famous auctioneer helped In the
ring. There were a great number
of auctioneers present at the sale and

Beaver County Chapter American
lied Cross has been fortunate during-
the providing Influenza cpldimlc
In that they had a graduate nurse
available for visiting nursing. Miss
Anna Leonard Hcd Cross nurso who
has been In the county for somo time
giving Instruction In Home XuihIiik
nnd Care of tho Sick was transfer-
red to visiting nursing work with
the outbreak of the epidemic nnd she
has been able to .be ot Bcrvico In a
great many homes where all mem-
bers ot the family were afflicted
and thore was no ono to care for the
111.
In addition to this tho county chap
ter has been able to secure and place
many practical nurses In homes
whero they were.
With only ono trained nurse avail
nblo and only a very few practical
nurses of courso it has not been
possible to render all tho service that
the county chapter would have liked
to give but after all many homeA
have been visited nnd tho family and
all cheered and helped by tho visit
and tho Bed Cross has again proven
Its supremo worth.
Tho editor of Tho Herald who Is
also chairman of tho county chapter
together with Mrs. O. II. Cafky vlco
chairman Miss Anna Leonard Hcd
Cross nurse nnd Miss Helen Mur
phy spent a great part of Tuesday
nnd night in tho Couch neighbor
hood whero tho epidemic seems to
have fastened Its tentacles most se
vercly. Many homes were visited
nnd much satisfaction and relief for
thoHo suffering resulted.
Tho County Hed Cross Chapter
Is anxious to do all that It can tor
the people of tho entire county and
while Its force is small and entirely
Inadequate yet a supreme effort will
be made to reach' the most serious
and emergency cases where other
help Is not available and such cases
should bo reported as quickly as poa
Bible. If It were possible to mobll
Izo n large corps of trained nurses
and of practical helpers so that tho
chapter might serve every caso In
the county. It would bo dono gladly
but trained nurses aro absolutely im
possible to get nnd only a very tew
practical helpers ar? obtainable so
tho situation can only be bandied In
a small way. It will only be pos
siblo to reach the most urgent cases.

Mr. I'crklns was formerly pastor of

Perkins is boosting tho building of a
northwest railroad to build from Ok-
lahoma City through Beaver county
to n terminus in the coal fields of
Colorado and Now Moxico tho lino
being proposed to pass thtough Wny-
noka of course. Two proposed routes
are shown by the advertisement ono
following the routo of tho W. F. & N.
W. to Forgan and on northwest tho
other proposed routo being south
through Shnttuck. Beavci Is left
high and' dry by tho proposed routing
but Beaver people have another Idea
about that matter which will develop
at the proper time. If that road Is
built northwest through Beaver coun
ty it is going to come through BEAV-
EH or Beaver citizens will know tho
reason why. Wo rather Buspect
"Perk" outlined those routings know-
ing that Heaver would mako a loud
noiso in support of tho most feasiblo
route which would bo directly west
through Heaver of course nnd thus
advertise his whole project. Well
we're on the job nil right and will
make tho "noise" as well as do tho
other things required to get tho road
If it Is to no built nnd it looks more

A last step In tho development of
Oklahoma that of Increasing the
worth of the great but lsolatedvnorth-
west section of the stnte hah been
given an Impetus by the commercial
Interests of Oklahoma City Waynokn
nnd othor cities of that section which .
bids fair to bring millions or dollars
annually into the stnto. Into the
northwest and Into Oklahoma Cltv. i
A proposition as brought to Okla-j
homn City by Jonathan E. Perkins I
secretary of tho Wnynoka chamber of
commerce nnd which It Is said will
result ultimately In a direct railroad

nnd then through the center of Heav-
er Texas and Clmairon counties to
the coal 'fields near Dos Moines X.
M. lint been Indorsed hv tho Jobbers'
nnd Manufacturers' association and
by business interests of the city. '
Tho plan as given to Oklahoma
City howover would only be In Iny-
ine a railroad from Wnynoka here a
distance of approximately 10T miles
which would open all tho territory be
tween thoso points to tho farmers and
merchnnts Included nnd mean tho
cxrhnuge nf thousands of dollars
which now find their way out of tho
state.
Tho two routines for the proposed
railroad stnrt at Oklahoma City one
going oy wny or Kincnsnor narrow
Fnlrvlow. Toijo and Wnynoka and tho
other through Oknrcho. Watonsa
Orion and to Wnynoka. Tho routing
of the road will bo decided after n
thorough investigation and after a
booster trip hnB been mndo by men
of the northwest Interested In the
proposal.
Tho booster trip Is to start at Way-
nokn composed of business men of
tho northwest will lcavo within tho
next few weeks nnd cover ono of tho
proposed routes by automobiles. Ad-.
dIlion.nl members will bo gathered on
tho trip nnd on tholr arrival In Okla-
homa City nt tho end of tho week a
booster celebration will bo held. '
The now proposed road would havo
an entire length or about 370 miles1
from Oklahoma City to Dos Moines
