BLESSINGS ENJOYED BY ALVA
Include Fine Rains and Huge Ship
ments of Woods County Products

Alva, o. T., Oct 26.-Woods county was
last night visited with a steady, soaking
rain Of over twelve hours, which puts
this section in better shape for the wheat
crop of 1900 than in any year since the
opening in 1893. While property in Alva
is cheap, compared with towns in the
east part, we are enjoying a healthy
growth, not only in residence property,
hut the sale of farms TO men OF means
from Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska and Mis-
souri,. who know a good thing when they
see it. The wheat shipments from Ava
are as follows since August /: Cole
Bros. $50 cars; Crowall Bros, AIS; George
H. Harbaugh, 425; P. c. EMERSON, 400;
Hunter Milling Co. 375; Schafrer & Co,
80; Mil & Co, 200. Total, 2.47O cars. Be
sides this, Emerson, Sheady & Co. have
shipped. and have on hand about 100 cars
OF broom corn. Hundreds of cattle and
hogs have been shipped out and the i'm
mense amount Of merchandise received
over the Santa Fe for Alya is beyond be-
lief. One firm alone Will sell in 1899 over
s1j000o worth Of goods. The brick block
being erected by H Z. Noble and the
Exchange bank is one Of the finest in
the territory, being 5Ox150 feet, two sto-
ries. with pressed brick front. Alva has
TO complaint to make, either about crops.
rainfall or business matters.

WAS GOOD AT CATCHING ON
"A. y. Peaster Knows the Ropes Bet
ter Than He Ever Expected To.

Guthrie. o. T.. Oct "a. y. Peaster
Of Oklahoma City had most fortunate
escape from what might have proved a
fatal accident, according to the Times
Journal. Peaster IS an employe IN the
Alton-Davis wholesale grocery building.
He was on the third floor at the time the
accident occurred. The elevator shaft
had. been left open and the car was at
the bottom. Peaster went TO pass the
open shaft, closely around which goods
were stacked which had Just been IN
loaded from the elevator As he passed
the yawning shaft he took hold Of a bar
rel to steady himself thinking & was
filled; but instead the barrel was empty
and very light Peaster lost his balance
and fell backwards into the open shaft
carrying the empty barrel with him.
Other employees around the shaft who
saw Peaster fan stood horror-strickeu
expecting to hear in an instant the dun
sickening thud Of Peaster's body on the
first floor, IS feet below. They heard.
instead, the crash CT the empty bar
rel, when they jumped tot he SHAFT and
peered into Il they saw Peaster grasp
ing the ropes II the elevator Of the Sec
ond floor landing. As ne fell backward
into the shaft ne grasped wildly about
him and clutched the ropes. stopping
himself His hands were fearfully lay
cerated and he was brushed from the
contact with the timbers. but very thank
fuI that it was TO worse.

PERIOD OF FESTIVITIES

--ParadeS Next Week.
PERIOD OF FESTIVITIES

Guthrie. Oct pa continuance OF the
rainy weather which played havoc with
yesterdays and today's program OF
Guthrie's carnival, has caused the carni-
val committee TO extend the time orig
inally allotted to the festivities until
Wednesday Of next week, closing that
night with the grand queens ball. Ow-
ing'to the stress Of weather conditions,
it has been impossible to hold any of the
scheduled parades, but it is hoped that
the weather viii clear sufficiently to per-
init Of the grand military parade tomor-
row afternoon. On Saturday will be
given the carnival and travelling mems
parade. and Saturday night the Karnival
Krewe ball will be held Monday will be
given a horse show, the principal fea-
ture Of which viii be the l25 blooded ami
mails now gathered at the fair grounds
for Saturdays and next weeks races.
Tuesday evening viii occur the mer-
chants big parade, with a repetition Of
the carnival parade. and on Wednesday
afternoon Will occur the big feature of
the entire carnival-the flower parade.
The management Of the Midway attrac-
Gions has consented to the above rear
rangement Of the program, so that all
the original and attractive features will
he retained next week for the amuse-
ment of the visitors. Special trains will
be run by the Santa Fe Saturday and
Wednesday and reduced rates will be in
dorce through the extended period.

of "Old Oklahoma" seem equally well
adapted TO this cereal The town of Kine
nsner claims now TO be the greatest pri-
mary wheat market in the United States,
buying and shipping over one million
bushels per year. Kingfisher lies in the
red-clay belt, but Kay County, which is
IN the brown soil region of the Cherokee
strip, produced more wheat last year than
any other county in the entire country,
so that the question whether the brown
prairie loan or the red clay siol Is bet
ter adapted for wheat is still an open
one
The claim Of excellence as a stock coun-
try which is made for Oklahoma does not
rest so much upon q luxurious growth Of
native grasses as upon the great yield of
forage crops. such as KafIir corn, sorg-
gnum, and alfalfa. All farmers who keep
stock raise fodder. The buffalo grass
which is the common heritage of the pra-
lrles' is too short to yield much hay a
very rank, coarse grass, called Johnson
grass, which came originally from Afri-
ca, and was introduced here from John
son County, Texas, makes an excellent
fodder, but the Legislature, at the in
stance of former Texans, passed bill
making the raising of it a felony, be-
cause Of its propensity to spread far and
wide and occupy the cultivated fields.
Some farmers keep on raising 1t, how
ever, IN spite of the law. and 1t is one
of the most profitable crops. Alfalfa IS
much raised and produces two or three
crops wear. On account OF the short
winters and the abundance of nutritious
cultivated forage crops, stock-raising is
a very attractive industry.
Theirs is very little of the picturesque
remaining in Oklahoma life. There are
no cowboys with wide brimmed hats and
pistols strapped to their waists, and the
men are much better judges OF ploughs
than Of revolvers. The women wear the
latest fashions, even to the felt hats with
stuck in them. In every town
there are churches of nearly every denom-
nation, and life goes on in just as quiet
and orderly a fashion as In Illinois or
Iowa. Some peculiar social interest comes
from the fact that in almost every town
one meets people from nearly every state
N the Union. No matter what state you
yourself may come from, you are sure to
ind someone who formerly lived there
No sectional prejudices exist, and men
and women from North and South, East
and work together for the upbulding of
his, the last of the prairie states, and,
IS they all think, the best.
