served, and some Is misleading II not
positively unjust.
It is the do nothings, the people
who do not belong to the Commercial
Club who deserve censure.
True, there has been inaction on the
part of some in the Commercial Club
and above all there has been lether-
gic movement along financial lines,
and thas is to a considerable degree
the weak point OF the Commercial
Club.
But what are the facts in regard to
the work performed?
Every vital question that mas come
before the secretary has had the atten-
tion of the proper committees and
has been pushed by them as vigorous
ly as the financial conditions would
permit.
The work of locating at Chickasaa
the Oklahoma Girls Industrial hlsti-
tute and College was conducted
through committees and drafts upon
the treasury OF the Commercial Club,
the secretary being ever watchful and
active to the city's interests in the
contest. If the Commercial Club had
accomplished nothing more this year,
the location of this great institution
was worth to Chickasha many fold
what will have been paid into the
treasury of the Commercial Club this
year.
The work by the Commercial Club
o. inaugurating and putting under
headway through committee the great
cotton mill that is now drawing near
to completion, with its three hundred
acres of land secured upon which to
locate factories, was great boon to-
the city. If the Commercial Club had
done nothing more this year than
through its initiation caused to be built
this foundation for cotton manu-
featuring center, that will probably be
worth In itself an hundred fold more
than will have been paid into the treas
ury Of the Commercial Club this year.
The work performed by the secre-
tary and committee from the CONNER
cial Club on the location of the Chick
asha-Sulphur interurban railway, If sue
cessful, will in itself be worth to the
city ten fold that which will have been
paid into the treasury of the CONNER
cial Club this year.
The work performed by the commit
tee and other active members OF the
Commercial Club in securing to Chick
asha the street railroad, II success
full, win in itself be worth to the city
ten fold that which will have been
paid into the treasury of the CONNER
cial Club this year.
The work performed by the commit
tee and secretary and other active
members of the Commercial Club in
securing the location of the Ardmore-
Chickasha interurban railway, If sue
cessful, will have accomplished in that
one act alone, that which will be Of
ten fold more worth to the city than
all that will have been paid into the
treasury Of the Commercial Club this
year.
The building of grand hotel, which
will come tafough the initiative work
of the Commercial Club, will be worth
in itself many fold what will have
been paid into the Commercial Club
treasury this year.
The work performed by the COM
mittee and other active members of
the Commercial Club in securing to
Chickasha Major Gordon's northwest
road, will In that one act alone be
Of more worth to the city ten fold
over. than all that will have been paid
into the treasury Of the Commercial
Club this year.
The location here last week OF the
Pride Granite Polishing Plant, through
the secretary of the Commercial Club,
will probably prove Of more worth to
the city before twelve months will
have passed than all that will have
been paid into the Commercial Club
treasury this year.
There are other propositions now
before committees Of the Commercial
Club, any one OF which. if carried
out, will prove of ten fold more worth
to the city than all that viii have been
paid into the Commercial Club treas
ury this year.
Mr.. N. G. Steel is putting out upon
his lands an expenditure of $4,000 in
a grand natatorium and pleasure park
through the encouragement in the rap
id growth OF the city by the initia-
tive work Of the Commercial Club.
\ This in itself will be worth many fold
