There never was and never Will be 4

GRANITE

junction Proceedings
AGAINST NORMAL BOARD
Town Determined That Wea-
thprford Shall Not Get School.

GuthrieS O. r, Dec. H.-There has been
suit to prohibit the board for normal
schools from building the Southwestern
Normal school at Weatherford. but up
till this week it was not believed that
Granite would bring the threatened suit
News comes from Granite today that
subscription list has been circulated in
that city and that more than enough
money to carry out the suit has been
subscribed.
Next week an injunction will be insti-
tuted to prevent the normal board from
carrying out its intentions. 1t is stated
by some authorities that this suit Of
Granits's will accomplish it's work ard
will end in the entire adjustment OF a
Southwestern Normal school. Granite
is expecting the legislature to xii, the
matter because the expressions against
the establishment of another normal
school in the territory are becoming
more and more common, and Governor
Ferguson has been accredited with be-
ing against another. 1T is argued that
OkIahoma's case will be just like the
case in Kansas, which state used TO
have two normals but when ii was
found that one was enough the one at
Emporia took the place of both. Another
argument used is that even with the
two normal schools now in the territory
there is so much room that the towns
where the normals are located do away
with high schools and use the normals
for higher education.
On the other hand the intentions of the
normal board are being carried out, and
ing for bids were made. The board held
meeting at Edmond last Saturday and
Notwithstanding Il poor attendance the
work of the board was carried on by
Messrs. Thacker of Mangum and Baxter
and Rambo of Guthrie.
AT this time the bonds voted by the
city of Weatherford were received, but
as they were not signed they were re-
turned for the signatures of the board
OF education there. The bonds, in every
other way were all right as far as the
board could discern.
On January 2 the board will hold n
meeting and attempt TO go on with the
work of erecting the normal at Weather
ford. The injunction will have been
brought by this time by Granite and the
whole matter tied UP if the promoters
of tho suit at Granite carry out their
intentions

After the New Mexico fellows had an

said the president did not say anything
but that IL was what he did not say that
worried them. From that time on the

New Mexico has gained ground.
Il had a number of talks on the stu

him again proved 20 he a pleasant as
well as a beneficial one. He is greatly

but is always looking for some one else
whom he may influence for the statehood

look indeed that the measure will be

Senator Quay says In his mind there
is no doubt of the bills passage. He
brings il up daily in the senate and an
nounces that the friends os the omnibus
