K«pul>llian» of Allu* and liautiiin
Township* will meet at Ihc Allu»
Time* office on Saturday, June 2*>, at
.1 o'clock p. m., to nominate candi-
date* for town»hlpofflce*. By order of
R. 11. Jeffrey,
John Kutter,
Committeemen.
Tiik Republican of Jnokson
county uro under many obligft-
tiom to the nood people of
OliiHt.-e for the etTortn they mad.
to entertain them and to mako
thorn fool at homo lunt Saturday.
Tiik it k are tw.> nominees from
Altus on the Republicau ticket,
a ml only two. It you will Htudy
u littlo you will notice the reaion
why. Although both ore good
men, it was n case of Hobson's
choico. Kaune is tho ouly He
publican lawyer in Jackson couu.
ty, end Mr. Fox is also tho only
man qualified for the ollico of
county surveyor.
Thk Republicans hope to land
one or two of thoir men in offices
this fall, if not all of them. And
if nothing olso is aoconiplishod,
the voters will ot leost have two
sets of candidates to vote for, and
cannot make tho plea that they
had to vote for Democrats in or-
der to have a voioe in the selec-
tion of county ollicors. That ex-
ouso is worn out. Weak-kneed
Republicans will never bo able
to make it again hereafter, for
there will always be a Republican
tioket in tho field.
Thk Orient construction force
is steadily pushing the line north-
ward, and about 2 1-2 milfs have
been laid up to this time. There
may ho a shortage of ties before
long, unless they begi'i coming in
rapidly. It takes lots of ties to
build a railroad. There are 18
ties to every rail, which i9 88 feot
long. Divide 5,280 feet by 1155 and
you have the number of rails to a
mile, or 100. Multiply 100 by
18, aud you have the number of
ties used to a mile, or 1,880. It
requires some ties to lay a mile
of track.
A Garcful Officer.
Township Assessor Freuk
Johnston, of hock, was in town
Friday to mako his return bofore
the township board, which held a
mooting at the office of the Altus
National Hank that afternoon to
receive his report. 'I ho llrst of
this week lie went to Mangum to
turn over his books to the proper
authorities. Mr. Johnson is a
careful, accurate assessor, a uoat
penmen, and his books are mar-
vela ot neatuoss. lie takes great
pride in his work, and Altus
township ought to be proud of
such an officer, oven if ho is a Re-
publican!
A Trip to Lugert.
j. C. McClay, A. C. Fagin, \V.
C. Jarbofl, and Mr. Davis, tho
real estate agent, made a trip to
Lugert, the now town on tho ori-
ent line north of here, tho latter
part of last week. The drivo is
something like 40 miles, but they
made good time, and returned
much impressed with the pros-
pects for a good town up there.
All of those gentlemen have roal
estate holdings in the now town,
which they are preparing to place
ou the market soon.
Back From Texas.
II. C. Parch ma n, F. B. Baker
and Robt. L. Coopor recently re-
turned from a throe mouths
wagon trip through West Texas.
They visited tho countioa of
Peoos, Brewster, JelT Davis and
others, and found cattle dying ou
the plains for lack of grass ou
which to subsist They did not
invest but came homo as quickly
a» possible, well persuaded that
Jackson county is far ahead of
anything in the Lone htar state.
C. L. Green, of Sapulpa, is a
late comer to our city, having re-
cently purchased the Eatmou
farm near Salt Fork through the
agency of Cage Beach. Mr.
Greeu is a large, healthy speci-
men of the geuus farmer, who
will doubtless contiuuo to wax
fat off the fertile prairies of
Jacksou oounty, and make us a
good citizen.

How Pabst
Grows Malt
Malt is the body of beer. It
is what makes beer a food,rich
in health-giving qualities.
Malt is barley-grain,
sprouted and partially grown.
Most malsters force this pro-
cess in three or four days time.
Pabst takes the full eight days
as required bv Nature, with the
result that Pabst gets a nutritious,
•trength-building malt.
It takes Pabst longer and it costs
Pabst more to make this perfect malt,
but this Eight-Day Malting Process
