resident of Pauls Valley, is In file city
conferring with various business in-
terests relative to the installing here
of a Western Circuit race track in
connection with a Creek county fair,

nett addition for the race track proper
and also some ground additional to be
utilized for a city park and fair
grounds. •

gotiations, he promises that the enter-

the fair grounds will be in readiness
by September.
Mr. Kerr owns a race track and fair

his residence there with the intention
of making his home in this city. He j
is a business man of large means and |
will be a valuable Sapulpa asset.

Extract From Viticlc Appearing in
the Cement Age by Engineer
,1. Robert liurnbam
The following article by Engineer
J. Robert Burnham on the subject of
cement and concrete construction in
the Cement Age appuirs particularly
appropriate at this time on the eve
of the contemplated expenditure of
some $250,000 on Creek county high-
ways and bridges. Mr. Burnham with
many years experience with the Illi-
nois Steel Company, The Illinois Cen-
tral Railway and other concerns in
the capacity of construction engineer
is recognized as an expert in steel
and concrete construction and it is
not too much to say that there is much
gospel for every county in Oklahoma
well as elsewhere in Mr. Burnham's
article from which the following is
extra< ted:

Ticket Slushed Generally
With the closing of the polls last
night, closed one of the most hotly
contested, unique arid in some re-
spects. spectacular campaigns ever
waged in Sapulpa.
Party lines, as the returns indicate
were thrown to the winds and the
voters chopped up their tickets to
their own sweet will, and, in some
particulars, after a startling fashion.
As a result the complexion of the in-
coming city government presents a
very checkered aspect, with the odds
just a bit in favor of the republicans.
The most hotly contested fight, and
that about which most interest cen-
tered, related to the respective can-
didates for mayor, Judge McDougal,
the democratic nominee, and Joseph
Denton, present incumbent, and re-
publican aspirant. The returns siiow
that Judge McDougal was successful,
winning, however, by the small mar-
gin of five votes.
