Chapel Program a Good One
It was the writers privilege to at-
tend the Chapel exercises and pro-
pram at our High School auditorium
Wednesday morning and we believe
it only justice to those who did not
ranged to raise a bonus of $10,000.00
to secure the building and operation
of the Byers project from Liberal,
Kansas, to Beaver, than Jonathan E.
Perkins, formerly of Beaver, now of
Waynoka, and who has been in-
teresting himself for some months in
promoting a northwest railroad from
Oklahoma City to the coal fields of
New Mexico, appeared on the
scene and interviewed a number of
our people concerning his project.
This projected railroad is one
which Beaver is much interested in
securing and in which the people of
the county are generally interested.
Mr. Perkins did not have his proposi-
tion ready to submit to the people
in general just yet, so no public
meeting was called at this time but
he assured us that he had the back-
ing of capital and all that was re-
quired was to show them that such
project wbs feasible and the road
each are paid up. The articles of in
Corporation permit the company to
operate from Boise City to Texhoma
bnd all territory intervening. Should
+he company meet with tavoroble co
operation on part of citizens along
and in reach of the projected line,
they will build a good line Into Boise
City that will have not to exceed,
four switch boards between there
and Texhoma. They are aware of
Ihe reasonable desire of Texhoma
and Boise City business men to se-
cure a line that shall avoid cross
ta'k and uncertainly of transmis-
i sion and will be glad to co-operate
with them in securing of such time
as far as is compatible with the com
oany's interests. The company
heartily invites the active co-opera-
'4 ion of all who are interested in the
, upbuilding of the community.

Jtev. E. W. Dbvison conducted the
most impressive devotional . consist-
ing of Scripture, prayer and a force-
ful talk to the students, in particu-
lar, upon the lesson brought out in

feature of the program carried out
in their general demeanor, in an-

the custom that in connection with j
ihe Chapel exercises that the various
grades in both the Graded and Hig'.i
School rooms take their turn in aj
short program, and the same has J
been beneficial to the pupils and on
each occasion reflecting much credit
to the teacher in charge
In this program, under the able
Supervision of Miss Mae Ottirger, our
primary teacher, several of the High
School pupils as well as her little
folks were used. A noticeable sur-
prise in the beginning was ti e -
jearance of the High School pUj.iis

Behimer, Ross Esmay, Rosco<? Thom-

gram was most interesting and the ;
large number of school patrons in |
attendance are generous in their
praise of this and other programs as J

ing done this present term.

no more practicable routing for a I

which Beaver has always projected]
and that is a route up the Beaver!

Beaver and on west to Sharp's creek :
