NORTH ENlD'S BOOM.

| NORTH ENID. o. T.. Nov. 1S-[Special. ]
There is no abatement to the boom IN
| this city, and where it will end no one can
| tell. Our citizens, and Investors as we'll,
are satisfied with one thing, and that is
that this is going to be the principal dis
| tributing point for radius of country ex-
tending for more than thirty miles in
every direction. This is one of the reasons
of our great growth.
A switch engine has been sent here, and
| application has been made for another.
the one not being sufficient to handle the
cars. The switch which the company is
now putting down when completed will
be one of the longest on the system, hav-
ing capacity for nearly 200 cars 1t will
also run to the Anheuser- Busch ice manu-
factory aud cold storage plant at the north
end of the yards. 1t is believed that the
turn-table and round house IL be located
near the bridge. near the artesian spring.
The big stock and feeding yards are TO 90
up on the east side Of the track and at the
south end of the yards. SIX additional
shipping clerks and another operator have
been sent here this week. The company
Will commence its big steam elevator
early III the spring to be ready for the
grain raised next summer. IL will be
the section line on Oklahoma avenue.
The new passenger depot will be opened
Monday. 1t is ii very pretty building.
The qualification OF our citizens knows
no bounds. They realize now that the
company is going TO make North Enid
railroad center. and the great middle di-
vision of the system west of the Missouri
river. The town company reports big
sales of lots.
The Aspey & Wenzel brick block is COM
pleted, and work on the new hotel brick
block is going ahead, although the in
clement weather of the past few days has
delayed matters considerably.
A mass meeting was held here Tuesday
night to take action in regard to post
office. Our merchants and business men
have been begging the department for
postal facilities, but nothing but the
promise of an Office has rs yet material
lied. &. n. Whitaker, secretary of the
meeting was instructed to prepare de-
tailed statement of the towns growth,
the volume OF business done during the
first sixty days of the city's existence, the
population, the number OF business houses,
hotels and merchants. 1t is a serious task
for the people to be compelled to go three
and four miles for their mail every day,
and then be compelled to stand i'll line
four or five hours before they can get it,
or buy out the professional liner" who
M axes it u business to stand in line to sell
his chance. The memorial is to he sent
direct to President Cleveland, asking that
the Injustice practiced upoh North Enid
be recrified. Our people feel that because
the government ana the railroads may
have become involved in an issue over
which the settlers have no control, and
which they are in no way responsible for,
that they should not be made to suffer by
the administration. In the report being
prepared there is certified statement
from the station agent that Z, 100 cars of
freight have been received in North Enid
in sixty days. No other town in the terri
tory can make such showing.
