THEY RE OFF FOR
THE GOOD ROADS!
ELECTION is CARRIED FOR
BONDS ON SEPTEMBER 10.
NO Dissenting Voice
Farmers Who Appeared Before Coun-
~ Commission All Heartily in
j Favor of Movement.

That Tulsa County will soon be able
20 boast of the best roads in okla
homa was assured late yesterday af-
ternoon, when the county commits
sioners issued a call for an election
on September 18th, for tho purpose
Of voting road-improvement bonds to
the amount of 100000. Not a dis
sentng voice has been raised against
the bond issue, and the commission
ers are confident that the proposition
will carry by an almost unanimous
majority.
q Pursuant to a call made two weeks
ago, when the commissioners set yes
tcrday as the date on which to hear
all matters pertaining to the estab-
! fishing of a road improvement district
the county commissioners met early
/ yesterday morning and at once took
up the road Improvement proposition.
The original petitions calling for n
district six miles wide running the
length Of the county, and a strip ten
miles wide, the width Of the county
were taken up, and under the direc-
ton of the county attorneys office
the signcrs to the petition were
looked up to see II they had the le-
gal right to initiate such a movement,
Everything was found all right. ana
then a petition from farmers in Lynn
lane Township was taken up. The
petition asked that Lynn Lane be In
cluded in district No. 1. on advice
from County Attorney Malloy, COM
missoners decided that they would
not include this territory in the orig
inal road Improvement district.
A number of farmers ana interest
ed persons appeared at the meeting
and without exception all were in IA
vor of the proposition.
IT is likely from the sentiment eX-
pressed yesterday that If the bonds
are voted without any trouble in tho
original district, that other petitions
Will be gotten up requesting that the
county commissioners establish an
other district and call for an election
TO vote more bonds. The good roads

Tulsa County.
The county commissioners have al
ready opened negotiations for the
sale OF the bonds, and have received
assurances from bond buyers that the
entire issue will be taken without any
hitch.
The raise Of assessments in this
county by the state equalization board
came in for some discussion at the
meeting last night, and there was
some talk of protesting against the
big raises in valuation, II being claim
cd that Tulsa County was not treated
the same as other counties on the
East Side of the state. 1t Is not likely
however, that any action will be
taken on this point.
The bids for the construction Of the
negro school house were opened and
reGd. The lowest bid was 400, and
that contract was let at that figure.
The contract for dirt work at the
approach of tie bridge across the
Arkansas River at BiXby was let at a
contrict price of 10 cents per cubic
yard.
The commissioners were in session
until late last night. but much Of the
time was taken up In allowing claims
and transactlng unlmportant busi-
ness.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
TRAVEL AND TRAVELLERS.
m the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
II Is often much harder to stay at
home than 1t is to go travelling. The
life at home frequently lacks the
spice of variety. We know each day
what to expect, and the surprise par
ties are few and far between. Nothing
out OF the ordinary happens. One day
is added to another in monotonous Sc
quence on the calendar, but at year
end the sum of our accomplishments
appears little or nothing. Then we be-
gin TO imagine all manner OF interest
ing and exciting things going on in
other places, just as those on vaca-
ton piazza at the seashOre think that
all the things worth doing are in
town. and those in town believe that
all the movements are down there
among the holiday-makers on the
sand. The stirring center of every
thing always seems to be somewhere
| else than just where We are. Travel.
with some OF us, is a constant miera-
ton 10 get away from ourselves. from
the chatting routine and from the &C
custOmed environment. But TO be per
| petually on the go" is very differ,
ent thing from travelling. Travel, like
love, ought to be a liberal education.
| 1t ought to be more a change of mind
than a change of place. 1t should
| mean an enlargement of the mental
horizon and a widening OF the scope OF
ones ideas

BALTIMORE FAIRGROUNDS.

From the Baltimore Sun.
When summer comes and the
schools are closed the children troop
by thousands into the Fairgrounds.
There they find wholesome amuse-
ment and recreation, exercise and
games that develop the body and mind.
They are under the care of competent
leaders, who direct their games and
contests and keep them interested.
They are kept out of mischief, they
are prevented from falling under the
evil Influences that menace the child
who runs wild on the streets. Many
a tired mother finds it blessed re-
spite when the children spend a few
hours on the playground, and she has
the satisfaction of knowing that they
are as safe as if they were under her
own watchfui eye. Baltimore has been
leader among American cities in pro
yiding recreation for its young peo-
pie under careful direction, and the
Fairgrounds association, during the
fourteen years of it's existence, has &C
complished a service of almost meal
culable value. The rapid expansion of
its field has been due to public demand
and is proof that parents appreciate
what the association is doing.

FROCk COATS AND TROUSERS.

From the New Yark World.
BY the municipal art authorities of
Paris it has been decreed that there
shall not be erected in that city any
more statues of men in frock coats or
in evening coats. In Rome a number
of sculptors have declared against
statutes wearing trousers. There is
an agitation in both these art centers
for the adoption by men of form of
dress that will be comfortable to wear
and artistic to look at either in real
life or in marble. This combined Ro-
man and Partisan movement comes
timely to the season of graduation
days, when SO many young orators and
thinkers are inviting us to the ques-
ton. Whittier are we drifting? Some
thing less than a century ago the wo-

Never was rain cloud
That really came to stay.
Never was a dry spell
That didn't yield at length
So. cheer up, brother,

Never was a cyclone
That didn't swiftly fit.
Never was a hailstorm
That didn't have to quit.
Never was hot wave
That didn't have to cool,

And observe the Golden Rule!
