The ICagle publishes today a news

columns to advance the special in-

but the entire public will under-

case because while the University ad-

the reasons why the line should be

These statements are splendid con-

si H'KKSSING INFORMATION.
The talk in the senate last Satur-
day about "impertinent" efforts on
the part of the German government
to influence tariff legislation appears
ry imple-J t0 have been designed to call away
the attention of the public from the
fact that the finance committee had
been caught suppressing information
which may be of considerable value
to American consumers, according to
the Chicago Tribune.
The republican national platform
states that the tariff rates to be fixed
should measure the difference be-

quiries are being received as to the

across fields of honest public service
and adherence to the cause of the
common good. Trickery, treachery,
graft and deception, the old ways,
lead only to disappointment and bit-

joice that the old regime is passing
and the era of honest men and hon-
est methods begins to dawn.

formed to raise the $85,000 bonus
Enid offered the college. Some of
these lots have changed hands sev-
eral times at advanced prices. Only
yesterday Prof. Marshall of O. C. U.
sold two lots he bought 011 payments
at a price which netted him three
hundred dollars profit on a small
investment. He immediately bought
other lots and will bhild a fine
home. Dr. J. W. Way had a similar
experience, Dr. Way bought five lots
near the campus for $1,550 and sold
three for enough to pay for the five.
This week he refused $600 for one
of the lots he has left, and the other
Is worth as much. Countless install
ces of this kind might be cited to
show the solid basis there is for in-
vestment in that part of the eity,
though some have "knocked" on the
proposition for seU'ish reasons To-
day the remaining lots which the D -
velopment company have put on the
market at a lew pi ice for the purpose
'.f raising tlv? ball nee of the debt 11
the college are selling rapidly and
it will be only a few weeks until
Enid people will be asking them-
selves how it came that they let a
• snap" get away from them, the lots
being sold at a low figure and on
easy payments. These statements
are made because the Development
company is not a private concern but
represents the city itself and the
proposition it is making is one
worthy of phblic support as well as
being a splendid financial investment.
When the debt has been paid the
stockholders in that company will
have enough lots remaining to pay
back every dollar put into the bonus
fund and some profit, a considerable
profit if they decide to hold the lots
until they can get what they will be
worth as soon as the college author-
ities carry out their present plan.
Hundreds of New Homes.
The growth ot the east side is one j
of the greatest wonders in the history I
,.t" the < ity. Hundreds of new houses, |
literally speaking, have been erected 1
111 I'niverisity addition and additions
adjacent to it within the past few
months. There are places in that ,
part of the city where one can stand
and look upon a sea of shining new
roofs in front of him which have
been put there within the past three
or four months. Many of these
hi us A are good ones, large and well
built. They are nearly all owned by
the people who built them and the
grounds are therefore kept up as
homes should be cared for. At the
present rate of building the entire
Univcrisity addition will be covered
with houses in two years time. If
the paving of streets from the city to
the college has the same effect on
real estate values in that part of
Knld that similar improvements have
had in other parts lot values may be
expected to rise very rapidly from
this time on. the paving having been
decided upon. A well known banker
stated today that in his opinion man>
cf the lots in University addition now
for sale at a low figure will be con-
sidered cheap at one thousand dollars
when the paving nnd other improve-
nioants contemplated In that section
have been put down.
A Million Increase in Valuation.
Ti e coming of the university cost
business men of the city who took
stock in the Development cmpnyaa 0
stock in the Development company a
large sum of money, but it added to
property values 011 the east side, be-
tween the Rock Island tracks and ti e
farthest extent of the eo.leso addi-
tion more than one million dollars.
This Is proved by the assessed valu-
ation of the property before and af-
ter the coming of the school. Many
people who did not put a dollar into
the college benus fund have grown
rich out of the landing of the inst-
tut'on here, while the city Itself has
been advertised from ane extreme of
the nation to the other in socural
magazines nnd newspapers in a man-
ner that would have been possible
through few ether sources
In short. Enid made a great hit
v hen she Inn'e l this college. anJ
the re-ults of the efforts put forth at
that time by a few loyal Knld men
have proved far greater than the
most g't vlng statements they made
to citizens whom they tried to in-
terest. With the paying off of the
college debt which it is proposed to
do at the end of this month the col-
lege will enter on a new era of pro-
perty and will soon be classed among
the best in the country.

of a very high order and showed
marked advancement in the pupils
along the lines of piano playing and
public speaking.
Two plays, entitled "The Assessor"
and "A Well of Lids" drew a large
crowd Thursday evening, and the
novel dramatic contata, "A Trial by
Jury" was given to a full and enthu-
siastic house Thursday night, after
which the $200 deficit which had
been incurred during the year was
quickly and easily wiped out.
Interest and enthusiasm in the
school and its work are at a high
point and the prospects for the fu-
ture are growing bright every day.
Plans for next year have been made
and the work goes forward apace.
Mr. Avy M. Allen from Holden-
