cluh Holds Good Meeting.

The meeting of the Political Equal
ity Club at the home of DR.. and Mrs.
Watson Roberts, Wednesday evening,
was a very enjoyable one. and there
was large attendance. making the
initial meeting of the season an en-
couraging occasion. Three instrument
tai numbers by Miss Theresa Jones
were much appreciated and Mr.. Frank
Sutton's paper on the present and past
conditions of the Indian in Oklahoma
was highly instructive and much en-
loved. Included in his paper was an
original poem Of merit, on the Ideals
of the Indian" The home was taste-
fully decorated in golden rod. asters
and other flowers, and the hostess
served light refreshments.
Guests Of the club were Mrs. e. r.
Jones, Miss Theresa Jones, Mrs. Theo-
dore Marsh and Mr.. George Marsh,
Mr.. Frank Sutton, DR.. Elizabeth
Speers Gillette, Mrs. j. M. Adrian, and
Miss Nellie Stewart. All Of the Off

located at S12 West Linn street ana
410 North Third street, this city, which
figure at $4,000, and the Blackburn
farm of 1877 acres, adjoining st. An
thony on the west, which sells for $lo,-
S75, or $125 per acre. The balance,
$4,000, In favor of Mr. Brown, Is PAID
by Mr.. Blackburn and Mr.. Darner
Something of the land values is OF
interest in the transaction. The Black
burn farm was purchased by Mr..
Blackburn ten years ago, at $40 per
acre. and has yielded an advance OF
$10S95 In that length of time. Mr.
Darner's properties here yield him a
profit of $1.500. One of the houses,
other he purchased two years ago.
The Brown farm Is considered worth
more than sos per acre by the new
purchasers, but the fact that it is so
large that it Is pretty big proposition
to swing, has cut down the value OF
the land to some extent, figuring on a
basis Of market value. If it had been
divided into smaller farms a few
years ago. 1t is thought that at least
s75 per acre, and possibly 800, would
have been commanded.
Mr.. Blackburn's son, Herbert Black
burn, of ST. Anthony, will move to the
new farm, and Mr.. Darner will furnish
man to assist him. The two owners
together, will employ what help is
needed to run the place. They expect
to farm the land on big scale, and
stock it thoroughly.
