Good Week in Real Estate
Recorded.
ALL SECTIONS Op THE CITY
SHARE IN RAPID
GROVTH.
Nothing points more strongly to
the certainty of further rapid growth
for Woodward than does the activity
in building and real estate that is to
be seen on every hand.
In every section of the city the
sound of the hammer and the saw is
to be heard and reports of realty
transactions of importance are a
matter of daily occurrence.
Among the most important deals
recently recorded was the sale this
week of the beautiful Paullin farm
and residence property a mile west of
the center of Woodward. This pro-
perty, which was improved by J. W.
Miller, its former owner, and sold by
him to Mr. D. Paullin about 18 month
ago. The new purchaser, who pays
a consideration of $G,000 for the pro-
perty is a former resident of south-
ern Kansas and recently disposed of
a property there for about $9,000.
He expects to make Woodward his
home in the future. The property
includes 160 acres of land.
The purchaser is John Hammel of
Seeley, Kansas.
Another deal of some importance
and of much interest, is the purchase
by J. M. Reynolds of the site and
building known as the old adobe house
located on Main street in the ex*
treme east end of Woodward. Mr.
Reynolds bought the ground some
time ago bA has now decided to

The embodiment of this principle in the constitution of Oklahoma,
lies not so much in the adoption of the platform of any political or other
organization as in the rejection of the present and living antithesis of this
principle, as it is found in the personality, the character, the record and
debate f“ m"G»S °"e E’ A“* Candidate f°r C0"8ttoti»Ml
Henry E. Asp stands before you, citizens of Oklahoma and of Wood-
ward county, charged with having proved himself unworthy of trust as an
exponent of tne people’s interest.
The charge is undisputed, unrefuted, undenied.
r j }uU’ *nd*v*dual> your own mind, believe that the charge is
founded on sufficient evidence.
Your personal conviction is that Henry E. Asp is guilty.
So strong has this conviction become in the minds of the Republicans
of Guthrie, whose desires were trodden under foot in his nomination, that
an independent candidate for whom conscientious Republicans can vote is
to be put into the race against him.
So strong is his pernicious influence regarded in other sections that
a Republican candidate for delegate in one of the Osage districts has re-
fused to make the race for the seat and has left the Democratic candidate
unopposed.

The growth of the city to the east
and northeast is forecasted in two
deals in property lying in that direc*
tion. John Garvey has bought for
$4,000, 80 acres of ground lying to
the east of the Garvey & Merriam
Second addition. The* property is
bought of Mrs. Lee.
Mrs. Lee fallowed the sale of this
property by purchasing a consider-
ab 1 e tract lying north and
East of the city, along the railroad.
She will improve this property by the
erection of several small cottages
which will he for rent. Dr. Lee also
has some property in the vicinity of
his wife’s tract.
F. M. Farrier, who has just com-
pleted a six-room rooming house on
Main street, west of the MonWzuma
hotel has leased the building to pro-
prietor Henson of the Montezuma.
Mr. Henson will use it as an overflow
or anuex for his hotel and is already
negotiating with Mr. Farrier for a
forty foot addition to the building to
be erected by Mr. Henson, as the ca-
pacity of the annex is not sufficient
even for the present needs of the
Montezuma.

FIFTEEN
THOUSAND
Daily’Paid For Woodward
County Broom Corn.
secret of success of the
WOODWARD COUNTY FAR-
MERS.
Eighty dollars pt ton for broom
corn grown near Higley, in the
southeastern part of the county, and
this with crop condition in other
corn districts good, and no scarcity
of the product in sight.
This is the showing that Wood-
ward has to her credit thus early in
the buying season of 1906. R. E.
Stout, a well known farmer of Higley
raised this fine product, and John
Hart of Lockport, New York, was
glad to get it at the price named.
Buyers in Woodward say the prod-
uct this year is of average quality,
but it is noticeable that they are
willing to pay $65 for the average of
thc product brought in, which is bet-
ter than a normal average price for
broom corn, and is the best possible
indication of the quality of the yield
of Woodward county corn fields.
That the high grade product is not
all from one locality is proved by the
fact that considerable corn from the
north half of county has sold at $65
and better, some going at as high m
$72.

iresent season’s business in the Wood*
