Road Work Progressing.

The road work now being
done in the vicinity of Coeburn
and in other parts of the coun-
ty is making good progress, and
the greatest complaint being
heard is that contractors can
not find all the men they need
The time is near at hand
when more funds W i'll be need
ed to make these much needed
roads and put them in much
better condition for winter, and
for that reason we would like
TO have the Board of Superyi-
sors ask for an order at once
calling for an election for the
additional bond issue in order
that the roadwork will not have
to be delayed on account of
funds. If the road from 81.
Paul to Norton by way of Coe-
burn and Tacoma were now
completed the people along that
route would have but little
trouble in getting their produce
TO market. The people and the
Board realize that TO do this
work right it will require an
additional bond issue and no
time should be lost in voting
the additional bonds. -Coeburn
Journal.

was killed, left yesterday afternoon
for his home near Wynnewood with
the remains of his unfortunate son.

FEDERAL MONEY
FOR SCHOOLS
PROF. CALVIN BALLARD HERE
e. TO NAME APPoRTloNMENT TO
CARTER COUNTY,.

Prof. Calvin Ballard, supeIintend-
ent of the day schools of the five
civilized tribes, arrived in the city
yesterday afternoon for the purpose
of examining into the maintenance
fund of all the several school dis
tricts IN Carter county. These TactS
he is gathering are to be used in the
distribution of the funds appropriat-
ed by the federal government for the
support of schools in the Indian
Territory portion OF Oklahoma.
The federal government has ap-
propriated 100000 to the common
schools of the east side of the state.
None of this money is to be used
in incorporated towns, but all OF it
goes to rural districts Mr. Ballard
goes into details in gathering his
information. He goes to the office
of the county superintendent in each
county and ascertains the expense Of
running each school in the county.
Where less than eight months are
provided for he will make approprl-
ations to carry the schools for eight
months. In speaking of this ar
rangemcnt Mr.. Ballard stated thai
it seemed somewhat an injustice for
the reason that districts where a
special tax had been voted would
not receive aid and the aid would
20 to those who did not try to help
themselves. In instances however
where the special tax was voted
down in expectancy of federal aid it
Is the intention of the department
to deny aid to these schools.
There are in Carter county from
35 to 40 school districts that will
share in the federal fund and this
county will receive from $4,000 to
$1,000.
Mr.. Ballard left here Tuesday for
Marietta and will go from there to
Sulphur. He states that the Chick
asaw and Choctaw nations will OBJ
tain a greater share Of the federal
money for the reason that the su-
