CURE. the Republican congressional can
didate. met many people at this place on
his campaign tour through Beaver coun-
". Mr.. MCGUIRE drove here from Bea-
yer and spent several hours in this Vi
cinity. The people gave Mr.. Mcclure
a cordial welcome and he made splen-
did impression upon the residents of this
part of the territory. Mr.. Mcguire met
each individual here and discussed local
features, as well as territorial affairs.
He talked of the statehood question and
presented his arguments in such a man
ner that there was no doubt left about
the correctness of the position of the Re-
publican party relative 20 this question.
People formerly Of Missouri, Kansas, Ne
brasiIa, Iowa and other parts of Okla
homa, who have settled here. came cut
to meet Mr.. Mcguire. Some of these
persons have been in the county Of Bea-
yer for many years. while others have
only been here for few months. Many
of the men Travelled long distances, but
they were not disappointed in the Re
publican congressional candidate.
Mr. Mcclure. after spending a few
hours here, went on toward Day county,
where his next speeches take place.
Ivanhoe is in tine southeastern part of
the county. 1t is an old postoffice and
has been established for many years.
At one time Ivanhoe had a population
of three hundred persons, but last year
the postoffice was moved to another
month, some two miles north of the old
side. There is a splendid cattle coun-
try around Ivanhoe and there are many
prosperous people in this locality. Dur
ing the past two years many people have
come in here and, to all appearances,
are making success of cattle raising
and farming. The farming is confined
largely to the bottoms. Some of the
finest cattle in Beaver county are raised
here and all cattlemen are grading their
herds and are shipping in registered stock
year after year for breeding purposes.
The country is high, but a rain now
and then helps grass and growing feed.
w z. Mitchell. formerly of Stroud, is
running a general merchandise store at
Ivanhoe. Mr.. Mitchell settled in Bea-
yer county only a year ago and has a
stock of goods that would be a credit
TO many a larger town. He says that
he is making a success of his business
and is well satisfied with Beaver county
Mr.. Mitchell came to Oklahoma from nli-
nois and has been in various parts Of
the territory since then. In talking Of
Beaver county. he said:
Il believe this county is one of the
coming counties of Oklahoma 1 am sat
isfied with conditions here and while this
country is different from other parts
Of the territory. yet many people are
making money here. II may be a hard
struggle for the settler for time. yet
it is my opinion that the majority Of
them viii be successful"
