THE lady fingers made fresh daily
at the Delieatessen are very delicate
and the incest things Of the kind on
the market. Housekeepers find it
cheaper and more convenient to or
der than to make them.
FARMERS were anxiously waiting
for the rural delivery to begin. Many
Of them will profit from the establish
ment of the service and they will get
their mail right at the house instead
of having to wade through mud for
several miles to the postoffice
YESTERDAY was an ideal day and
hundreds of people took advantage Of
it to walk. The walks to Seneca, TO
the pump station, up the Blackbottle
and other directions were dotted with
mary parties enjoying the sunshine
and the clear air.
RURAL mail delivery is now an ac-
complished fact. The carrier start

SAY word of welcome to the
thrifty stranger who comes to US with
the intention of locating. Show him
the town, tell him OF the amount OF
business done, explain the possibili-

means business the whole community
will be glad to have him. Help him
to find suitable place to live and
thus convince him that we as peo-
pie are all right. That Is the way to
build up town.
THE Pittsburg Dispatch in tell
ing of the coal sale in Fayette and
Greene in an article on Sunday has
few lines about the recent sale re-
ported from SCOTS and Robinson's
Run. The correspondent who holds
staff position on the paper states
that it has been made and that it is
the largest one made along the riv-
err. 1t has been intimated by mum
Der that the sale has fallen through
but this cannot be verified. The in
formation that we had of it in the
first place came so straight and
with apparently so little reason to
doubt it that it looked like GER
tainty.

Guthrie. o. T., Aug. 4.-The Times
Journal of Oklahoma City, announces
that the surveying corps of the Denver,
Oklahoma and Gulf railway will reach
Oklahoma City on Saturday evening,
August 6. The surveyors are now in
Oklahoma county about eighteen miles
northwest of the city. near the Clark
school house. Mr.. ]. D. Love is chief en-
gineer in charge and is doing a very
thorough job of surveying. The survey
begins at Kiowa and passes through.
Kinghsher. From Kiowa to Klngfsher
the line bends to the west of an air line
and touches Oleene. From Kinghsher to
the north end of Council Grove the sur
vey is almost an air line. At the Grove
It will turn sharply TO the east and will
come down the divide, thus avoiding the
bad breaks Of the head waters of Deep
Fork. The survey goes about half mile
east of Eda, and it Is believed that a
good town win be built at that point.
Two-thirds of the right of way has al
ready been secured for this line. and the
building Of the road is a certainty. 4

RIGHT OF WAY AT BLACKWELL
Against she FrIseo's Claim There Is
Considerable PrOteafing.

Considerable protecting.
Guthrie. o. T., Aug At seems that the
Frisco at Blackwell after the welcoming
Ealvos OF enthusiasm and local pride, is
having some trouble OF right OF way
Through the city. 1--WE understand that
sat the next regular meeting Of the town
board" says the Blackwell Record, "the
frisco will ask for the right OF way down
Herkey or Brettun streets. The citizens
generally are opposed to the granting OF
any additional right-of-way to the FRS
70, and there seems to be good grounds
Tor the opposition. A right-of-way down
either OF the streets mentioned would ma
kerially damage property east OF the pro-
posed track. It would In a measure jeo-
pardize the life OF every school child who
had TO cross the track and would be a
continual menace TO every traveller from
the east into Blackwell. From our stand
point. they have no moral right 10 either
street and the town board should deny
kheir petition. A Comparison between the
Eanta Fe received no bonus, but on the
contrary paid something like $4,000 for
Ehe purpose OF getting into one side OF
the city. The Frisco is to receive $1,000
bonus and have already been granted
right-of-way down one OF the outlaying
Etreets and now they ask for right-of-
way practically through the heart of the
city and within a block or two OF the
public school building. Don't give them
n foot Of right-of-way. If they can take
It by law. let them get It that way. but
khe town board has no right TO earn the
condemnation that would follow such a
transaction Every citizen and taxpayer
has a right to protest against such action.
and the time 10 protest is before the
meeting OF the board next Monday night.
and the protest should be made 70 the
members OF the board, not to the news
