BIO ANNUAL INDIAN FAIR
AT WATONGA, SEPT. 12, 1J, 14
Agricultural and Industrial Exposition
of Indian Handiwork of Cheyenne
and Arapaho Tribes
Watonga, Ok la- This city la Just
now at work preparing to entertain
the Immense vrowd which la coming
to attend the second annual agricul-
tural and Industrial fair of the Chey-
enne and Arapaho Indiana, which la
to be held September 12, 13 and 14,
hud which will be attended by prac-
tically every member of the two
tribes.
The fair Is organized and conducted
by the government officials, with the
assistance of the Indians, and its prin-
cipal aim is to encourage Indians in
farming and stock raising. The Chejr*
ennes and Arupahos, whose affairs
are administered at four different
agencies, number between twenty-live
hundred and three thousand. The
agencies are located at Darlington,
Cantonment, Colony nnd Red Moon,
and the four agents, together with
three of the leading Indians, pompriwo
the executive committee charged with
Uie general management of the fair.
Premiums for all sorts of farm nnd
garden products are offered, and there
is every promise that there will be a
satisfactory exhibit of such articles
by the Indians of the four agencies la
the Cheyenne and Arapaho fluid, in
addition there will be displays of sow-
ing and cooking done by Indian wo-
men and girls. Perhaps to the whites
the most interesting exhibit will bo
that of Cheyenne nnd Arapaho buck-
skin and bead work. This display of
specimens of Indian craftamnnship
was large and attractive at Weather-
ford last year, and there is every in-
dication that the display will be even
better this year at Watonga.
As the railroads have granted a
rate of one and one-third fare for the
round trip and as there are thousands
now in Oklahoma to whom an affair of
this nature will be a distinct novelty,
Watonga expects a large crowd. Al-
ready reservations are pouring in from
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, and the
attendance promises to meet the city's
expectations.

Oklahoma City - Following a hearing
on the proposition or transferring s
township and a half from Hughe*
county to Mcintosh county. Governor
Cruce refused to issue a proclamation
calling au election ou tbe proposed
transfer, on the ground that the fig-
ures submitted by the Highes county
people, furnished by the county clerk
of that county, showed that In caae of
the transfer McIntosh county's taxable
area would be considerably larger than
that of Hughea county, which would
make the transfer impossible under
tbe new law passed by the l'JU legis-
lature.
Tbe governor announced, however,
that he would give tbe advocates of a
transfer an opportunity to show that !
the tigures submitted by the opposing WORLD'S BIGGEST FREE DAILY

Oklahoma City.—Details for "Press
Day," Saturday, September 30, at tho
Oklahoma State Fair, are now being
worked out by Horace W. Shepard,
president, and E. S. Rronson, secre-
tary, on behalf of the Oklahoma Press
association, and John Fields, president,
and I. S. Mahan, secretary, on behalf"
of the Oklahoma State Fair. It is
proposed to make the editors and pub-
lishers of the newspapers of Oklahoma
have the time of their lives. Under
tentative arrangements, the State Fair
will endeavor to make everything as
informal as possible. Officers of th9<
Press association will doubtless ar-
range for a meeting at which any busi-
ness on hand may be transacted, but
so far as the"State Fair is concerned
there will be no general gathering.
While all the details have not been
worked out the present plans will re-
quire each publisher to call at the ad-
ministration building immediately on
his arrival at the grounds and regis-
ter. It is strongly intimated that every
man registering will be given a sur-
prise of some sort, but officers of the
State Fair have little to say along this
line. They do assert, however, that the
newspaper men will be royally enter-
tained.
There will be a press bureau at the
fair where the registration books will
be kept and a competent man in charge
to provide visiting members of the
Oklahoma press as well as newspaper^
out of the state with any information
they may desire.
