First. You will only pay 2.9 cents
taxes on each hundred dollars, or
29 cents Interest on each thousand
dollars assessed valuation of your
property.
Second. Do you know that over
one-half of these taxes will be paid
by people living outside of Shawnee?
perhaps you do not know that on
Broadway from Main to Ninth street
and on Main from Bell to Beard
street alone there Is over a half mil-
lion dollars worth of property owned
by out-of-town people, who never
contribute one cent out of their
pockets to advance any project i:i
Shawnee. On Eroadway alone, from
Ninth street to main the property is
worth $367,500, and only $54,000 of
this property is owned by Shawnee
citizens. It is a conservative est!
mate to say that one-half of the
property value in Shawnee is owned
by non-residents. Therefore, It is
no more than right that these pro-
perty owners carry their part of the
burden in building up our city'.
This $50,000 Is not lost, wasted or
thrown away. The city buys from
the Baptist University 530 lots which
will increase in value, and In ten
years time will be worth $100,000.
This will repay the bonds and have
a profit left should the city decide
to sell.
Third. If the Baptist University
can sell $50,000 worth of property
It will enable them to complete their
building and will decide for all time
the location of this great school in
Oklahoma.
" Fourth
the money necessary to complete our
contract .
A vfite for the bonds will mean a
vote for greater Shawnee, and still
greater things to come.
It is safe to say 'that "if
we vote these bonds, In less than
ten years there will be more than
one half million dollars worth of
property on the Baptist University
campus, and 1,000 pupils enrolled.
At the very least calculation one
pupil will spend $300 a year, making
$300,000 turned loose In Shawnee
every year.
The groceryman, meat market,
clothier, the book shop and station-
ary man, barber and everybody will
be directly financially benefited. Be-
sides this, a school of this kind will
Induce people to move here and
build homes. Every piece of prop-
erty in Shawnee will Increase in
value. Vacant buildings will be oc-
cupied, thereby stimulating the
growth and spirit of our city.
Last, but not least. Shawnee is
morally obligated to fulfil her con
tract with the Baptist people of
Oklahoma, by providing the balance
of the bonus necessary to complete
the University building, which is
now one-half finished.
Mr. Geo. E. McKinnis,
Shawnee, Okla.
Brother McKinnis:—If your citl
zens succeeds in proding the balance
of our bonds the university will be
a reality for Shawnee.
With the building there completed
the outlook for the university
lust as bright as It can be. Our
debts can be raised and we can have
our buildings under way in a few
months.
The Baptists of the state are with
yon.

I send a few lines for the paper.
Sincerely,
E. D. CAMERON, Pastor,
Central Baptist Church,
Muskogee Oklahoma.
Letter From W. S. Wiley.
Hon. Geo. F. McKinnis, Shawnee, Ok.
Dear Brother: I am greatly pleas-
ed at the feeling of our people re-
garding the university.
There was a splendid feeling of
faith among all the delegates that
the city would finish the building
which of course settles everything
with us.
The temper of our people regard-
ing the university was to be seen
in the very enthusiastic vote taken
on the subject. It is to be sincerely
hoped that you will not fail in your
present plans.

this not strong body, with almost no
money in right, has entered up this
great enterprise.
Soon after the close of the Revolu-
tionary War the Shakers had part In
a so-called religious revival tha
swept the country of that time. The.'
originated Ir England, but, but in
the form known here they settled
first near Albany and later spread in-
to Central New York. The community
in Southwestern Ohio had its begin-
ning near the first of the las.
century and grew out in part of a
religious revival that had swept
Kentucky and many other parts of
the Ohio Valley. There was built
upon the land a vast community of
houses, barns, halls and a church
most of them built to eudure for
generations. Tho Shakers dwindled
in numbers, as have many other
communities, until for years tho
church has been used as a storage
house for grain. Many acres of
land remained untitled.
The United Brethren will make
here a denomination headquarters
for charitlej. The buildings are to
bo used for homes for tha aged
ministers for orphans, and possibly
some will to utilized for a time a>
least for schools. It is estimated
that $600,000 would hardly replace
the building's available. Only a few-
Shakers remain, hardly more than
enough to transfer the property, and
for them one building Is reserved
for a period of ten years, at the end
of which t'me, It is calculated none
will be left. Possession is to bo-
