SHORTHAND AND TYPEWRiTINo
SCHOOL FOR LAMAR.
Famous Zigzag Shorthand
VIII Be Taught.

There is now business school in
progress In the City Of Lamar. be
ing a branch of the Twentieth Cen
ulIry Business Colleges Of Colorado
Springs and Pueblo, which control
the entire western right to teach
the new Zigzag-Lightning Shorthand
The school Is, receiving the hearty
support OF the best citizens of Prov
ers county. 1t offers the young peo-
pie of our town and county chance
to secure a business education for
a nominal sum, which would other
wise cost them $500 or $500 in board
and expenses should they attend an
out of town business college. 1t
also offers them the best and most
approved method of shorthand. 1t
also teaches the "Blind'' method of
typewriting free of charge. The
typewriting course alone is well
worth 500 to any ambitious young
man or lady, just as an accomplish
ment.
This is no ordinary school. It is
backed by a $4,000 business college
company, with headquarters at Col
orado Springs, known as the Twen-
tieth Century Business College Com
pany, incorporated for the purpose
of establishing a chain of business
colleges to extend over the entire
West, to promote the famous Zigzag-
Lightning shorthand. This new sys-
TEN of shorthand is pronounced by
eminent critics to be a marvel of
speed, accuracy and simplicity, and
can be mastered in from one to three
months.
Ordinary systems of shorthand re-
quire from six to twelve months in
which to become proficient. With
this new system a superior pro-
ficiency is guaranteed in three
months. The Lamar office is at the
Central Hotel. Those desiring infor-
nation regarding school should COM
municate at once with Prof. S. j.
Friel at the above named office. A
five dollar reduction is given all OF
the next week.
As this Is the strongest business
college company in the west its in
fluence in securing positions for
graduates Is an item which should
not be overlooked by those desiring
advancement.

Ball Game.

The first league game of the sea-
son was played last Saturday at the
High School grounds. and Trinidad
defeated the Lamar boys in the fast
est and closest high school game
ever played in Lamar by score of
80.
The Trinidad boys started off in
the first inning to clean up the
town, and before the Lamar boys re-
covered from their stage fright two
runs had crossed the plate. one. as
the result of slow infield work and
the other as a result of good batting.
In the third inning Trinidad got an
other run on an inexcusable over
throw to third base. Then the boys
settled down to play ball and al
though the Trinidad boys got men
on bases they never really had a
chance to score.
The Lamar boys got their runs
on clean hits by Doughty and Mer-
vim Coover. One bad feature of the
game was ullotdhC hihhc ny mil
pire Mcclure when he called Will
LEIGH out at first when he was easily
safe. This decision cost Lamar the
game, as 1t was later proved, but
the boys have absolutely no hard
feelings against Mr.. Mcclure for
we think he is perfectly honest. and
the way he umpired the rest of the
game was the best that could be
asked for by anyone.
What the Lamar boys need to be
able to win games is to learn to
bat and run bases, on which points
they are woefully weak. Taken as
a whole a better game could not have
been asked for. and those who were
there were satisfied with the show
ing of the team. there were not
many there however.

detail, and 1t will show how 1t all

MINERS TAKE GOLD
FROM THREE BEACHES
oklahoman Returns From Alaska And
Tells Of strlkes-To Surprise
Folks at Home.

Gold dlggers have brought to light
the fact that three distinct beaches
existed on the Alaskan coast" said A.
P Davis Of Nome. Alaska, at the Sex
ton hotel last evening. Mr.. Davis Is
on his way to Vinita. Okla. where he
will spend Christmas with his parents
It Is his first Christmas out Of the
North country for ten years and he is
planning a great time He will surprise
his relatives, who live a little distance
from vinita. and who are not aware
Of the fact that he has left Alaska
at Nome. for instance. the third
beach, which lies some four or FIVE
miles back OF the present beach, has
proved the richest strike Of the three"
he said. "This beach Is about eighty
feet below the surface and several feet
below the present water line on the
beach
after the first beach was all taken
up with claims. a miner. termed hair
Drained in that country. took a notion
to eink a shaft a couple OF miles back
He was looking for the continuation Of

imagined ran back from the beach,
which he believed to be only the out.
groupings. After digging some time he
got traces OF the yellow metal. Then
he got more. He discovered that the
vein extended In a parallel line with
the beach Other miners took up this
line and it was quickly proven.
while the gold was being worked
out OF this beach other miners rea-
aoned thar II this vas q second beach
there might be third. 80 decided TO
try It. They went inland some four
miles and were rewarded with a vein
richer than either of the two previous
deposits. Geologlsts later confirmed
the miners opinions that there have
been at least three beaches on the
Alaskan coast. There may be more. /"

OKLAHOMA FARMS
AVERAGE 14S ACRES

Guthrie. Okla. Dec. ls.-Great pro.
gress in the matter of farm ownership
In Oklahoma Is shown by figures just
compiled by the Oklahoma state board
Of agriculture from the assessors re.
turns from last year. The total farms
owned by their occupants in 1908 was
1S2,50s, compared with los 900 in 1899,
the last year for which complete fg.
ures were obtainable, or an increase
of 22.7 per cent in nine years. In 1908
the proportion OF farms owned to the
total number was 575 per cent, while
In 1899 the proportion was 4s.S per
cent. The number OF tenant farmers
of course decreases accordingly
A comparison between the portions
OF the state formerly embraced In
Oklahoma and Indian territories de-
yelops some interesting figures. On
the Indian territory side the owned
farms have increased from 45505 to
1884 showing a rather slight though
steady increase in that part of the
state. In the portion OF the state
formerly included In Oklahoma ter
ritory, the increase has, however, been
much more rapid the number increas-
ing from 62,495 to S4,S74. The large
increase here is accounted for by the
opening of the Kiowa and Camanche
county and the Big Pasture and the
continual homesteading OF new lands
in the western and northwestern part
of the state On percentage basis,
the increase of owned farms on the
Indian territory side has been 4 per
cent while on the west side It has
been Is per cent in the nine year
period
The total land area OF Oklahoma
is 44,424.96O acres and 245 per cent
of this area was under cultivation or
reserved for native meadow in 1908
as compared with 274 per cent in 1907,
showing a slight decrease. While a
loss is shown in the amount of land
under cultivation, a gain OF 1915 per
cent is shown in the acreage OF crops
concerning which specific information
was obtained b. the board Of agri-
culture, The total amount OF land un.
der farm control in 1908 was 1S,s1S,1O0
acres. compared with 2i i,353.39 IN
1907, or decrease Of 7.2 per cent
II is hard for the average Oklaho.
ma farmer to be content with less
than quarter section, as is shown
by the fact that the average farm In
Oklahoma Is l496 acres, while the
average amount In actual cultivation
Is 76.S acres The average acreage
OF corn is greater than that of any
other crop. The average farmer
plants 1928 acres of corn, Sill acres
of cotton. 1876 acres of wheat, A acres
of oats and 14.4 acres of all other
crops. It would probably be hard,
however, to find a farm which would
approximate this average. as the wheat
acreage would be larger IN the north
and cotton more in the south
