FRENCH COACH STALLION.
The French Coach Stal'ion recefvej
a few days ago by H. H. Wilson from
bia firm McLaughlin Bros. i> perhaps
the Ibest horse of the kind ever seen
in Greer county and the kind is a'so
the best, combining size 'or all ordi-
nary purposes with tne speed style
and beauty of the standard bred. He
may be seen at the Black & Renard
barn and all who admire such stock
are invited to see him there.„He is
for sale and those desiring to promote
the horse interest could not do be>-
ter than to invest in a few shares in
ttie company that takes him.
HON. ROBERT L. OWEN,
•emocratic Candidate for U. S-Senate.
The subject of this sketch is a Vir-
ginian and Democrat by birth and an
Indian Territorial)- by choice having
been a resident and an active worker
in its political; religious and financial
affairs for years. As a democrat ne
has served the party in many ways;
as an organizer in time of need; as aa
editor in time of educational wants,
as a delegate in national convention;
as a delegate in national conventions
looking alter the interest of Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory. He was a
member of the l>emocratic Congress-
ional Campaign and Democratic Na-
tional Cofmmittee. In the consuls >t
the party he stands high arri when-
ever the people of the two territories
want anything done they call on Bod
Owen. And he never fails to go for
his people believing that their wants
and necessities are what build the
atate. He Is a modest, kindly, chria
tian gentleman in every day walk, and
in the city of .Muscogee you will find
Bo one more liked, more appreciative
and more deserving of a't the good you
can say of him than be. The next six
years will be the most important in
the history of our state. It is in
those years that the grandest part of
a nation m made, and It Is to* our
country's interest that we send men
there who will see to it that we get
the things that make us great. In the
past years it mattered not what th«

j truth and fiction that has appeared
in print, regarding the operations of
the rebel river during the last two
years.
The Colorado desert, like Palestine,
lies below sea level. In climate and
soil it is a duplicate of Egypt. Like
Egypt, ancient Chaldea and Babylon,
it is a barren without the artifical ap-
plication of water through irrigation,
and like those countries it is wonder-
fully (productive when irrigated. Al-
falfaja cut from eight to ten times a
year. Grapes .re picked any Ume
from June to January.
This country found in the Colo-
rado river all that the Nile is to Egypt,
and colonization was begun here in
190r.
Development was rapid, ami today
ten thousand reside in that part ot
the former desert known as Imperial
valley.
The lowest farm in Imperial halley
is 124 f^et below sea levtl. The
present level of Salton sea is 200 feet
below sea 'evel. It wold have been
necessary for the water to rise 76
feet more, requiring five or six years
of uninterrupted flow, to cover the
lowest farm.
Statements that farms and towns
have been submerged are untrue. One
farm cottage remote from other set-
tlements on undeveloped land was
submerged, and that is the only case
of the kind.
Wide publicity of the story of the I
rebellious river is doing the hardy
pioneers who are redeeming the des-
ert an Injustice, and in fairness to
them it is hoped that this brief state-
ment of actual conditions will be giv-

was one never
equalled since proud Cleopatra sail d
ed down the perfumed lotus bearing
Nile in her gilded pageant to meet
Alarc Anthony while the world stood
agap at ihe unheard of triumph.
To describe tlhe bride's costume
would beggar the English 'anguage
and the human imagination falls faint
and feeble tefore the herculeaa task.
From the everlasting stars she stole
the glittering diamonds tnat decked
her alabaster brow and hid in the
styglan umbrage of her hair. From
the fleecy graceful clouds she snared
the marvelous drapery that floated
like a dream about her sylph-like form
and from the very Peri at Heaven's
gate she snatched the match'ess grace
that carried her like an enchanted
wraith thro the hymeneal scene.
The array of presents spread In the
parlors of the Templeton residence
had been unexcelled in lavish ex-
penditure of fabulous and reckless
prodigal wealth any where in the
world. Golden tokens literally
strewed the ajrartmenf merely as ef-
fulgent settings for the mammouth.

and precious stones, sunbursts and
pearls without price that gleamed like
a transcendent electrical display in the

The bride and °Toom immediately
departed for their future home. Up-
on their arrival in Mangum they were
met by a vtyit assemblage of friends
and escorted thro the city in gaily
•decorated equippages especially made
for the occasion. •
In the artistically arranged dining
room of the Harris Hotel a most sump*
tious dinner was served to the bridal
oouple and their friend^.
After the eight coiirse dinner at the
hotel the bridal couple reerterd the
magnificent equppage and headed by
the famous Mangum band in their
gaily decorated chariot, were soorted
throughout the town.
The band discoursed sweet <>tralnn
of music which would put to shame
the famous Souaa Band, much to the
■lellght and enjoyment of the entire
population of Mangum.
