J them in the ways Of the white man
Dennis is also well posted on the public
lands question. In the last six years Z
has been his constant study. and If there
is a foot CT public land in Oklahoma
which he has not been over II must De
out in Greer county where H. D. Nc
Knight, register Of the land Office, re-
sides Il the Deacon remembers rightly,
Mr. Mcknight not jake received three
little votes in the convention OF farmers
thar nominated Dennis Flynn. Mr. Nc
knight did not have the ghost Of a show
for The nominatA then, nor would ne
have now.
Dennis told the Deacon over in Okla
bona City these identical words: ''Dea-
con- I will never again, while 1 i've, be
a delegate to congress from the terri
tory Of Oklahoma" And I believed him
when he said il, for ii IS the general
opinion that before congress adjourns Ok
laho1na will be a state; consequently
Dennis viii not have 10 go back 10 Wash
ingtOn as a delegate
Burullion c. CnderhiII, the obese and
handsome hustler for the Doid packing
house, and the Deacon, took a lite
jaunt last week down the Rock Island.
Bert went 10 sell his preserved meats
and I 20 sell, If I could, the peerless
separator. We stopped of at the thriv-
ing little town Of 8Iinco. I. T., and both
did 2 good business. Burtillion seemed
70 know everybody and every merchant
gave him the glad hand. In every store
Nd Of
pork, lard or sausage than Dold's. II
front Of every establishment the Dold
signs hang out prominently. After doing
the town Of Minc5 We hired a cheap man
TO drive Us TO Chickasha. That is great
towr-there Is no mistake about il
Everything IS hurry and hustle there, and
from what 1 could find out the town viii
soon be incorporated. The merchants
were doing rushing business, but took
time 10 talk about their town. One mer-
chant told Us that he had, on Al aver
age. twenty people a day come 70 him
asking when the country was going 70 be
opened for settlement. He also stated
that three years ago it looked awful blue
for Chickasha, but now everything was
lovely Burt did q rushing business in
Chickasha. He caught the town when it
needed hams. lard, sausage and bacon.
The merchants all say they have never
had 10 take back an ounce Of any OF
DoId's goods on account OF impuriJy or
for any other cause. Everything with the
Dold brand on it IS in great demand, and
from what I could learn the bod pro
ducts are the only ones the ranchmen
and cowmen viii use. This speaks
mighty well for the Wichita enterprise.
Every town We visited it was the same
story. Burt had no trouble TO sell his
goods, but I had a rollicky time selling
The Hon. Thomas Ryan, assistant sec
rotary OF the interior, with a party OF
ladies and gentlemen, took in the sights
al Mountain View, Il Reno and Darl-
ington this week Mr.. Ryan was agree
ably surprised with the looks Of the
busting little town Of Mountain View,
destined az no distant date TO be the
greatest town on the Washita. When
Mr.. Ryan and his party arrived in town
he was welcomed by the firing OF guns,
and dynamite bombs were fired at in
teTva-S. The whole town turned out 10
DO honor to the distinguished visitor, and
everybody took hand in putting out the
finest edibIes and drinkabIes in the land.
sIr. Ryan expressed his opinion that the
town Of Mountain View was all right
and that as far as he could see the gen |
-lamen who laid out tina town were cor |
rect as 10 the survey, and his opinion |
was that the location would re a per- |
manent one. This is good news for the
merchants and others who were instru-
mental in building the town. Nj Ry-
ans little talk has raised the hopes Of |
great many and work will commence in |
mediately on the improvements that were |
dropped when the contest case came up. |
