tied at the entrance of the cave
and all strung out one behind the
other, thirty-four in <^1, slowly
crawling into the entrance to see
what nature had hidden within
her hidden world. After some
distance had been traversed they
came to a cavity,where stalactites
of a beautiful and wonderfull
formation were collected. Many
passages were found and our
party divided at the first branch,
some going one way some an-
other, The left hand passage
led in a northwest direction
around the inner face of the hill
and ended in a little more than a
hundred feet from the entrance
in a beautiful appartment cover -
eredover with stalactities. The
other main passage led back into
the hill about the same distance
as the other passage where there
was room for all to stand up and
those in the lead waited for the
rest to catch up then they walk-
ed about twentyfive feet when
they were again compelled to re-
sort to their hands and knees.
Illinois State Fair.
An exhibit of Oklahoma pro-
ducts will be put on exhibition
at the Illinois State Pair the last
of this month. A special car
will be loaded at Vinita to trans-
port the Oklahoma products
there, and a good display will be
made. You need not be sur-
prised to see Oklahoma come
back with the blue ribbon. A
Mr. Roberts was here last Sat-
urday working in the interest of
the spec al display, and a com-•
luitte was set to work here at
once gathering specimens of all
description, and to get out ad-
vertising matter to be taken to
the fair. A bunch of Oklahoma
boosters will go on this excur-
sion to the state fair.
