Mf. John W. Shartel, of Ok-
rtlloiiia City, i« authority for
\e Statement that the proposed
iterurban railway between that
jty and Guthrie will pass from
i paper iiiiiway to a reality.
Ilesays work will soon have
ommenced, abd thut the line
vill be in operation as far as
trittou by June 1-. If the pres-
nt plaus of the company aiv
arried out the entire road will
10 In operation before fall.
There seems to be but little
•inestion in the minds of tin-
x.-ople here but that roud will
jo a great benefit to Edmond.
Should this road be built,
loubttess scores of traveling
:ien now residing ifi Oklahoma
'ity would come to Edmond t<
ive, in order to sepure cheaper
•ent and the educational ad
.nntages afforded by the Cen-
ral Normal school. R°tirei
usiuess men would also be et
racted to this city. This in-
•eased population would cer-
:tiuly result in the establish-
ment of a waterworks systen
:ore, the building of an ice
ilant, a steam laundry, and
lotibtless many other institu-
r'lons. It would mean an in-
•rease of fully 2,000 in popula-
tion within a short time. The
"lure for Edmond at the pres-
ut time is looking exceedingly
light.
The Comanche Indians in
Oklahoma have a law that the
man who runs away with an-
other man's squaw forfeits all
his property to the aggrieved
husband. A law like that in
New York might end all this
talk about the solution of the
livorce problem.
Brown-haired women are the
best barometers. When their
curls frazzle out it will rain.
Women are the best people, too.
Men take more interest in one
pretty girl than they take in
ne hundred of theii own sex.
Interest is agieat thing. Some
people live on it.
A gaunt Kansas editor is
hiding ii| the hollows of the
Gamboge gorges till the clouds
roll by. The spinsters of the
church gflve him a notice of a
••Spider Web Social," and it
came out in the paper "Spindle
Leg Sftcial.''
The biggest trust qn earth
has been discovered at last. It
is the country newspaper trust.
They trust everybody, get cuss-
ed for trusting, and trusted for
cussing—and finally get busted
by trusting.
Senator Heyburn objects to
•to much land in Idaho being
jet aside for forest reserves.
That's in contrast with Oregon,
where most of it was set aside
for "U. S. Senators" and their
friends.
C. E. Tool aet« as Installing OflWar—
Interfiling Program Follow**
by a Banquet.
One of the most pleasant sooial
events of the season was the in-
stallation of the newly elected
nffioers of the Edmond lodge, No.
1, A. F. A A. M., and banquet,
Friday evening. A short pro-
gram was rendered, after whioh
ihe officers were installed, C. E.
Tool acting as installing officer
and Fred Patten performing the
duties of grand master, marshal.
The first officer installed was
J. A. Himes as worshipful mas-
ter, after hich J. G. lmel was
obligated as senior warden, fol-
lowed by the installation of O. N.
Weiser as senior deacon. L. V.
Ford, eleoted junior warden, was
unable to be present on account
of sickness. Owing to the fact
that the gas light was defective,
the other offioers will be installed
at the next meeting. After the
installation those present re-
paired to the Odd Fellows' hall,
vrhere a splendid feast, prepared
by W. D. Thompson, was fully
enjoyed.
The program rendered prev-
ious to installation, was as fol-
lows:
Musio by orchestra, led by
Prof. Lehrer.
Rev. A. M. Vir Den then gave
a weloome address, response to
which was made by President
Umholtz.
Attorney J. L. Roaten was
then called upon and talked en-
tertainingly on the Eastern Star.
Prof. Thatcher spoke as a thirty-
third degree Mason, after which
the program was conoluded with
a selection by the orchestra.

THE PROBLEM OF STATEHOOD.
The problem of statehood, as
usual, is the main question be-
fore the people of Oklahoma.
Ithasbeeu the subject of de-
>ate for a number of yeais past
md regardless uf the fact that
he question has been present-
(l in a forcible manner by the
idvocates of statehood,the plum
cems still to be hanging just
>eyond grasp. It is ripe and
eady to pluck, and the mem-
bers of congress have been
feasting their eyes on it for
hree or four years, yet they
-eem to be loath to give the
>eople of Oklahoma an oppor-
tunity to tickle their palate with
he fiuit.
Delegate McGuire and scores
if other men, prominent in po-
itical and business circles in
(klahoma, have spent consid-
erable time and money in set-
ing forth theclaimsof Oklaho-
na, but so far, have failed to
jet even a bite of the fruit. Its
>dor is pleasant to nostrils; the
•ipe, luscious fruit is pleasing
o the eye, but it still clings to
'.he tree. The reason for the de-
ay can be found over in New
Mexico and Arizona. There is
mother plum hanging on a tree
over there, but unlike the Ok-
ihoma fruit, it is not ripe. It
loes not look good to the mem-
bers of the United States sen-
ite, and therein lies all the
rouble for Oklahomans. A
Majority of the members of the
senate are ready to give Okla-
homa statehood. The minori-
y. those who have personal in-
•rests in Arizona and New
Mexico, want statehood for
hose two territories and will
t vote to admit Oklahoma un-
- Arizona and New Mexico
