1t is now possible to travel from
Puget Sound to Los Angeles in less
than forty-five hours. By a re-
arrangement of train schedules, the
time has been shortened thirteen
hours. Such improved facilities
mean much for the commercial de-
velopment of the Pacific Coast,
knitting all parts of it together,
much more closely. An excursion
will be conducted to Southern CAL
ifornia, under the auspices of the
Publicity Bureau of the new Seattle

made for Gov. Hay to accompany

in Western Oregon that will un-

THEY WORKED WITH A WILL.
A Good Start Is Made on the Roads
Leading to the oil Fields.

Monday August 5, was the big day
appointed to work the roads, espe-
cially the road leading from town to
the Broken Arrow oil fields, The day
was all that could be asked 1t was
neither too warm nor too cool. In
the morning fully one hundred men
and about forty teams \came out 1t
took some time to get ready, but
when everything was ready every
man went to work with a will. On
the first two miles Of road extending
to the Wagner county fine were en-
ployed two grades with four teams to
each machine as propellers. Then
came men with plows and scrapers at
least score of the latter and then
men with shovels and picks. BY noon
the work was well under way. Then
came more teams and about fifty
more men. The dirt rolled over and
over until in places the grade was
raised several feet. Culverts were
put In where needed and the road
gradually assumed shape. The farm
ers along the way generally Joined in
and helped. Beyond the twomile line
the farmers took the matter in hand
we are told worked with a will. Their
part of the road was put in apple pie
order The road was not completed
that day, but men continued on the
Job, and It is safe TO say that by the
time the Ledger Is in the hands of
its readers most of these nine miles
Of road will be built This speaks
well Of the people of town and the
farmers who possess the proper spir-
II. OF course, there are some who
found an excuse to stay at home.
They are the ones who grovl most
at the lack OF enterprise on the part
Of the people. The men worked hard.
indeed they did all they could and
their work shows for itself.-Broken
Arrow Ledger
If Broken Arrow can show the oil
men n determination to make the
town a good place TO live in by hold
ing good roads picnic and putting
the already good roads in perfect con-
ditIon. ought not some of the other
towns in the oil districts follow suit?
It is the surest thing you know
that the oil men will appreciate the
compliment.

pealed 20 the president and through
their attorney, a Mr.. Wilson of Kan
sas CITY, submitted lengthy brief
setting forth the reasons as to why
they should be favored In the mat
ter OF occurring oil leases, which are
among the most valuable in the
world. The Uncle Sam oil company
also went step farther by stating
that the 1900 stockholders In the
company had been communicated
with and in the event of the presi-
dents refusal TO approve the lease TO
100000 acres asked for, they had
been requested to secure pledges from
n hundred voters each to cast their
votes in the November election
against tn president. 1t will mean a
loss OF 100000 votes to you If our
lease Is not approved" was the ulti-
natum Of the Uncle Sam company.

THE APRIL FOOL JOKES.

What has become Of the robust old
April joke?
Where is the wool doughnut. so fried
and Drowned in fat as to deceive even
Foxy Grandpa? Where is the empty
purse nailed to the side walk?
Where is the April Fool placard. at
tached to the back OF the sedate and
conservative citizen, as he marches
down to the Office. stepping high and
with his cnin in the air?
April Fools day. like st. Valentine
and other traditional customs, seems
largely to have fallen into the hands
OF the children. Annually you may
still hear Tommy asking Johnny il he
sees the bird UP the tree, or if he is
going to the circus this afternoon
But among the grown-ups, how long
is it since the wife has set out to fool
the husband after the custom Of the
Fathers. Are some of us growing old 4?
Still we have faith to believe that
there are some yet among us who re-
tain enough of the play spirit to keep
up the pranks and festivals of child
hood. There are still adults who get
more satisfaction out of the candles
and glitter of the Christmas tree than
from the most expensive present. And
no doubt there are homes where the
sporting chance of fooling your better
half is better than a flier in stocks.
Quite likely the men are responsible
for the decline of April Fool among
the grown-ups. After you have been
fooled by the wife of your bosom for
a dozen years regularly before break
