Nobody thought that Edmond could
stand another paper, but it has a new one.

"April fool" in this.

paper will get a spell of yawns and suggest
an editorial convention.
1t is dollars to cents that the man who

cepting aid, will be ahead OF the man who
depended entirely upon it, by this time
next year.
Yukon, the town between Ell Reno and
Oklahoma, on the new Choctow line, Is
having genuine building boom. One
lumber firm has ordered thirty-six car
loads of lumber for that town.
Guthrie has man who has no legs.

walk, he can stand readily and steadily.
Edmond News: John Reynolds will
plant twenty-five acres of flax on his
claim near town. He tried raising fax
last year and claims it will be very
profitable crop for the farmers here. Mr..
Ben Light near Britton, will also put IN
thirty acres.
Guthrie News: The title OF the realty of
every city is of most paramount import
ance to its prosperity. Before the town
site commissioners came, If one stopped TO
think how the multitude of contentious
were to be settled he could hardly think
of it being done short of five years at the
most. When the commissioners-Messi
McDaid, Shanklin and Merriweather--
came, they undertook the job of giving
deeds to zoos lots 365 of which were con-
tested. This made, seemingly, contest
for every day in the ye r, if they were each
to last but twenty-four hours; but many
of them lasted over three days. Now, IN
less than one year those 800 cases have
been sifted aud tested Ind weighed until
only ten remain on the docket, undisposed

issuing of their titles is about finished. |
This is big work and diligent, but the |
largest merit is not In the expedItepess |
with which it was done, but the manner. |
Strange as it is-considering the a. |
most labyrinthipe condition of the citieS |
titles when they undertook their duties
the commissioners have given general sat
isfaction, and it is now the supreme opin-
ion that the city was blessed in getting |
three as Ievel-headed, judicial, able men to
arbitrate the title of realty between Its
citizens as Messrs. McDaid Shanklin
and Merriweather. 1t is thought that
their work will be finished up about the LIST
of April, and it would be well for the cti-
zens to look around towards retaining
them to the settlement of East Guthrie or
Capital Hill, if there is any assurance tina.
