AUTOMOBILE EXPENSE FOR CITY
A hot opposition Oreured In the
council meeting Monday night when
a large auto repair and gasoline bill
of Chief of Police Den Matthews
was turned in for tlielr approval.
Tha repair hill called for $48.1 ol
The gasoline bill could not be de-
termined as the city kuperlntendent
of water and light used of the same
account. The claims were met with
bitter opposition by Messrs Brown.
Griswold, Atkinson and Hutchins.
Herndon, Fry, Thomas and Mayber-
ry voted that the claim bo paid. This
caused a tie, which was broken by
Mayor Ryan who voted in favor <
We understand that Matthews was to
furnish a car to be used for city
service and the city was to furnish
gasoline. But from now on the
council says that he must foot his
own bills.

MATTHEWSON COMMITS MURDER
Priday at Nowata, Mark Matthew
son shot and killed a man whose
name we are unable to get at this
time. According to the report we
received from * party who was In
Nowata at the time the murder oc-
curred, It seems that Mstthewson and
the other party had trouble previous
to this over a cow being stoked on
property belonging to the former.
After -being molested with the cow
some time Mstthewson cut the rope
and turned her loose. And as Friday
while walking down the street he
was accosted by tha other party who
remarked "here comes that
who cut my rope” after which a flat

being beat op pretty badly. Matthew

The cost of hauling ovpr country
roads is largely determined by the
also of the loud that can be hauled,
the number of trips that can be made
In a day, and the w ear and tear on
teams and equipment.
It has been proven beyond any ar-
gument that a good road in the coun-
try Is one of the biggest money
suvore that Is to be found in rural
communities. It docs not make any
difference. In the pro rata, whether
there are bblg or little crops lo lie
hauled to market, in the saving that
may be made by having good roads.
A big load, with a minimum of
horse or mule power and strain on
harntsa and wagon, will net more to
the farmer iu dollars and cents, save
lot of his time and give him an
opportunity of taking advantage of
market prices on short notice.
In fact, from every standpoint tbo
farmers' condition is bettered. And
whatever benefits the farmer bene-
fits the merchant and business man
of the city. If there were good roads
leading out of Claremore in every di-
rection to all of these big farming
sections you would see everyone of
the farmers comlug to Claremore wit li
their crops. Where there Is one lo-
day who comes here you would see
throe bringing In their loads.
There is no guess work about this
Increase of business. It has been
proven out too many tljnes all over
the country tor any argument not In
favor of good roads.
The problem of making good roads
Is not a ' difficult one, If It Is gone
at the xScbt way. In the first place.
It should not be the object or try-
ing to apend an appropriation over
all the roads In the comity the first
year. If there Is a limited amount or
money to begin with then apportion
(hie amount to each of the cities and
towns according to their population,
and then begin building At roads out
Into tha country from the city bord-
ers. Build these pieces of roads the
very .best that money can buy and
with the view of having them last
lor a great many years. Perhaps the
roods would not be built more than
a couple of miles out into the coun-
a public nuisance,
and should and willl be abated.
I have the honor to be yours.
Very respectfully,
W. J. Dodson,
Near the dumping grounds ou
Cat Creek.
WHY SUPPRE88 MARRIAGET
Vuills—"I have noticed,' said a
county official today, "that fully one
fourth ol the people who t otue to
ibis building to get mar nave licenses,
want the matter suppressed.
It aeenm to me to bo a poor
time to be ashamed. Now me. If
I had a young and mort-or less blush-
ing bride to lead to the (lr)alta(e)r,

the discussion desiring publication i>
properly signed by some Individual.
Mr. Rditor:
1 wish to give a true history cif tin
noted Cat Creek, and Dumping ground
Some one signing an "Taxpayer" has
blown bis head off In Saturday's l>ail>
Progress, on the subject. Now I
wish to say in 1882 1 immigrated to
the noted Cat Creek, where the beau
tiful city of Claremore, now Is Imat-
od; At that time. Cat Creek was u
balding, laughing brook with crystal
water and filji d with myriads of the
finny tribe, a fisherman's paradise. I
have caught some myself weighing
one and a half pounds. There I.-
a spring of clear sparkling watir now
located In the channel of Cat Creek
and within the corporate limits of
Claremore, where the |>< r-ple got
their supply of drinking wnti r. but
now is so pointed ihat it is not fit for
a bog to wallow in, all because of the
tilth and sewerage from the city.
Now every one knows that Cut
Cro-k Is a foul slimy stream, filled
with stagnant water so pointed, in
t'aet, as to bo wholly Incapable of
further pollution. 1 think the city
council should take some .,. - ,, ,
abating this evil, for tho pmteetlon
.•f health of those who are compelled
lo pill up with the steneb of the
filth that is now turned into the
creek from the sewers of the town,
which have various other pests to
endanger the health and liv. s of the
people for utiles down stream, even
into Dog Criek for several miles.
Now In regard to the diiinpinr
ground; It Is enough to make a sen
sible person hysterical and indignant
to have the tilth of the city dumped
->t their front door, and immediately
on the public highway^ were the
country people have to pass to gel

their trading. As to It being a Jun
gle screened from the public road and
gaze by heavy timber Is false, ns last
year it wns a cornfield tilled with
beautiful growing corn, this year It
has grown up in weeds caused by the
overflow of that noted Cat .Creek,
which flows through the dumping
ground diagonal irons the Northwest
lo the Southeast. There Is a section
line on two sides of this pest loca-
tion, making it in a very publk
place, when some other location can

section, and cun be had lor less

way, or at the front door of some
