Hash writing, he says, seems to

entertainment for readers, and with
no regard for facts. IL is doubtful
whether a single homicide has occurred
in Oklahoma. None of those told

plenty Of food in the new towns from
the first and no lack of water.
The elections have been noisy.

as most city primaries. The
people have been almost without
exception. not only peaceful but
good-humored in their differences OF
opinion.
The dust in Guthrie and Kingfsher
has been disagrseable. just as the dust
is every where. so has the heat in the
middle of the day. The nights
are very cool and pleasant.
