THE CHANDLER TR,BUNE
~ __CHANDLER, OKLAHOMA, THl Ksday __
1 'NAM A WEEK IN LINCOLN
COUNTY.
ilMS is the wee!:, October 16th to
c ird, for Lincoln county to show her
interest in the growing movement
und fund for a splendid Oklahoma
Building and Exhibit at the Panama-
Pacific Exposition at San Francisco
in 1915, Numerous letters have been
■sent throughout the county telling of
the plans and work of the Statewide
Oklahoma-Panama Exposition com-
mission, of which W. A. Durant is
chairman with headquarters at Okla-
homa City. Courtland M. Feuquay,
of Chandler, has been elected by the
commission as vice president for Lin-
coln county and is in direct charge
of this campaign. Assisting him this
week will be Roy Moore, assist-
ant secretary of the commission, and
until recently with the Alva Normal.
Every citizen of Lincoln county
who can is urged to buy a brick to
be used in the interior decoration of
the State Historiical building, with
name of contributor engraved in the
brick, which thereby becomes a per-
manent monument to the patriotism
of the donor. His name will also be
entered in the Booster Book of con-
tributors at the San Francisco Ex-
position. The deed to Oklahoma’s
prominent site has been received
(site was dedicated Sept. 16th, 1913)
and our building must be started
February 1st, 1914- $100,000.00 is
being raised by publfc subscription
and it is the aim of the commission-
ers to have all of this money by Feb-
ruary 1st, 1914. Of this amount the
commission has apportioned $2,000.00
to be raised in Lincoln county. As
this is only in proportion to the popu-
lation- .and not to comparative re
sources, it should be easy and Lincoln
county’s $2,000.00 should be raised
right now, before October 23rd.
A very successful campaign was
conducted by the commission last
week in Payne county but they did
not quite reach their allotted sum.
Lincoln county already has a fair
start with the following $5.00 bricks
sold by Vice-President, Feuquay:
Courtland Feuquay, Wagoner & Har-
ris, Dorthy Hoffman, A. E. Patrick,
Fred B. Hoyt, Rittenhouse & Ritten-
house, R. P. Roope, P. G. Rawdon,
T. J. Hinchey, H. M- Jarrett, an.'
Chandler Camp M. W. A- No. 7257.
The name of every LIVE BOOSTER
in Lincoln County should be on this
list. It wouldn’t look bad for ovr
county, would it, to “Do it Now" and
let the Commissioners hurl through-
out the State the good news that Lin-
coln County is now, as always, the
first to do its share, and the most
progressive county in the State. If
t’were well t’were done, t’were well
done quickly.”
The completion of the Panama
Canal, which this Exposition cele-
brates, ^ is the greatest accomplish-
ment of the century in bringing the
nations of the world and our nation
into closer union. This exposition
Will be the greatest in the world’s
history. Nothing has ever done Ok-
lahoma as much good “in the eyes of
the world” as did our building and
exhibit at the St. Louis Exposition,
by which advertisement of our re-
sources a great immigration was
brought to this state, and which had
much to do with our obtaining state-j
hood. At San Francisco Oklahoma |
has been*deeded one of the most
prominent sites on the exposition
grounds and it is our duty right now
to get busy and see that Oklahoma’s
true and great resources are there
shown, and that again we show the
world that Oklahoma is the most
progressive, as well as the richest
state in the union. At the state fair
the exhibitors’ association was unan-
imous in their determinatiin to begin
at once preparations for the best
agricultural and horticultural exhibit
in the union at the Frisco exposi-
tion. as were also the mineral ex-
hibitors. Ineidentially and now let
us show the state that Lincoln is its
most progressive county.
Thursday and Friday nights, O ”o-
ber I6th and 17th, in Chandler will be
Riven a moving picture exhibition
showing the dedication of Oklahoma’s!
Site at .San Francisco, with imposing1
hilitary ceremonies; views of the ex-
position grounds and buildings; the
great feature moving pictures re-
cently taken of Oklahoma City, in-
cluding street scenes, tall buildings,
packing plants; the “’89’ers urn”, etc.’
These pictures will also be exhibited
at Stroud Saturday night, the 18th
•and at Prague Monday night, the
2°th. Later the commission expects
to send here the moving pictures of
Tulsa and Muskogee.
One of Lincoln county’s most pop-
ular ladies has been named in the
contest for the selection of two
young ladies of the state, one of pale- j
face and one of Indian descent to
represent the state at the opening of
the exposition and to dedicate Okla-
homa’s building, with a two weeks’
trip to the exposition, all expenses
paid, as guests of the commission.
Everyone attending the picture
shows of the commission will be en-
titled to cast two vites for our can-
didate and every purchaser of a
brick is entitled to cast 100 votes.
Let’s help put Oklahoma and also
“Lincoln County” on the map at
Frisco.

