irrepressible solicitor for that paper

the two territories. V quite as
follows from Mac story.
chickasha, the second largesi
city in the famous Clnciasaw ma
ton, contains about 1000 inhabi-
tants, and IS located 10 the fertile
valley Of the Washita river. It's
rapid. substantial and continuous
growth since its birth, some twelve
years ago, has caused it to be
frequently referred to as the" Queen
Of the Washita Valley, and in
view Of its population, the magni-
tuds Of its business enterprises, and
its transportation and other facili-
ties, the title seems not inappro-
pirate.
Chickasha' buildings. both pub
lie and private, are very creditable.
Modern brick blocks line the bust
ness streets on either side, and III
the residence portion of the city
may be found structres which
would reflect credit upon commun-
tiles Of greater age and population.
Among the buildings in course Of
construction are the Christian
church and Carnegie library: The
first mentioned structure is to cost
$40, 600 and will be elegant in
every particular, surprising in
cost and beauty any other church
edihce in the two territories, with
the possible exception Of one in
Oklahoma City. The Carnegie
library is a thing Of beauty, com
pactly built and graceful lin out
line. It's presence has enhanced
the value of surrounding property
The desirability Of a community
as a place for residence is proper
tional to its moral and physical
healthfulness. Socially chickasha
keeps fully abreast Of the times.
All the leading secret societies are
represented here by lodges and all
are III good condition financially.
The Federation Of Women's Clubs
spe AXIS volums for the social condi-
tions of Chickasha and is doing
much 10 clarity the moral atmos-
pl ere of the community, as well
as to broaden the intellectual hori-
zon Of its members.
The stocks displayed i'll the re-
tail establishments will compare
favorably in size and quality with
those of any other city Of equal
size in the southwest.
chickasha is the manufacturing
and jobbing center of broad space
Of country.
chickasha contains four banks

modern brick structures. Their
Capitalization is as follows First

snviable reputation in financial

The prosperity Of city depends
argely upon its transportation

Economic Conditions Are FriahtfuI in

the Extreme.
The bad economic conditions of the
Russian peasantry may be shown by
the statistics of farm animals. The
Russian novelist, Uspenski orce
wrote a story Of peasant life, which
he called "A Quarter of Horse" and
which was intended to set forth. in
the guise of fiction, the soclai and
economic status of an agricultural
population that had only one horse to
every four families. Statistics com.
piled by the zemstvos of the central
provinces show that, even before the
agricultural crisis became as acute as
1t is now 20 to 80 per cent of the peas.
ant farmers in the formerly rich prov.
inces of Chernigof, Voronezh. Poltava,
Saratof, Kursk and Tambof did not
have even single horse, while nearly
one-third of the entire population of
Voronezh had neither horse nor COW.
In the province of Riazan $4,000 peas.
ant propreitors out of 10000 had no
horse and 1900 had neither horse nor
COW.
