C. O. D. PAT.
At L.M.
After years of patient waiting on the
part of the people of Indian Territory,
at last statehood in in night. On Mon-
day the constitution and election returns
were placcd in the hands of President
Roosevelt by Gov. Frantz and Judge
Clayton. After the formal presentation
President Roosevelt announced that he
would issue his proclamation on Satur-
day, the sixteenth of this month, ad-
mitting Oklahoma to the sisterhood of
states.
It has been a little over fourteen
years since the Dawes commission first
came to this country with the announce-
ment that the lands of the Five Civiliz-
ed Tribes were to lie allotted and a new
state created here. Then it was ex-
pected that four years would be suffi-
cient to accomplish the object sought,
but the work that should have been
accomplished in that time has been
drug through fourteen torous years,
of treaties, enrollment, allotment, con-
tests, and a fight for single and double
statehood. The government haa |>ent
millions in their work here, while citzens
of the five tribes have sjient untold
thousands in securing the alloting of
lan Is which already belonged to them
and the government told them would be
allotted to them without coat, while the
people of the two territories have s|ient
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
holding conventions, sending delega-
tions and maintaining lobbies at Wash-
ington to bringabout the desired result.
But now all is over and statehood with
its attendant blessings of self govern-
ment and stable laws and land tenures
are here at last.
Thrice welcome is our day of emanci-
pation.
Should Ctltkrato
There is a general feeling among the
citizens of Rogers county and Clare
more that a proper celebration should
be held on the 16th of this month when
statehood is ushered in and the newly
elected officers are sworn in.
It is conceded by all that the celebra-
tion should be held at Claremore, but
just the manner of celebration to be
held there ia a great difference of
opinion.
The one that strikes us as the most
feasible is to have all our business
houses close from 11 to 1 and all meet
at the opera house and hold appropriate
exercises to the occasion when the
officers of the county and township can
be sworn in.
Then in the afternoon have some
races at the fairgrounds and a foot ball
match and other sports.
The celebration to close at night with
a banquet to be tendered the new
officers.

form courtesy without partality; there-
fore, be it
Resolved, That the Bar Association
of Claremore extend to him its sincere
' gratitude for his uniform kindness and
impartial treatment of all who have
1 had occasion to appear in his court and
regret that we will be compelled to
sever our pleasant relations with so
true a friend and impartial jurist and
learned lawyer, made necessary by the
abolishing of this court.
Resolved, That a copy of these reso-
lutions be delivered to Judge l.uman K.
Parker, and that the same be spread

Red Letter Day For Oklahoma.
On the day that President Roosevelt
signs the proclamation that makes Okla-
homa a state, "Red Letters" will be
mailed from all over Oklahoma to thous-
ands of people in every state in the
U nion, advising them of the event.
The Oklahoma Immigration and In-
dustrial Development Association, com-
posed of the commercial organizations
and representative business and profes-
sional men of the state, has been orga-
nized for the purpose of exploiting and
advertising the resources and opportu-
nities of Oklahoma, with a view to in-
creasing the already large and steady
influx of new settlers to our state.
the statehood proclamation being issued
by President Roosevelt.
The board proved themselves to be
alive to the interesta of the tax payers
of the county.
There were four bidders present and
Geo. D. Barnard, of St. Louis, was the
successful bidder. The prices were
about thirty per cent, lower than the
prices at which many of the other new
counties of the sti-.te have contracted
for. In all IH42.50 worth of books and
supplies were ordered. The total amount
vf the bill is only a little over on<>-half
of the smallest order given by any of
the new counties.
The Progress waa authorized to print
the blanks needed to start business,
County Attorney Hall being ordered to
select the blanks needed. A goodly
portion of the blanks needed will be
ready for delivery when statehood takes
effect on the 16th of this month.
"Eyerlattlafl Devil's Audio*
Manager Charles H. Yale says the
"Devil's Auction" is the best playing
piece of theatrical property in America
and gives the following reasons to sub-
stantiate the claims:
First, it has been on the road contin-
uously for twenty-five seasons.
Second, it has always pleased its many
thousands of patrons throughout the
country.
Third, it has always been kept up to
the times with novelties and innova-

