SHAWNEE GETS SHOPS.
Guthrie. o. T., Feb. 10.-The Shaw
nee Quill publishes the following: For
several weeks the people of Shawnee
have been on the anxious seat in regard
to the location of the Choctaw mach
Inc shops. But their anxiety has been
put TO an end. The proposition which
had been submitted by the Choctaw
Railroad company was accepted by our
people, and today Hon. J. W. McLoud,
attorney for the road, signed the con-
tract for their location at this place.
Our people are wild with joy. Business
will now take a jump and things in
general will boil and hum and sizz.
These shops means much for Shaw |
nee, as the company will spend lots Of
money on the buildings and round |
houses. Then too, the force necessary
n c1on 1Do I;
able addition to the town for the men |
who will find work in the shops are of |
that class whose labor is skilled and |
command the best of wages.
By the contract the company will be- |
gin the removal of the shops within |
fifteen days. Aside from what the |
company will move from South Meal |
ster to this point, they will add to very |
largely, as their present facilities are |
inadequate to do the work |
Of the road
To Oscar G. Lee and the gentlemen
who so ably assisted him in securing
the location Of the shops at this point,
every citizen and property owner is
under obligations. Mr.. Lee has been
active in the matter and has
worked ceaselessly and untiring, and is
pehaps, entitled to big share Of the
credit
The railroad company will do an i'm
mense amount of work at this place, a 8
the building Of the shops, the addi-
tfonal side tracks, wyes. etc. is no small
job, and will necessitate the expendi-
ture of many thousands Of dollars. the /
most of which will be spent with our
merchants, thus crea ting a boom that
he annals Of history has never yet re-
corded.
