Conditions and General Forecast.

Washington, Dec. 9.--The rapid east
ward drift of the atmosphere that has
persisted since the first of the month
has apparently been checked. In the
last "A hours there has been a general
rise in pressure in Northern districts
and a tendency on the part of the lows
to disappear before reaching the At
lantic coast. Light rains have fallen
in the middle Atlantic states. Snow
has fallen in New England and along
the lower lakes.
Monday will be unsettled and rainy
in the middle Atlantic states and this
condition will not change materially
during Tuesday. Temperatures in
Eastern districts will continue above
the seasonal average. The winds along
the New England and middle Atlantic
coasts will be fresh and variable be-
coming casterly: south Atlantic coast
light to fresh southeast.

Wall St, New York, March 19.-STOCKs
Opening dealings ia the stock market
today showed no decided trend in prices
in either direction. Small gains and losses
were about equally divided and many
stocks opened unchanged from Saturday s
closing. Dealings were on a very limited
scale and the market came almost to a
stndstill within few minutes after the
opening
A general sprinkHng of liquidation found
no sustaining demands and there was a
comprehensive yielding of prices. Stand
ard railroad stocks we're less active than
the speeiaaties but showed the same Fela=
tive weakness
The selling pressure subsidized, but only
feeble rallies followed except in Missouri
Pacific which recovered / point. and Con-
solidated Gas IL points
Bonds were duh and heavy.
Speculation displayed little novelty with
the progress OF the day. Pacific reeeded
again sharply and the decline ceased at
intervals only where the supply of stocks
ran out, General losses of about a point
were established pretty well throughout
the list
Prices continued to decline on light
volume of offerings. Losses were moder-
afely extended throughout beyond previ-
Gus figures.

cHIcKAsHA. IND. TER, FEBRUARY a. 1906
NOW WHAT ABOUT PAvING1

Chickasha has been so busy with railroad subscrip-
tions, with water works and sewer extensions and a
dozen other propositions that absorbed the public
mind, that the paving question has been relegated to
the back ground and we have also ceased for season
to talk about sidewalks But while these propcsi-
tions have been allowed to lie the table for the
time it should not be overlooked that they still
before Us and must be met sooner OF later and the
the better If we expect to secure the best Of
the hundreds Of good people who will come to
Chckasha during the present year we must endeavor
to make conditions more inviting TO them and few
things will prove stronger attraction than sidewalks
and paved streets, especially in this country where
these Improvements are 50 lamentably lacking
An occasion for calling UP the paving question is
furnished BY the building Of the street railway The
ton Of the streets occupied by its tracks The paw
ing will extend distance Of eighteen inches either
side Of the track and or Chickasha avenue where
double track will be laid the amount Of the street
thus paved will amount to a considerable sum to be
deducted from the bill that must be footed by the
property is easy to the advisablity of
paving the entire street while the railway company
doing its paving.
In view Of the antquated laws in force relative
to making municipal improvements, perhaps the only
method by which paving oould be done at the pre-
sent time would be BY voluntary movement among
the property owners. But the Curtis bill which is
nowpending in Congress and which will in all proba
bty become law within short time, extends the
Oklahoma laws applicable to such improvements to
the cities Of Indian Territory and there is
why Chickasha should not proceed to pave as Okla
homa City, Shawnee and Guthrie have done. AT all
events the voluntary method is always open.
The opportunity oforded to the property owners by
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1906-02-24

the proposal of the street railway company should
not be allowed to pass. 1t should be seriously con-
sidered by all who are interested in making chckasha
an up-to-date city. What do you say3
