tional normal schools lo bo located
In tlio eastern iMirtlon of the stato
anil may bo expected to grow active
as soon as tho legislature's com-
mittees are appointed. Speaker Mur-
ray has announced that th chair-
man of the houso committee will lie
W. A. ' Durant of llrynn county.
Some of tho towns already have
their representative here. Chief Hog-
era of tho Cherokees. whose homo
Is In Tahlenuah was here yesterday
In tho Interest It Is said of his
place.
It Is understood to bo tho pres-
ent legislative jiollcy to locato ono
of the no rain In tho Chcrokeo or
of the normals In tho Cherokee or
Creek nation and one each In tho
Choctaw and Chickasaw nations. In
tho northetwtorn part of the stato
tho contestants are: Tahleriiah
laromore Tulsa Checotah and VI-
ulta. For tho Chickasaw school there
are seven cundldattts: Duncan Aril-
more Ada WynnuAood Chlckasha
lloft and Sulphur. In the Choctaw
nation only two are appilng Du-
rant and Hugo.

ize It Is announced the towns will

ing what they have to offer lis sltei
