Geo. Salisbury of Oklahoma City,
who, it will be remembered, was
the heavyweight champion of
Oklahoma until just recently
when he *vas defeated by Colum-
bus Danielson. Mr. Salisbury
is a first class wrestler as was
shown at El Reno at a walking
contest some time ago when he
offered a purse of $50 to any
man who would stay with him
20 minutes and although several
tred not one won the $50.
Although Mr. Salisbury is a
very good wrestler, he will have
to go some to win from the wily
Slemp who makes up in skill for
what he lacks in weight and will
no doubt give the big wrestler
his money's worth.
The main contest will be pre-
ceded by several excellent pre-
liminaries, among which will be
one in which Young Miller,
lightweight champion wrestler
of Oklahoma, will participate.

"A big bunch of prominent
democrats from the western and
northern portions of the state
have just visited El Reno and
made a strong demand upon B.
W. Riley to seek the democratic
nomination for governor." said
a friend of Mr. Riley's last
night. "Mr. Riley has lived in
Oklahoma for the past ten years
or more, has been four years
chairman of the Canadian county
democratic central committee
has been one of the best mayors
El Reno ever had. He has been
liDeral, but unwavering in his
democracy, and there isn't a flaw
or a spot on him anywhere "
It is stateu mat a campaign
fund of over $10,000 has been
raised lor Mr. Riley by his
friends and that there is every
probability of his making the
race.

order to show a magnanimous
spirit, the citizens of the com-

who compose the personnel of
the company. They have located

Interurban Developements.
From reports emanating from
a reliable source, the stretch of
country to be traversed by the
Interurban between Oklahoma
City and El Reno, will be pretty
well occupied by towns. Start-
ing from Oklahoma City the
first town reached will be Oka"
dian (this name will be changed),
then you come to another town
seven miles east of Yukon,
which we are informed is now
being laid out, then the town ef
Yukon haves in sight, and at
least one town between Yukon
and El Reno is contemplated—a
few miles west of Cereal. A
still closer neighbor on our east
has been hinted at, but is im-
probable. This story was given
to us by a man who has been
over the route.
Now, if Yukon is to excel in
growth, beauty and activity,
why not push the water works
and sewerage proposition? We
could easily head off our com-
petitors in modernism if the
citizens would get busy. The
people who live in Oldahoma
City who want to "get out" are
used to modern conveniences
and will demand them. It
would give Yukon an immense
advantage. The old story about
the early bird is very pertinent
to the situation in Yukon right
now.
