and Mrs, Wm, Thompson and other
relatives,

leaving Pryor and was awarded a
large cash prize some time ago for
being the youngest inventor in his
state. He is just returning from
Washington, D. C, where he secured
a patent on his latest invention, a
wireless receiver which differs from
others, in as much as it can take
seven different messages at the
same time. Roy has his patent flh
exhibitionat Parkers drug store.

station and get returns direct from

THE SAUNA ROUTE
The slogan of the Mayes county
section of the Tulsa to Siloam
Springs highway is "Hard Surfaced
by December 1,1917,"
The Mayes county section of the
Tulsa to Siloam Springs highway is
certainly very fortunate in having
an abundance of permanent road
material right on the route. The
big hill fivt miles west of Pryor will
furnish material to build quite a
stretch of permanent road and at
the same time cut the hiU down to
traffic grade There still seems to
be an inexhaustable supply of the
natural macadam at Cemetery hill
available for use, The limestone
further south on the route has prov-
ed to be an excellent road material.
Still further east there is a big bed
of road material similiar to the kind
ased near Pryor,
East of Grand river aloag the old
Salins-Roee trail there is as fine a
natural rock and gravel road bed as
could be wished for, This trail can
and no doubt will be worked into
one of the best stretches of all round
auto traffic roads on the routes. The
one thing that will be against tour-
irt travel on this abort line, to some
extent is the fact that Saline creek
is unbridged,
Reports from southern Delaware
county indicate much interest in
this cross country highway and the
favorable attitude of the county
commissioners toward the immedi-
ate bridging of Flint creek,
The badness mens dub of Siloam
Springs are alive to the importance
of this cutoff and stand ready and
willing to assist Oklahoma in every
way they can,
We understand the bridge proper
is completed and with anything
like favorable weather the approach-
es should be finished and the bridge
opened for traffic by Dec. 1st,
