Medford, Oklahoma, Jan. 9.—
The commissioners in session last
week transacted quite a budget of
business of general interest not the
least of which was the appointment
of Geo. Walker as superintendent
of the poor farm for the coming
year. There were two bids lower
than Walker’s but the fact that he
I had charge of the farm for the past
year and proven his worth out-
weighed the slight difference in the
bids and gave him the appointment.
Seventeen applicants were after the
job and their bids were as follows:
B. M. Merritt, salary $450 no help.
Geo. D. Walker, salary $550 help
optional.

The following appointments were
also made by the board J. B. Dren-

sanituiy board; Dr. G. T. Drennan,
county physician; Dr. I. V. Hardy,
jail physician; Deput'cs were also
allowed the following officers:
Clerk 1*. W. Zcigler, Treasurer R.
J. Russell, Judge J. W. Bird, Reg-
ister of Deeds C. T. Colman. Dis-
trict Clerk Ernest was allowed a
deputy at 50.00 per month. Sher-
iff Lamisun was authorized to ap-
point one office deputy at a salary
at public auction Saturday, Feb-
roary 10. at 1:00 oclock. This act-
ion is taken by the board for sever-
al reasons chief among which is the
fact that the buildings as they now
stand are absolutely worthless to
the count}- and are each year be-
coming more so. Then too Pond
Creek will begin the erection of a
new school house at once and will
probably desire to build upon the
site now occupied by these build-
ings. The court house square is
the property of the United States.
\V. A. Delzell and Wm. Hierony-
inous were up from Pond Creek
Monday opening up the newly
created county assessors office in
the rooms formerly set aside for
the county commissioners. Hier-
onymous will have charge of this
office.
District Court adjourned after
one days session to convene again
January 22nd at which time the
regular docketed cases will be taken
up. The cases against the county
officials come up for trial the 24th
and 25th.
The freeze of the past week has
put a number of hydrants and wat-
er pipes about town on the retired
list.
