there is 81 900 in wheat for each

Letter From Oklahoma.

Orie, Ok, Oct "a, 1897
EDITOR DEMOCRAT,
DEAR SIR-Excuse my delay, for l
have been extremely busy. Wheat
seeding is progressing slow on account
of dry weather. The farmers as rule
let the good blowing season go by, as
they were so busy threshlng and
marketing wheat. There is yet good
deal of plowing to be done for wheat if
rain comes in time. This section of
country is in good shape. The wheat
crop ave eraged close around go bushels
per acre. Corn will make from 80
to so bushels per acre. Grass is fine
this season, and lots of hay put up and
being shipped out at good prices. To
take it all around this has been great
year for Oklahoma. The H. & S. R.
R. Co. are now grading a route from
Medford to Blackwell and on to Join
with the Santa Fe. The company ex.
poets to complete this route as early as
possible. which will give US a con-
venient outlet. The road misses my
place one and half miles, and there
will be a new town two and half
miles east of US. We expect to soon
see good town here, and it will be
surrounded by fine country and
good distance from other towns.
Yes we are ''f1ying high" down here,
but haven't seen any fpersons quite
big enough fools to "chaw money!" as
! saw by the DEMOCRAT you have there.
Yours in C. H. & r.

Te Get New Uniforms,

At the meeting of the fire company
of this city last Friday night it was
decided to put plans under way to raise
fund for the purpose of buying new
and aRproprlate uniforms for the
sixteen members of the company. II
was decided to ask for voluntary con.
tr1butions from the general public; to
arrange entertainments, dances, etc..
to raise such fund. A committee
composed of Messrs. Stoke, Wilcox,
Glissman, Morrison and Wilhide was
appointed to act in the matter OF
putting plans under way, and to also
ascertain the cost of good. substantial
uniforms.
The proposition of the DEMOCRAT,
Beacon, and Tribune, to contribute rs
per cent Of all money received from
new subscribers to their papers up to
Jan. 1, 1898, was thankfully accepted.
On Saturday subscription paper
was circulated among our business and
professional men, and very literally
signed. indicating that the citisens are
glad to aid the boys In their efforts to
make a more presentable appearance
in public, and that they appreciate the
usefulness of the Fire Company. 1t is
estimated that it will require upwards
of $500 to procure 10 good uniforms,
such as those furnished the fremen in
the larger cities. These uniforms are
to be the company property, and moi
that of individual members.

The Faithful Fireman.

The faithful fireman merits the ap-
plause of every good citizen. He is a
public guardian. He is always on duty.
He stands In readiness at any hour day
and night to protect the citizens
property and person. The alarm of
danger is to him call to duty-a duty
that demands of him the risk of body
and limb. No man puts more at stake
than be. No work is so dangerous, none
is beset with so many pitfalls. ''He
takes his life in his hands," Few of
know the hundreds of fervent prayers
for the safety OF loved ones vouchsafed
to Him who is the guardian of all as
each alarm of fire goes in-supplica-
tions from loving wives and devoted
little children to protect from harm the
fathers, brothers, and husbands who
hurry from the engine houses to battle
with the flames when the FIRE alarm is
sounded. No one knows when will
come the crash, the collapse at almost
any fire means death, mourning. be-
reaved and grieved hearts. Stand by
the fremen. Honor and uphold them.
They are the gallant and ever vigilant
guardians of our homes and our lives.

An ordinance creating a licensed
"6ill'Poster" will probably be taken
under discussion at the next meeting
of the city council. We do not believe
a majority of the council will favor it.
The citysis hardly large enough for
such metropolitan dewdads. One
thing ought to be done, however, and
that is penalty assessed to the fellow
