GRANITE, Ok. Sept. 3.— (Spe
cial)—He was a good nutured look
ing old fellow who passed through
town today driving a team hitch-
ed to a string of five wagons. On
the rear wagon was emblazoned in
big letters:
"Texas for starvation; Mexico
for immigration; to H—1 with
Taft's administration; 1 am bound
for Arkansaw."
When asked for an explanation
of the extraordinary sentiment,the
old fellow replied with a Mark
Twain drawl and wink that he
"had traveled through Texas and
old Mexico without finding water
enough to put out a camp fire or
grass enough to feed a billy goat."
and that he meant what he said
when lie placarded himself as
bound for Arkansas.
"A fellow back yonder asked
me if 1 was a socialist," he remark-
ed as he gathered up his lines
preparatory to continuing his jour-
ney, 'but 1 told h'im I was anything
but that; G'long.' and with a lively
crack of his whip the old fellow
continued his way.

\ 01 months ago the city decided that
(Sue #'wou'd niore willing to construct a
| water system for the addition fban a
sanitary sewer system and requested
] the department to divert the appro-
' Nidation for sewers, the city agreeing
I to lay water mains. This was done and
0 I the city engineer of Lawton requested
to furnish plans and specifications for
the improvement. About the same time
the school board here was asked to
recommend an architect to draw plans
for the new school building. The re-
j suiting squabble between the school
| board and Chamber of Commerce over
the recommendations for architect lias
delayed the school building.
Provides Separate Outlet.
The plans submited by City Kngin-
eer Kennard for the sanitary sewers
provide a coniplet system making a
net work running through every alley
in the addition. Owing to the fact that
iJ'.p sewers in the east end of the old
town are higher than the southeast
corner of the new adidtion, a seperate
outlet or drain sewer must be
constructed running east from the ad-
dition direct to Cache creek thus en-
tailing an expense greater than was
at first estimated. Owing partly to the
lewness of the east end of the north
addition and partly to the fact that the
storm sewer squabble of several years
ago prevented the carrying out of the
original contract for larger sewe
tunnels than were finally laid, the out-
let will have been made when storm j |t8 |)aramne base.

ject with a view of continuing the work
to Oklahoma City. Creek county com-
missioners. on the east, favor earn-
ing the improvement northeast through
Bristow, Kellyville, Sapulpa and Tan-
eha. On the north Washington county
is laboring with the problem of a north
and south county road through Bartles-
ville, Matoka, Ochelata. Ramona and
Vera, to the southern county line. If
Tulsa county can be induced to join
in the road building, the highway will
be complete from Oklahoma City to the
Kansas line, south of Caney, a distanc
uf approximately 250 miles, or half
hctoss the state.
Other Routes in Prospect.
Lincoln county's energy will not
wear ut with its first project. The
county will agree to make bond issues
in promoting a good raodway to Mus- wagon
kogee from Chandler east, with Ok-
fuskee. Okmulgee and Muskogee coun-
ties financing the work through their
jurisdictions. Such a highway would
connect Chandler and Muskogee with
the cities of Okemah. Henryetta and
Okmulgee.
The general course of a third public
highway extends north out of Lincoln
County to Stillwater, through the towns
of Kendrick, Cushing, Ripley and M -
han. and from Chandler . or near there,
south through Sparks. Pavson and
Meeker to Pottawatomie county line,
with a tact it agreement for Pottawato-
mie county to carry the work to its
southern boundary thro, gh Shawnee
and Tecumseh. McLain county will
aid by connecting the unproved road-
way into Garvin county, and the latter
will be expected to build it as far as
Pauls Valley und Wynnewood. In ad-
dition. Logan county, which is accredit-
ed with having the worst roads in Ok-
lahoma. is preparing to float bonds for
a north and south, east and west road
system, which could be connected
with the other main highway at Okla-
homa City, or southeast of Guthrie.
The Muskogee road from Chandler
would be about 100 miles, and the Still
watbr-Garvin county connection
through Lincoln county, between 125
and 150 miles. In their entirety, the pro
jects mean anywhere between 550 and
650 miles of improved highway, that
will: ordinary care should last, a life-
time.
Petrolythlc Process Favored.
Lincoln county will lay a petrolythlc
road, a vigorous combination of oil.
rock and earth, now In general use on
the Pacific slope. Mr. Johnson recently
inspected petrolythlc roads In Califor-
nia. They had been in use for fifteen
years without signs of decaying or
wearing. A short stretch is being put
down into El Paso. Tex., but in gen-
eral this character of road is new east
of the Hooky Mountains.
According to government experts,
who are here aiding the local work, the
cost Is between $"..000 and $0,000 per
mile, or about $200,000 for Lincoln co-
unty's undertaking from Wellston to
tiary at McAlester, and until this is
completed, the state can give little at-
tention to general road improvement.
I'rcsidi nt Yoakum's Plan.
President Yoakum of the Rook Is-
land- Frsico System. In his Shawnee
speech to the state farmers' union,
offered a good road plan which, if
succe ssfully carried out will material-
lv help counties in their improvements
When a town is particularly ambitious
for a railroad, and is willing to give
a bonus of say $100,000. he would limit
the railroad's receipt to the rif to
pass through the town, with ten. tal
facilities, costing probably $25,000 or
more, an 1 require the town to spend
the remainder of the bonus in better-
ing all the wagon roads entering the
town. Value of this suggestion i«
found in the fact that with desirable
ids the farmer would be In
a more satisfactory position to the
carrying company and be the means of
Mcatlng an additional amount of busi
ness in which both the town and the
carrying company would b nefit.
