ing, although the visitors offered some
new Suggestions.
As the committee subscriptions and
the committe on the complication of
the pamphlet did not as yet have their
matter in shape, it was the consensus
Of opinion, that nothing should be done
at present, as the Inquiries which
would be received, could not be
handled as they should, without
further organization.
a number of the real estate men
will however. do some personal
advertising with the paper, and it is
understood, an amount of county
write-up will be given. They will
also use other advertising mediums,
and start the thing going. The book
let, it was thought, should be COM
pleted as soon as possible, and would
be used by the land men IN answering
the inquiries received.
That there will be large immigra-
tlon the coming year, there is no
doubt and it behooves all persons
interested in the growth of this city
and locality to wake up, and get
their share, and this does not include
only the land men, either.

Prairie Oil and Gas Company Calls
Meeting at Tulsa to Arrange
For Right-Of-way.

Tulsa, Okla, Sept 8.-The Prairie Oil

Standard, has arranged for meeting with
the commissioners Of Tulsa county on

COUNCIL MAKES REPLY
AS TO OVERLEY CONTRACT

After interviewing some Of the menu
bers Of the City Council with refer
enee TO the Baeby sewer in the west part
part Of town the Chieftain makes this
statement.
Some weeks ago the proposition 70 con-
struct said sewer was advertised for bids
AT the time designated for the opening
of bids there was only one submitted to
the council-that Of +. j. 0verley & Co,
of Joplin for 80 cents a foot. The
council instructed a committe to accept
this bid as il was the only one
submitted and the property owners were
anxious to have the sewer constructed.
The contract with 0verley < Co, was
drawn up ready to submit TO the council
for approval when some of the property
owners appeared and protested that the
price was excessive. AS a counter prop
osition they proposed TO make . bid Of
not to exceed 60 cents a foot If the Over
ley bid was rejected. The council accept
ed their proposition and again opened the
matter for bids When the bids were
opened at the last meeting Of the council
they-were all far in excessof the go cents
a foot guaranteed. The 0verley bid was
rejected contingent upon the go cents
bid which absolutely failed. therefore il
was the sense Of a majority Of the coun-
Gil that simple justice would be the re-
vival and acceptance Of the overley
bid
The insinuation that the council had
sinister motives in letting the contract to
an outside firm is absurd, there were
no home bidders in the first place after
the matter had been advertised for two
weeks in the Leader according to law,
1t has been suggested by some Of the
people interested that the.property owners
effected construct the sewer themselves.
This seems to be a fair solution Of the
problem. and a plan to VIII ich the counci
would doubtless be glad toiyield
