Allen Caruthers, first day settler
of Guthrie, April 22, 188'J, will organ-
ize an Oklahoma Society in New York
city Friday, July 1, at which many
prominent Oklahomans and members
of congress will speak.
Allen Caruthers came to Guthrie
from Georgia, and during the 00 days
divorce law in Oklahoma was a mem-
ber of the law firm of Iloggatt and
Caruthers, who did a wholesale di-
vorce business for clients from all
over the world. The firm established
a branch office in New York, and
after the repeal of the 00 day divorce
law that made Guthrie a regular
''Reno" of those days, Allen Caruthers
remained in New York City. Most of
the states have New York City socie-
ties, and Oklahoma now has a large
colony living there.

From a financial standpoint, most
of Oklahoma's municipal owned ceme-
teries are a Joke, according to Will
II. Clark, of Oklahoma City, who has
recently completed a tour of investi-
gation. There is too much space be-
ing used ill drives and walks and un-
less some attention is given the laying
out of these cemeteries there is noth-

said.
There should not be more than 2**
percent ot the total space given over
to drives and walks in any cemetery,
he says, while in many in Oklahoma,
as much as 02 percent is taken up
that way. Drives and walks are a
liability and not even a perpetual
care fund Is being arranged in most
places. Unless this perpetual care
fund is provided for. Clark asks wnat
will become of the cemetery after all
the lots have been disposed of, In two

says, that the census of a cemetery

A dispatch from Tulsa says: Two
bounceinents in the last week by
Fe railroad oficials lead Tul-
to believe that the great exten-
program that the Senta Fe had
mapped out in 1016, but which was
hailed by the world war, is to be in-
augurated soon. The first is to con-
ned up the extreme eastern Texas
lines and the second to reduce the
distance from Kansas City to Guth-
rie, via the Osage cutoff. To
Oklahomans both are considered im-
portant, but the Osage line appears to
be tl e one that will be first.
The Osage cutoff extends from
Caney, Kansas, where it leaves the
southern Kansas division, moving
southeastward and passing through
Pawhuska and [Fairfax, "where the
Shawnee division is touched. Most
ol the grades are in, several bridges
constructed and the work will be
taken up soon and rushed, so advices
from Topeka say.
From Fairfax the road will run on
tliw Oklahoma Eastern branch of the
Santa Fe, by way o fl'awnee, Still-
water, to Giithriel There is also
a possibility of there being a cutoff
straight line built from Stillwater to
Coyle and save the long curve around

More thought should be given in
planning cemeteries and there should
be a united effort to make them as
beautiful as any park, Clark says. To
do this, they must be properly de-
signed and not laid out like most of
them are, with no thought for the
future.

extension to Ore city, where the San-

not take place because it rained there u
like cats. But those who filled the ' i
three coaches of the special booster
train bad their fun anyway. On their
way they stopped jit Crescent and
serenaded the town awhile with the
band and watched the game there
with Mulhall. Then they went to
Marshall, and just as they got ready
to play the downpour came. But
again the band played and made
everybody feel good.
The best part of It, however, is that
the excursion and game were in-
sured against rain and the club lost
nothing. An accideut insurance
was taken out by Frank Kelley, the
manager for $225 with the Home
Insurance Co., which cost only $22.50.
