D|REFUL PROPHECY
OF INDIAN CHIEF
WHICH is COMING TRUE-HUNT-
ERS CREEK TAKES WHITE
MANS LIFE EVERY FIVE YEARS.

Portland, Ore, Feb. 27.-Curry
county people are coming to believe
the prophecy made by Eagle Foot, al
Indian chief, years ago that a white
mans life must be given to Hunters
Greek at the first of every half de
cade. Eagle Foot was Rogue River
indian chief and he made the predic'
tion on his death bed. He was fatally
wounded in the beginning of the
Rogue River Indian War.
Residents of Curry county remem-
ber that on January 2, 1896, Rufus
Walker, a prospector, attempted to
ford the stream and was drowned, his
body being found a few days later.
They recall that in the month of Janu-
airy, 1901, A. s. Carl, cattleman from
California, fell over a bank into Hunt
er's Creek and was drowned, his body
never being recovered. In January,
1905, a stranger walked over an en-
bankment after dark and the creek
washed his body out TO sea.
The latest victim the creek has
claimed is believed to be w. NJ. Dun
can, a trapper, who disappeared last
month and has not since been seen.
His cabin is situated short distance
from Hunters Creek and his traps are
set along that stream. 1t is supposed
he fell in the water from log cross
ing the creek and was swept to his
death.
Hunters Greek is a small stream
except when the snow melts, follow
ing warm rains in the mountains. 1t
has, however, already claimed more
victims than have been taken by any

COMMERCIAL CONGRESS.
Prof. Chas. N. Gould of Oklahoma viii
Represent the State.

One of the best known figures In
the state of Oklahoma, Prof. Chas. n
Gould, director of the Oklahoma Geo
logical Survey, will represent the
state at the great meeting of the
Southern Commercial Congress at At
lanta, March s, 8 and 10, in the dis
cussion of THE Solid South of Busi-
ness Professor Gould, by reason OF
his deep interest in constructive ques-
tions has proved to be, in the develop
ment of Oklahoma, much more than
a geologist and scientist. He not
only interests himself in the buried
strata of his state, but in the CONNER
cial development of her mineral re-
sources.
The Atlanta meeting is creating
great enthusiasm among leading Ok
lahomans, and not only business men,
but scientists, professional men, stu
dents, educators, agriculturists and
farmers, are preparing to attend the
three days session of what promises
to be the greatest commercial con
ference ever held in the history of the
south, il not of the nation.
So important has this meeting been
regarded by the president of the Uni
ted States, that although he was oblig-
ed to cancel all other spring engage
ments on account Of great stress OF
public affairs and the probability OF
an extra session of congress, he will
be present in Atlanta on the closing
day, March 10, and deliver an address
choosing for his subject the slogan OF
the Southern Commercial Congress,
"A Greater Nation Through a Greater
South"
1t is expected that the state will
be as we'll represented in attendance
as it is in speakers, as men from all
walks of life are preparing to be
present, and many of the most impor-
tant commercial organizations have
arranged to be represented as bodies.

MlTs-ee VOTES ToDAY-READ CONTEST


More votes. More candidates, and
an ever increasing interest is the
story in miniature of the Ardmore-
ite contest up to date.
The Maytag 40" that the Ard
moreite is going to give as the first
prize in this great contest has ar
rived and will be on display at the
garage. All the contestants and their
friends are invited to call and see it.
The Maytag" line of cars will be
handled in this territory and in Sc
curing this line of cars We were able
to offer the best automobile value on
the market. The Maytag 40" was Sc
lected by the Ardmoreite for a num-
Der Of reasons, first, because it is
without doubt the best machine for
anywhere near the price that it Is
listed at and because it makes it
possible for us to offer our contest
ants just as good an automobile in
tbs Maytag 40" as we would have
had to pay $500 or more for. Then
there are a number of other import
ant features to recommend the MAY
tag 49," such as the simplicity and
ease in which it is operated, the
smooth running motor and if you
want "a racing car, all you have to
do is to strip it and you have one
of the fastest cars on the market.
Now that all the prizes are here
on display and the contestants can
see just what they will receive when
the contest is over, it will be up to
them to make every moment count
and all should remember that this is
a short contest and that the value
of the cash prizes given will more
than pay them for all the work they
could possibly do.
