day are only side streets today Pro
spective residents of Lawton poured
in from all parts of the compass yester-
day afternoon and last night began to
erect stands at the rear of tents along
these two thoroughfares which crowded
the new streets The first comers hung
on to their places and an alert individ-
ual made an appeal to the authorities
for permission to locate on the north
side of Mccoy avenue. His request was
granted. He lost no time and in five
minutes the stakes had been dug and
his tent was dragged across the street.
His neighbors saw the movement and
followed suit. 1t was the beginning of
the most remarkable sight yet seen at
the town which is to be. In less than
half an hour 400 tents had been moved
across Mccoy and Goo Goo avenues. In
an hour the line was mile and a half
long. One mile along Mccoy avenue
and a half mile on Goo Goo. the two
streets became congested, but a slow
procession soon started in double col
un1n up the side of the two streets and
down the other. 1t has been running
that way all morning.
The population about the proposed
town is now about 10000. Ice water IS
scarce. Ice must be hauled a distance
of thirty miles. There is but one well
here. Water sells at so cents a barrel
and ice is 312 cents pound
