SENTINEL NEWS-BOY.
Vol. 1
Sentinel^ Washita County, Oklahoma, Saturday, July 8, 1905.
No. 48
On July ist John Hay, secretary of
State, passed from this life to the Great
Beyond.
Mutiny at sea, riots on land, and
defeat at every bout with the Japs is
enough to cause the Russian soldiers
to stack arms.
That batch of meat trust indictments
banded in by a Chicago Jury was
something wonderful to behold. Among
the names were to be found Armour,
Swift, Cudahy, and other exemplary (?)
citizens. Too bad!
"Another graft'' are the two words
most often seen ih the public prints of
today. Graft is talked of in connection
with the late worlds fair, in our big
canal scheme, in the Indian Territory
bond deals, and all along the line comes
the cry of graft!*graft!
Conditions in Russia, and among
Russiau subjects on the high seas, are
going from bad to worse. Mutineers
have killed the officers on board one of
the best battle ships left to the Russian
fleet and are now flying the flag of
rebellion. Other crews are being greatly
influenced by this bold action and the
Russian soldiery seem powerless to
check the spirit-of rebellion.
STATEHOOD CONVENTION.
C. G. Jones, chairman of the single j
Statehood executive committee, an-i
nonnces the official program of the
single Statehood convention to be held '
in Oklahoma City J uly xa. The address j
of welcome will be delfverd by I. N.
Hotcomb. Addresses will be delivered
by Senators Beverage of Indiana* Bailey
of Texas, Warner of Missouri, and
Congressman Curtis, Scott add Calder-
he ad, of Kansas, Stephens of Texas,
Hamilton of Michigan, and John W.
Noble of St Louis, ex-Secretary of the
Interior.
MEETING OP TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES.
A meeting of the trustees of the
several townships of the county is
hereby called to meet at the court
room at the court house in Cordell on
Saturday, July 15, at 10 o'clock • m.,
to effect an organisation of good ]
roads. Every trustee is requested
to be present, as it is hoped to or-1
ganize and put forth a plan whereby
the county commissioners and the
trustees may act together in giving
the county a system of good roads.
D. W. Phillips,
Trustee for Cordell Township.
The Farmers Gin, Grain and Fuel
Company, of Sentinel, effected tempor
ary organization last Saturday and have
been dofctg some very efiNsHw
work the past few days through a strong
soliciting committee. It is to be a
chartered institution, sufficiently safe-
guarded to prevent the control of stock
or abuse of power by any one man, or
set of men, with membership restricted
to farmers. The News-Boy hopes to
see this enterprise materialize in time
for early fall work.
The anniversary pienic at Port, on
July 15, bids fair to rival all previous
efforts An interesting program has
been prepared. Judge Davidson will
deliver the opening address, followed
by Ross West. Profs. Coffey, Darnell
and other good speakers. Ball games,
bronk riding, good music by Bradtield
Bros1 Orchestra. Good shade and
water, plenty for man and stock. There
will be entertainment for old and young.
Don't forget your lunch baskets, and
come early, prepared to enjoy the day.
Everybody come.

ing, convention will be organized on

Editor New Boy* In\he IMews-Boy of
June 24 there was a paragraph which
*aid, the citizens of Russia pay $14,000-
000 a year to the support of the Czar—
that's nothing to worry about, the
American herd pay more than $3,000,-
000 a year to the support of John D.
Rockefeller. S. R. 8tbvs*s.

FOR BETTER ROADS.
We are informed by the Commission-
ers that they will levy the limit of tax
for the road and bridge fund and that
they hopa the several townaite boards
better highways. We are especially
pleased to note that they are taking
this action regarding the most impor-
tant part of their work. There may be
extravagance in levying taxes along
some lines, but so long as we are in
need of bridges to make passable the
streams of the county, the commission-
ers cannot and will not be censured for
increasing the rate to such an extent as
will in the course, of a year or two place
a bridge over every canyon and stream
in the county so that our people may
travel in any direction at will. The
township boards can aid this good work
by levying the limit in the township
and thus create a fund sufficient to
make all necessary crossings over
streams and canyons too small to call
for a county bridge.—Beacon.
Latest report from up the line says
track laying on the Orient is finished to
Cantonment. This leaves only 25 miles
of roadbed south to Thomas, on which
span a strong grading force is now at
work. As to the work at aud near the
town of Thomas we here give the state-
ment of an eye-witness:
We inspected part of the Orient grade
at Thomas. Sunday, and found the work
being pushed as rapidly as possible.
They are short of men and could use a
great many more at wages ranging from
•1.50 to $2.00 per day. There is less
than two miles of grade between Thomas
and the Canadian to be finished yet.
The yards at Thomas will be finished in
about a week. Mr. Adams, who is
grading the yards, will then move to
Deer Creek. He has the privilege of
grading seven miles more south from
Thomas, which shows that the Orient
intends to build tts own track from
there to Clinton. This will probably
cause them to get here later in the sea-
son than they would if they used the
Frisco trrck.—Clinton Journal, June 24.
