IS IDEAL IN ALL RESPECTS

A real estate transaction which is
of more than ordinary interest to
the people of Rock Island, involving
as 1t does the requirement of one Of
the most modern and attractive
homes in the city by one of the best
known citizens of Rock Island, has
been consummated in the purchase
through the agency of Robert Ben
nett, of the beautiful new house and
grounds of Mrs. Grace V. Harper on
the heights between Twentieth and
Seventeenth streets by |. S. White.
An Ideal Estate.
The property embracing a six
acre tract, lies between Thirteenth
and Eighteenth avenues and Seven
teenth and Twentieth streets and is
adorned, as is known, by one of the
most magnificent houses and other i'm
provements, including barn. garage etc,
in the three cities. All the buildings
are of stucco and are the most mod
ern in every particular. While the
consideration is not given. it is I'M
derstood to be in the neighborhood of
$4,000, and is reasonable at that
figure
Mr.. White and his family will take
up their residence in their new home
the coming week. Mr. and Mrs White
it is reported will make extensive
improvements on the grounds.

ply. The writer, Frank w. DeWolf,
acting director of the survey, de-
clines to give an opinion as to the
preference between artesian water
and river water. and states that he
can give no opinion as to the quality
of the artesian water He says, how
ever, that it is quite certain that
artesian water in sufficient quantity
could be obtained if it was deemed
desirable to obtain water in his way"
1t will be remembered that the
director of the state water survey,
in his letter, stated that the artesian
water would be very unsuitable for
drinking or manufacturing purposes,
and that it would require 100 wells
such as the Mitchell & Lynde well
to supply 100000 gallons daily.

BROCK THE BOOSTER.

The president OF the Oklahoma City
Chamber of Commerce is Sidney L.
Brock. young merchantof that city.
Mr.. Brock is not magnate OF any
kind but just the proprietor Of a re-
tail dry goods store. He is not counted
as one Of Oklahoma City's rich men,
neither is he one Of the largest prop
erty owners.
But Mr.. Brock is a booster proper.
When 1t came 10 landing a big pack
ing house, he advanced $4,000 Of his
own money in securing options on
land.
Ii appears that Mr.. Brock had no
fears that his business would suffer
if Oklahoma City grew larger On the
other hand, he appears TO have taken
the view that a larger field would give
him larger opportunities to build up
his own business and he had no hesi-
fancy in taking chances on getting his
share Of the increased business that
the new industry VIII bring to the
city. Consequently he threw all his
energies into the undertaking and
backed 1t with his coin.
Oklahoma city honors Booster
Brock and there is-no danger that he
viii lose anything through the sacri-
flee OF time and money that he has
made to promote the progress of his
city. But even if Mr.. Brock should
not make a fortune by reason Of the
industry that he has helped to secure
for his city. his fellow citizens viii al
ways hold his name in the highest re
gard as the man who did his duty and
led them in one Of the greatest move
ments in the building Of this wonder
full city. Yes. it pays to be a booster

UNION or FORCES NEEDED.

Chickasha has every opportunity 70
rgrow-that much is conceded by every
body.
Chickasha is growing-a fact that
anyone with open eyes can observe.
Our prospects as a city we're never
brighter, never were there SO many
forces in motion tending 70 promote
the progress Of the city.
But
And that is mighty big little
word
Chickasha is not going to grow and
prosper as she should unless we have
a closer coordination Of our town
building forces.
A divided army never won a battle.
IA divided citizenship cannot accom-
plish large results in building a town.
fThe history Of every progressive city
affords Illustrations Of the power Of
compact, harmonious organization.
This is the secret Of success in every
instance that you can name.
Chickasha has two organizations,
The Commercial Club and the Mer-
chants Association. each devoted to
the purpose OF boosting Chickasha in
its own field
The Merchants Association is doing
"a work that has been neglected in the
past and IS doing il well. II is reach
ing out for more retail trade and seek
ing in every way to advance the in
terests Of its members.
The Commercial Club is deyOting its
energies toward the securing of fac
tories. jobbing houses and all the en-
1erprises that make a larger and better
town.
1t is clear that there is room for
bosn Of these organizations and thai
both are necessary If both are prop
erly conducted. there is. no opposition
between them. On the contrary each
supplements the other and the two
combined viii produce the results tina
all desire.
