Guthrie Beginning to Assume n Definite
Form-Many Buildings Erected.
GUTHRIE, /. T., May 2.-The surveyors en-
gagged in laying out anew the Guthrie town
site have succeeded in locating the interior
corners of the business quarter, and Mayor
Dyer at once issued an order to all property
owners to make their lots conform to the lines
laid down. The official survey will not be
completed before Saturday, and in the mean
time the representative men of Guthrie will do
their utmost to make the crisis of short dura-
ton when it does come.
The past two days have wrought many
changes in both Guthrie and Oklahoma City.
At least fifty buildings have been erected in
each place, all of them wooden with the
traditional square 'front.' Two banks are doing
business ia Guthrie and third will be in opera
ton this week. Supplies are being hauled in
by the railroads, and board and lodging may
now be secured for a reasonable sum. The
buildings are erected so that they may be easily
moved, and upon the conclusion of the survey
a general shifting of location may be looked
for.
In three or four weeks both towns will have
reached point when predictions as to their
future can be made with greater certainty.
The work of settling claims is proceeding
rapidly but there are few indications that set
tiers will do much toward improving lands this
year. Between Guthrie and Kingfsner there

WAsHlNeToNIs FEATURES.
Personal Appearance as Described by Da-
vid Aczerson i'm 1911.
TAIbany Exnress1


Washington had large thick nose, and it
was very red that day. giving me the impress
sion that he was not so moderate in the use of
liquors as he was supposed TO be. | found
aiterward that this was peculiarly. His nose
was apt to turn scarlet in a cold wind. He was
standing near a small camp FIRE, evidently lost
in thought, and making no effort to keep warm.
He seemed six and half feet in hight, was as
erect as an Indian and did not for a moment
relax from military attitude.
Washington's exact hight was six feet two
inches in his boots. He then a little lame
from striking his knee against tree. His eye
was so gray that it looked almost white, and
he had troubled look on his colorless face.
lie had piece of wOollen tied around his
throat and was quite hoarse. Perhaps the
throat trouble from which he finally died had
its origin about then.
WashingtOn's boots were enormous. They
were No 13. His ordinary walking shoes were
No. IL. His hands were large in proportion,
and he could not buy glove to fit him and
had TO have his gloves made to order. His
mouth was his strong feature, the lips being
always tightly compressed. That day they
were compressed so tightly as to be painful to
look at.
At that time he weighed 200 pounds and
there was no surplus flesh about him. He was
tremendously muscled and the fame of his
great strength was everywhere. His large tent,
when wrapped up with the poles, was so heavy
camp wagon. Washington would lift it with
one hand and throw it in the wagon easily
as if il were pair of saddlebags. He could
hold musket with one hand and shoot with
precision as easily as other men did with a
horse-pistol. His lungs were his weak point
and his voice was never strong.
He was at that time III the prime Of life. His
hair was a chestnut brown, his cheeks were
prominent, and his head was not large in con-
trast to every other part of his body, which
seemed large and bony at all points. His fin
ger joints and wrists we're so large as TO be gem
uine eurosities. As to habits at that period /
found out much that might be interesting. He
was an enormous eater, but was content with
bread and meat if he had plenty of it. But
hunger seemed to put him in rage. 1t was
his custom to take drink Of rum or whisky
on awakening in the morning.
OF course, all this was changed when he
grew Old. 1 saw him at Alexandria year be-
fore he died His hair was very gray and his
form was slightly bent. His chest was very
thin. He had false teeth, which did not fit, and
pushed his under lip outward.

pare for sudden changes of temperature; never

moist. Be careful not to catch fresh cold, but
cure the one YOU have. Wear flannel under
wear according 10 the season, which should be
changed for dry night and morning. Do but
this, and the RESOLNENT will exceed your
most sanguine expectations, and fulfill our
most confident promises.
