The New Buildings
It is in accordance with the
progress of Luther that the prop-
erty owners on the west side of
Second street build brick or stone
buildings this summer. And,
indeed, this seems to be the
opinion of the property owners
themselves. The old wooden
buildings are inadequate in erery
way. The increased stocks oar-
ried, and the increased patron-
age of the merchants cause un-
due orowding, and danger of fire
is a menace to the safety of
property.
All of the property owners are
willing and most of them t
anxious to put up new buildings
provided everyone else will do
likewise, as they do not wish to
put up a handsome new build-
ing and have it endangered by
fire by the proximity of frame
buildings. Thus the whole prop-
osition simmers down to the fact
that everybody is waiting on
everybody else and are merely
waiting for somebody to set the
ball to rolling.
We would suggest that those
interested in the projeot call a
meeting and coma to an under-
standing.

Half Interest Sold
Tuesday, Osoar Rioh, of Guth-
rie, bought a half interest in the
Southwestern Cotton Oil Com-
pany's ootton gin.
Mr. Rioh is a first-class gin
man, having been connected
with Houghten & Douglas at
Guthrie, for the past several
years. He is to assume the-man-
agement of his acquisition here,
and states that it will be com-
pletely overhauled, and new hul-
ler gins installed, and made first-
class in every way.
Mr. Rich has also purchased
the J. L. Seeds|property near the
sohool house, and will move his
family here next week. Luther
welcomes him and his.
Rook is being blasted this
week for the foundation of the
new Clark and Davis gin, popu-
larly called the Farmer's gin.
Patron's Day at School
Invitatione were sent by the
teachers of our public school to
the patrons to visit the school on
Wednesday of this week, and in-
spect the work that is being done.
A few complied and were well
pleased with the interest taken
by both teachers and pupils.
The lBt and 2nd grades are
taught by Miss Knott, who has
her room nicely decorated and
everything looked cozy and in-
viting. She has the faculty of
interesting the young minds and
keeping them employed, and she
does not spare herself in her ef-
forts to do so. We saw work in
her room whioh would be oom-
mendable in higher grades.
We found Miss Anderson, in
the little side room, in charge of
the 3rd, 4th and &th grades.
When we saw the crowded and
unoomfortable condition of her
room she had oUr sympathies.
Notwithstanding the embarrass-
ment under which she has labor
ed she has been quite success-
ful. The work done is thorough
and progress has been good. It
is to be hoped that the school
board will provide better accom-
modations for the grades she is
teaching before another school
year.
We found Miss Huffman, the'
principal, at her post with tht
6th grade and up. While her
room is not orowded like Miss
Anderson's, she has one more
grade than she is entitled to, but
did not complain of being over-
worked. Her eduoation, exper-
ience and taot eminently fits her
for the position she occupies. We
found everything in her room
very satisfactory.

Company Dissolved
About three years ago the
Luther Coal, Gas & Oil Co- was
organized for the purpose of
drilling a hole in the ground.
The oompany was capitalized
for $100,000, part of the stook
subscribed and 2 per cent of the
amount subscribed was paid into
the treasury. Discouraged by
the failure of other oompanies,
the Luther Coal, CJas & Oil Co.
did not drill for the hidden riches
of the earth.
Last year the leases expired.
This week the, company was dis-
solved and 69 oenta on eaoh dol-
lar paid in was returned to the
stockholders, the balancing 31
oents being used for expenses.
Thus an old eyesore to those,
interested has bees doae away
with.

A Canning Factory
Of late years the American
people are growing more and
more into the habit of eating
eanned goods and the tin can
oraze is so far advanced that it
is now almost impossible to get •
a meal without entering into its
oomposition something of the
oanned goods order. You go
into a store now and ask for
something good to eat. The ac-
commodating merchant promptly
steps behind his counter, takeri
down a gaudily decorated can
and says, "Here is some tine
oanned plums* and here we have
the best canned grapes on tha
market." You look doubtfully
at the gaudy labels and.then look
around for some fresh fruit or
vegetables, but the merohant if
not at all abashed. "Perhaps it
is some of these nice oanned
tamalas, flavored with Dr. Jones'
latest anti-rriicrobe sauce," he
says, ''or some of these nice
tinned meats." Your finer sensi-
bilities revolt at the thought of
"nioe tinned meats," but you
must have something to eat, so
you finally make your way home-
ward with a oan eaeh of oorn,,
tomstoes, peatfe,'and plums. One;
result of all this Is that most of
us rarely experience the delight-
ful sensation of eating fresh
fruit, and e predict that within
a few years the housewife won't
know how to oook anything un- ,
less it oomes in a tin can with a
fancy colored wrapper. Another
result of the oanned goods oraze t
is the great derftsnd. Thousands
of canning institutions all over,
the oountry supply this great de-
mand, furnish employment to
thousands of itien and enrich
thousands of growers of the raw
produots.
Elsewhere institutions of this
have met and are meeting with
great sucoess, and the idea is
advanced that Luther should get
in line and establish a canning
factory here. As the demand is
good and our soil is the strongest
in Oklahoma and peculiarly
suited to the raising of corn,
tomatoes and fruits of all kinds,
we believe an institution of this
kind would meet with great suc-
oess as well as prove a great
benefit to the town. It would be
the means of furnishing thev
farmter with early money and the
sale of his products would net
him- more to the aere than any-
thing else he could raise. Luther
would be greatly benefitted by .
this kind of an industry ana it is ,
urged that stime investigation on j
the part of our business men
iwould not be untimely. Many
of them1 are grefctly in favor of'
the enterprise and we are confi-
dent that money for the estab-
lishing of the oannery could be
raised Without help'lrom the out-
fide.'
Thar anothbf opportunity
towards" the betterment of Luther
is presented. With eotton alone
|it should not be satisfied—with
oorn alone it should be likewise.
The Creator war not satisfied
with one creation. After experi-
menting with minor oreations, he
made man and thus eclipssd all
of his former achievements. Let
uedo likewise in the establish-
ing'of a oannihg industry.
