CH|cKASHA must KEEP
The interurban, Street Railroad, Hotel
and Other Planned Enterprises
viii Msteriaiize.
(By Cad AIlard.)

Our citizens are to have few more
days grace on the Chickasha-Sulphur
interurban,-
And they, with the assistance of the
citizens along the proposed line this
side Of Pauls Valley,
VIII take up the preferred stock yet
needed to seal the proposition.
Our citizens cannot afford to let the
project develop into a body blow to
ChiclSasha through change of route
from Pauls Valley to Oklahoma City
instead of coming to Chickasha
Scott Jones and Major Angle are yet
loyal to Chickasha, and that, too, in
face of the fact that Messrs. Hornaday
a Co have become very impatient and
advise the Oklahoma City route.
1t is the intention of the local com
mittee having the matter in hand to
push the work to a speedy end. and
the probability is that be fore the last
of the week it will be an assured prop
osition.
The interurban and the street rail
road assured will guarantee to Chick
asha---
A grand hotel
And the combination in turn will
give life to several other big under
talxings.
More depends on the interurban
and the street railroad for the future
growth and commercial expand OF
chickasha than our citizens think.
No interurban or street railroad, no
five-story hotel.
No hotel, no eight-saory office build,

No life such as must come through

Long Distance Wireless

Washington, Dec. 15.-Preparatiols
were completed by the Navy Depart
.nent today for the most ambitious
tests of the wireless telegraph ever
attempted. The scout cruisers Salem
and Birmingham are equipped with
apparatus capable of sending mes
sages a distance of about 200 miles
and receiving from a high power land
station 1900 miles distant. The land
station will be located at Brent Rock,
Mass. The scout cruisers will follow
a course from the west coast of the
British Islands south toward the west
coast of Africa, thence westerly in
the direction of the West Indies.
They will be about 1000 miles apart.
An attempt will be made 10 establish
communication not only between the
two cruisers but also between the land
station and both vessels.
II these experiments are satisfactory
high power wireless tower will be
erected in or near Washington and the
vessels of the navy will be equipped
with Instruments more powerful than
those now i'm use. The specifications
for a high power wireless system re-
quire that communication must be
established in all seasons and climatic
conditions over a distance of at least
1000 miles between vessels at sea, and
all vessels equipped with higA power
wireless instruments must be able TO
receive messages over a distance of
5000 miles from the land station.
