POSTMASTER
ROSE LANDS
unmn.uun=up=m
FOR SECOND TERM-NoMINATI
SENT TO THE SENATE BY
PRESIDENT ROOsE-
WELT
He HAS MADE A GOOD RECORD
Had Strong Endorsements from
Patrons of Office and Political
Leaders

A message from Washington re-
ceived here late yesterday afternoon
announced that President Roose-
velt had sent the nomination of
James A.. Rose to the Senate for
re-appointmentto to the Office Of post
master at Chickasha. His friends
had confidently expected his re-
appointment all along, but they
were naturally very jubilant when
the news came. Mr.. Rose had
strong endorsements from the pat
rons of the office sufficient to fill a
bushel basket, practically all of the
leading patrons Of the office. and it
was also known that he was back
ed by the republican organization
of the territory. AS it is the an
nounced policy of the administra-
ton to re-appoint postmasters
whose record is good, there was
little for Mr.. Rose to fear. There
was some opposition to him
but it wasn't strong enough to cut
any figure.
Be it understood now, that the
Express is unalterably opposed to
a republican filling the Office Of
postmaster or any other position,
but as long as it must be SO, it is
pleased to see good man like Mr..
Rose get the job.
Mr.. Rose was appointed four
years ago and his present term ex-
lpires April /. During his admin
istration the business of the Office
has grown wonderfully. Rural
routes have been established and
through the incessant efforts of the
postmaster free city delivery was
secured. When the department
announced that we must have
street crossings before we could
| get free delivery. Mr.. Rose advanc-
ed his own money and put them
in, waiting for the city to re-im-
burse him with warrants. Postal
receipts have grown till the Office
stands third in Indian Territory.
Mr.. Roseis native of Michigan
but lived many years in Bucklen,
Mo-, prior to coming to Chickasha
thirteen years ago. He served as
a volunteer in the civil war and
bears a wound received in the bat
tie of Gettysburg. Mr.. Rose is
prominent in the order of Odd Fell
lows, being past grand master of
Indian Territory and representa-
tive to the Sovereign Grand Lodge.
He is also past grand commander
of the G. A. R. of the territory.
His private and official record is
clean and his re-appointment will
meet with general approval.

AWNING
ORDINANCE
BRINGS our A BIG PROTEST FROM
OWNERS AND OCCUPANTS OF
THE BUILDINGS
THE TOWN cow PROPOSITION
Also Occupies Attention of Alder
men. City Council Meeting.

Awnings or no awnings was
the big proposition before the city
council at the regular meeting
yesterday afternoon.At the session
two weeks ago the council passed
an ordinance requiring the remov-
al of all wooden and metal awnings
and prohibiting the construction Of
such. At the meeting yesterday At
torney Welborne, in behalf Of own
ers and occupants of buildings pre-
sented a petition about as long as
from Chickasha to NiDnekah, pray
ing the council the rescind its for
mer action. The petition was sign
ed by nearly every owner and oc-
cupant of building in the busi-
ness section.
In presenting the petition, Mr.
Welborne stated that the enforce
ment of tine ordinance would in
volve considerable expense to the
property owners and as the latter
would not put up canvas awnings,
it would put it up to the occupants
of the buildings to bear this ex-
pense. which in view of the fact
that they paid high rents, they
could i'll afford to do. The petition
ers did not think that Chickasha
had reachedithat point in metropol-
itnaism VIII ere the removal of avn
ings was necessary. Mr.. Welborne
did not think the council had any
right to remove the awnings unless
it could be proved that they were
nuisance. The awnings had been
erected by the property owners and
the council could not take them
without paying for them. The arg
ument that the awnings were dan
gerous, he did not believe tenaDle.
Moreover, the petition showed
that the people did not want the
awnings removed and as the alder
men were the representatives of
the people, he did not think
the ordinance should be enforced
against their wishes,
After considerable discussion, the
petition was referred to the street
and alley committee and the enforce
ment of the ordinance was postpon-
ed 80 days, pending the report Of
the committee and final action of
the council.
The town COW was the next pro-
position tackled by the aldermen.
The iss ue grew out Of the orders
recently issued requiring property
owners 10 remove the barb wire
fences that have been built for the
protection of trees in front of their
premises. Residents of the south
west part of the city reported that
the town herd of cows were driven
through their part of the city and
if the fences were removed the
trees would be destroyed They
wanted to know what was to be
done about it, They wanted the
fences or some protection from the
town COW. Alderman Early express
ed himself very forcibly on this
subject as well as on the awning
matter. He wanted to know what
rights the council had. Every adj
vance movement that the council
had taken had been met with
long petition feminist" it. When

Situated on the banks of a winding
river in Iowa County, Iowa, upon
fine tract OF twenty-eight thousand
acres, lie the seven villages owned by
the Amana Society, or Community OF
True Inspiration.
The colony consists OF about eighteen
hundred members, mostly the descend
. ants of those who came from Germany
in 1S43 in order that they might be free
to worship God in accordance with
their Interpretation of the Scriptures.
All property is held in common, and
the colony is wealthy, the larger part
of the income being derived from the
manufacture of blankets, yarn and
wooden goods calico and flour. They
also export large quantities Of sauer
kraut, sailed beans, onions, rye flour
and cheese. These products are known
all over the United States and always
command top prices. This summer
they were receiving $1.75 a bushel for
onions at the track, so they were not
eating any of the precious vegetables,
but were shipping them by the car load.
The women dress as did their ans
cestors, in plain calico dresses and
and small black caps. When outdoors
in summer they wear large sun bonnets,
and in winter hoods and long capes.
The people eat together in companies
of from sixteen to forty, at so-called
kitchens" the places being assigned
by the trustees To each kitchen is
given a garden, and these are cared
for by the women, who also do their
share in preparing the meals. The
bread is baked at one bakery for each
village and delivered in a. bread cart
to each kitchen, so much per capita
being sent. The milk and meat are
delivered in the same way. The long,
low stove in each kitchen where the
general cooking is done. is interesting,
with the array of ladies'. strainers and
dippers above it. Each kitchen is pro-
vided also with an iron cook stove for
baking pies and cakes.
Food is served in abundance, and the
people eat five times a day, the meals
in the middle of the forenoon and aft
ernoon consisting merely of coffee and
bread.
The following are the menus for two
consecutive days, and really indicate
very good eating if one becomes ac-
