Chiekasha "Queen of the Washita"
Chiekasha Oklahoma has many thiDgs that prompt her citizens
to feel that Bhe is destined to be one of if not the foremost com-
mercial renters 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 1906 was $3000000.00
and in 1907 it was $5500000.00; an increase of $2500000.00 for the
year 1907.
The postoffice receipts for 1900 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 ot the Frisco and of the Santa Fe are not
among o-ir data compiled and as the Oklahoma Central has been
running iDl 'he city but two mouths we have no record of its
business.
The Rot' Tsland for the month of December last did in volume
of busincBF ' Thickasha $129000; El Reno which was next in vol-
ume did - business of $79000; Okiahama 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 Chiekasha 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 plaut soon to be completed will furnish in
rapid .uecession 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
state Chiekasha 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.

"I wish every democratic
newspaper would commence the
collection of a fund froir its
own subscribers. There are very "
few democrats who could not af- "
ford to make .a small subserip-
tion and the people will never "
be able to control the govern- 1
ment until they take upon them- '
selves uiu burden of supplying
campaign funds- long as a '
few men furnish tne money to
finance a compaign those men
will exert and undue Influence
upon ...rf government.
.v 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 par '.y 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 dbt that the
democratic party will receive
eontrlbut ons from more maivia-
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 encjgh 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 dome .ratic
ampaign 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 will not be limited to the
ity of Chiekasha but will be accepted
from all parts of the eartn irom
Cape Horn to the great well of China
and back again. Every denocrat 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 yar the trusts
and milionaires will dig it up. Dem-
ocracy must rely for its sinews of
war upon the free will offerings of the
pLaln 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-
niocr.vy must do her part. Let every
mval democrat respond to the call

With a footman by his ide a quiet

scanning eagerly an insignificant little
cluster of purplish petals in the amaa-

$750000 and is guarded night and day
by detectives with as much care and
anxiety as the bank in Threadneedla

Details Frequently Known to Baffl
the Man of Genius.
To illustrate the kind of lapse of
reasoning power from which great
inventors are known to suffer like
that under inlluence of which Sir
lauac New ton cut one hole in a wall
to let a cat pass through and then a
small hole for the kitten an old story
in the life of Morse will answer well.
Long before he Invented the tele-
graph Morse was known to the of-
ficers of the patent office as a persist-
ent applicant for patents. When his
great invention of "distance writing
was about completed he wanted the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad to try It.
To get rid of hirn the president of
the road turned him over to a subord-
inate. This official was struck with
the beauty of the invention and be-
came so interested in it. that he sat
tin half the nisht discussing it with
the inventor. At length Morse con-
fessed there was only one thing which
! bttfled him. "As Ion a; th'5 railroad
j runs" he said "wh?re poles may be
! erected It. will be easy mailing but
I wfc.n we come to the bis bridges what
i is to be done then'? We can't erect
j polos across the stream and without
; them the wire would sag and perhaps
br'ak from its own wekht.
