CHAS. J. LEISURE. SHOE SHOP. Beaver Okla.
Several thousand people from
all over this section of the south-
west gathered at Gate Wednes-
day to witness the "shooting"
of the oil well at ' that place as
had been advertised. They were
a "sore" bunch too when the
"shooting'' failed to materialize.
Money to cover the cost of the
shooting had been donated somo
weeks previous and placed in
the Gate bank upon the guaran-
tee that the well would bo shot
as agreed howevor upon the
assembling of the crowd Wed-
nesday Manager J. A. Hopkins
who has boon the "big stick"
of the whole proceeding an-
nounced that some $-1000.00 had
yet to be raised or the well
would not be shot. According-
ly leases were offered for sale
upon various propositibns and
finally about six o'clock in te
evening it was announced that
the well would bo shot in one
hour. The crowd waited two
hours and still there was no do
velopment. Then It was an-
nounced that the shooting would

Trade Day Draws Bin Crowd
Beaver's first Trade Day last
Saturday May 21st attracted a
largo crowd. Everybody seemed
to havo a good time and 4he mer
chants report an unusual amount
of business. A baseball game in
the afternoon between Beaver
and Booker was largely attended
and heartily enjoyed by the big
delegation of local and visiting
fans. Tho scoro was in favor of
Beaver. A dance at night with
music by a Jazz orchestra pro-
vided further amusement for
thoso who enjoy tripping tho
light lantastic. The public salo
at which the various offerings
brought in by tho farmers and
others were sold free of charge
by local auctioneers was a feat-
ure of tho day. It is the general
opinion that tho Trado Day idea
is a good one and it is tho plan
to continue tho same throughout
the summer. The big idea of
such days is not so much to pro-
mote direct returns by greatly
increased business that day but
to bring thfc people together
furnish them some wholesome
amusement and provide special

lines If they wish to buy.
