PRACTICAL
the
ma City
The house and the senate enacted
into law the two measures which pro-
vide that the permanent seat of gov-
ernment of Oklahoma shall be located
in Oklahoma City after a session
which lasted nineteen days.
Lieutenant Governor George Bella-
my, president of the senate, arose
from a sick bed at the Threadgill ho-
tel and rode to the senate chamber in
an automobile where he signed en-
grossed copies of the two bills that lo-
cate the seat of government at Okla-
homa City., Speaker W. B. Anthony
signed the two bills In the house
about the same time and a committee
eomirsed of Senator J. B. Thompson
and Representative Dan W. Peery
carried the tw® bflls to Governor
Charles N. Haskell at the Lee-Huck-
ins Hotel for his signature. He has
fifteen days in which to approve or
disapprove the bills.
Historical Pen.
Speaker Anthony signed the capltol
of Speaker Pro Tern. N. J. Johnson,
the house then adjourned sine die.
President Bellamy, who was warned
by his physicians not to leave his
bed, where he had been for several
days witih pneumonia, almost collaps-
ed after he had signed the oapitol
bills In the senate. He was half car-
ried to a waiting automobile and
whirled back to his hotel and his bed.
The senate then adjourned sine die.
Unless the public spirited citLtens
of Oklahoma contribute to the fund
Govrnor-elect Lee Cruce will be inau-
guarted into office as the second gov-
ernor of the great young state with-
out ostentation or show. The house
passed a resolution providing for an
expenditure of $5,000 to defray neces-
sary expenses of the inauguartion
ceremonies, but the senate voted the
measure down. The Joint committee
from the house and the senate, then
fore is left without funds with which
j to prepare for the inauguration of
the governor.
STATE LAND SELLS IN GREER.
Selling of state lands in Greer
county is to be commenced at Man-
gum on Friday, December 30. There
will be an Interruption on account of
/ the new year holiday, and the sale
■' will be concluded Tuesday. There are
{ ninety-six tracts for sale, mainly in
the common school indemnity and
university classes.
Much of the land to be sold here is
good ,and the majority of the tracts
are well improved. According to re-
ports from other counties this means
that the lessees will in bearly all in-
stances become landlords. Lessees, it
is saidv take their places in ninety
per cent of sales. Occasionally a les-
see refuses a tract because the ap-
praisement is too high. There are
sales list for the county approximate-
ly twenty-five tracts either entirely
unimproved or used for pasture alone.
The appraisements range from $250
to $3,200 a quarter section.
Lessees and all others interested
slhould remember that these sales are
uniformly held in the morning, and
are usually over by 11 o'clock a. m.
The afternoon is devoted to making
■contracts and records. In all cases
where there are improvements the
bidders must deposit ten per cent of
the appraised value of improvements.
"This is called qualifying for bidding.
A purchaser pays five per cent of the
purchase price cash in any event, but
not less than $50. This ruling is made
in the interests of uniformity.
The school land sales force is head-
ed by OR. E. Wood of Shawnee, an able
and experienced official of the depart-
ment. The force may be slightly
•changed from its present standing,
but it now consits of superintendent
Wood, Assistant Superintendent R.
3D. Trammell. Cashier G. W. Black-
ard, tenSographer L. T. Babcock and
Auctioneer Fred A. Speakman. The
sales are in Beckham counts this
week. The Greer county sales will he
abe first after the Ciristm.n holiday.
THE BIG ROPING CONTEST.
The big free attraction, roping con-
test and broncho busting closed
Mangum yesterday after two days of
fun. It "Was a decided success from
start to finish and good crowds were
present both days. On the first day
Floyd Flynn won first money in rop-
ing in 1:20, Dick Duvall second in 1:25
and Ellison Ramsey third in 1:30
Roy Mays of Erick rode the worst
horse, but the mule threw the rider,
saddle and all. On yesterday, the
second day, there was more people
than the managers could take care of,
everybody made good time and it was
pronounced a clean thing. Ellison
Ramsey won first money in the rop-
ing contest in 39 seconds; Bill Legan
of Texola won second money in 44
seconds and Roy Mabee third money
in 49 seconds. The roping and riding
was all good, everything thoroughly
satisfactory to all contestants and ev-
erybody pleased with the attraction
The management relied largely on the
tSar for their advertising and the
crowd came.
LARGE SALE OF COTTON.
O. L. Gibbons, one of Mangum's
leading cotton buyers, has just closed
a sale of 1300 bales of cotton, 300 to
Ryland-Beall & Co., of Wichita Falls,
and 1000 bales to Weill-Nevil'.e & Co.,
of Oklahoma City. This is the largest
single sale of cotton ever made in
Mangum. Mr. Gibbons has handled
during the cotton season in Mangum
over 10,000 bales of cotton. Mangum
this year will receive over 30,000 bales
of cotton, over 25,000 bales of which
is street cotton. This is a record for
any town to be proud of, no matter
how great or small. Witn the price
ranging from 13c to 14%c per pound,
it will be seen that Mangum has
handled some money th's fall. Figure
30,000 bales at $70 per bale and see
-what you get.
