That the waters of the Washita

certain. 1t comes with considerable
authenticity that the company head

ident and Joe Thompson of Pauls
Valley, vice president, has acquired
site in the vicinity of the canyon
on which to establish a plant thai
will use the water as a motive
power. This company is known as
the Washita Power and Electcir
Company and has been in existence
for several years organizing under
the law passed by congress for such
purpose before the advent of state.

GOOD WORDS FOR
CONFEDERATE HOME
JUDGE GAIT RETURNS FROM eX-
TENDED TRIP THROUGH NORTH
EASTERN PART OF STATE.

Judge Gait returned this morning
from an extended trip through the
northeastern part Of the state in the
interest of he Confederate Home. He
visited Muskogee, Tulsa, McAleste",
Wagner, Vinita, Okmulgee, Sapul-
pa and several other points and feels
highly gratited at the interest mani
tested everywhere in the home.
He is in receipt of letters every day
indicating the unanimity of the people
over the establishment of this insti;J-
ton where the old veterans can and
haven of rest in their last days,
when the vicissitudes of life are such
as to render aid necessary.
The sentiment for the institution is
not confined to those of the Southern
cause but finds expression among
those who were on the other side as
well \ contribution sent in by DR..
John Threadgill of Oklahoma City, re-
ceiyed by him from a contributor to
the cause indicates to some extent
this feeling. The following letter ac-
COmpanied the contribution.

Dear Sir
Enclosed herewith is a check intend
ed for the Confederate Home at Ard

throughout the war. This is given not
so much to aid in building the Home
as it is intended as a small testimon-
ial to the fortitude and valor of the
men who fought so long and bravely
for the lost cause" which to them
was as sacred as the cause we fought
for.
Kindly see this gets 10 the proper
place.
