here. The corn which receives
the first prize at the coming corn
carnival, will be entered in the list
for prizes at the Jamsstown exhi-
bition next year.
The prevailing opinion of the
eastern and northern farmers is
thnt wheat and cotton are t he only-
crops sucdessfully grown in Okla-
homa. This opinion is keeping
hundreds of corn growers from
coming here, and there is no bet-
ter way in which to set these peo-
ple right than by having a corn
carnival and “showing them” that
Oklahoma corn is a prize-winner
in size and quality ns well as in
quantity raised per acre.
Every paper published in Okla-
loma and Indian Territory should
agitate this question and get our
'armers interested to the degree of
selecting the best samples in their
neighborhood If this is done we
will have a display that will be the
means of bringing hundreds of
families to Oklahoma
A premium list will soon be
printed giving list of prizes and
names of varieties of corn; gener-
al instructions, information, etc.

the clerk of election of 1905 neg-
lected to tile the election returns,
etc., and are now seeking to make
their nets null and void on these
grounds.
The county commissioners and
the best lawyers in the territory
say that as the town boaid was
legally elected by the people and
served the people and held their
otice for their term of office with-
out a remonstrance, protestor con-
test that their acts ar* held to be
lawful and legal.
“To be. or not to be?” That is
the question. If Capitol Hill is
ever to amount to anything there
has got to be peace and harmony,
and if the board of trustees will
give half the time to the enforce-
ment of the;r own ordinances, '.tu
they are giving to annul those of
1905, they will receive the appro-
bation of nine-tent ns of our citi-
zens, and remove the pall that now
hangs over the Hill.

SIMS & LYON, Props-
A government by the people is
true democracy.
A corn carnival, equaling ;n im-
portance to the new stale, and bid.
ding fair to oe as large ns either
the Atchison, Kan., or Sioux City,
la., corn carnivals of world-wide
reputation, will be held in Okla-
homa City during the latter part
of the fall or early winter.
Interest in the proposed carnival
has been aroused by the business
men, retailers and jobbers of tha
city, who know the importance
and the splendid results that wil
follow the holding of such a fair
or carnival to the city us wtdl as
to the new state,
One hundred prizes will be of
fared. Eight or ten prizes will be
offered on each kind of corn sub
mitted and on exhibition. Every
county and recording district of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory
will bo invited to send exhibits,
the commercial clubs and business
men's organizations will be invited
to send samples of the boet corn
grawn in their vicinity.
That splendid results muy be
obtained from the holding of a
corn carnival, cannot be doubted.
It will be remembered that three
years ago the prize for the best ex-
hibition of corn at the ISt. Louis
world’s fair was given to Oklaho-
ma, as a result of the holding of a
territorial fair, the movement to-
wards which was started by Geo
Gardner of Oklahoma City, who
h is again shown a commendable
s irit of pride in his home state
and city, by again urging that
a carnival or corn show be held
At a meeting of the Christian
churches of the new state, held at
South McAlaeter, last week it was I (
decided to establish the new Bible
college at Norman. This school
will he the first and only theologi-
cal school in the territory and the
citizens of Norman are proud of
the fact that the management Iihb
chosen this town on account of the
small amount of vice which exists
here. Besides this the manage-
ment. of the new school desires to
come here so that their students
may enroll in the State University
and in this way the theological
school will not have to teach any
university branches. While atten-
littg a* seperato institution, the
students will have the benefits of
being near the largest school in
the state and will be allowed to
take sueb work as they uesire, and
will also be allowed the use. of the
university library of 20,COO vol-
umes.
Town Board Meeting.
The council met at Kaufman’s
Hall Wednesday night. Several
new ordinances were introduced,
none of which were passed upon,
but wore laid over until next Wed-
nesday night. Mr. Mitchell re-
signed ns trustee and Mr. Schill-
ing was appointed to fill the va-
cancy.
It seems that there is a division
among the members of the boaro.
making two distinct factions, and
the result is see-saw, sec-saw and
nothing done, One faction seems
very anxious to annul the acts
of the 1905 board of trustees who
were elected by the people* and
served the peojde satisfactorily to
the end of their term ot office.
Now comes the new board of
trustees some of whom, after serv-
ing two or throe months, find thnt
