Two years ago cnickasha was but
little known abroad.
Today Chickasha is known wherever
newspapers carry press reports
And to what should credit be given
for this changed condition2
The answer is patent to every citizen
Il ne viii but give due weight to the
systematic persistent work of the
Commercial Club in spreading abroad
TO all parts Of the nation literature ex-
plotting this the most favored and ad-
vantageous point in the new state for
a commercial and manufacturing city.
Credit is due the Commercial Club
not only for heralding to the world
Chlckasha's unparalleled advantages,
but also to a great extent for the city's
marvellous growth.
During the latter part of the year
1908, many substantial improvements
were made and the demands for rent
houses was relieved to a satisfactory
degree through the urgent work Of the
Commercial Club.
This year has so far been a season
of rapid events, and the next four
months promise to be more eventful
along business growth than any like
period in Chickasha's history
For six months OF this year there
was an average of one hundred resi-
dences erected per month";;
A new city hall and fire station were
erected
A 100000 high school building was
erected;
A great church structure was erected
by the Baptist denominations;
The first great electric water power
dam was completed and has more than
met all expectations
A $35, 1000 eating house was erected
BY the Rock Island Railroad Com

work in developing the resources of
their native country. The senior mem
Der of the group. and the most active
of them all, is Boris ]. Patchjieff, a
junior mining engineer. who comes of a
prominent family in Sophia, Bulgaria.
He came to the university three years
ago and has always been one of the
best students in that department. 1t
was largely through him that the 9TH
ers were induced to come to K. u. and
fl is to him that they look for advice
dn their difficulties.
PatchejicT came oV,. . America in
1902 and worked on a farm in New
York until he learned English. While
there he saw a bulletin of Park college
and finding that he would have an op-
sired, he came out to Kansas CITY
where he worked until the opening OF
the school 1t was while working there
that he met a fellow countryman. A.
V. Ovtscharoff. Patchejieff tired OF
things at Park college and decided to
come to Kansas and begin his work
in engineering. He enrolled in 1906 Al
the same time Ovtscharoff entered the