The past week has been a streneous ^
one in banking circles in the east and it 9
has naturally had its effect on the banks
of the west, but fortunately the situa-
tion is easing up in the money centers
and everything is expected to resume
its normal condition in a short time.
There has been no real grounds for
the stringency, but it was brought
about by wild speculation and the result
tions, making it each season a new per-! of the rottenness of the management
formance, simply retaining the old name j of some of the large corporations,
as a trade mark. I legitimate business and concerns were

Fifth, the theater going public are
always sure of enjoying a pleasant
evening's entertainment and seeing
what the management advertises.
The one reason why everybody should
see it this year is that the 26th edition
of the "Devil's Auction" is new in its
entirety.
Manager Davis, of Windsor Opera
House, gives his personal guarantee
that the "Devil's Auction" is one of if
not the best attraction he has booked
for this season. At Windsor Opera

"Zeke. The Country Boy.''
One of the particularly bright features
of the rural play, "Zeke, the Country
Boy," which will have its first produc-

5th, is the clear cut work of Mr. J. W.
Carson, the leading comedian of the
organization. Mr. Carson, while fre-
quently leaning in the farcial, never
descends to "horse-play," but confines
his laughter producing efforts to legiti-
mate and refined methods, and thus
gains the applause from the critic's
seat in the parquet, as well as the hand
clappings from the family circle and
the shouts of approval from the occu-
pants of the 1 >enches in the gallery

Thousands of special letter heads up-1 gtrate hi„ undoubted ,bi,it „e ha8 .
on which is printed matter descriptive 8in ^ of unu8ual gweetneg8 .nd
of Oklahoma and its advantages, are
being prepared by Secretary Jas. C.
Jones at the Association headquarters
at Pauls Valley, Okla. These letter
head, with envelopes also bearing ad-
vertising matter, all printed in red, will
be distriyuted to the people of the state
through the commercial organizations.
Every public spirited citizen is expected
to write to ten or more friends outside
the state, upon this "Red Letter"
stationery, telling of the wonderful
opportunities afforded by the new state
in every line of businesa, agricultural,
mechanical and industrial.
All of theae letters are to be mailed
on the day that President Roosevelt
issues the proclamation admitting Okla-
homa to the Union. The Association
hopes by this plan to thoroughly cover
the United States and thereby attract
many new settlers to the new state.
The Inauguration Committee ia un-
dertaking a great work for Oklahoma
and it is hoped that the hearty support
and co-operation of all the people will
be given to this, its first effort.

John Dale died last Saturday, five

large sums of money are needed to
move crops and the stringency in ready
money in the east has made it hard to
obtain, so much so that reserve agents
of the bankers of the new state have
refused to ship money to local banks
for their needs, and to bridge the situa-
tion in Oklahoma, Acting-Governor
Filson, has issued a proclamation de-
claring the six business days of this
week holidays, but the banks of the
territory were left without this protec-
tion; but a few of the banks have
limited the amount to be drawn daily
to protect their cash on hand, but
Claremore banks are taking care of all
of their customers and have sufficient
money on hand to handle the usual
volumn of business despite the fact
they have large amounts tied up in
sight exchange which is not available
just at present. This si>eaks well for
our financial institutions and shows
that they have been conducting their
business along conservative lines.
Death of L H Moore
Leo A. Moore received a telegram
Wednesday night stating that his father,
L. H. Moore, had died that evening at
five o'clock, of pneumonia, at his home
in Gentry, Ark. The deceased and wife
left here Tuesday of last week to drive
overland to their homo. He had liecn
suffering from a severe cold before
coming here which was not improved
by the trip and he was sick a few days
after his arrival home, but had sufficient-
ly recovered to go out to his farm,
where he took additional cold and was
confined to his bed with the above
result. The deceased was 64 years old
and had been married forty years to
the faithful wife who survives him.
He was of a sunny disposition and saw
the best side of life and was at all times
a genial companion. He was an artist
of considerable ability, being es|>ecially
strong in sculptor work, the heads on
his buildings here being a fair sample
of his work. He was also ready with
the pencils, being an excellent cartoon-
ist. He was a man of many parts and
a genuine town builder, having spent
many years in that work and was
heavily interested in town property in
the north. Leo and family left for
Gentry, on the Frisco, Wednesday
night. A large circle of friends here
extend sincere sympathy to the bereav-
ed family.
