NEW FRISCO BOOKLET OUT
The new Frisco booklet, issued by
the Passenger Traffic Department of
the Frisco lines, advertising Clare-
more as a Health Reort, the Foun-
tainhead of Radium Water, is now out
and the publicity department of the
Claremore Commercial Club is in re-
ceipt of three thousand copies of the
booklet for distribution throughout
the country. Many estimable adver-
tising booklets have been gotten out
on Radium water, but with the pub-
lication of this one the Frisco has far
exceeded any of the others in beauty
of design and contents. It is made
very attractive by many very clear
cuts of the different scenes and points
of interest in and near Claremore and
is filled with interesting and instruc-
tive reading matter, setting forth the
merits of Radium water, the water
that never fails. The first to be seen
in the booklet is the one of the Clare-
more canyon which you all know is a
beautiful nature scene. The cut is
followed up with a very interesting
"Story of the Radium Water,4' set-
ting forth the facts that the wells
were discovered by Geo. Eaton in
1903, who had formed a stock com-
pany and was sinking a hole for oil or
gas. The water was struck at 1,100
feet and bubbled out of the top of the
hole, causing further drilling opera-
tions to be ceased. The'article goes 011
farther to say that the first bath house
was erected in 1904 and another in
1905 and a third in 1900. On the
whole, the article is an interesting
one from many viewpoints. Cuts of
the first Radium well, the Bungalow,
Bath House, Frazier Park, Claremore
Mound, Lake Park, Mason Hotel, Se-
quoyah Hotel, First National Bank,
Claremore Lake, Mendenrall's Hotel
and Bath House, State School, Ra-
dium Wells Bath House, and Sanitar-
ium Bath House also appear.
The reading matter in the booklet,
aside from being very instructive, is
, also very interesting and may be ex-
pected to bring many bathers to Clare-
more, afflicted with various diseases
for which Radium water is known to
be good.

PUBLICITY MAN GONE
At a meeting of the publicity com-
mittee of the Claremore Commercial
Cluh Monday night it was decided to
discontinue the services of W. Hugh
Stark as publicity man, for the city
of Claremore. He left the same night
for points in the western part of the
state.
It'seems that some of the men in
the Commercial Club did not think
that enough work was being done ny
the publicity man to justify the pay-
ing him one hundred and fifty dollars
per month. As he was unwilling to
work for less, the Commercial Club
severed their connection with him. As
yet they are undecided as to what will
be done next in the publicity move-
ment, but it is thought that the thing
will be let rest for awhile, until the
right sort of a man can be found who
will put Claremore before the public
in a more dashing style. In the mean-
time, in order that the work l>e not
dropped entirely, it is thought that a
local man will be paid a small amount
for sending news stories into the news-
papers.

A LETTER FROM JACK TO HIS
CLAREMORE FRIENDS
The following is a letter from En-
sign Jack M. Kates, who is at the
present time aboard the United States
war ship, the "Utah," which is sta-
tioned at Culebra, in the Canal Zone,
which we think will prove interesting
to our many readers. As he is very
busy and has not time to write a per-
sonal letter to you all, he takes this
means of letting you know that he has
not forgotten you and would appreci-
ate a letter from you all.
U. S. S.'Utah, at Anchor,
Culebra, U. S. Wl.
' January 22nd, 1914.
Dear Claremore Friends,—
We arrived here about the fifteenth
inst., from Hampton Roads, after a
splendid voyage. I have been very
busy and take this means of letting
you know of the place. Culebra is
near Porto Rico and gets its name
from the small natural canal which di-
vides the island in half. It is a good
harbor, whicn is of some military im-
portance since it would act as a base
for a fleet operating in the South in
time of war. It is owned by the gov-
ernment and is a National Bird Re-
serve. The natives are of the Porto
Rican type, mixed Spanish, Ipdian
and black. They speak a Spanish di-
alect, which resembles more the quack-
ing of a duck than the sonorous lan-
guage of Spain. The island is very
fertile in non-productive plants and
the natives are very poor, but they do
not seem to care. A merchant is a
man in the shade of a tree with piles
of oranges and bananas in front of
him. He don't care whether you buy
or not. Fruit is very cheap and evi-
dently supported the people.
I have been on duty much of my
time here and have been ashore but
three times. Once I took 150 sailors
to go swimming and got coral stickers
and urchins in my feet. Another time
we arose at 3 a. m. and went ashore
in force to attack the marines who had
fortified the island. We were, so de-
clared the observers, annihilated be-
fore we reached the shore, but we
held mock battles all over the hills
and found out what real war would
be like. Then we went back to the
ship and I stood watch 'till noon. In
the afternoon, we had school until
2:30, when another officer and I went
ashore on liberty. We walked to
Flaming Beach—by the way, the
names here remind one of those in
"Robinson Crusoe" and "Swiss Family
Robinson"—Scorpion Point Red and
Clift Bay, etc.
Flanging Beach is wonderful. The
surf is grand and there is lots of sand,
not the hard sand of the North, but
the fsoft coral sand of the Tropice.
There we swam until six when we re-
turned to the landing, eating innumer-
able oranges and bananas and drink-
ing the milk out of the cocanuts. Then
we went back to the ship and saw a
j moving picture show and then turned
in at 9 o'clock, after an 18 hour day,
but happy to rise this a. m. at 5
o'clock; so you see sleep and work an(l
play take all of our time. We expect
to be in great physical shape in the
six months that we will be at anchor
here, if work, sleep, swimming and
fruit can do the trick. The climate is
wonderful down here, just like spring.
The Southern Cross hangs in a sky
studded with many mure brilliant
stars than we see at home which
makes a night out of doors very beau-
tiful down hen.-.
As for work, we drill all morning;
have school in the afternoon and phys-
ical exercises, usually swimming, at-
though we often take long walks in
the afternoon. Then there are the
watches, letter writing and sleep. We
leave here Saturday for Cuba, then to
Mexico. In five more months will be
back in the United States, which, be-
lieve me, is the ONLY COUNTRY.
We have all had our heads shaved so
we resemble a colony of Monks. It is
clearer and healthier and there is no
one to see.
Please spread this among my friends
for 1 have tried to set forth in this
general letter the things that I would
have written you all, and remember
there is nothing I like better than to
get a letter from home, no matter how
short. Your friend.
Jack Kates.
