OLD SETTLERS CONVENTION.
An Interesting Time on the Banks
of the Washita.


Pauls Valley, 1. T., Sept. s.-Last
evening there closed at Hull's Cross
ing on the Washita river about six
miles from$here the last and great
est of the Old Settlers Reunions OF
the Chickasaw nation ever held on
the banks OF this classical stream.
This movement was organized
about four years ago, and was in
spired by the suggestions and con-
certed action of r. ]. Love, G. w.
McClain, Dave Mays, Coffee Ran
dolph, Bud Randolph, Capt. Thomas
Shannon and others, with the chief
purpose in view of keeping alive by
annual recital and,converse of the old
loves and sorrows, triumphs and de-
feats of the old settlers of the Chick
asaw nation.
The first reunion was success and
each succeeding meeting was more
successful than its predecessor until
this year, when all records were
eclipsed and FIVE thousand people
camped beneath the lovely shades
of the Washita groves on the 4th, 18th
and 9Th of Sept, eating juicy beef
from the everlasting ranges of the
Washita valley, drinking of its placid
waters cooled with Ardmoreice, and
telling tales, singing and laughing
the pleasant days away.
The Pauls Valley cornet band was
engaged for the occasion and this
splendid aggregation of musicians
made melodious accompaniment to
the soothing song of the limped
Washita.
Old settlers came from all dis
tances between a hundred varas and
a hundred miles. They pitched their
tents on the banks of the stream
they have loved so long, and recited
the scenes of the early days when
the Iron Horse was unknown in the
land and the Maverick was the sole
bone of contention.
Claude Weaver of Pauls Valley,
Momon Prueitt of the same fish
pond, E. D. MacReady of Paoli, Jim
Humphries of the United States and
old man Mccoy of China, who has
been delegated by Ii Hung Chang to
count the Mavericks of the Indian
Territory, distressed themselves and
the people within audible distance
with efforts called speeches.
After delightful time covering
three days the reunion closed with
memorial exercises, including eulo-
gies on the deceased members in
which many old ladies and gentle
men and few preachers took part.
At the business meeting on the
third day =. J. Garvin of Pauls VAL
ley and Claude Weaver of the same
place were elected president and
secretary of the organization.
A vote being called for as to where
the next reunion should be held it
was decided unanimously that Pauls
Valley should gather the next old
settlers picnic plums by holding the
reunion at Hull's Crossing on the
Washita, just six miles from Pauls
Valley.

land in New York harbor and making
it one of the best equipped military
establishments in the world, as well
as a center of the transport service in
this country. are now under way. The
work is under the direction OF a board
comprising Major General John Z.
Brooke. commanding the department Of
the east: Colonel Gillespie of the en-
cheering department, and Colonel
Amos S KimbaH, assistant quarter
master general. These officers were
selected by Secretary Of War Root
some time ago TO survey the field and
present their recommendations to the
war department The first meeting
was held in General BrOOke's office q
day or two ago. and another will be
held the early part of next week.
One of the first problems taken up
was that of removing the transport
service depot from South Brooklyn 10
the island and making it the central
depot of the country, with vastly in
creased room and facilities and more
convenient of access. One great diff
Guilty confronts the board in the pro-
posed change-that of securing a, SUI
hcient dOckage depth around the island
to admit the draught Of the big army
transports. Some of these transports
draw twenty-siX feet of water, and
thus considerable dredging will be
necessary.
Herr lies the problem, for II is be-
Heved that the island is bedrock, and
to remove il would be a taSy of enor-
nous proportions. AS a preliminary
to any further progress in this direc-
ton the board sent out a sounding
party. and until the result is learned.
nothing more will be done in this d.
rection.
Among other improvements in view
is the erection of an immense supply
depot, a central agency for the army
posts and camps in all parts Of the
world. The scheme is merely tentative
now and has not reached the stage
where plans can be drawn to emb'dy
the boards ideas. Should the board
decide to erect other buildings there
will be no lack of room
The board is also considering either
racks OF the erection of new quarters
The quarters will easily accommodate
a battalion of soldiers, and it Is thought
advisable 70 increase these faCIlIIleS.
But with sufficient room for a battaiion
of men. the officers quarters are no"
Inadequate There are good reasons
for believing that the board report
will include a recommendation L'l

essary buildings
