Arbor Dny Proclamation.

Gov. T. B.Ferguson has issued
his Arbor Day proclamation. Ar
Dor day is Friday, March IL, and
the proclamation is as follows:
"The planting of trees by the
present generation is to erect
living and growing monuments
which record for those who shall
come after us our appreciation of
Natures magnifficence and beau
ty.
There is no more appropriate
legacy to leave to posterity and
there are no better companions
for our declining years than those
living children of the forest and
roadside, that sometimes owe
their very existencv to our en-
deavor. Tree culture should be
fostered in our fair land. Their
proper disposal will beautify our
homes, improve our highways
and public places.
"The earth would be desert
indeed were it not for the great
handiwork of Nature in dotting
its surface with beautiful, stately
forests. What man or woman
does not cherish fond remem-
brance of shady boughs, both
shelter and companions in child
hoods happy hours9
Where Natures supply is ex-
hausted let man follow her noble
precept, and plant trees which
shall gather strength and beau
ty as ages roll on, whose boughs
shall be caressed by the loyal
winds and kissed by the sunshine
of our glorious commonwealth for
numberless cycles in the future
In accordance with Legislative
enactment, l, Thompson B. Fer
guson, governor of Oklahoma

March 13, 1903, as Arbor Day.

The excitement of the prim-
aries and conventions is over,
and things are somewhat quieted
down, but the people are still
strong in their desire for good,
progressive men for the city
offices. Especially are they de-
sirous of a man of strong per-
sonality and possessed of the
spirit of progression for the office
of mayor. The strength of
city's morals and her prospects
of advancement in the business
world, are often judged by the
manner of man who is selected to
fill this important office. w, II.
Divers is progressive, conser-
vative business man, who will
look well to both the moral and
financial interests of the city,
who will be quick to grasp any
opportunity to better the con-
dition of Anadarko, and slow to
grant privileges to companies or
corporations for enterprises
which would, in the end, be a
detriment to our city. Both
parties are aware that the DEM
ocrats have selec ted one of the
strongest men for this office,
which it was possible to secure,
for it is an acknowledged fact
that Mr.. Divers has taken an ac-
tive interest in every thing which
could possibly be for the good of
Anadarko, since first he took up
his abode in the city. IN
Plenty of old papers at this