MARRIED
LESSEES UNION MEETING.
Alva, Okla., October 12, 191,3.
Mr. George Smith,
Chandler, Okla.
Dear Sir:—I will hold a meeting for
the lessees of the state land in Payne
county on the 1st day of November
and at Guthrie on the 3rd day of
November and at Shawnee on the
4th day of November. If you want
and will, if there will be a crowd
I will meet the lessees of Lincoln
county on ,the 5th at Chandler, if
they want. I woull prefer that the
lessees close to Guthrie go there,
and those in the south part go to’
Shawnee, if they can. I have been
writing to other states and find that
in other states they protect the agri-
cultural lessee against damage done
by an oil and gas lessee more than
they do in Oklahoma. As you know
we have hired Elmer Thomas to take
up three cases that will be of much
help to the lessees of all state land.
Now, if you want me (either of you)
write at once and I shall insist that
you try and get all the lessees in
your county out. Send cards to all
you have the names of and adver-
tise in all local papers. Remember
Saturday the 1st in Payne county;
Monday the 3rd, at Guthrie and
Tueslay at Shawnee, if you want and
at Chandler on Wednesday, if I have
to. Mr- Paris will be with me I
expect.
We should perfect the organiza-
tion for the protection against the
oil and gas lessees,
Yours truly,

The following report is a good one
for the first month of school in some
respects, while in some it is a very
poor one. There is one thing (hat
can be done by the patrons of the
school to assist the teachers in get-
ting better results, and that is to
see that their children get to school
on. time twenty days in the month.
There are some children who are al-
ways coming in late and others who I
are coming as early as eight o’clock,
now why not teach the children to
inT Th 3 ,Cernin time 6Very mor"-
n •' l * eathers are filing to do
their best to break up this practice
and they ask your cooperation.
Mrs. Ambler’S room was first in
the matter of best record as to tard-
ies; she had no tardies. Miss Besse
Gill,am s room was second with one
tardy.
The poorest record in respect to
Umhes was Miss Staubus’ room,!
which had 18 cases. Miss Newell’s
room had 8 eases, and the Junior-
Miss Belle Henry and H. L. Burris
of Okemah, were quietly married at
two o’clock last Sunday at the Meth-
odist parsonage, by Rev. Thomison.
Only the brides family witnessing
the ceremony. The happy couple left
on the afternoon train for their home
in_Okemah where the groo mis en-
gaged in the practice of law.
Belle has grown to womanhood
here and for the past two years has
been stenographer for Rittenhouse
and Rittenhouse. She met Mr. Bur-
ns when both attended business col-
oge at Guthrie. The best wishes of
the Tribune and a host of friends go
with this couple to their new home.
O
After the first of next January the
county treasurer will have charge of
“ 8ch°o1 distr'ct funds except in-
dependent districts. This is in ac-
cordance with the new law.
This law was demanded by teach
ecs because they think it will make
all school warrants worth par.
U will not affect warrants in Lin-
coln county as it is one of the few
counties where school warrants have
been at par for severa, yfiars
adds considerable to the work of the
county treasurer.

1 No more are mortgages listed for
taxation by the assessor. A new
law went into effect about ten days
ago requiring the tax to he paid on
mortgages at the time they are filed.
The rate of taxes on mortgares
is as follows per $100:
5 years or more, 50c, 3 years or
more 30c.
Less than three years, 20c.
Mortgage less than $100, 50c.
During the first ten days the
treasurer collected $85.00.
Ihis law- will compel! the payment
of taxes on foreign mortgages and
a mortgage cannot he released and
cannot he U3cd as evidence in court
until the tax la paid.
The tax is apportioned the same as
other taxes according to the location
of the real estate. The law applies
only to real estate mortgages and is
expected to result in many thousands
of dollars of taxes which has hereto-
fore escaped taxation.
One proportion that is puzzeling
everybody is what to do with mort-
gages filed before July 1st. Are
they subject to the tax under the
new law? .The question will be put
to the Attorney General by the coun-
ty attorney

GOT HUNTING LICENSE FOR A
MARRIAGE LICENSE.
Down at Pryor Creek recently a

said he wanted to get a license,
meaning a marriage license . Mr.

cense business hut had been selling
a great many hunting licenses and
naturally thought the man wanted a
hunting license and he proceeded to
write one out. When he had finish-
ed he folded it up and handed it to
the man, who paid for it and rammed
it down in his inside coat pocket
without looking at it.
He was to he married the next day
to a fair bride on Rowe’s Prairie and
you can imagine their surprise when
the preacher asked for the license
und discovered it was a hunting li-
