MANY PEOPLE VISIT
DEEP FORK CANAL
Residents of the eastern part of
the county are flocking in large num-
bers to watch the work ofQa huge
dredge which has been started on the
Deep For!; drainage district. Start-
ing two miles west of Arcadia, the
ditch will be dredged to the Lincoln
county line, a distance of thirteen
and a half miles. Plans are already
on foot to extend the work into the
adjoining county to make the entire
length forty miles. If this is accom-
plish the entire cost of the drain
when completed will be $1,0110,000.
Keegan and Sprangle of Ft.
Wayne, Ind.,'have the contract for
the work, and ntachinerv some of
which is said to he the most massive

of place and deposits them on one
side of the stream as gently as
though they were mere trifles.
CHRISTMAS IS COMING
OUR BUSINESS MEN
ARE WIDE AWAKE
Our merchants have ail envoyed a
flue trade the past two weeks, all of
them having been so rushed as to be
obliged to keep extra clerks to supp-
ly their customers. Few towns in
the state can compare with this in
tlie amount of busines transacted at
lids or any other season of the yeai.
It has become an established fact
that goods can he bought as cheap
here as anywhere, and in many inst-
ances much cheaper. Hence, the
immense crowds that gather here
every week.

SHAWNEE AVIATOR

proved theory over the Wright

although there are a few minor
things to be added to his machine

flight from Shawnee to Aydelotte
and back, a distance of sixteen
miles, in a very few minutes for
either direction. The young man’s

people expect that in the near fu-
ture he w ill startle the world bv his
flights.

FULTON TO HEAR
SEMINOLE FIGHT
Elmer L. Fulton of Oklahoma
City, recently candidate for con-
gress on the democratic ticket in the
second congressional district, has
been appointed referee to hear the
argument in the Seminole county
seat fight. The appointment is
made by the supreme court. A hear-
ing will be set for some time the
latter part of December.
The fight is of long duration, and
has been dragged through the lower
courts and to the supreme court of
the state. Both Wewoka and Semi-
nole are aspirants for the honor,
and the contest has been warm.
Mr. Fulton will hear the argu-
ment and make recommendations to
the supreme court. His recommen-
lations will he in the nature of a
decision, hut will not he binding un-
til approved by the highest court in
the state.
The Seminole county seat fight is
among the last of more than fifty
that have come up during Governor
Haskell’s term. It has also proven j
the most bitter, and its final set-
tlement will end a strife that has
rent Seminole county since Okla-1
homa was admitted to statehood.
ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS
ARE LAWS WANTED
Dr. J. M. Postelle, president of
die Oklahoma Anti-T uberculosis
society, expects to secure legislation
in the regular session of the legisla-
ture, which will secure the estab-
lishing of a state hospital for con-
sumption.
He will have a hill introduced
asking for an appropriation of $50,-
000 for the building of such a hos-
pital.
It is the intention, if this appro-
priation can he secured, to make
this hospital the center of a system-
atic campaign not only for the cure
of consumptives but for the pre-
vention of the disease.
Health reports from month to
month show that more people die
from consumption than from any
other one cause, yet it is asserted
that the disease is easily preventable
and may he cured by proper treat-
ment if taken in its early stages.
Change of climate is not neces-
sary to cure fconsumption, aver
those who claim to know. The
proper treatment is living in open
air under the most perfect sanitary
conditions possible. The climate
favorable to the cure of consump-
tion is one that permits the patient
to live in the open and yet avoid ex-
posure to severe climatic changes.
Oklahoma has a good climate for
such treatment and it is the purpose
of such a hospital to afford close at
home an opportunity for treatment
without the expense of removal to
some far-away place.
