The friends of the Alva Normal school
bill have yet some hopes that the measure
will pass and become law. They offer no
good grounds for such a law. That Alva
has mighty good claim on the territory
for such An institution there is no doubt
and certainly the arguments offered in its
favor are good strong ones. Your cores
pondent, however, Is inclined to think that
there is no hope for the bill. The cards
seem to be stacked against the capital OF
Woods county. II is nothing more than
justice to compliment the local committee
of that town who have had the matter In
charge. They worked faithfully and in
their efforts displayed good tactics and fine
ability TO present facts.
