From M. Collar,

| I'D. IIaEs:-Having promised you to
let you know my opinion of Oklahoma
and the news in general. will now say
that Oklahoma is just as stated in vour
paper from the Dodge boys of King
Fisher You just 90 and see in nv store
the pictures OF Oklahoma or Guthrie.
The soil is red. The water is of reddish
looking color: there are MANY cloudy
days: dew is every morning and does not
dry up until about Il O'Clock Il. m. The
air in this country is always damp. and
consequently there is no reason why the
farmers could not raise wheat and corn.
especially rs this country is abou; | 900
feet above the level of the sea. The
Rocky Mountains do not control or man
age this part of the country. The grass
is mostly of the blue stem sort. Trees
are of all sorts and very large Nature
raised them. So you must now come TO
your own conclusion if this country will
ever be any good or not. II will not re-
quire you seventeen years to find out.
One season. the first one. will be suiii
cient to tell considerable about the land.
and | an Informed near Oklahoma CITY
that the lands are still better, being more
level. Kansas furnished this country

ward. VIM. Tilghman, james Arment
and Tom Jones are elected members to
prepare charter for the city and laws
for the city council. They will work
for the benefit of Guthrie, just as K. W.
Evans as says: No step backward.
this to be land for the free and a home
for the brave" There are in all about
thirty or forty Ford county people here
at present. 1t is not very lively. as the
settlers are allowed to stay six miles
away from their land. so that there are
not so many on their claims. Garden
City is represented in Guthrie; so is
kinsley and from nearly every county in
the state of Kansas you can find people,
but all will not stay, some of the settlers
will do like some of the Cinnamon, make
all they can and then 90 back.
Yours truly,
NJ. COLLAR.

They Went Fishing.

A party of gentlemen went out TO Duck
Creek fishing on last Sunday. and just as
they started back they broke a wheel off
one of the buggies Two of the gentle
men proposed to take the other buggy
and come to the city after another wheel
This was finally agreed toby the rest of
the party. who concluded to fish until
their return. They fished until about 8
o'clock that night when the rain storm
came up, and they all sought shelter in
the broken buggy. They staid there un-
til three o'clock when it stopped raining
and they started for home through the
mud leading the team after them; they
arrived in the city about ) o clock de-
iapitated looking lot of individuals hav-
ing had nothing TO eat during their visit
at Duck Creek except fish, which the
clerk attempted to roast. and which
made them all sick except Jack and he
said he only felt sick" The question
of all on their arrival here, was where
were the two whom they sent after the
wheel. Did they get lest in the storm
while returning? No. But they were
found after searching the city while.
hid away in back room both overcome
by sleep, and it was discovered that on
their arrival here they had got into kind
of mixed argument in which one could
be heard saying: Jack and myself have
got the job. but We had to give big
bond. The other was positive that he |
was the driver. and the buggy should not
move unless he drove The third party |
in the argument Mr. Best" finally out
done both of the Others. and laid them
away to rest, not however until he was |
entirely used up. II will be noticed that
the only fish in this article is the one that |
was roasted

A Unique Present.

\ very interesting episode occurred
Tuesday evening at the Post meeting of
the G. 4. r. in this city, Comrade Lep
pert. by his genius, had made very
unique ballot box to present to the Post.
He asked Comrade Rev. J. NJ. Wright to
present it to the boys. The box was COW
cred from view and the comrade began
his speech. He said life's duties, precepts
and work were full of symbols; wherever
We turn We see type representative of
something else-which teaches us les
son of life. The existence of this Post is
made possible by the facts of twenty five
years ago. and all parts of the defensive
portion of our country's soldiers are here
represented in the Post. The crossed
guns and bayonets would be typical of
conflict. the crossed swords typical of
the clash of arms, the anchor signifies
the holding of the naval battery in its
place, and the cannon is the type of war
in its strongest form. These emblems
were typical of conflict. and having
known the horrors of war, these symbols
should teach us that to 90 to war is a
grave responsibility and should never be
undertaken except in a righteous cause.
At this point the comrade raised the COW
ering from the yet unseen ballot box and
was greeted with a round of applause by
the expectant comrades.
Here was the box: On one side the
cross-guns, opposite the cross-swords;
mounted on top cannon on wheels, and
under Its muzzle an anchor. The ballots
are cast by putting them in the muzzle of
the cannon. and the comrade closed by
saying: Vote right or you may be
shot"
Comrade Powelson, in a few well
chosen words, accepted the gift on be-
half of the Post
A hearty vote of thanks was rendered
Comrade Leppert.
