This is a live, rustling,
hustling town and he who
comes within its borders
soon catches the fever of ac-
tivity. if he doesn't bring it
with him.
Puny Soper has registered
a kick because he has to go

The single staters had a

The fair will be held on the
13th, 14th and 15th of Sep-
tember, and until then sleep
will only be indulged in on
Sundays. The good Lord
commanded that one day out
of seven should 1m* a day of
rest, and that is all that Chel-
sea can att'ord. and that is a
burden upon a thousand or
more of the most active.
Chelsea knows nothing but

Notes of Two Territories.
CHELSEA FAIR ASSOCIATION.
The date for holding the
fair has been set and the
people of Chelsea are now
planning one of the biggest
events in the history of fairs
in Chelsea. Chelsea has al-
ways been noted for its push
and enterprise and it will not
permit that reputation to
wane. It will make good
this year in bigger figures
than it ever did before. It
is busy now and getting bus-
ier. It's a live wire ; it is
the warm baby; it's the
genuine article with the trade
mark I down in the bottle ; it
is the town where they are at
work wh£n other towns are
in the arms of fabled nior-
pheus ; it's the place where
3'ou move through the air
with a whiz; it's a place
where no such word as rest
is in the lexicon of a man's
lif" ; it's a placo where eter-
nal ru.-tle and hustle is the
watchword of the oldest in-
habitant ; it's the place where
the whole world will soonei1
or later come to do honor to
the people who are eternally
busy. If you feel like taking
a summer vacation, come to
Chelsea and stay till after
the fair and watch the people
work, and you will return
home with the conviction
that there is no such thing
as that tired feeling—that
it is only an hallucination
of the mind and can be cured
by coming to the only town
in the world where they have

When Indian Territory news-
papers wish to say that a man is
guilty of an inaccurate statement
they accuse him of "the William
Curtis act."
F. F. Lamb in his Okmulgee
Capital News says that he has
heard of "looping the loop" but at
Muskogee the latest thing is
'rumping the rump."
The Osage Coal and Mining
company struck a five-foot vein of
coal near Krebs at a depth of 942
feet. A new slope will be opened
up at that place in the near future.
Senator Gore in his statehood
convention speech, didn't forget
his old time phrase, "the most
splendid jewel that ever flashed on
the skeleton finger of Time," in
describing what the future state
would be.
The citizens of Beggs and vi-
cinity will celebrate in royal style

of bass and croppie ever taken out

over three pounds. Colonel Bob

flies, something unheard of among
fishermen. George Talbot the
paine day drew forth a bass, a
three pounder.
The body of Pat Hennessey, the
freighter, who was killed by out-
laws ami his outfit burned near
the present townsite of Hennessey

Three pickpockets tried to pinch
a diamond stud worn by Rough
Rider Charles Hunter of Chicka-
sha in a jam on a train at Okla-
homa City at the close of the
statehood convention. Hunter
knew what the squeeze meant and
grabbed one of the men, who was
identified in the police rogues'
gallery as Ben A. Pefferling alias
Allen, listed in all the large cities
as a thief and pickpocket.
The Snakes around Bristow are
said to be very active at present
and two meetings have been held
recently. At the last meeting,
which was held somewhere near
Bristow, all the Snakes were ad-
vised not to lease or sell their al-
lotments. The advice was based
upon a communication which had
been received from their attorney
at Washington, advising them that
he had prepared a bill for the re-
stitution of the old Snake laws and
customs.

The opportunity for the man of litt!•* mean*

tl.< Soathwest than cTer Itefore in the history of
(he nation. The chance of pr*-«*iiiptititr claim-'
orof taking up land* under government law* 1*
none anil will not return again. It is a different
kind of ojietiintf which lie- before the settler
and it* promise is at exceeding brightness. It"
be*I opportunity is showu in the tfreat South-
west where the transformation is going on md<1
where the conditions of soil and climate is In
harmony with the wann ^k'e* and temperate
winds. To the man who is not satisfied with
his condition, the Southwest has an iuvitiu*;
future.
Along the lines of the Missouri. kim-u- A
Texas Railways there are vast areas of unim-
proved lands awaiting willing hand* to make
thera yield the bountiful crops of uhich the
land is capable. There is a need of store*, fac-
tories and new btfsine** of every description.
It is the finest kind of an opportunity in the
ttne-t section of the United States. The South-
west is unexcelled for the variety ami fertility
of its ■fliu —for its climate. It* people are pn -
gre*«ive and up todate. its religion- and educa-
tional facilities are as trood/a* can be found
elsewhere. /f
The M.. K. «k T. Railway has no land4 for sale,
but is interested in building up this productive
country. It is believed that the Southwest lias
brighter prospect* and offers better opportuni-
ties than any other section. Seeing is believing.
For that reason the Southwest courts investiga-
tion of the conditions as they exist. Anyone de-
sirous to learn more of the Southwest will do
well to address George Morton. General Pas-
