MOVEMENT STARTS
FOR BETTER ROADS
Craig County Good Roads Association
to Attempt Great Things in
Road Building.

\ movement that promises more
benefit to Vinita and the farmers of
this vicinity than any project ever at
tempted by this city was started yes
terday afternoon when the Craig
County Good Roads Association was
organized at the council chamber of
the City Hall building. A number of
business men met to talk over the
proposition of better roads for this
section and it was decided to organize
good roads association. e. ~ Rat
cliff was elected president and T. w.
Ridgeway secretary of the temporary
organization, which will be made per
manent and perfected at a general
mass meeting to be held in this city
on January 6, when d. Ward King,
the noted good roads advocate and
discoverer of the split log drag for
road improvement will be here to lee
ture on this proposition.
The association plans to make Jan
uary G, sort of holiday for business
houses in Vinita. Invitations will be
sent to the citizens of the town and
county to gather for discussion of
the improvement of roads. All busi-
ness houses will be closed during the
meeting and an effort will be made to
interest every citizen of the county in
the economic value of good roads. d.
Ward King will lecture at this meet
ing and give a demonstration of road
work. He is regarded as the foremost
road expert in the United States and
the association is fortunate in being
able to get him for this meeting.
The state of Oklahoma has recog-
nized the necessity of improving the
roads of this state and to that end has
created a department Of public high
ways OF which Sidney Suggs, formerly
of Ardmore, is superintendent. 1t is
hoped that within the next few weeks
a. luJN eiuGHL VIII nave bSNH pbuitCu
in every town and county in the state
for better roads. 1t is the intention
o fthe Craig County Association to be
in the lead in this movement. Every
business man, professional man or
whatever his vocation may be, should
get behind this movement and see
that it has large attendance here on
January 6. 1t is a movement to save
money for the farmer and add pros
perity to every citizen of the county
1t means money in the pockets of
every citizen The biggest drag on the
expense of the farmer today is the
cost of getting his produce to the mar
ket Help reduce this cost by help
ing improve the roads.

HOW SPOKANE
IS PRONOUNCED

Spokane, Wash, Dec. AFTER two
score years of teaching newcomers to
pronounce Spokane with a short "a"
residents of this city have received a
decided shock in the announcement by
Edward s. Curtis, noted Indian au-
thority, that the "a" should be long.
Battle lines are drawn closely and
the argument wakes warmer as the
days pass. Back east nearly all peo-
pie call it Spokane" with the "a
long, as in cane" When they come
west with this pronunciation they are
frowned down as tenderfeet, and are
educated to say Spokane" Now
comes the edict of the Indian expert,
and photographers and etymologists
have had their two score years Of
peace shattered. Meanwhile, old
timers are clinging tenaciously to the
short "a" lest they be designated as
tenderfeet by extremists. A board Of
arbitration has been suggested to set.

at Chickasha against Doss and others

cover bill of $t5S.14 for beer alleged
to have been purchased for the lodge.
The organization contested the bill
claiming that Doss and the other de-
PENDANTS were not authorized to rep
resent the lodge in the matter A
verdict was rendered against the brew
ing company and upon appeal the
opinion was affirmed. The supreme
court commission did not pass upon
any of the issues in the controversy
except to rule that the brewing COM
pany was not entitled to the protec-
tion of the court because the court
will take judicial knowledge of the
fact that the introduction of intoxi-
