It would seem to the writer that a

deep will solve the problem for good
and an abundant supply of water for

THE HOME GOLD CURE.
An Ingenious Treatment by which Drunk-

of Themselves.
The Territorial University and
the Stillwater A. and M. College
seems to be about the only Territo-
rial Educational institutions not
prolific enough to grow a scandal.
Alva, Edmond and Langston are
being hung out on the line to air.
In the removal of the President of
the Edmond Normal, Gov. Jenkins
seems likely to get himself into
some trouble and many senators
have intimated that they are likely
to attempt to hold up the govern-
or's confirmation in the U.S. Senate
in case Murdaugh is not reinstated.
If reports are true, however, the
governor is clearly in the right in
action taken by him and he should
stand his ground.
The Water Problem.
It is needless to extemporize on the
necessity of an abundant supply of
water for a community. Norman, for
several years had this important ques-
tion before its pec pie, with the prob-
lem still unsolved. The past and the
present council have always been
handicaped by the limited means of
obtaining funds, unhappily also; the
bondfloater is in evidence, with ex-
treme plans that meet with public
disfavor.
These conditions, existing is in a
large measure responsible for the
present shortage and the system in
the past of casting around for tempo-
rary relief and forgetting in time of
plenty the necessity of providing for
the dry times that are sure to come.
The public at large discuss the
question thoroughly, every man hav-
ing a theory of how to obtain plenty
of water and individually wonder, if
that damn council is going to get any
water.
The writer of this article is not a
cauncilman, but is thoroughly alive
to the needs of our town Without an
j abundant supply of water in the dry
periods, we cannot hope to progress

Advantages Over other Loans and Loan
Companies
Our loans being made for ten years, no new agfnt's
commission has to be paid at the end of three or five
years, if auy portion of the debt remains unpaid. Prin-
cipal and interest are payable in ordinary money, not in
gold coin.
The coupons are sent to local banks for collection
and all risk of sending money away is eliminated.
Having unlimited funds at our command, we are not
dependent on the money market; but are always prepared
to make all the desirable loans offered.
Papers are drawn and titles examined in our office
and money paid as soon as loan is approved and title
found satisfactory.
No unecessary delays.
And there are other advantages iu dealing with us of
which we shall ba glad to inform intending borrowers
upon application.

defeated. The Democrats in the
territory now hope for a similar re
action to take place in the new coun-
ties organized in the new country
opening up to settlement. The re-
action will doubtless take place;
but in view of record made for ex-
travagance in the strip counties by
Democratic officials, it certainly re
quires supreme gall on the part of
Democrats to presume that settlers
in the new counties will be such
chumps as to replace Republican
plunders with Democratic plunders.

The writer having made himself fa-
miliar with the subject, is settled in
the belief that the enlargement of
the present well is the only solution
of the prob'em. Going to Bishop's
springs or the river, results in finding
exactly the same kind of water,
namely; sheet water that we have
surrounding the present well. The
writer knows of wells over nearly all
the level lands of the Indian terri-
tory, and the general conditions is the
same, when yot reach a certain level,
you find sheet water that in dry times
sink, in wet season rise, and the only
way to get water is to have reservoir
capacity below the level of the top of
I the sheet water so that it can collect.
To go to Bishop's springs or the river,
! the same conditions would be found,
that are here. First, the How would
be strong, like the present well, then
a,tera certain area is drained it would
j become weak. If a reservoir is con-
structed that will furnish storage ca-
pacity and kept pumped below the
level of the sheet water top, it is evi-
dent that the area of drainage " ill be
I increased, until there will be sutlicient
water for all purpose, as proven by
the present well, that we are just
about at the top level of the sheet
ford.
