WANT MORE RURAL ROUTES
Citizens of Greenbrier Vicinity Petition
 for Additional Service.

Citizens of the vicinity of Green brier have filed petitions with the postoffice department for the es- tablishment of two additional ru- ral free delivery routes out ot the Greenbrier postoffice. In speak ing of the matter the other day, Postmaster w. M. Lyon said that the one route now going out of his office is giving perfect satisfaction to the patrons, the number of whom is increasing steadily, and this fact has given rise to the demand for additional routes.
 The two new routes have been surveyed by the rural inspector, and the people are confidently ex- pecting their establishment. One of them runs in northernly d. rection nearly touching the Van Buren county line, while the other ruins south from Greenbrier, through East Fork township and the Needs Creek settlement. MT. Lyon says the additional service would accomodate about goo peo- pie.

About the New Capitol.

have hitherto been silent, but now I must speak. When at home, I often drive up Seventh street, and I never pass our new state house building without deep ly regretting the dirty-looking marble used in the construction of its walls and vague uneasy feel ing that perhaps all is not well. It is great relief to have this mat
 ter at once and forever settled and my mind put at rest, as has been so handsomely done by the recent farmers convention. 1 see from your valued paper that, after the farmers had observed the floor tests and partaken of lemonade (whether spiked or no, know not) and cigars, endorsed the con-
 struction of the building, and unan
 imously resolved that the plans and specifications of the same were being in all respects complied with. To have this assurance from body of men so fully com petent to pass upon all the tech nical details of the plan of great building is great relief indeed. I know this because I am some what of farmer myself. It seems to me that hereafter a carping and fault finding public ought to be satisfied, and that O'Donaghey should give us rest. w. l..

GREER COUNTY, OKLAHOMA
Former Citizen of Faulkner County Writes Interestingly of His
 New Home.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat.
 As have lived in Greer coun- ty for about six years and don t see very much said about her will try and give a description of the county.
 Greer county is fast developing into farming country. Crops are as fine as you people ever saw any where. Corn, oats, maize, kaffir corn, sorghum and millet are fine. As for cotton, never saw a better prospect at this time of the year. Wheat crops are fne-will average IS to 25 bushels per acre. With you people living in the east, where you have to feed your stock three times day, 1 sincerely sym pathize, and cordially invite you'to visit a country where it is not necessary to iced all the year round, there being an abundance of fine mesquite grass and fine fields of alfalfa. Last year I saw 30 acres of sod cotton which when gathered and sold brought S4e3. 65. Can any of you farmers living in the east beat that? An other advantage is the fact that the land here is so much more easily cultivated than in the east, where you have so much grass.
 We have good schools all over the county and churches of every denomination. Now, Faulkner county friends, don't think this county has no disadvantages or that I have failed to note any thing but the good. We only have one railroad here, and we have some bad water and some as good as 1 ever drank. In fact, Greer county is as we'll watered a country as there is in the west Some of the people have drilled wells as deep as 60 to 70 fee. before they get good water and then get an abundance of water.
 Land at present is selling as fol- lows: Raw land, SIo per acre; i'm proved land S2o to S25 per acre.
 There is a big irrigation scheme on foot in this and Kiowa county. The dam will be put in near the mouth of Elm creek on the north fork of Red river, which would ir- rigate thousands of acres ot land. When completed this will advance the price of land very rapidly.
 Now, if you friends in the east want a home in prosperous healthy country, just hitch to your wagon or board the train and pay our county a visit. Yes, come and enjoy a cool breeze and fill your lungs with pure air-it will be so invigorating. You can enjoy a life free from chills, fever, aches and pains, and carry home with you a few coyote and prairie dog stories to tell the little ones. This is as peacable, quiet and law-abid- ing a community as ever saw and I think I have right to know, as I have lived here for about six years.
 Good luck to the Log Cabin Democrat, for 1t is all right for me.
