THE MOUNTAIN PARK HERALD.
[Successor to the Mountain Park Lance.]
VOLUME 3 MOUNTAIN PARK, OKLAHOMA, OCTOBER 18, 1906. NUMBER 41
A New Enterprise Se-
cured.
Several weeks ago the Herald'made
mention of the fact that Mountain
Park was to have a new industry in
the nature of an endurite stone factory.
The arrangements have now been
completed and as soon as the ma-
• hine’y can be secured work will be-
gin. The stone to be manufactured
will be for bu Iding purposes, as well
a* many rrticles of daily use. We
will more fully, in the future, explain
the nature ; nd quality of the articles
manufactured, as well as the size of
flant uud number of men employed
Mr. Hugh Wilford, an enterprising
young Kentuckian, who came to
Mountain Park some weeks ago, os-
tensibly to visit his old time friend,
R. H. Jones, having become so favor-
ably impressed with the splendid out-
look and future business possibilities
o' our city, has formed a partnership
with the veteran cotton dealer, R.
Bamblett, and has decided to make
his home here. We predict nothing
but the first measure of success for
this new firm, composed as it is of
men of ripe experience and modern
up-to-date business methods. The
Herald extends the glad hand of
welcome and hearty co-operation to
Mr. Wilford and to all others of his
kind who may come among us.
A Big Vault.
The Ciiizcns Bank is having a
brick vault built in their bank building
which will be one of the safest and
most substantial ones in the county.
It will measure tix by ten feet in the
clear, with 18-inch walls and a three-
inch air space. It is being built by
Messrs. Lakin and when completed
will give added security to funds and
documents deposited with the bank.
Lost by Fire.
A. 1. McAlister lost his big hard-
ware store in the fire at Sentinel on
the i6th. in which six buildings on
the south side of the town were
burned. Mr. McAlister had just ad-
ed to his stock a car load of stoves
and other hardware and all that was
saved was eight cheap buggy whips.
Very little insurance.
Evangelist Scott will preach at the
Baptist church on Monday night, the
22nd.
Hon. Luke Roberts, of Christie,
Greer county, was a Mountain Park
visitor a few days the past week, and
made the Herald a visit Mr. Rob-
erts is the democratic nominee for the
constitutional convention from the
49th district.
Joint Meetings.
The two candidates to the consti-
tutional convention from this district
have agreed upon a senes of joint
meetings at which they will discuss
the issues of the campaign. These
meetings will be held as follows:
Monday, Oct >ber 22. 2 p, m., at
Mountain Park.
Tuesday, October 23, 2 p. m., at
•Siboney,
Wednesday, October 24, 2 p. m.,

J. W. Gardner was in town Satur-
day.
Ira C. Mitchell, of Roosevelt was
here Saturday. He likes the Herald.
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Worsham, of
Charlston, 111., and their niece, Mis.
Holbrook, of Siboney, Okla., were
the visitors today of Mr. and Mrs. J.
M. Hayes. Mr. and Mrs Worsham
are old neighbors of Mr. and Mrs.
Hayes, One thing we liked about
Mr. Worsham was that he is the only
democrat ever elected alderman in
the first ward, in Charleston, 111.
Irrigation Certain.
Jas. A., or “Damsite” Jones came
in Tuesday from a business " trip to
the east and was happy as a nigger in
the sunshine. He has the irrigation
project practically cinched and within
the month work will be begun. Jones
has worked hard and faithfully on this
enterprise and is bent on making it a
success.
Cotton Receipts.
Up to this morning 515 bale* of
cotton have been weighed at the
Mountain Park yards. This cotton
has all been bought at a price higher
than competing towns couid pay, and
the farmers appreciate it. Our buy-
ers always push the top off their limit
and give the farmers the benefit.
Bring your cotton to Mountain Park.
Charley Wilson, editor of the Kiowa
County Democrat, was a pleasant cal-
ler at our sanctum today. Charley is
giving^away a $1000 piano to the most
popular young lady to be found in this
neck of the woods, We would tell
our readers something really interest-
eating about this piano scheme if we
hadn’t been already warned by Char-
ley not to do it.
