At the last meeting of the county COM
missioners of Merrick county, in Novem-
Der. the sum of $500 was appropriated
for the erection of monument on the
spot where stood that famous sentinel
Of the plains, Lone Tree. This was one
OF the historical spots in the early pion-
Ger days. This giant tree stood on the
north bank of the Platte river, close 10
the old Oregon trail, and could be seen
for many miles. both up and down the
river. Under It's friendly shade, the
emigrsnt trains halted for rest. After
the Union Pacific Railroad built through
this part of the country. the town now
Central City, WAS called Lone Tree.
Finally the Old tree died and decsyed
away. and the spot where ii stood and
brsved the storms of many seasons was
almost forgotten. The matter has been
taken up by the people of Merrick coun-
ty. and q very fitting and appropriate
stone is henceforth to mark the place
where this historical tree stood. On the
shaft will be simply the words: Here
stood the old Lone Tree on the Oregon
trail

VICTORY
TO HOME FOLK
MEN WEEP FROM JOY WHEN
LEE cRUcE TELLS OF HIS VIC.
TORY LAST TUESDAY.

Lee Cruce democratic nominee
for governor, arrived in the city
Friday afternoon from oklahoma
City where he went to hear the re
turns. No fewer than three thou
sand people were at the station TO
meet him upon his arrival home
The Springer Military band in
white uniform, played number of
pieces of music at the station, and
although the train was two hours
late, the crowd was patient until
the arrival of the Santa Fe which
brought as a portion of its burden
the Hon. Lee Cruce. He had scarce
" reached the steps until his friends
bodily picked him up and carried
him To the pavement He was
showered with congratulations from
home folks and was given a demon
stration worthy Of the man, worthy
of the victory ami worthy of the
friendship OF the Ardmore people
for Lee Cruce.
Awaiting the governor was an au-
tomoble party and ne was driven
to the Wilmington hotel where he
made a short talk to his home folks.
When he appeared before the peo-
pie he was greeted with thou
sand cheers, He spoke briefly, tell
ing his friemls that he had tasted
the cup of defeat and he knew what
il meant and now he was drinking
from the cup of victory that was run
ming over and he was unable to eX-
press 10 the people his Joy and his
thanks for the devotion of his
friends
He referred to the delegation of
Bryan county citizens as being made
up of men who do things and ex.
pressed his thanks to them for their
loyalty. As Lee Cruce stood the
victor before his nome people his
10Y was not exceeded by theirs and
men shed tears OF happiness as they
listened to his words. There was
never a more responsive crowd and
there was never a more popular
man with his home people than Lee
Cruce.
Following the reception at the
depot and the speech-malling at the
Wilmington, Mr.. Cruce was driven
to his home.
Senator Hatchett entertained the
crowd for a brief period, with
speech in which he recounted the
fight that had been made in Bry-
an county and eulogized the Ard |
more statesman VINO had won the
battle.
In his speech Mr.. Cruce said it
had been conceded that he had won
the nomination and that he had
lne assurance of the friends of the
men who opposed him that they
would be on the stump for him in
the campaign. He said in the com
ng contest he woulH again bring
'ictory and that he would be the
second governor Of Oklahoma. He
'eierred to his promise to pluck
'ictory in the primary campaign and
le made the same promise in the
'oming campaign when he mus
meet the republican nominee for
governor. Mn. Cruce said he would
.iways remember ne was a citizen
If Ardmore wherever he went but
hat when elected governor he
would be the governor of no section
II the state but of the whole state.
