Of POWER
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS
/ LOOK ASKANCE AT PRO-
POSED METHOD

Members of the city board OF edu-
cation, most OF whom will undoubted-
ly oppose the city charter now being
written, have furnished one OF the
very best arguments for its ad0p-
ton Several special sessions call
ed did not materialize, and last night
the regular mont thly meeting was post
poned on account of a lack OF quorum.
There are pending rot only the rou-
tine matters, but contracts for heat
ing plants for all the schools Futile
efforts have been made for month
to get a quorum
The new charter will provide for
the abolition of the big school board
along with the pestitCrous ward lines.
The schools are to be managed as the
general affairs OF the city the parks
and the libraries-by three persons.
The theory on which the small boards
is based is that the people desire re-
sults and not perennial debating So
cieties.
The freehold board is to have a
meeting tonight. The charter is rap
idly drawing TO a close, and all sug-
gesti0ns should be hurried IN.
1t Is evident the idea Of the free
hold board to provide for despatch
OF business. The three commission.
ers are to have offices at the city
hall aud are to be accessible to cit.
iaens every day They are to meet
every day, Under the present sys.
TEN an ordinary work Of Improvement
must drag along at least six weeks,
exclusive OF advertising while under
the commission system .three days
Will suffice, exclusive Of advertising.
The revenue provisions of the new
charter are different in some respects
from the present charter provisions.
Judgments against the city are not
70 be tolerated as now. The present
system simply piles up the debts OF
one council for somebody else to pay
IA sinking fund is to be maintained
for the payment of coupons OH city
bonds. The city is to be given author
ity to issue bonds tn lieu Of any bonds
now outstanding
The board OF commissioners is tc
be the board Of equalization.
-Four payments are to be made By
the county treasurer to the city treas
urer-on January -. May 10, July l5
and November -, Of each year The
city treasurer is to require at least
Two per cent interest or daily OF

ANOTHER DESPERATE
ADVERTISING SCHEME

Well-informed men among the en-
ployees of the Guthrie street car sys-
tenn are Of the opinion that the strike
in Oklahoma City is not very seri-
Gus affair and that it will not affect
Guthrie in any way. The roads in
the two cities are owned by the same
company but the corps Of employees
are entirely separate and are not at-
filiated in any way There IS no loc-
al organization OF street car men,
Apparently Oklahoma City is doing
some doubtful advertising IN ill.,
street car business The strike is
played up in its newspapers as an
event OF worldwide importance,
whereas only about $50 men are in
volyed irectly and is in no way
dangerous unruly or even threatening

FAME Of WATER SPREADS
Curative Properties of Guthrie S
Mineral Water Attracting
Wide Attention

An illustration of how fast bhc
fame of the Guthrie mineral water
travels and how effectively it be-
comes known in successive towns Is
found to be noted in many ways A
letter written By c. A. Johnson. man
ager of the p II. Albright, CO. New
kirk, on March 6 to II. l.. Williams
Is case in point. 1t shows plenty
OF good missionary work.
Mr. Johnson asks that a crate OF
Carlsbad be sent to John II. Grain,
of Fort Scott, kansas MI. Grain has
friend at Fort Scott who has had
stomach trouble for years and has
been to many resorts. Mr.. Grain is
a brother OF Mrs. Johnson, and while
at Newxirk last week he tried out
the water with great success and is
evidently preaching it TO tht Kans-
ans Several Newkirk people are
regular consumers Of the Guthrie
sodic muriated water
The extension OF the use Of the
water from Mineral Wells park is re-
markable, considering the fact that
the only advertising 1t has had has
been by word of mouth and in news
paper items. The plans OF a local
committee are for a regular adyertis'
ing campaign.
Dr. f. S. pike, OF Charleston w
Va. has commenced the work OF To-
eating an easterR colony here sen
era Others are Invading thel health
resorts OF the east with plans tc
bring people here The contention
each urges is that the water is a.
good as In any III the world and that
the superior climate Of Guthre
makes the advantage irresistible
Eastern and northern spots are avail
able to the average person only few
months of the year, while here the
climate will allow even inyalids &C

Secretary Nichols said today that
hours before the beginning of the

alton the record was broken. The
speakers advertised for the occasion
had all arrived. He regarded the arriv
al of all expected visitors as unique
In the history Of big meetings. The

also regarded as very large.

Visitors naturally get to the Min
eral Wells park early In their stay.
Most of them have read and heard
of the remarkably fine water here
and all the others are promptly told.
The early arrivals had their chances
al the park this afternoon, the busi-
ness Of the convention not having
been commenced and the weather
being fine. There is rapidly form
ing local tradition that whosoever
drinks Of the salt water here will
come back some time, and II this
proves to be true in the case Of

city may expect many returns for
a long time.
