Oklahoma has had six gover-

successful than those of his pred-
ecessors. In retrospective, it
may be said that the first gover-
nor, Geo. W. Steel was an im-
portation from Indiana. He
came, as many other eastern im-
portations, with more conceit
than brains, and after a seige of
about twelve months, pulled
back to his native heath. His
administration was marked by
one important event—the veto of
the Oklahoma City Capital Bill.
Following him catne A. J, Seay,
who held down the executive job
until be was releived by the
grace of Grover Cleveland. This
administration was marked by
nothing in particular, but every-
body said Seay was a good gov-
ernor.
Renfrew followed Seay and his
administration was a very suc-
cessful in as much as he went, in
a comparatively poor man and
came out one of the wealtiest in
the territory.
Cash Barnes was the next man
at the helm. He proved his abil-
ity by building the Alva Normal,
costing more than $100,000 on an
appropriation of $40,000.
After Barnes came Jenkins,
who encountered a certain insti-
tution known as the Sanitarium
and failed to survive, so Fergu-
son was called to fill his place.
Ferguson is succeeded by Frantz
and let us hope that this is the
end of territorial governors.
Increasing Business.
C. B. Peters has organized a
company and will increase the
business of the Supply Flour and
Feed Store. They will put in a
large stock and wholesale both
flour and feed. They expect to
be able to sell so that local mer-
chants can save money by buy-
ing from them. Mr. Peters has
built up an extensive trade since
opening the business last fall,
and will continue his retail busi-
ness as before.
