: OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.:-
Don't let the water works escape.
Lexington Leader, tlie mule is yours.
Come up und smoke.
Kansas is shifting some of tier boom
towns down to the Strip.
Give the water tvorks proposition the
encouragement that it deserves.
Norman will have a water works
proposition submitted to her within ten
days.
Oklahoma took tlrst prize on nearly
every product that she exhibited at tlie
World's Fair.
The more you civilize the people of
these United States the more uncivil-
ized they become.
WATER WORKS.
Norman to Have a Proposition Submit-
ted We Must Have Them.
The seeds of protection are being
sown and will be reaped for the salva-
tion of the United States.
Wouldn't the Republicans have a
great snap if G. Hover Cleveland should
nominate himself for President in 1S9U.
Let no Republican assist the Demo-
cratic party in their suicidal attempt to
destroy everything which has made
America great.
Otik Dennis Flynn Is a rustler, and if
any of the fraudulent schemes of the
Strip escape his vigilant eye, they will
have to be buried pretty deep.
The manufacturers of the South,
when it comes to a show-down are in
favor of protection. Heretofore they
have been playing a game of "blulf."
At u rousing big meeting of the
Homesteaders of theC. and A. country,
Kingfisher and Canadian counties.
Dennir. Flynn was enthusiastically en-
dorsed.
iln. Malonk, register of the Land Of-
fice at l'erry, and who is known as a
"Jupiter" in cipher dispatches of the
boodler gang, is very anxious to resign
his place.
i he only way to secure what you
wani is by persistent agitation and
tiiat's the way the advocates of state-
hood fur Oklahoma expect to attain the
desired end.
^ jt kick. Not because the El Reno
Democrat clips from the Transcript
onca awhile, but because that paper
credits what we say about Oklahoma to
tbt Kansas City Tiuies.
line i'iunsi hut's tow-line is out for
•watti worl.t and we intend to keep
(lulling until Norman gets a good sys-
tem whether the time be three months
*>r that many years hence.
It is not only a necessity that a city
the size of Norman should have water
works, but a good investment. One
man Is just as liable to be burned out as
another and there Is not a man in town,
unless he Is a crank and hide-bound, but
who would rather pay his proposition of
the tax, than to see his property, his all,
you might say in many cases go up in
ilames. There is a number of other rea-
sons why the people and especially the
business men should take hold of this
question in earnest. One of the most
prominent reasons is the saving in in-
surance. Again, the amount the mer-
chants pay to have the streets sprink-
led would almost pay In his water works
tax. And again a lot holder will pay
enough for digging a well on his proper-
ty to pay the tax and water privelege
for two or three years and then It won't
be as convenient as water works. Last
but not the least, the building of water
works would show the people who
come to this section with a view of
locating that Norman was a live pro-
gressive town and that her citizens were
abreast with the times. Mr. 1>. H.
Scott, of the firm of Scott & Deiany, was
at the Victoria Hotel last Monday and a
representative of the Tbanscriit had a
long talk with him. lie said they
would contract to build water works in
this city either of two plans. 1st. un-
ler a franchise from the city. If built
on this plan they would build and
operate the plant themselves, 2nd,
would build for a stated sum and turn
same over to the city as soon as com-
pleted.
These Jgentlemen are practical water
worksmen, having Dullt several plants
in Kansas. They also built the Okla-
homa City works and are now complet-
ing a tine plant at Chandler, Okla.
They are thoroughly reliable and have
the means to push the work right along.
Water works ore not luxury, they are
a necessity. The golden opportunity
is staring you in the face; you can take
advantage of it. If you don't you
should hitve no kick coming if your
property should burn up. Brace up
gentlemen, show your collar button and
quit wiping your nose on your sleeve.
Statehood, Ahoy!
"Praise God from whom all blessings
Howl''the great statehood convention
has been held, and the delegates did
their full duty. It was a noble gather-
ing, of noble man, for a noble purpose,
No State or Territory has such Demo-
crats and Republicans as Oklahoma.
When there is a common interest at
stake they drop their politics, pull off
their coats and all work together as one
man. In any other country some fellow
who is partisan, for the office only,
would have kicked up a"divel ot a row"
and spi l ed the whole convention. But
not so with Oklahoma people. They
work for Oklahoma tlrst and partisan
politics next. Just think of it? Gov.
Seay and Sid Clarke two wheel-horses
of different colors, liitehed up to the
same wagon.
Well, the convention decided in favor
or single statehood, and made arrange-
ments for a lobby at Washington, to help
Dennis Flynn in getting a bill for state
hood through congress. By the way it
heats the dickens that tlie peolpe of the
United States have to go to Washington
and buy, beg or steal everything that
they get through tlie congress of these
United States. Its a fact though. No
matter how deserving a measure may
be, the ••pusher" lias to be used in get-
ting it though. Great Country this!
Kieet men to office, and then be eom-
peled to use "influence" to get them to
do their duty.
