
would agree to. Owen kept up
his fight over the protests of the
the other members from his state
United Presbyterian Church
This denomination belongs to 1
the Scotch branch of the Reform-
ed church. It was organized in
1858 by the union of the Associa-
ted Presbyterian and the Associa-
ted Reform Presbyterian churshes
It celebrates the semi-annual of
its organization in the present
month of May in the city of Pitts-
burg, Pa., where the union waf af-
fected, in 1 838.
In the fifty years of its history
the 600 congregations have grown
to 1054; the 408 ministers have
increased to 1.098 and the mem-
bership from 55.547 to 149,764.
The church is conservative in
doctrine, but aggressive in meth-
ods.
It has always taken a strong
stand for all moral reforms and
has been willing to do its part in
the betterment of the community
and the nation,
For sometime the Board has
watched the growth of Tulsa.
Many of the members have located
here, and many more desire to do
so.
In November last, the officials
of the church visited Tulsa and da
cided to begin work as soon as
possible.
A site was purchased at the cor-
ner of Cheyenne and Cameron ave.
and the Superintendent of Mis-
sions for Oklahoma, the present
pastor, was appointed to take
charge of the work. The work
was regularly begun February 16,
in the Fox building on the corner
of Main and North Second, where
meeting have been held ever since
A tent has been put up on the
church lots, and beginning on Sah-
bath. May 10, it is the intention to
hold all services in this place until
the church building is finished.
An appropriation has been made
and a building will be erected this
summer.

Stove factory for Tulsa.
A small boomalet, a 100-men
manufacturing plant, is the direct
result of the trip of the booster
train. The Stirling Stove Manufac-

Tulsa, which has been accepted
and a committee appointed by the

dignity and self-respect of these gen-
tlemen.
