ANADARKO Gets
ACTION AT LAST
Commissioners Are Authorized
to Construct a Jail.
WILL MATERIALlZE SOON
Temporary Wooden Building
to Surround the Cells.

Anadarko, O. T, Oct. l0.-At last the
interior department seems to realize the
Importance Of immediate action in the
matter of public improvements and the
representative Of the departm met AND
consulted with the county commissioners
on Tuesday relative TO getting busy at
once, says the Tribune. The result Of
the conference was that arrangements
were made for the immediate construction
of a county jail and several steel bridges
that are now under contract. The COM
mssioners authorized the purchase OF
jail cells to cost S, S25 and they were
ordered and viii be upon the ground in
side of four weeks. When they arrive
they win at once be placed in position
and temporary wooden building will
be placed around them. This will al be
accomplished in time TO be available for
use at the coming term of court. The
companies holding contract to build the
several bridges will be compelled TO COM
plete the contract at once or action will
be commenced upon their bond.
At last something tangible appears and
we may expect expeditions action. The
attitude of Mr. Matthias Tuesday was
entirely different than heretofore. He
told the commissioners that he was in
structed to consult their wishes in ell
matters and to give the people here what
they wanted to the extent of the several
appropriations. Heretofore he assumed
that his authority did not anticipate the
desires of any one but the secretary of
the interior. That the local authorities
had no say in the matter and that their
suggestions were not expected or desired.
Now everything is apparently different,
the local authorities arc now consulted
and their wishes recognized. What in
fiuence has been instrumental in bring
ing about this very desirable change does
not at this time appear. but whatever 1t
may be, the people of this county are
truly grateful for it.
