SYSTEMS OF BOOKKEEPING
Most schools teach a theory course:
The student reads about what some
one else has done, and posts up his
work theoretically. The students of
the Tyler Commercial College have
to transact every item of business
for which they make an entry; they
learn to do by doing they buy ami
sell goods, write up deeds, mort
cages, drafts and all kinds of cont
mercial papers, ship goods just as
they would in actual business life
They not only learn thorough
course of Bookkeeping, but they OBJ
tain a practical business training
as WELL this business training is
worth as much to them as a course
of bookkeeping. bookkeeping through
practical business transactions is
much easier learned, and the stu
dent gets both the bookkeeping and
the business training in much less
time than he could get the book
keeping alone by the theory method
used IN other schools.
POSITIONS: The Tyler CONNER
cial College secures positions for
every worthy graduate; it fully re-
dlizes that practical trained students
placed in good paying positions are
the strongest advertisement q school
can put out and that this kind of
advertising brings in over IS per

connection told of il. Some boys
from Mangum went one day to find
out something in regard to this
beautiful mystery Three days later
their parents went with lanterns to
find the boys and brought them
home on stretchers, two of them
being unconscious when found. The
boys had tramped around and
around until exhausted in chamber
of the cave, of which there are
many. They had lost their matches,
their lanterns had gone out, and as
it is inky dark in there, they could
not find their way out.
About twenty rods from the cave
is found a most beautiful spring. For
ten feet the water gurgles and

Bic CANAL SCHEME
FOR ARID REGION
WOULD USE PANAMA MACHlN-
ERY IN BUILDING GIGANTIC
WATERWAY.

Oklahoma City, Nov. 2.-H. II
Parks of Grandfield, Okla, author o.
the resolution providing for the ap-
pointment of a committee to confer
with the International Irrigation con
gress relative to the plan Of build
ing a canal through the great plains
states, which was passed at Fridays
session of the International Dry
Farming Congress at Tulsa, was In
Oklahoma City Sunday en- route to
his home.
Mr.. Parks is sangune as to the
future of the scheme and believes
it will ultimately be done Although
not set out in the resolution, it is
the intention of Mr.. Parks, and
those associated with him, to plan
| the building of a canal from some
point on the Missouri river in North
Dakota through the great plains
states. or arid region of the United
States, connecting with the Colo
RADIO river The main object would
be to irrigate the arid region and
if done would be the most gigantic
undertaking in the way of irriga-
ton in this country.
The resolution provides for the
appointment of a committee repre-
senting the international Dry Farm
ing Congress to confer with a like
committee of the International Trrii-
cation Congress with the view Of
bringing the matter properly before
the United States congress. it
will be suggested that Colonel Goeth-
ais and the machinery, or as much
as may be needed, that was used
in the building of the Panama canal
be transferred to do the work.
Discussing his resolution Sunday,
Mr.. Parks said that inasmuCh as

while nothing of that kind has been
done in the west, he believes con-
gress will be favorably inclined TO
the proposition, since it will make
the now arid region the most pro-
ductiyc territory in the United States
Following is the full text of the
resolution which was adopted by
the dry farming congress:
"Whereas, there exists in the
United States what is known as
great plains states or arid region Of
the United States extending from
North Dakota to the Panhandle in
Texas, and,
Whereas, the United States geo.

Altuc, Okla. Nov. Owing to
the fact that the celebrated and no.

it is called the Jessie James cave
by the people of the surrounding
country. That they did make a hid
ing place of it is evident by the
names carved in the soft stone,
Frank James, May !, 1S70,' being
foremost among them.
The entrance to the cave is about
ten feet wide and eight or nine
feet high, sold rock bottom and top
but to the right as you enter about
zen feet from the entrance is strong
evidence of mans work, there being
a large excavation which will admit
man by bending over. This eX-
tends back about sixteen feet and
is without doubt a place used for
watch. Right in front Of this eX-
cayation a large rock was placed
and it was only by chance it was
discovered.
The cave proper is about mile
long and at all times of the year
filled with water. One can go back
one-fourth of a mile and there the
water is about three or four feet
deep, but back further it is six or
eight feet deep. There is no access
to the cave only by swimming, eX-
cept in front. This entrance is hard
to find, a party driving along will no.
