MARKS EPOCH IN HISTORY or
cHIcKAsHA.

When the first car went over the
Chickasha street railway, new epoch
IN the history OF the town was opened.
Monday, July II, will be written in
the annals Of the city as the date upon
which chickasha entered new era Of
development.
The occasion Is one for congratulate
ing Col Woodward and his associates,
the boosters who backed the project 10
cally with their hard cash and all the
people Of the city who will share in the
benefits OF the new enterprise All
our people rejoice that the enterprise
that was launched year ago by Law
renee Martin has at last taken tangible
form. Many were sKeptical about it
from the start and their doubts were
only partially removed even when they
saw construction work started. We
presume all the doubters were con
verted when they saw the cars 60
around the line
The installation Of the street car
system is not only important in itself
but It is even more significant as an
indicator Of the progress of the town.
Men do not invest their money In
such an enterprise until there is a
necessity for it and until II gives
promise Of returns Col. Woodward
and his associates didn't start in
blindly but as shrewd business men
they took an inventory OF Chickasha,
its past, present ana promise for the
future. They based their judgment on
facts and after thorough investigation
they decided that Chickasha was a
good field for such inyestmen; they
had faith in the city and therefore
they put their money at work here.
The incidents attending the inaugu-
ration Of service on the line were
typical Of Col. Woodward and Of
chickasha No hand bills or colored
posters were issued to announce the
event, but few citizena--as many as
could be carried in two cars-were
told that the cars would start at a
certain hour and were invited to take
the trip. And the cars started at the
exact time announced. Col. Wood
ward, in his business-liIxe manner. told
the crowd that the street car line was
ready for business and he was con
graduated in informal words by men,
bers Of the party and that was all.
And that's about the way Col. Wood
ward has done business from the start; j
he hasn't been guilty Of saying much
but he has been doing things, which Is
a better way. Likewise 1t has been
the Chickasha wa Ito do things with
out much flare Of trumpets. Perhaps
II would be better If we would make ]
more noise over our achievements.
The street car system is standing evi- {
dence Of chickashas progress. 1t Iii
shows that we have left many things q
behind and have entered into larger q
epoch of city growth. It should be an &
to us to resolve to accom- i
plish stiIl greater things.
Praise and honor for Col. Woodward
and the Chickasha boosters who back
ed him and, again, congratulations to
the city.
