Under good and reasonable circumstances which is useless
to explain here. We have decided to quit handling
the Sfierwin-Williams Paints. We have just received a
full and complete line'*"of B. P. S. paints, made by the Pat-
terson-Sargent Paint Co., of Cleveland, Ohio, which we
know will give better satisfaction than the S.-W. paints.
We also carry a full line of Building Material, Barbed

of anything in our line, give us a trial.

The Route Fpr Greer County.
Erick Enterprise: It we should draw
a line on the map from Vernon, Tex-
as, to Miama, Texaa, a distance of
about 200 miles we will find that the
line will run through the long way of
the county and traverse more of the
county's rich and fertile lands than
by any other route and put the north-
ern and southern extremes in close
touch. A line like this would come
by the way of Altus, Mangum, Jester
and Erick and would bring a greater
portion of the county in easy touch
with an outlet, and to a great extent
at least, eliminate the necessity of
county division. This route would al-
so contribute largely to our taxable
values as there would be about 90 to
100 miles of the line within the coun-
ty limits. Then, an extension (which
must come sooner or later) of the
Mangum branch west to some point
on the Ft. Worth and Denver road
would put all of this vast domain in
easy touch with the outside and the
county seat and with the unlimited
resources of Greer county and her
voluminous productions of the varied
kinds and qualities, a great city, or
commercial center would spring up
within borders and give the farmers
unlimited market for their produce.
With the ultimate accomplishment Of
these enterprises, we will flnd that
Greer county has great and wonderful
possibilities. *
FOURTH DEATH OF SERIES.
As Result of Estes Tragedy Ne'ar Mar-

Suicide.
Lawton, Okla., April 24.—As the re-
sult of the tragedy near Marshall. Ok-
lahoma, In which James Estes, a
prosperous farmer of that place kill-
ed himself and daughter, fired the
house and then shot himself, another
name has been added to this appall-
ing list of unnatural (deaths'
Despondent -from constant worry
over the tragic death of his brother-in
law, who recently killed his wife,
daughter and himself at Marshall, A.
D. Moody, a prominent farmer of the
Elgin neighborhood, shot himself
through the body yesterday, and was
dead within an hour. His eldest son
17 years of age, left his home last De-
cember on account of family troubles,
and this also bore heavily upon the
mind of the father. Moody was about
45 years of age, and wa8 the father
of five boys, the youngest being about
10 years, of age. His wife died four
years ago. He and the boys have
been living on a homestead near El-
gin, for three years. He has .a brother
living at Blackwell and 'one at Mar-
shall. „

Guthrie, Okla., April 24.—It was as-
certained today that Congressman
McGuire went to Washington, espe-
cially for the purpose of removing
the scalp of John Renshaw, district
court clerk in the fifth district under
Judge J. k. Beauchamp. This was
the statement today, made here by a
prominent republican politician of
Garfield county who seemed to un-
derstand what he was talking about.
For several years", continued the
speaker, "McGuire has been trying to
get Beauchamp's scalp and now he
believes that by going after Renshaw
he can also get Beauchamp. From
what can be learned, the only thing
against either Beauchamp or Renshaw
Is the fact that they are too close,
practically, to Dennis Flynn."

FOR IRRIGATION
ENGINEERS HAVE EXAMINED
WESTERN TIER OF COUNTIE3 .
IN TERRITORY.
One Project Provides for Storage of
the Flood Waters of North Fork
the Flow of Otter«and a Part
of Elk Creek. I
Officials of the reclamation services
at Washington say that within the
next fall all the work of the field
ed for at least one Irrigation project
in western Oklahoma, and that by
next fall all the work o( tthe field
agents will have been completed. The
officials say that when the desired
data has been obtained by the en-
gineers nothing will prevent the pro-
gress of the Irrigation work. Oklaho-
honia has a fund of more than .two
and one-half million dollars for recla-
mation purposes. Following Is what
a member of the bureau has to say
about the work:
"The season for field work will end
about October 1st, and by th9 time
all of the irrigable territory of Okla-
homa will have been covered," said
the special agent, Mr. Blanchard, of
that bureau. "The engineers have
thoroughly gone over Western Okla-
homa, Including portions of Beaver,
Day, Comanche, Greer, Kiowa, Roger
Mills, Washita, Woods, Woodward
counties, and several irrigation pro-
jects may appear impracticable, ow-
ing to too great a cost or to physical
disqualification, such as lack of suit-
able foundations, too great width at
proposed dam sites, the unreliable
character of the streams Involved and
shortage of waters, but there Is no
doubt that in certain instances diffi-
culties of this character can be over-
come.
"The facilities for the storage of
flood waterg in Oklahoma are not
good, owing to the fact that In that
section there are few natural dam
sites. The water supply is also unre-
liable as the great majority of streams
which it is proposed to utilize are dry
during at least four or five months of
the year, while their freshets are val-
uable, both In the amount of the wa-
ter they discharge and the frequency
with which the discharge occur.
"One of the projects under consid-
eration provides for the s^rage of
the flood waters of the North Fork of
Red river, the "flow of Otter creek and
a part of the flow of Elk creek. This
project is regarded as more feasible
than any of the other projects sug-
gested for that part of Oklahoma.
Many arguments have been presented
favoring the utilization of the over-
flow of, streams having sandy beds,
but the engineers say this is not to
be recommended except in the case
of rivers having large drainage basins
and otherwise favorably situated for
carrying a large overflow. They have
found that as a general rule the wa-
ter contained In deep and sandy
stream beds, though large In amount
percolates but slowly and that the
yield, if brought to the surface, would
be small and secured at great, cost.
"The engineers have reported that
at some points In Oklahoma irrigation
by the use of windmills and wells has
been undertaken and that while nec-
essarily applicable to small areas only
such methods have proven satisfac-
tory . The depth to underground wa-
ter throughout western Oklahoma is
variable and uncertain, and, therefore,
this method can be practiced In cer-
tain localities otfly. However, it is
not resorted to as widely as would
be expected. In many sections where
it is pot employed it could be made to
afford limited relief In time of drought
the recent president of the Oklahoma | nnd be of great ^ Qn ^ fnrm ftt
Livestock Sanitary board, announced
for himself today that Bolton will of-
fer himself to be scalped at the "101"
ranch by Chief Geronimo. Bolton la

offer. He also says that the recent
