Arrangements have practically
been completed for the starting of
the grade from Hooker west on
the survey made a year ago.
There are a few details of the
agreement between the citizens of
Texas county and the company to
be settled, after which the work
will start at once. There is every
■ reason at this writing to believe
that dirt will be Hying inside of
three months.
Jugde J. G. Northcutt and A.

A.s Hooker is the largest town
in the county through which the
line passes a' good share of the
work naturally falls to us and it is
•being well taken care of. Enough
has been done to know that the
town will be ready with its work
and the farmers to the west are
coming to the front handsomely
with right-of-way. We predict
that when .the township commit-
ters have all reported theproposi

thought it was a hard condition
By the present plans the base of
operations is to be transferred to

p. m. his spirit passed to be with
him who said "Suffer the little
ones to come unto me." Only a
father and mother who have born
a similar loss can know how the
fond parents will miss the merry
voice, the ringing laugh and the
patter of the little feet that once
made music in the home.
Little Gilbert was an exception-
ally sweet and winsome child and
will be greatly missed by all who
knew him, especially in the school
and Sunday school. In the school
where there is a vacancy that can
can not be filled, his bright and
gentle ways made him the pet and
pride teacher and school mates.
In-the Sunday school he was eager
to learn of the loving Jesus to
whom he has gone to await the
coming of father, mother, sister
and brother.

iny first, "Can a homestead entry-
man without title, obtain a loan
out of the permanent school fund
from the State of Oklahoma?"
and second, "Can a homestead
entrymnn obtain a loan out of said
fund from said slate for the pur-
pose of making his final proof?"
and answering the above questions,
I advise you that so far the com-
missioners^ the land office of the
state have made no rules or regu-
lations covering these subjects. In
all probability, it will be impossi-
ble for any person to obtain a loan
from said fund unless he has an
absolute title in fee, as shown by
the records.
It will be the intention of the
commissioners of the land office to
make all reasonable loans which
can be executed with safety to the
fund, and in a very short time, the
question as to whether a home-
stead entr.vman can borrow money
to prove up on his land, will be
considered by the department and
if acted upon favorably, rules and
regulations will be promulgated
covering this subject.
In the event that this is done, I
will bear your inquiries in mind
and will notify you of such action
as the commissioners may take.
Very respectfully,
Ed O. Cassidt,
•Attorney to the Commissioners.
