that he has continued the use of gravel
the past year, having used l,SS9 loads
during the year. This is not as much
az he used the PREVIOUS year, but more
money has been expended for under

having been used. Several bad places
in the highways have been repaired by
uniting in Telford foundations and Mr..
Games recommends that several other
places be repaired this way, he calls
attention to the need of more perma-

Gagged one and IIaggerty another.
Davey brought the crowd 10 its feet
with a shot from the center of the
floor that dropped in without touch
ing the hoop. The visitors then shot
three. At this period of the game
Church persisted in being naughty at
the bat.off and was Penalized twice
for an illegal jump. The period closed
with the score II to 6. The next two
periods were slam bang basketball with
the Athletics pulling farther and farth'
or away at every jump. The visitors
kept hard at work but were Simply
outclassed. They knew that they were
beaten but kept up game fight. When
the carnage was over the score board
showed the score IS to %.
A crowd of 500 people was present
and made the welkin ring with its APP
plause. There were plenty of exciting
incidents in the game and not one
lacked for cheers. March refereed his
usual good game, At first the visitors
struck for an umpire as well as ref
cree. But when they had started the
game they were absolutely satisfied.

Dollar For Dollar

Baldwin and Gibbs, local
agents for the Continental Insur.
ance Company, of New York,
have adjusted the Weimer and
Sons loss on hardware stock,
paying full amount of policy. As
the loss was shown to be an
honest one, the Continental is
not disposed to deny liability or
even exact a penalty because
Weimer & Sons have been 80 un-
fortunate as to lose their books
and papers. The Continental's 3
assets are over seventeen million
dollars. Their loss at San Fran
cisco was nearly two million dol
lars, and yet they were the first
of all the companies to complete
of losses. 20 If.

The Anadarko Daily Dem
ocrat jumps upon the state
Democrat for saying the out
fit in charge Of the govern
ment townsites in the big
pasture had killed those
towns by delaying the open
ing of those townsites until
after the railroad townsitcs
are opened. Well, if the
Anadarko newspaper man
doubts the State Democrat
he should rake together all
his spare cash and the cash
of his friends and invest it
i'm lots in those government
townsites when they are OPP
ened, il they ever are. He
can buy lots there at his
own price for there will be no
bidding against him. The
government townsite propO-
sition in the big pasture is
nothing more or less than Il
graft for those handling it.
-Lawton State Democrat.
What we said was that
none o. the gentlemen in
charge OF the government
townsite work were guilty,
as charged in the State
Democrrt, of being in a deal
with the railroads, whereby
the sale OF the town lots was
to be delayed. We believe
in placing the blame where it
belongs-in the congress, for
enacting a law for the sale
without providing means OF
putting lots ON the market,
and slipping n Joker into
one OF this years appropri-
alton bills allowing the
railroads to locate their own
townsites. We think, too,
that newspaper men ought
not carelessly to be accused
of having money enough to.
buy lots in the government.
townsites, especially under
the category OF "spare cash.
THIS last is the most unkind-
est cut of all.

POPULAR DESIGNS IN FURs.
Mink the Most Fashionable Of All
This Season.

Mink is extremely fashionable this
season and B made up in very hand
some sets o. long double boa and
large tat nun As Il Is still the fash
ion 10 wear the fur closely about the
throat, with one end thrown back over
the left shoulder only long collars
are possible. The little collarettes
are still seen in ermihe and astrakan,
and somotimes chlnchilla, but are no
longer smart As the tail Is alto
gether the prettiest part of the mink
on the collars. the majority of the
newest muifs are trimmed with count
less little brown tails.
Fox is rather out of favor at pres.
ent, for save In the white, which never
receives great amount OF wear, IL
has been found 10 give little satsfac.
ton, and lynx has just taken its place.
White fur is so attractive for young
girls that It is. II anything. more
fashionable than last year. With black
velvet and with delicate shades OF
mauve or blue, or with a white cloth
costume, white fur is charming. White
lynx wears better than fox, but is
more expensive, and then white fur is
too conspicuous to be worn regular
iy.

Spring Chickens Go up.

J.Lloyd Squires, of near Manown,
suffered from the fire iend again
last Sunday. He had chicken
hatchery near his residence and went
into 1t about 8 O'Clock to inspect his
orooders and turned the lamps down
low in one of them as the weather
was warm. He went back into the
house aud in short time he heard
a roar THAI he did not understand,
and upon going on, to investigate
found spring chickens roasting aud
frying 10y the Wholesale. The hatch
cry was wrapped in flames and no
snow To save anything.
He tried to pry eff board OF two
In order TO let out some of the chicks
that were flying around in vain ef
forts To escape, but IL was too hot
and they all went up in smoke with
a loss of at least 800. Luckily the
wind was blowing away from his
residence or it might have burned
also. Mr.. Squires thinks he turned
the lamp down so low that the oil
caught from the flame.

Time 10 Clean Up.

Some time since we advocated
the ACCESSIBILITY of cleaning up your
premises. 1t matters not whether
you are IN town or in the country,
the debris which has been gradually
accommodating during the winter
months should have the attention 1t
demands and the premises should
be made TO shine. 1t is a question
in town OF public health, and the
sanitary regulations demand that
this be done. Personal pride in
home should cause you to want TO
make your property, your home to
look nice.
There are some places in town
that are disgrace not only to the
owners of the property, but TO the
community in which such are to be
found. If you will clean up your
property there will be no reason on
your part tor regretting it. You
owe 1T TO your neighbor, your own
family and to the public at large to
clean up your surroundings and
make them look nice and decent.
After you have once cleaned up
your back yards. hauled away the
unsightly accumulations-you will
feel better and your eyes will not
water every time You see the condi-
ton OF your premises. Clean up now.

The profound sympathy of all our
people goes out to the city of Read
ing, which has been so sorely be.
reaved as a result of the recent scci.
dent to Shriners' train on the
Southern Pacific railroad in Calfor-
MA. Seventeen dead, among them
an even dozen of the leading husi.
uess aud professional men OF the
town, is ,hc terrible record, ana il is
small wonder that the whole com
muulty IN which these unfortunate
victims lived is stunned by the awful
shock. AT Reading the Masonic
fraternity has always bs=n An i'm.
portsnt factor IA the social life, and
ia the various degrees of that order
there has teen spirited rivalry to
grow in numbers and excel in eff
cheney. Hence upon occasions of
special demonstration, Involving ex-
cursions, parades, or conventions,
the banners of the Reading lodges
and temples have ever been in evil
dence, the membership, in enihusi.
siasm, in energy aud in loyal fellow
ship. challenging all corners.
Reading, moreover. Is city of
homes. where the neighborly spirit
is cultivated aud encouraged, where
contentment and reasonable comfort
are more priced than mere money
grubbing and the display OF wealth.
Thus, though the population APP
proximates 100, 900, it may almost
be said that everybody knows every.
body else, rejoices in his success
and SORROWS with him when the shad-
ows fall. They are warm hearted
people of gentle manners and kindly
ways,upon whom this blow descends
with all the crushing force Of a per
sonal affection.
