Congressman Morgan's Work
for Ike Old Soldiers Highly
Appreciated.
The following resolutions by
the G A. R. Poet No 106 off
Custer City are self-explanatory:
"Custer City. July 20th, 1912
Resolved that Cus er City Poet
No. 108. Dept. of Ok shcraaG. A.
R. hereby desire to express our
heartfelt thanks to Hon. DLk T.
Morgan, Member of Congress
from the Second Oklahoma Dist-
rict for his earnest and p riotic
efforts in bthalf of the Old Sold-
iers of the Civil war, also that
one copy o t tit expre tion of our
appreciition of the worth and
ability of Hon. Dick T. Morgan

ton, and one copy of his late
speech before Congress be filed
away with a copy of this resolu-
tion with the records of this Post.

Congressman Morgan Again
Vindicated.
Tne following editorial appear*
ed in the Carmen Headlight
jn<1er date of August 16th. 1912:
"Hon. Dick T. Morgan has
been agftin vindicated by being
nominated bjr a good majority. If
ever a congressman was entitled
to a re-election. Dick T. Morgan
certainly ia. fie has been honest
faithful, and very successful in
representing the interests of the
people, and he should be re-elect-
ed by a larger majority than ever
before."
If the Beaver and Forgan
papers do not understand why
people object to the needless ex-
penditure of county fund* they
should compare the taxes here
and in other places. Tske for
instance s t an on the Texas line.
He pays more taxes on 160 acres
of land, than his neighbor just
across the line in Texas pays on

^.ill have to do our part and meet the terms that the builders require
us, for you can not legitimately get something for nothing, and
f,~ longer v:e wait the m-re we will have to dig up and the harder
Sjork w w'll find it tc get any one to submit us a proposition.
There is very little use in ojr saying anything more about this
Hitfl you have attended the meeting on Sept. 14 r^nd heard the
•yopositon direct from the promoter, except that last winter the
njost of the coal that we used cost ua $20 per ton. If there had
l*een a railroad here we could have bought it for from $6.50 to $8
per ton. The saving on this item would have more than made our
>st payment toward the railroad.
Be sure to come here Saturday, Sept. 14; and bring all of your
Tjighbors, and come prepared to put your shoulder to the wheel
ind help us build up this country. Good fortune is now knocking
■>ur door. Be sure to be at home and let it in.
SILSBEE SAYS if PAYS BIG.
Increases the Value of Land at Least Eighteen Dollars
per Acre.
Silsbee's Store. Sept. 3, 1912.
if. W. Hill, Editor,
Gray. Oklahoma.
Seeing one of your hand bills advertising a railroad meeting at
Jr&y. on Saturday afternoon. Sept. 14, 1912, I write to say that
tfo land owners of this locality feel great interest in a railroad
through this region.
Major E. C. Gorden addressed quite a number of people last
night at theShorb school house and t^e effect of il was in my opinion
that every man there will support his proposition.
I desire to give you a little of my own experience as to the great
bfenefits of a railroad in increasing the value of land. I have a
hbmestead in Custer County, Oklahoma, which was 20 miles
from a railroad and during that time I was unable to sell the
.quarter for two thousand dollars. Recently the railroad from
Clinton, through Butler has been built, which brings my land much
nearer a railroad and now I could sell .t any day for Five Thousar d
Dbllars Cash, which equals Eighteen Dollars per acre Increase on
tfte value of the land, all from the effects of having a railroad
nearer
I earnestly hope and many others it this locality hope that the
pfe6ple generally along the line proppo?ed by Major Gordtfn will
)fromply come forward and act together and get this railroad, for
i^wHl require cooperation to secure it.
Respectfully,
•T.";C Silbee,

James Prrry, living near Lipscomb
Texas, has been visiting for some time
past near Grand Valley lait weeK
purchased the Charles McWhirter place
for a conBidf ration of $1800. In ad-
dition to this piece of land Mr. Perry
owns a half section in Lipscomb County
al! of which ia on the line of the propos-
ed railroad, and he is very enthusiastic
in the matter and says ha will fieely
obligate himself to give per acre to
the company for every foot of land that
he poasesces,
In talking over the railroad proposit-
ion Dr. W. H. Rhodes stated that it looked
mighty good to him, and that he knows
that during the five vear3 he has been
here he has paid out in freight form the
railroad on coal alone, to say nothing
about many other things, over five
hundred dollars, or one hundred dollars
a year, this of itself is an item of no
Small magnitude, and would more than
make the fir it payment of the amount
required by the railroad builders per
quarter section of land.
Probably the right For two men to
have different opinion was never more
clearly proven than is shown here right
now. One man that his late plantings
of various crops growing is mighty an-
xious to see it rain, While his neighbor
that has got a large acreage of fine
bioom corn pulled and laying on the
ground is fervently hoping that it w.li
not rain, at least until his crt pis safely
stored in the rick. Is it very certain
that an all wise Providence would find it
a task to please the entire human
family.
A number of people that have proved
up claims hete have moved away and
a great many reccive this paper. To
those we propound this quiery, W hat
are you going to do about the railroad
proposition? Your property will be
greatly increased in value «nd to obli-
gate yourself for tbe amount asked by
the promoter will be to make one of
the best investments pdasible. Wiij
you voluntarily come forward with your
nart or will you wait until the finance
committes find it necessary to look you
up. The offer to build a railroad
through here at the small consideration
asked is n business proposition that
should be promptly accepted by every
property owner, whether 'they "reside
