The new county will eventually
he one of the richest and most
populous counties in the stale,
"abounding as it does, in agricul-
tural and mineral (oil and gas)
wealth.
They can be no question as to
the advantages to every part
and every inhabitant of the pro-
posed territory which will arjse
from the boundaries of the new
county But these will he
brought out later .
The proposed new county ans-
wers every requirement of law
as to extent of territory, it be-
ing quite a deal over 500 square
miles, population and assessed
valuation- Great care has bqen
taken in the preliminary st^ps
and the requisite number of pe-
titions will soon be obtained.
There is no doubt that the prop-
osition will receive the approval
of the, people at the election
when it is called and held.
Numerous parties are out in the
various townships today securing
petitioners. Those out Tuesday
report a splendid reception.
The new proposition is backed
by the people of Cushing and Ev-
erybody here is enthusiastic- ,
Residents of Cushing can find
petitions at any of the banks and
every one should sign one. To-
night there will be held a mas-
meeting of the citizens to talk
over the matter. Band music will
bo given and notaries will be
present so that an opportunity
may be given all to sign a peti-
tion. Let everybody be out.
An executive committee of n^nf
has the management of the cam-
paign and are holding daily
meetings. C- H. Lamb is secre-
tary to the committee and he
will be glad to give any informa-
tion to those desiring.

Aged Stillwater Citizen Is Kille d.
While riding home in a groc-
ery wagon where ho was called
because of the serious illness of
his daughter,Louis Walters,aged
33 years, an old resident of Still-
water, was thrown from the wa-
»on and killed instantly. Wal-
ters struck on his head crushing
'lis skull and breaking both arms.
He became entangled in the rein':
ind was dragged 50 yards before
the horses were stopped-
The wagon was overturned in
turning a sharp corner and the
Iriver, named Hall, also was
thrown to the ground but he es-
caped injury.
Walters, who came to America
^rom Germany, served for sev-
eral years in the German army.
A wife, four grown daughters
ind a grown son survive him.
Funeral arrangements have not
Seen completed.
The daughter afflicted w't1
•yphoid fever is at the point of
leath.
The funeral services of Mrs. B.

4 o'clock by the Rev. Cork 11,
pastor of the Methodist church.
Mrs. Wilson had been in failing

charge of the building of the
bridge. Further detail* will l»e
A committ. e
waa appointed to take charge of
the matter- A meeting will h»
held on Monday evening »t th*

and it i* dmired that a* maty
of the citizen* who can will g«
out to the meeting. We belie\e
it would be policy for our bu*i
nesa men to attend this meeting.
It now looks a* if we should get
the bridge. The people of Moun
Township are much interested
Let us show th^fc we are.
The next subject waa the ques-
tion of the organization of a new
county-
The possibilities, advantages,
and the outlines of this nfw eoun
ty were set forth by Measrs.Had-
ley and Green and it was decided
to go to work at once,, as great
haste is necessary in th s matti r
President Foster was directed
to appoint a committee of n n
to take charge of this matter.
Every citizen should be ink-
ested in this and give all as is -
ance possible. It can be den ,
but Vill take work- The outlook
is splendid. Shall we take ad
vantage of this opportunity?
We shall say more of this later.
Meanwhile let us get extremely
busy.
At the suggestion of E. M.
Green, who was called upon to
do so by J- R. Iladley, it was
proposed to name the county,
Shaffer, after C. B. Shaffer,,
through whose enterprises so
much has come to this section-
The matter of oiling Steele
Avenue was discussed and com-
mittee appointed. We suggest
that a street mass meeting be
called on the new county matt r
that all the people may be
brought to a realization of its
importance.
