Gently came from Elk City, Okla

some time. He lived here some
years ago and this country will

The Sheldon Country
Growing

It is remarkable, the extent
which the Sheldon country has
progressed in the last few years.
Only a few years ago Sheldon
citizens came to Duncan to vote,
had no store, not even a post
office and a very common country
school house. Now, Sheldon has
a splendid mercantile establish
ment for a country community, a
post office and a aschool house that
would be a credit to the older and
richer communities back east.
The farmers are building bet
ter houses and their farms are be-
coming more productive and look
much improved. To go into the
Sheldon settlement looks like get
ing back to the farm. and really
you are, because the valley
around Sheldon is truly a farm
ing section and the farmers are
getting in shape to live off the
fact of the land. If you were to
attend some social function in the
Sheldon valley you would meet
as progressive, up to date and
intelligent class of people as you
would find in any of the older
communities, of the west or
east.
The valley has been~e eabdually
and constantly settling up but,
there is plenty, room for more,
and land down there is much
cheaper than around Duncan. It
is a good place for investment
and is a pleasant community in
which to live.
The citizens there are entitled
to a Justice of the Peace and
their own Constable as a matter
of convenience for themselves,
as it is now they must come ten
miles to Duncan at any time a
Justice or Constable is needed.

that at the Joint hearing held on Saturday
before the Cities Committee Of the Senate

numerous criticisms Of the proposed char
ter. particularly with reference TO the chap
ter concerning the Board Of Estimate and

said. were fundamental. and the Union be
l!sved there was not sufficient time remain
ing before the close Of the legislative ses-
sion TO correct the pending bill
The Union said Senator Cullen in answer
10 some Of these criticisms, informed them
the bill was undergoing radical revision in

official would be glad to confer with repre-
sentatives Of the Citizens Union When the
Union signihed its willingness 10 confer
however. II was told the time was too lin
itcd 70 hold conferences and asked 10 sub
nit any amendments it proposed in writing.
The Citizens Union therefore took the
stand that if the time was too limited 20
errnt Of conferences on the defects of the
CHARTER II was also too short to prepare
the necessary amendments with sufficient
care. In view Of these things. therefore.
the Citizens Union urged the Corporation
