plant is being put in condition 10
handle a larger quantity Of cotton
than ever before.
The platform is being extended
24o feet west, the width of the ex-
tension being 100 feet. The pre-
sent platform is 500 by $50 feet.
a number of laborers are employed
on this work and everything will
be in readiness by the time the

It's TO be hoped that our business
men will keep constantly in mind
the necessity for bringing as large
a portion as possible of the
cotton crop TO Chickasha. Other
towns are already preparing
for The cotton season, repairing
roads and bridges and talking up
theil advantages as cotton buying
centers TO the farmers. Chickasha
must not be behind. We can vast

DTOuta Sets In
No more Territorial Drinks Will
be Sold

Chickasha win be dry town,
very dry, after - O'Clock to
night The fat went forth from
U S. Marshall Colbert few weeks
ago that no more territorial
drink" should be sold and at last
the dry spell has reached Chicka-
sha. All the light beverages,
vigorine, nulria, and the like, are
uuder the ban and their sale will
cease tonight.
It's a dry and dreary desert land
that confronts the thirsty one in
Chickasha.
1t is claimed that the order of
Marshall Colbert was directed
particularly against dealers in the
part Of the district, who
were abusing their privileges.
There was no complaint against
the dealers here. Inasmuch as i'll
is claimed that the drinks sold are
not intoxicating, an interesting
law point may arise.
