LETTER FROM c. D. HEREFORD.
The following letter from c. D.
Hereford, who now lives or spends
his winters in Oklahoma, published
in the Putnam Democrat, will be of
interest to hundreds of his old friends
and associates who reside here.
Il landed here four weeks ago to-
day. Am much pleased with the
city-so much SO that ! closed deal
for residence on last Wednesday
for $500. l think it a nice place,
a two-story six room house with all
modern eonveniences. My health IS
much better here than it was at
home, but still have little asthma.
Many persons have been entirely
cured here. This Oklahoma City is
beautiful city of so 600 inhabitants.
1t has so miles of paved streets and
by next summer will have completed
many more miles. No saloons, but

issued and lots of boot-legging going

versity, and likes to attend. Inever
met nicer people in my life-every-
thing here is on the go. There are
$50 real estate dealers here and one
has no trouble in getting his wants
supplied. Jas. Halls daughter, Mrs.
DoddS, lives here. She was daugh-
ter of Mr.. Hall, of Fraziers Bottom,
and most excellent lady and her
husband is a pleasant gentleman.
Sam Webbs daughter, Lille also
lives here. Her husband, Mr.. Nc
Intire is a jeweler. Mrs. Campbell,
of St. Adams, also has u daughter,
Mrs. Emma Moore, living here. But
summing up all, there's no place
like the old Kanawha Valley and St.

Then there is the charming widow,
Mrs. Vim. B. Leeds, who has Tilted
one of royal, even imperial blood, in
the person of Prince Joachim Murat.
The prince offered his hand, his heart,
and his rank to the lovely widow
whose husband had been president of
the Rock Island railroad. Mrs. Leeds
said to him, 81 shall not marry
again. At least, l shall not marry a
foreign nobleman.' If some of our
American wealthy girls allying them
selves with foreign fortune seekers
waited until they attained the wears
of discretion of Mrs. Leeds, they,
too, would most likely say the same
thing.

probable action of the board of county
commissioners at its meeting early in
November with reference to the mat
ter of granting a saloon licer5e az
Parker. The matter has been before
the board upon two different % casions
at previous meetings and tabled for
different reasons.
Petitions containing the signatures
of many prominent taxpayers and oiti-
Zens have been presented to the board
demonstrating against the granting of
the license. The reclamation service,
which employs many men on the Sun
nyside project is chief among those
opposing. 1t is also understood that
the Indian agent has written a vig0r-
Gus letter to the board stating that he
would rather an epidemic of smallpox
break out on the reservation than see
a saloon established at Parker. The

community and that the office cannot
