Chickasha Oklahoma has many things that prompt her citizens
to feel that she is destined to be one of. if not the foremost com-
mercial centers of Oklahoma among which are:
Her rapidity of growth as evidenced in the increase of business
in various lines where the proof is positive
For instance
The total bank deposits of 1906 were $1284194.00 and for
1907 they were $1671335.00; an increase in volume for the year of
$387141.00.
The assessed valuation of property in 190G was $3000000.00
and in 1907 it was $5500000.00; an increase of 2.500000.00 for the
year 1907.
The postoffice receipts for 190ti were $19979.00. and for 1907
they were $24855.00 ; an increase of $4876.00.
The Rock Island railroad did in volume of business here in the
year 1906 $830366.21 and in 1907 its receipts here were $1099-
200.95. The business of the Frisco and of the Santa Fe are not
among our data compiled and as the Oklahoma Central has been
running inl: he city but two months we have no record of its
business.
The Re" Island for the month of December last did in volume
of business ' 'Jhickasha $129000; El Keno which was next in vol-
ume did .. business of $79000; Oklahoma City followed with a
total business of $55000.
Along this line we mention the fact that $90000.00 has just
been voted for a high school building $35000 for a city hall and
fire station
Also that seventy-five blocks of pavement are to be put down
at once in addition to that already placed on Chickasha and Kansas
avenues this year.
Within the past two months a five and three-quarter mile boule-
vard has been laid out and set in trees.
In fact on every hand are evidences of substantial growth.
The water power plant soon to be completed will furnish in
rapid succession food for gratification in the manufactories it will
bring to us.
And last but by no means least restrictions have been ordered
removed from 7000000 acres of Indian lands on this side of the
gtate Chickasha being located in the center of it seventy-five per
cent of the land in this Grady county being restricted lands to be
released by the late act of congress.

Freak Interest Europe.
The lion-man is a freak now attract
In 8 torn attention in Europe where
like all the freaks who have gone b
fore and who follow he Is being "re-
ceived by the crowned heads." i
Vienna news Item says: "Lionel It
really only a boy 18 years old. H
speaks three languages and ha tra?
eled much. There Is nothing of the
lion about him but the head and
mane but that is enough. The fact
and head are covered with a thick
mat of blond hair and the human fact
can only be suspected. He seema to
be proud of his head and thinks him
self rather superior than unnatural
because of it. He 1s perfectly harrj
because bis abnormality brings hinj
money and admiration."

American Tree In Australia.
The native trees in Australia are
being systematically replaced with
those of the United States and Eu
rope. The chief reason for this action
Is that the trees of that country are
generally of a very slow growing na-
ture which Is not desirable for scien-
tific forestry although it is true that
many of the Australian trees grow to
enormous size when fully matured and
produce excellent timber. Notably
among these Is the kauri pine which
requires about 200 years to reach full
growth. As the native trefs are cut
iown to answer tlie demands fr lum-
ber the Imported trees are planted
In their places so that eventually the
flora of tlie country will be largely
eliminated if not entirely so.
Willing However.
The bachelor clergyman was show-
ing a woman visitor through his
church.
"Now madam" be said "you have
seen the organ the font and the nave.
V.Tith your permission I will now con-
duct you to the aitar."
"Oh" she exclaimed after the man-
ner of her kind "this is so sudden!"
"I wish every democratic
newspaper wrould commence the
collection of a fund from its
own subscribers. There are very
few democrats who could not af-
ford to make a small subscrip-
tion and the people will never
be able to control the govern-
ment until they take upon them-
selves u.o burden of supplying
campaign funds. P long as a
few men furnish toe money to
finance a compaign those men
will exert and undue influence
upon ...o government.
-. seems that we have reach-
ed the end of corporate contribu-
tions and that is a step in ad-
vance but the individuals who
control these favor-seeking cor-
porations may still dominate poll
tics by furnishing the sinews of
war. The democratic party has
struck at this system by limit-
ing contributions to $10000 and
providing- for. publicity before
election. The Republican party
has so far refused to Join with
us on this proposition but public
sentiment may yet compel It to
do so. I have no doubt that the
democratic party will receive
contributions from more individ-
uals than ever contributed to
any campaign and there is no
reason why the entire amount
should not be contributed by the
masses.
"If every democratic paper
will take the matter up and lend
a helping hand we will soon
have money enough in the treas-
ury to provide for legitimate
campaign work and that is all
we want." William J. Bryan.
Responding to the above appeal of
William J. Bryan the Express today
announces that is it ready to receive
dollar donations for the democratic
campaign fund.
Of course if any one feels disposed
to give more than a dollar it will be
entirely acceptable. There Is nothing
in the election law to prevent one
from giving $100 if he wants to.
Donations wilt not be limited to the
city of Chickasha but will be accepted
from all parts of the earth from
Cape Horn to the great wall of China
and back again. Every democrat of
Grady county is especially invited to
contribute his mite to the fund that is
needed to insure democratic victory.
It is conceded that the republicans
will have almost unlimited funds at
their disposal this year the trusts
and milionalres will dig it up. Dem
ocracy must rely for its sinews of
war upon the free will offerings of the
plain people.
A strict account of every dollar will
be kept with the names of the donors
and all will be forwarded to the prop
er custodians.
Grady county the stronghold of de
mocracy must do her part. Let every
loyal democrat respond to the call.

Prized the May Dew.
In Pepys' time May dow that is
dew gathered from the grass on a llaj
day was hltlily prized for bleaching
linen and Improving the complexion.
Tepys wrote in 1CCT: "My wife away
down with Jane and W. Ilewr to
Woolwich in order tn a little air and
to lie there to-night and so to Rather
May dew to-morrow morning which
Mrs. Turner hath taught her Is the
only thing In the world to wash her
face with; and I am contented with
It." Two years later he made this
entry in his diary: "Troubled about
three in the morning with my wife's
calling her maid up and rising herself
to go with her coach abroad to gath-
er May dew which she did and I
troubled tier for it for fear of any hurt
going abroad so betimes happening
to her; but I to sleep again uhe came
home about six."
