ENTERTAINMENT OF COMING
PRESS ASSOCIATION

Just three weeks remain anS then
the long planned for National Editorial
association will be in session in our
city We had to make strong represen-
tations ,f our ability to care for and
accommodate such a large and notable
convention. Those who extended the
invitation knew that the capital city
OF Oklahoma could and would rise to
the dignity of the occasion and over
come any difficulties that might need
to be confronted.
The arrangements are all about com
plete now and the committee is keep
ing the situation well in hand. They
understand perfectly that this city is
being highly honored and by this event
win become more widely known than
through any other happening in its
eventful history. All this is Of real
value to a growing city that only seeks
to have the outside world see and
know its present advantages and future
prospects.
There win come with this wholesale
advertising a real financial gain, but
far be it from US to make that the mo-
tive for any false display of hospitality.
However, even the most genuine and
heartfelt hospitality requires some ex-
pense and the help OF the public spirit
ed citizens viii be absolutely necessary
TO make the work Of the press com
mittee a success That this help will
be forthcoming at this very critical
and crucial time there can be no doubt,
but the committee win be greatly aid
ed and enthused II they can ese-ly have
assurances Of support. Anything short
Of a grand rally of all the power and
ability Of the city in the matter Of en-
tertaining the editors would be little
short Of treason to the best interests
Of home development and would turn
a grand opportunity into a blighhng
frost Uphold the hands Of the COM
mittee.

ROUVlER TO STAY.
He Is Expected to Retain Portfolio of
Foreign Affairs Permanently.

Paris. June Premier Rouvier, as
minister OF foreign affairs, took up the
active direction of the foreign office to-
day, comforting with the chiefs of de-
partments upon various pending foreign
questions.
Jules Cambon, the French ambassa-
dor to Spain, whose name has been
mentioned as the possible successor of
NJ. Delcasse, was among the callers at
the foreign office but NJ. Rouvier's per-
rnanent retention of the portfolio of
foreign affairs is now considered settled
as President Loubet and parliament
wish him to surrender the portfolio of
finance and give his undivided attention
to the foreign situation. Either former
Minister of Public Instruction Poincare
or former Minister of Public Works
Baadin will probably succeed NJ. Rou-
vfer as minister of finance. Important
diplomatic changes are also thought
likely to be made as result of the cab
met changes. One report is that the
Marquis de Revereseaux, ambassador at
Vienna, will succeed NJ Bihourd as
ambassador at Berlin and that Jules
Cambon may be transferred to st. Pet
ersburg. The officials do not confirm
these reports, saying it is too early to
forecast the changes resulting from the
new regime.

Most Valuable Piece Of Ground in the
World Changes Hands.

New York, June THE sale to the
Mercantile Trust company OF St Louis,
Just reported, of the famous plot OF
real estate at No. Wall street at the
corner of Broadway, has given rise to
interesting complications showing the
great rise in property values in this
city.
At the figure named in the transac-
ton, $500. 900, the plot brought ABOUT
81 a square inch, possibly the highest
price ever paid in the worlds history.
The property measures only 30 feet
on the Broadway side and has a 'front.'

It contains 1,170 square feet

and Wall streets. rms properly.
measuring III square feet, Droughl
S34S.67 a square foot.
Said the attorney who conducted the
trust company's negotiations:
Il have not the slightest doubt that
I have secured for our clients the
most valuable piece of real estate IN
the world. There is only one Broad
way. only one Wall street and only
one No. Wall street on earth. 1t IS
likely the present lease will be al
loved to run to a close. Then, of
course, the property will be improved
in a manner in keeping with It's value
and location
For many years a drug store oc-
cupied the store room on the corner,
which faces Old Trinity. Recently a
cigar company obtained this room and
now holds a lease for three years. The
building is an old fashioned four story
brick almost lost to view among tow
ering skyscrapers- 1t was erected
more than rs years ago at a cost OF
$500. Today the annual taxes on
the property slightly exceed that fig
ure. The ground was bought by one
of the Silliman family in 1927 at a
cost of S1S,275. It has remained in
the familys possession since then
The Oldest existing deed in connection
