The Work of Apportoning Oklahoma
Worlds Fair Matters

GUTHRIE, u. l., sept. A.-lSpeclal.j i
The apportionment board is still hard at
work. Owing to the fact that railroad
and telegraph facilities are poor in the
western counties, the board has thought
best to give to the public the decisions so
far as they are concerned.
Thr First representative district, as de-
cided upon, embraces the counties of Bea-
yer, d. L and L. The Second representa-
tive district embraces the counties of G, G
and II. The First council district en-
braces the counties of Beaver, C, d, E, +.
G and II.
The board began the work of apporton-
ment In the northwest corner of Okla
homa After completing the work in the
new counties it will take up Kingfisher,
Canadian, Oklahoma, Cleveland, A. Il,
Payne and last of all Logan. The procla
NATION will not be issued until the work is
completed; but, as it takes so much time
to reach the western counties, the secre-
tary has been Instructed to notify the
county clerks of the respective counties
In the Cheyenne and Arapahoe country
and Beaver county that the proclamation
will declare the lines to be as above stated.
The districts above mentioned are advised
to go ahead and hold their elections.
Probably kingtisher and Canadian coun-
ties Will be dIStricted tonight.
The following letter bearing upon the
worlds fair building was received from
L. X. Cannon by the editor of the
State Capital:
please find enclosed clipping from the
Albuquerque Democrat. | have seen a
portion of New Mexicos exhibit, and we
shall have to beStir ourselves to make one
worthy TO be shown in the same building
with theirs. The people here seem to favor
an adobe building aud as adobes are but
Mexican bricks baked in the sun, ! can see
no objection to using this material, pro-
vided that the architectural design is sat
to the AOklahoma commission.
the railroad company offers
to convey the material to Chicago gratuit-
ously, and the building would cost much
less than heretofore contemplated. If an
adobe building should be decided upon,
and when erected should be covered with
staff like the buildings already constructed
mt Jackson Pa. no difference from frame
or brick could be detected.
Il am exceedingly anxious that our
farmers should bring TO Us the best they
have for our exhibit, as we can beat these
people here only IN agricultural products,
and OUTS certainly Will eclipse theirs il
we make show which will fairly repre-
sent our territory"