RETURNS FROM SOUTHERN TRIP
The "awful" Bill Mitchell returned
from his Southern trip yesterday af-
ternoon, in good health, in good spir-
its and the better for it. Mr. Mitch-
ell visited Austin, San Anitonio and
Corpus Christl, with G. W. Winburne,
D. D. Tilley and J. W. Galbraeth, Mr,
Mitchell leaving the party at Corpus
Christ! and returning to Mangum, the
others going to Brownsville. Mr.
Mitchell says he is a fast one and pret-
ty hard to catch, but Tilley, Winburne
and Galbreath are too fast for him, so
ae quit them cold and returned to the
best town in the vorld. -
■Sheriff S .H. Tittle returned from
Calaremore yesterday where he went
to get Tom Mabry charged with sell-
ing whiskey to a minor. Mabry is
now in jail awaiting trial. It will be
remembered that Mabry testified
against several p-rsons charging
them with selling him liquor at
former term of county court, 'Mabry
stating that he usually used about a
quart per day.
William E. Jenkins, who died in the
hospital at Kansas City this week,
and for whose relatives we advertised
on yesterday, is a cousin of Bob oJnes
of this city. Mir. Jones at once wired
the undertaker at Fansas City, who
reports that he is holding the body
for the relatives. Mr. Jenkins' father
lives in Grand Junction, Colorado, and
has a sister in Amarillo.
Pull together, brethren. We are all
here for the same purpose. Then live
and let live. Tfoe best way to build up
a town Is for each and every man to
pull together and not strive to rend
and tear down. All the residents of a
town are partners' not opponents In
all likelihood the more business done
by /our rival the more you will do.
Every merchant who treats his cus-
tomers honestly and fairly will get
his share and the more business that
run be secured by united effort, the
better It will be for all.
U the good people of Mangum will
Hear with us just a little while. In a

Hon. G A- Brown returned yester-
day from HolMs. where he closed a
a tens of the district court
Senator H. D. Denton arrived in
the city last night from Oklahoma
City, where he has been attending
th special session of the legislature.
Senator Denton was a member of the
Senate Location Committee and de-
serves much credit for the good
work accomplished. The Senator left
for his home in Hollis this morning.
J. A. Roberts, a prominent citizen
of Granite, is in Mangum today pay-
ing taxes and attending to other bu-
siness Mr. Roberts also eorended
his subscription to the Star for three
years.
Hon. C. M. Thacker arrived iast ev-
ening from a trip to St Louis. where
he argued a case before the I'nited

The chief difference bet
college curriculum In the days of our
fathers and that of the present time
Isthat the training of former days di-
rected Itself only to the theoretical
while that of the present time combin-
er the theoretical and practical. In the
truest sense the courses offered In
the western colleges aim to fit the un-
dergraduate for the realities of life
when he no longer has the protection
of his alma-mater. In no better way
caq this blending of the old and the
new requisites be Illustrated by call-
ing attention to the work In geology
at the University of Oklahoma. The
future geologists receive thorough In-
struction in the rudiments of the
science in the lecture rooms, but this
teaching is supplemented by practical
work in the fields during vacation
time. Each summer the advanced stu-
dents go to distant states with U. S.
geological survey parties and there
spend several weeks mapping eleva-
tions and recording topography. In
this way they earn part of the expense
of their education.
Parties are also sent out during the
Christmas vacation. In about two
weeks a number of students will leave
the University in charge of Prof. Tay-
lor and Mr. E. Z. Carpenter to spend
the holidays working on the "Nowata
quadrangle" in northeastern Oklaho-
ma. Those who will compose the par-
ty are: Prof. Taylor, E. Z. Carpenter,
Frank Buttram, Robert Wood, Cleve-
land Thompson, Jerry Newby, John
Herald and Lawrence Trout.
Speakln' about the new editor, soma
say lie la thar with the pen, some say
he U an bonest man. some say he Is
a factor for good and will br a Iteneflt
to Mangum; on thr other hand, some
say they don't like him, mjiuc wouder
If he ever takes a drink, while some
few—at least one predkt that h«>
will get - - kicked.
Now, ail theae things remain to be
seen. Considering everything, that
there Is no news and that these chang-
es com<- slowly, we think the Star is
an awful good newspaiier; in fact,
ihe best daily paper in Mangum. We
know that new editor Is ambitious to
succeed, that he has the welfare of
Mangum and southwest Oklahoma In
his heart, that he wants to be right,
and that lie has the nerve to stand for
the right when he knows what It Is
and to speak his convictions; we
know that the Star circulates and that
It is being operated by men who real-
ize that Mangum must have a newspa-
per. and sent uiwn its mission each
week .each day, in the hope and belief
that it will litlp every man. woman
and child In dear old Greer county,
the best county In the world.
Further, we have no time nor space
to iu>y attention to little things and
don't want to quarrel; we know we
■ it trying to do good; we know we
are doing it; we know that no man is
going to kick ye editor.
Just give us -oh, give us. a little
time; remember the Star is doing
good for everybody whether you be-
lieve it or not, and that all these good
things come slowly, Give us time,
help us, forgive us, forbear with us—
and see.
