ROOSEVELT IN THE TERRITORY
Greeted by Thronss. Promises State
hood At An Early Date

Wednesday was Roosevelt day in
Indian Territory. AT all points
where the special train stopped vrst
throngs greeted the president who
spoke briefly at each place. AT
Muskogee the president spoke as
follows: Il cannot say how much
impressed l have been, travelling
through the territory this morning.
Your territory, probably in con-
junction with Oklahoma, will soon
be one of the greatest states Of this
Union. l look forward to meeting
your senators and congress men not
long hence. l earnestly hope that
as you enter statehood you will re-
alize the immense responsibility
that rests upon you. Statehood IS a
first class thing if you use It right.
1t will be a mighty poor thing if
you don't. Successful govern
ment, of course, must be based up
on the rverage quality of the citi-
zenship. If the average citizen does
his duty you will have a good
state, and you will not otherwise.
Nobody can make good state ex-
cept you yourselves. You reed just
the qualities in government that
you need in private life. A man
who is a good neighbo-, good hus-
band, good father, is the type of
man who makes a good citizen.
The person that you want to have
as neighbor is the man to whom
you can tie, Oh whom you can
count. the man who is game man
in time of trouble but who does
not seek trouble the man who does
not brag and brawl but makes good,
the man who is honest and sincere
in his dealings with Others. That is
Just the type you have got to have
in public life. You cannot affotd tc
let any man represent you in pub
| lie life if he IS crooked. 1 do not
care whether he IS crooked on you
side or not. Ifhe will do something
that is moi exactly straight for
vour advantage he will do it quick.
{ er for his own advantage.

VISIT TO THE
WATERWORKS
cHIcKASHA'S WATERWORKS PLANT
IS ONE OF THE FINEST IN THE
COUNTRY. IN GOOD SHAPE.
MACHINERY WORKS PERFECTLY
A Most Interesting Sight. Big Pumps
and Filter at Work.

1t was the pleasure of an Ex-
press reporter, in company with
Or. Dawson and Mr.. Burton, Of
the waterworks committee, 10 visit
the pumping station yesterday
afternoon. 1t is most interesting
place to visit. The ponderous
machinery, engines. pumps, set
ting basins, filter plant etc, all af-
ford sight we'll worth seeing.
Mr. Hobbs, the chief engineer.
is fine housekeeper. Every nook
ana corner of the power house
and every piece of machinery is as
neat and clean as the model house
keepers kitchen. Mr.. Hobbs
showed the visitors through the
plant and explained its workings.
The machinery is all in dupli-
cate-two boilers, two engines, two
main pumps-everythi1g arranged
so that if one piece of machinery is
disabled the operation Of the plant
goes on uninteruptedly. When
the visitors looked at the gauge
showing the water pressure, it stood
at 6s pounds. Mr. Hobbs turned
valve and in less than minute it
was'up to os, showing how quickly
the pressure can be raised in case
of FIRE or any extraordinary demand
for pressure.
Atthe present time about $780,
Eoeo gallons Of water per day are be-
ing pumped. 1t is carried from
the river through a large main to
the FIRST settling basin. It is an
interesting sight to see it pouring
lit. From the first basin It over
flows into the second where it is
much clearer than in the first
From here it passes directly into
the filter plant. This is contained
in small building. The water !:
is treated with a solution aluminium
Isulphate after which it percolate:
through bed OF sand andis carried
into a deep clearwater well. 1t i:
then ready to be pumped into the
mains for distribution over the city,
The filter removes all sorts o.
organic substances as well as a
loose or floating matter. Every
second day it is thoroughly cleaned
by turning in a great volume o.
filtered water below the layer q
sand.
To all appearances the pumping
station, the machinery and every
tding connected with it are in per
| feet working order and it is difficult
to conceive Of a more complete Oh
substantial plant. The past ad
ministration, the water COMMITTEES
and all connected with this greai
enterprise have reason to be prouc
Of their work. No town in th'
| Southwest has a finer system o
waterworks.
Mr.. Hobbs the present chic
engineer, has resigned his position
and expects TO leave the city in
few days, The water committe,
has been thoroughly pleased will

Fate gives to the man who

Life without trials, small or
great, is impossible. We must meet

our strength in borrowing troubles
or in going half way to meet them.
1t is for you 10 say whether the

does not depend entirely upon his
long coat and dicer for confidence

Christmas Does any Christmas
of my early boyhood stand out in
my memory?
Huh. Those were days when
Christmas was rather different
from this modern goth century, up
touthe-minute civilization. The
Christmas of my bOyhood runs
back to the pioneer days on the
banks of the Wabash. 1t was a case
of simple ways and simple wants.
The settler went in, and he had
to dig to make anything of the So
acre tract which he took up with
his government scrip. He got his
land free, or very cheap, but he
had TO get it out from under a
rank growth of poplar, ash, hick-
DRY, elm and scrub oak. 1t meant
long hours and hard muscles. There
wasn't very much of anything.
There wasn't very much of the
necessities, let alone the Injuries
of life.
The home was a lean-to with two
rooms. That was the day of the
big spinning wheel, when mother
of the household took the bunch
of wool in her hand and walked
back and forward in front of the
wheel drawing out the thread, and
when the cloth for our clothes
was woven of this thread right
there in the house.
Homespuns-they were about the
color of butternut generally; some
times if one were disposed to be
extravagant indigo dye stuff was
bought and they were colored blue.
But that was putting on style.
Christmas was generally the time
for the new clothes-woven cut
and made in the house.
There is one Christmas which
does stand out from the rest. 1t
was when | was Is years old. My
older brother had gone to New
York to study medicine. In that
