FIRST HTKPH FOR
BIG ENCAMPMENT.
Prominent Workers in G. A. K. and
W. It. C. Order Vitit ( handler
to Make lTeliminary Arrangements
for the May Encampment—1500
Visitors Expected.
On Wednesday night of this week
Department Commander Kelley of j
the G. A. R., of Kingfisher; Adjt.
Gen. Col. Sowers, of Guthrie; Dept.
Pres, of the W. R. C.t Mrs. Mary Mc-
Klnnisier of Geary; Dept. Pres, of
the Ladies of the G. A. R.f Mrs. W.
B. Herod of Guthrie, and Dept.
Treas. W. R. C., Mrs. M. B. Cum-
mings of Kingfisher, met at Wood-
mafa hall with members of the Chan-
dler orders G. A. R., W. R. C., U. S.
W. V., and the auxiliary to the U.
S. W. V., and discussed arrangements
for the big encampment of these or-
ders which is to be held in Chandler
on May 20, 21 and 22.
It is confidently expected that at
least li500 strangers will be in Chan-
dler for the three days of the en-
campment, and the hospitality of the
citizens will be taxed to the limit.
The honor of entertaining these
old veterans, their wives, the ladies
of the G. A. R., the W. R. C., the
Spanish war vets and their auxiliary
is a high one and one, we believe,
our people will appreciate.
At the meeting mentioned an en-
campment committee, with Oapt. A.
A. Beasler as president, J. Bart Fos-
changes, since they left here for the
far west. Mrs. Harper say’s while
she has no fault to find with her
Oregon home, she still loves Okla-
homa. She says the people aud places
look so prosperous here, and that
there is nothing to mar the pleasure
of their visit except the fact that
some of their old friends are lying
in “the city of the dead.”
They go to Sapuipa this week for
a visit with friends there. On their
return they will remain with friends
here a few days before returning
to Oregon.
CAPITOL SHOV ED ONTO THE
STATE.
# -
The Senate Yesterday Played Into
Hands of Old “Building Company.”
Oklahoma City, March 5.—The
McMechan resolution accepting the
650 acres and $151,000 in cash of-
fered by Oklahoma City on the state
capitol contract, was finally passed
through the senate by. a vote of 23
to 15, just barely enough to pass it.
This resolution will force the state
to make an appropriation to build the
capitol.
Much to the surprise to everyone.
Senator Ben Wilson, one of the two
senators from the Oklahoma county
district, voted against the resolu-
tion.
Senator Burford closed the argu-
ment against the resolution in a
{powerful speec h. He declared that

BIG MONEY.
If either Lee Patrick or Cal
Wright owe you anything now is the
time to ask them for it. The former
was in Davenport Monday and ex-
hibited to some friends a check for
thirty-eight thousand and some hun-
dreds dollars which he and Cal had
received for 1200 acres of oil land
in the north part of Lincoln county
and the south part of Payne county.

the young couple will make their
future home. They took the train

BROWN’S NEW MILL.
For some little time Fred Brown
has been installing a lot of fine
grinding machinery, in a new build-
ing built especially for the purpose
just north of the city limits, and is
now ready to do all sorts of mill
work. He expects to have on sale,
at all times, fine bolted corn meal
and ground feed. The mill is equip-
ped with both steel and stone burrs
and has a capacity of 4000 pounds
per hour. Fred invites the people
of this vicinity to call and Inspect
his outfit. Prompt attention to all
orders. Phone 151-A. A Mr. Ander-
son, brother-in-law of Mr. Brown, is
associated with him in the milling

