Prof. Bentley was in Guthrie last
week, where he took the examination
before the state supreme court to be
admitted to the bar of Oklahoma aud
successfully passed the examination.
This would indicate that Prof. Bent-
ley is to abandon school work for the
law profession. He is a good student,
a graceful and forceful speaker and
will doubtless make a successful at-
torney. His many Edmond friends
wish him abundant success in his new
profession.

William Tate, Pioneer.
William Tate, a pioneer citizen of
Clay county, was in Henrietta this
week renewingold acquaintances. Mr.
Tate settled on Long Creek in 1876
with his wife and eleven children,
where he engaged in farming. But
weather conditions were against
farming in those times and he soon
gave it up to engage in buying and
shipping horses, in which line he was
San Louis Valley, Colorado
Mr. Joe Keoppel, from Deer Creek, Oklahoma, has sold his
farm and has purchased a half section of land in the famous San
Louis Valley, of Colorado, from Ringer Brothers, through the
Bryan & Black agency, of Oklahoma City. Mr. Keoppel has made
two trips to the valley and was well pleased the first trip at which
time he bought one quarter of land but was still better pleased on
his second trip and bought another quarter, thus making him a
half section near Alamosa, where he expects to make his future
home.
This is the land where storms and droughths are almost un-
known, as each acre uf land carries a perpetual water right with
it, and this makes farming a safe proposition. This land when
brought under irrigation, produces from 40 to 60 bushels of wheat
per acre, from 50 to SO bushels of oats, from 40 to 70 bushels of
barley, from 30 to 50 bushels of stock psas, from 250 to 600 bush-
els of potatoes, as well as the finest quality of alfalfa and sugar
beets. Of course, it produces many other cereals, but the ones
here named are the principal crops, as they always bring good
cash .prices, and the farmer can harvest and care- for his crops
and store them in the very best of condition, and they will keep
from year to year and the farmer can market his crops when it
best suits bis conveniences.
Besides ail the above, the climate .is almost ideal, and the best
water in the world, artesian water, can be had at very little co9t,
which gives the farmer a chance to have a complete system of
water works on his farm at about the same cost as it would take
to put up a wind mill.
The next excursion leaves Edmond, on Monday, June 15th, at
4 o'clock, p. m. Round trip, including berth in a special car,
$28.90. For full information about these lands see

Board of Health,
That E. J. Giddings will be a can-
didate for governor of Oklahoma and
upon a platform that is founded un-
alterably upon local option and high
license, is the absolute and unquali-
fied statement made by Mr. Giddings
just before his departure for Milwau-
kee Friday night, where he will ad-
dress a meeting of lawyers, brewers,
ministers, educators and business
men upon the prohibition provision
in the Oklahoma constitution, its
present effectiveness and prohable re-
sults, Tuesday morning. Mr. Gid-
dings will leave Milwaukee in time to
attend the Birmingham national re-
union of Confederate veterans, where
he is scheduled for a speech June 11.
An order has been issued for the
calling of a special venire of 24 men
to report to district Judge Clark
June 11, for grand jury work. "It
has been a long time since a grand
jgry has been empaneled here, and it
is about time that we were having
one," is the explanation of County
Attorney Reardon. "There are a
number of things in Oklahoma City
that need investigating, but it would
be foolish to announce just what the
inquisitorial body is going after in
nd vance."
