COMMISSION FORM
IT IS ROTTEN
The park board has
all along persistently
refused to let the pub-
lic know* Why?
PARK BOARD.
i
Alderman Donnelly started some-
thing, maybe, by introducing a reso-
lution asking tor a report from the
park commission.
The park matter has ben kept in
the dark and not even the mayor al-
lowed to know what went with the
money.
The $400,000 voted wa3 quickly eat
up and another $200,000 asked for
and voted at the last bond election.
The park board is a striking in-
stance of the ‘‘commission form” of
government that some republicans
have been dying for and maybe we can
get an idea as to what the commis-
sion form means before this report is
-disposed of.
What they have done with $000,000
is the question that everyone has been
asking, and if Donnelly can wring from
that autocratic body the minutest in-
sinuation on this subject it will make
Mike immortal. The council tried it
before and were told to "go to."
But we know Mike, and this "go
to” business may sound different to
him. There are all sorts of yaller
rumors about that Park matter. Let’s
make them divulge.
IS AN IMPROVEMENT.
C Avenue has ben graded and level
<;d up this week, and it certainly is an
improvement. The mountains and
valleys left by the ii •w sidewalks will
all disappear in time we hope, and
our streets be level as they should be
The sewer will son be completed be-
tween C and D from Robinson to
Broadway, which is another improve-
ment.
The ladies of the United Brethren
•church gave a social at the church
Wednesday night which was a great
success. The high school band fur
nished music and played some very
pretty pieces during the evening.
Frank Maxey was a visitor on our
streets this week.
Mr. Stevens and family, who have
been visiting relatives here, left for
their home in Texas fast Wednesday.
They were accompanied by Charley
Stevens and Mr. Armstrong will take
liis place in the Flood grocery.
G. W. Layman and wife have taken
over the Northcutt store.
Mr. and MiC. T. G. Payne enter
latned the former’s b.other and fam-
ily on July 4th.

Lyford, Cameron Co., Texas,
June 27, 11)10.
“All about the southern part of Tex-
as, around Raymondsvilie and Lyford."
Its resources are possibilities are
great. The climate is ideal. The Gulf
breeze makes it very pleasant through
the summer season. The thermometer
registers from 80 to 100 degrees. It
seems a3 warm in Oklahoma when the
thermometer registers 70 degrees, as
it does here when the register is 100.
I have been here nearly a week and
have seen but few house flies, and no
mosquitos to speak of.
The chances for making money
farming in this region are great. All
kinds of farm products can be raised
here, such as' cotton, corn, ribbon
cane, peas, peanuts, melons, etc. Corn
will yield from 25 to 50 bushels per
acre.
I have just been over one man's
farm who lias forty acres of cotton in
cultivation and lie says he will make
40 blues off of it. This is dry farfn-
ing.
They have the boll weevil here, but
as cotton is planted early in February,
it is mare before Hie boll weevil makes
its appearance.
By irrigation the ygrow from 200 Jo
000 bushels of Bermuda onions par
acre. These will bring from $1.00 to
$2.00 per bjshel in the market. Cab-
bage grow tine in this section also,
us well as all kinds of vegetables,
which are raised every month in the
year.
This is a semi-tropical country. Dif-
ferent varieties of fruits grow here,
bu' , at -ranges, lemons, grape fruit,
etc. there are large groves of or-
apes and figs to be seen ail through
...is region. I have just seen one
three-year-old orange tree that litis 52
oranges on it now. Grapes grow here
to perfection.
I have talked with a few farmers
who keep milch cows. They are but
little expense, as grass is green all the
year. People never think of feeding
their cows, as they run on tlio range
and give about as much milk as they
do in Oklahoma with exp 'lisive feed
The farmers that sell milk get ten
cents per quart, and get forty and fifty
cents par pound for butter. Poultry
raisins is carried on extensively, and
tugs bring twenty-five cants per dozen
a nutshell, from what I have seen am)
beard from old settlers, this elimat^
is as near perfect as any climat3
could possibly be.
After seeing this country, I would
not have the best quarter section of
land in Oklahoma as a free gift, with
the understanding that I had to . live
on it a lifetime. Yours respectfully,
J. E. DAVIS.

Marrying for votea.
Marryiug for vofcea waa a
device of old time British
election ageut8. Aa the law
stood before the aeform act
of 1832 widows of freemeh on
marrying again made their
second husbands freemen and
therefore voters. Ai election
times widows weae conaen-
quently paid handsomley to
go through a formal marrage
with a voteiess bachier, who,
for a consideration, simply a-
greed co support the candi-
date. The pair were married,
the man voted according to
instructions, and then he aud
his wife, standing on eitner
side of a tombstone, said,
“Death us do part.’’ with this
literal fulfillment of the mat-
rimonial vow they regarded
their marridge dissolved At
the last election in Bristol
before L832 a hundred women
gave votes to men.