CHILDREN'S DAY IN CHANDLER.
(By “Farmer” Mitchell.)
This movement is assuming gigantic proportions. The
Commercial Club of Chandler will welcome the children as our
best cotton and corn growers. The postmaster invites us to visit
the big postoffice and see how Uncle Sam does business with all
patrons of the office. We will pass through the office of the post-
master, through the room of the money order department, the
general delivery department and the busy end where every morn-
ing the nine rural carriers make up their daily budget.
(The publishers of the News-Publicist cordially invite the
children—and grown-ups, too—to call at our bffice. and witness,
at close range, the workings of Lincoln county’s largest and best
newspaper.—Ed.)
The First National bank will move a part of its furniture
that the multitude of children can see the big vault. Our red-
headed and good looking picture man will take a moving picture
of us as we pass out of the court house. Then when people go
to the picture shows in cities they will see the picture of Chan-
dler’s Childrens’ Day. We will all look so pleasant that people
will think it makes children happy to he in the cotton and corn
contest. All children between the ages of seven and twenty
may fall into the moving picture show line. What would we do
should the merchants give all of us a chew of gum? Should the
county officers give us the gum they could charge it to the cam-
paign fund.
One of the stenographers in the court house desires to shake
hands with every one of us. She may be a candidate for office.
In passing through the stores we must move slowly that we
may see all of the goods. The merchants and the assistants will
answer all your question. They will all shake hands with us as
we enter the store.
At the fire department- we will keep our eyes onen as the
boys will hitch the blacks very quickly. They will hitch them
several times that all may have a chance to see.
At the Cotton Oil Mill the machinery will not be in motion
lest some one would get hurt. We will have guards to show us
all over the big plant.
The business men of Chandler are interested in the children.
We are not sure yet but we think that they will see that every
boy and girl in their trade territory who does the work in the
contest shall have a prize of some kind. Yes I guess we can de-
pend upon it as we never yet have asked Chandler for money for
our boys and girls but it has been forthcoming. For several years
they have paid for the car to take tFe childrens’ cotton and corn
to the State Fair. They will do it '.gain this year. We will do
our part, Chandler will do its part. Next September, when we
all bring our exhibits to town, we will feel proud and happy too.

emphasis to my views on the subject,
I should like to withhold signature

Dear Friend—
I was so glad to get my prize.
It made me feel like going to the
field and planting "demonstration
cotton”today, but papa said, “hold
on son, this is February and we don’t
plant cotton until May.” Then I
said, “how long will it be ’til May?”
You don’t know that I am only eight
years old, do you, that is why I ask
so many questions. I like to raise
com, too. Do you know that I was
the youngest champion corn grower
in the United States and that my
picture is in the government annual
report for 1912?

IT. H. TO BELL TIMBER LAND.
The government is selling 267,-
000,000 board feet of timber in the
Priest river valley of the Kaniksu
National Forest, Idaho. This sale
differs from moot of those made by
the government in handling its Na-
tional Forest timber business. Not
merely the ripe timber will be sold
to make room for a new crop, but
on part of the area the purchasers
will be expected to take everything
in sight, after the time-honored fash-
ion of most lumbering that is done
on private lands. In short, the for-
est will be destroyed.
In the Kaniksu sale* part of the
area will clear-cut because the

Washington, March 4.—Woodrow
Wilson of New Jersey was inaugur-
ated today as president of the United
States; Thomas R. Marshall of In-
diana, its vice president.
Under the dome of the national
capitol, in the presence of a count-
less cheering concourse of his fellow
citizens, the new president raised a
hand toward a prophetic sun that
burst through dissolving clouds and
pronounced the occasion a day of
dedication; not a triumph.
It was an intensely human, prec-
edent-breaking inauguration. With
members of his chosen cabinet sur-
rounding him, the justices of the
supreme court before him, his wife
and daughters actually dancing for
joy on the platform below, and Will-
iam Howard Taft, ex-president of the
nation at hlseslde, the new president
shouted a summons to all “honest,
patriotic, forward-looking men,” to
aid him, extending the promise that
he would not fall them in the guid-
ance of their government.
While the president’s concluding
Inaugural words were tossing In tu-
multools waves of applause, the re-
tiring president clasped his hand and
enlisted as a patriotic servant in the
ranks of private citizenship.
Taft Wishes Success.
“Mr. President,” said Mr. Taft,
his face beaming with a broadening
smile, “I wish you a successful ad-
ministration and the carrying out of
your aims. We will all be behind
you.”
“Thank you,” said President Wil-
son, ajid he turned to Bhake the hand
of his secretary of state, William
Jennings Bryan. There they stood
—Taft, standard bearer of vanquish-
ed party, after sixteen years of pow-
er; Bryan, persistent plodder of pro-
gressive democracy, thrice defeated,
accepting a commission from a new
chieftain, and Wilson, the man of
the hour, victorious, mustering, as
he expressed it, "not the forces of
party, but the forces of humanity.”
It was a political picture far be-
yond imagining of a few years gone
by, a setting that stirred the souls
of the assembled hosts whose cheer-
ing at the scene seemed actually to
reverberate from the distant Virginia
hills.
