posed of before giving the transac
turn publicity
The early construction of church
edifices by the Episcopal, Methodist
and ( hnstian congregations is anoth-
er evidence that the city is progres-
sing toward the attainment of the
highest attributes of a better citizen-
P> a"d keeping pace with the ad-
vantages enjoyed by all the larger
and older cities of other states. That
the moral and spiritual welfare o:'
the inhabitants, will be given the same
consideration as in the endeavor to
add to the financial interest of Bar I
llesville.
Municipal affairs are also to be im-
proved, and the various city depart-
ments will be provided with accom-
modations in keping with the spirit
of progress that has distinguished
the efforts of Bartlesville since it
was incorporated. A new modern
, u . ° tu cost f'Jitv thousand
dollars is to be erected this summer
or in the early fall. The fire, police
and several departments and a large
city hall are to be under one roof.
II the city will vote bonds for that I
purpose, local capital will promptly
purchase the same.
To keep pace with the increased
popuation of Bartlesville the Santa
railway has promised to erect a
new passenger depot, the present edi-
' being totally inadequate to ac-
commodate the passengers in and out
the city at the present time.
A half dozen prominent streets are
t" he paved, while a fine and modern
sewer system is now building.
That Bartlesville has the finest
Chautauqua program arranged for
any western circuit this season can-
not be disputed.
Every attraction is first-class,
while every speaker or lecturer, has
reputation extending from coast ••,
ast.
, The management bus made extra
"idmanly low prices for the fine se-
!'les ,Jf entertainments. They are so
I low, that none can afford to remain
!/eke's ^or "le season will be
offered for sale and can be b>u>'lit
until July 1, at $2. After that da'e,
the price will be $2.50.
While there remains no doubt of
a large number being sold, yet when
so great an inducement on the sale
of season tickets is offered up until
J"l.v 1, a larger number should I,
disposed of than has been pu.,-based
up to the present time.
One special feature of the Clnu-
tauqua, that will prove of gree. ,n-
tfiest to ladies, will be tin" demon-
strations in cookery. t During <•.■ ,-h
forenoon cooking lessons will '?,■ ;;iv.
en. I he usual charge is fifty cents
per lesson, or $2.50 for a season tick-
et. A season ticket purchase 1 uo.v
however, can be obtained for $_>.
Another special attraction will be
the lecture course by Governor John-
son of Minnesota, recognized as one
of tlie ablest speakers in Hie coun-
try- Bv purchasing a ssjsou ticket
now, for $2, each event including
Governor Johnson's lec.jre wo„ll
cost but five cents.

for

average citizen of Bartlesville sli
not take ;tn optimistic view of
situation and the fut
Bartlesville.
t. vents for the future certainly
look encouraging, and with thus.'
facts confronting public, thlPc
should be a season of great activity
in building operations, which means
employment of additional mechanics,
laborers and experts in various lines
This means' that a large sum ol
money will be in circulation and that
fortells good times ahead.
In brief to particularize, and be-
gin, alter July 26, the provisions of
the bill to remove the restrictions
from the surplus lands of the Indians
is to take effect. Thousands of acres
of lands in Washington county, and
the country contiguous to the city,
will be opened for settlement, and
the people who buy those lands will
come to Bartlesville to trade and to
spend their money. Besides the fi-
nancial benefit to be derived, the
county will be enriched by the taxes
to be collected upon the improve-!
ments, and a fine country will be
opened up and crops of cereals, fruit 1
and vegetables will be grown I > the '
advantage of the residents of the '
city and northern Oklahoma. The ^
climatic conditions and sail of thih
region will make early vegetable
gardening and fruit culture profit-
able to tlh.so who engage i , tJ,. — •
occup ■ tions, which will naturally fol-
wake of the removal of
from the land, which is
'lit time valueless except
nd gas rights, because its

tee should make its own selection this
year there is hardly a question that
Sullivan would be chosen. The mem-
bers of the committee desire a man
"a.) c;;t and get something,"
meaning thereby one who can gather
a campaign fund. And Sullivan
looks to them to be the man. The
members also believe that Mr. Bryan
is likely to take just about their view
of the question.
U is asserted by those who are
suggesting Sullivan for the place that
-Mr. Bryan would not be adverse to
Ins selection. The Nebraskan, it is
said, has been felt out on the question

There are evidences that there is a

and Sulivan than tl.e mer- truce'un-

vention. It js ierixi-ilv proposed
