raised their price SO that the best mules

Only two survived and these had been

HORACE, THE HUSTLER.

II is fact that IN all Okla.
homa there is net more genu-
inc hustler and money-maker
than Horace H. Hagan. of Guth
rie. In partnership with G. c..
Graham of Guthrie, he lately
concluded a deal whereby they
become the owners Of t,OO0 head
OF four year old steers, which
they purchased from j. W,
Smith of Hennessey, Ger a con
sideration of SIS, 600. These
cattle will be brought to this
county and fed here for the mar
ket. This will make Il splendid
market for the farmers of Logan
county to sell their corn, and
Messrs Hagan and Graham are
to be congratulated for their
foresight and enterprise.
This is Only ore Of the big
deals that Mr.. Hagan has made
lately. He placed the big deal
for tie Scottish Rite Masons of
the territory, who will build a
$50, 600 temple at Guthrie. He
also bought the Guthrie city
bonds recently issued to the
amount of sos for Il St.
Louis firm. They were placed
at S1.O4. which speaks volumes
fOr Oklahoma bonds. These
bits Of news are all the more
remarkable when it IS remem.
bered that one year ago % per
cent bonds were not bringing
% cents. Now Hagan disposcs
of ) per cent bonds at 4 premi,
um OF four per cent. Besides
being Il good farmer and stock
handler, railroad and tcWu
builder, Mr.. Hagan is a great
tinancier, and is Il an all.round
good fellow - weeks IN the
year.-The Leader.

THAT SALT RIVER BRIDGE.

We ask the Courier Post and
other papers of the surrounding
country to urge the building of
L bridge across Salt River at or
near the Asher ford. It seems
that the only way to get any.
thing of the kind is to advertise
and people pay for it.-Courier
Post.
The above quotation is from
the Hatch correspondent to the
Post. Time ard again during
the past two years,has the DEM
oCRAT shown not only the de-
sireability, but the necessity
from a social, religious and bus
mess standpoint why Il bridge
should be BUILT al that point or
at 5o&Ena. Saline, as good, if
not the b.st township in the
County is cut off from the county
seat by the river and neighbors
who reside within 800 yards of
each other are separated three
mouths in the year. One year
ago the DEMOCRAT showed that
Rails county was bridgeless and
had the money to build the
bridge asked for. About three
parties can tell why it was
neverbniIt.

FOR GOOD ROADS.

During the month of March /,
1898 the DEMOCRAT sent out a
large number of postal cards to

some of their pledges.

legal means for the be tier i'm
provement of public roads.
t. ]. ROdes;-Have always
been and expect to be in favor
Of good roads.
John Z. Smock:-I nave al
ways been an advocate Of good
roads and my nomination or
election to the office to which [
aspire, will not in the least
change nay sentiments on this
question, except perhaps to in
spire me to greater action.
0. T. Guthrie:-Am heartily
in favor of good roads and sug
gest township organization and
let the roads to contractors.
Thos. f. Hurd;-I assure yoa
that should | be elected to the

ought to have kept mum. The p

did the city. Monroe City and
the Democrat has none but the
most kindly feelings for the Pal

the fact the Snap Shots of the
