one-fourth miles long and extends!

paralleling the wall, through which
dredges will haul sand from the bay
and deposit it through piping in the |
section being raised. The city will be
raised to the top of the wail on the
gulf side and gradually sloped to the
bav on the opposite side of ihe island.
One block in the northeastern portion
of the city has been raised to the new j
grade, and all houses in that section !

which connects with the bay.
The sand used for filling is taken
from the bay between the jetties, and.

STAND FOR DEMOCRACY.
General Jamison, Old War Horse,
Makes Seme Terse Observations.
Editor Loader. It 1b very unfortu-
nate for Democratic success that any
dissensions should have grown out o#
(hi actlou of the recent territorial con-
vention at Oklahoma City, to mar the
outlook and possibly pressage deleft'
wh n the political skies were apparent-
ly so pregnant with victory to the ter-
ritorial Democracy.
1 was a little astonished upon goinrc
into Guthrie Saturday to discover a
l>ad slate Of feeling among some of tho
Democrats over what they allege was
uncivil treatment to the Logau county
delegation by ihe Oklahoma City com-
mittee of arrangements, and the un-
wise not to say foolish resolution of
Judge Keaton.

the stand it has for our nominee. That
is Democracy. Every honest and sin-

of an individual or committee, for
which the nominee of the convention
is no more responsible than he Is,
hasn't enough Democratic blood cours-
Ine through his veins to moisten the
filmy pedals of an ant, and It Is far
better for the party that he put on the.
colors suited to his condition.
Suppose the Oklahoma City com-
mittee cf arrangements did treat our
delegation with studied discourtesy is
that any reason why Democrats should
withhold their support from the nomi-
nee of the convention? Why should
he be charged ana held responsible for
a thing he could not prevent and which
lie hall pothing whatever to do with,
and probably cendeums as strongly as

Is the indiscreet action of Jud*e
Keaton any grounds lor any I/igan
county Democrat to sulk? Suppose
Judge Keaton's motives in Introducing
his die-brand resolution Into the con-
vention, which, up to that moment wis
'voriilug so harmonlouwy, were ill the}
charge the.n to be, namely, to create
dissensions In the party and gratify a
personal grievance of the pas1 and thu
dangle another Democratic scalp
alongside of his own would that be a
justification for any Logan county
Democrat to still' In his tent It Is tie

view.
Suppose again, as some one rharg. s.
that Ihe Keaton resolution was th--
pr< duct of the train of Hid Clarke. I

county Democrat should refuse his

Some men carry with them to their

manhood, rise superior to the foggy
atmosphere of personal littleness and
