SP0NGERS IN PORT
RETURN TO HARBoR TO ESCAPE
 THE HURRICANE.
Season in the Gulf Has Not Been Profitable Owing To Decrease in
 the Prfces Paid. Wages Are

Pensacola, Fla, Aug. 11--(Speciah) )-- With the approach of the hurricane eeason on the gulf the sponge fishermen are returning to port and before the end of another week all of the fleet from this port will be in the harbcr. and for the next three months the men will be idle. About eighteen vessels and one hundred and fifty men from this port have been sponge fishing during the summer in the vicinity of Tarpon Springs. and their catches have been exceptionally large. but owing to a ccmbination of the wholesale buyers and over production but few have made more than expenses. When the season opened sponges were selling at from ffo to s2o per bunch. but they have been gradually forced down until now they are selling at $40 per bunch The Fishermen expect that the prices VII advance considerably during the next three months as no spoHges VIII pc placed on the market.
 Most of the sponge fishermen rom Pensacola are Greeks and came nere when the sponges In the Meoite.a mean became scarce and restrictions were placed upon taking them. Many heats were fitted out for fishing m the rn1f. where there seems to be an un- limited quantity of sponges. ana tne rnen started out for the seasons worh' To fit out vessel for this work re- aufres an expenditure of about ss,ooo' ss. in addition to the boat itseli, puhp. inr machines and diving suits must oe n,,rehased and these are very costly. AS a conseauence, those who htteu ous here. with few xceptons. have not pau = nenses. but expect to make some thing the coming season.

OF CHICKASHA BIG NEW G0NVEN-
TON HALL-GREAT CROWD
THRONCED THE BUILDING
WAS NOTABLE SOCIAL EVENT
Amid Music OratOry and Gay Festivi-
ties the Great Hall Opened
to Public

Friday evening September the
28th 1906 will remain for a long
time one of the memorable dates in
the history OF Chickasha for on
that date the big Convention Hall
was formally opened by specially
arranged program of speaking,
music, dancing and roller skating.
Last night long before the time
announced for the doors to be
opened crowd was waiting for
admission. At 1880 the chickasha
Concert Band, stationed in the
balcony began the music for the
skaters and it was but short time
until the floor was we'll filled. The
attendants at the skate window
being kept busy for an hour hand
ing out skates and in a snort time
the $50 pairs of skates had been
given out. The great floor is one
of the finest and most perfect in
the country, not rough spot any
where, as smooth as The top Of
a center table and that the skaters
appreciated and enjoyed it was
evidenced by the hundreds of
complimentary remarks heard on
the floor. The time for removing
skates came all too quickly for
those who enjoy the sport, but
the bell announced that the speak
ers of the evening and others who
were to take part in the program
were waiting.
1t was nearly nine o'clock and
the entire platform around the hall
and every available seat was filed
with the citizens of ChickaSha,
their wives, families. Mayor J. H.

REV. fAIT LEAVES CHICEASHA
To Resume Work in the Mission School
Departure is Regretted by All

Rev. S. V. Fait, who for two
years has been pastor OF the Pres
byterian church breaches his last
sermon tomorrow and will 60 to
Anadarko to enter upon his work
at the mission school. The leaving
of Bro. Fait and his family is un.
iversally regretted by the people of
Chickasha, both in and out of his
own church. A more earnest, con
secrated christian worker has never
worked in Chickasha. AS a
preacher, pastor and citizen, Bro
Fait has discharged every duty
faithfully.
About twenty years ago Bro.
Fait, came 10 this country and es-
tablished the Presby .erian Mission
Schools near Anadarko aud he has
done a great work in building up
that institution, accumulating a
large property for his church. Since
Chickasha has been a town, be has
done lis trading here aud his stand
ing with the business men has al
ways been the highest. When
Anadai ko was but a trading point,
ne preached there from time to
time. Two years ago he was called
to the pastorate of the church here
and during that time the member
ship of the church has been greatly
inc eased, the church property much
improved and every interest of the
chucch ad anced. AT the time he
came here he was offered a third
larger salary to take charge of an-
other chnrch but because of the
interest he felt in chickasha and
because he had been identified with
The town so long he accepted the
call here.
Bro. Fait. never lost interest in
the mission school during his work
as pastor and now he goes to take
charge OF it again. It is UNDER
stood that the school has not been
doing so we'll since he left it.
Chickasha perple earnestly hope
that it will not be many years be-
fore he will again be a citizen
among them.

Venable was introduced TO the
audience and from midway of the
spectators platform spoke briefly.
In enthusiastic terms he spoke of
the undertaking of the band boys
in erecting such a building for
Chickasha. He said that he would
welcome the day when the city
should be able to devote $I.o 600 a
year to promote the interests of the
band. On behalf of the city he
thanked the band for furnishing
the city with such an admirable
place in which to hold conventions
and other large gatherings.
Hon. Reford Bond was intro
duced to the audience and in
eloquent words told of the achieve
ments that music had accomplished,
the victories it had won and the
greater things that it had inspired.
Mr.. Bond told something of the
history of the band in the early
days of Chickasha and compliment
ed them highly on the progress
they had made during the years
and believed that the citizens of
Chickasha should encourage them
70 still greater things. Both speak
ers were warmly applauded,
The musical part of the program
was especially enjoyable and the
first number was a selection by
Miss Villa Rhone, who sang
Queen of the Earth" it wa
splendidly given and she was forced
TO come back for another piece
Mr.. E. R. Humphrey in "Sceues
that are Brightest" on the flute
was endid. Fiddle and l." a
vocal solo by Miss Mildred Sbaugh-
messy was one of the best numbers.
Miss Mildred with her sweet
contraltc voice completely won the
audience. Miss Vera LaQuay
furnished the violin obligato and
also an especial piece the Polish
National Dance, which was
splendidly executed. Mrs. H. w
Smith, who has recently moved to
Chickasha made her first appear
ance before a local audience as a
singer and made an instantaneous
hit, her full soprano voice filing
the entire hall; her selection was
unto thy Heart"
This concluded this part of the
exercises and programs were given
out for dancing and for over two
hours not less than one hundred
couples thronged tteimmense floor
to the music of the entire band. 1t
was pretty sight and society en-
joyed itself as it never had before
Ia Chickasha.
The band boys were the recipi.
ents during the evening of hundreds
of congratulations on the successful
of their big building,
aud words of praise for the abor
and time they had spent on it and
all of them were well deserved for in
spite of seemingly insurmounable
obstacles and doubling Thomases
as to the feasibility of the plan,
they conceived the idea and have
carried it through to a successful
and it stands today
to their enterprise and
pluck.
