To the Land Owners Of Mclean Co

~ WV AA0W Wv 0SAS Va 4ASASoX W.
We are just now planning our cam
paign for land buyers for the 1918 sea-
son. Our agents in Minnesota and
South Dakota are lining up prospective
buyers. We consider the 1912 season
closed now and in summing up our re-
cord we find that it was not a good year
for the land unsuccessful we did fair
ly well. We actually sold 81 quarters
of Mclean County land in 1912. This
land was mostly tributary to Washburn
and with few exceptions was improved
farming land and the buyers were South
Dakota people who will move here and
farm. Last year we confined our
operations to the vicinity of Washburn.
This season, however, we want to ex-
tend our territory and u business and
will operate and do business any where
within a radius of so miles of Wash
burn. We expect to do an extensive
land business and we want to list not
less than 200 farms. We expect to
have a good run of buyers and We want
to have a good list of lands to select
from. If you are interested in selling
some of your land holdings you should
write or see US and list your land. Now
is the time to list your land if you
really care to sell. Do not wait until
next spring Or summer if you want to
sell, but arrange and list now and take
advantage of having it advertised.
This is the fourteenth season that we
have SOLD land in this county and we
are the most extensively advertised
land firm in this part of the state; we
also make more sales than any other
land firm in the county. We are now
offering our service to those who want
to sell their lands.
We also have good facilities for plac-
ing first mortgage loans. W. are now
making real estate loans at 8%-no
bonus, no commission-straight %.

ARMY INSTRUCTION SCHOOL.
Oklahoma National Guard Officers
Put Through War Routine.

Guthrie, Okla, May 25.-Playing
the game of war as it is played on
the field of battle, getting ready un-
der the directions of the war depart
ment for duty at the front if neces-
sary, the officers of the Oklahoma
National Guard have been in camp
during the last ten days at Mineral
Wells Park in Guthrie for the pur-
pose of instruction. 1t was the sec
ond annual school of instruction,
held under regulations that are in
tended to place the militia on war
footing, with the officers themselves
taking the places of the priyates
and doing the actual field and camp
duties.
The camp being for the purpose
of instruction, the officers attending
must waive all questions of rank
and are required to participate upon
an equal footing in all drills, eXer-
cises and other class formations.
Eighty of the Oklahoma Guard Off
GERS attended the ten days encamp-
ment this year, with men detailed
tc lecture to the guardsmen on mat
ters pertaining to war and to IN
struct them also in the field. The
duties OF the officers included even
the cleaning of their rifles and TAX
ing care of camp. At times there
were several captains and a dozen
lieutenants, in charge of a sergeant,
marching across the country for
miles and being put through the rou-
tine of regular warfare.
Battles were fought, swamps, riV-
ers and forests were crossed; barDed
wire fences and briar patches were
encountered, long hikes along dusty
country roads were taken, positions
were shelled, heights were captured
and special work was done by the
engineering, surveying and signal
corps, and through it all the officers
were compelled to learn the game
from the ground up. And after the
officers return to their homes
Throughout. the state, still is their
work not done, for each man must
make a detailed report to his camp
commander and also to the ranking
regular in the instruction camp, his
views as to the course of instruc.

SCORES KILLED.:
HUNDREDS HURT
WHEN OVERLOADED PLATFORM
AT LONG BEACH AUDITORIUM
GIVES WAY.

Long Beach, Cal, May 25.-Over-
loaded with spectators assembled to
do honor to the memory of the late
Queen Victoria, the stage of the mu-
nicipal auditorium collapsed today
furnishing a tragic climax to EN-
pire day. Every one fell through
the floor of the big building located
on the municipal pier, and in an
instant the sand beneath the struG'
ture was covered with a writhing
bass of men and women.
Early estimates of the dead ran
as high as fifty or sixty. The in
iured, according to the police, will
number several scores.
The stage stood twenty feet above
the beach. The collapse caused ii
panic which the police could not
control. Mayor Hatch of Long Beach,
who was to have been one of the
principal speakers, was believed to
be either dead or seriously injured.
Just before the stage fell he stood
up on it beside Grand Marshal Res
tall.
Thirty five bodies have been taken
from under the pier up to Ills p. M,
according to a report made by the
chief of police.
y thousand or more persons had
crowded into the building close to
the stage and officers of the various
societies which had participated in
the parade had just ascended the
rostrum when the crash came.
When the crash came shrieks and
cries from the spectators inside
started a rush to see by those out
side the building.
For some time all efforts at rescue
were futile. The curious were jam
med so closely about the dead and
injured under the pier the police could
not get to those who needed succOr
so flying wedges were organized.
When the Los Angeles officers ar
rived a Gordon was thrown about
the place and held back the throng
while hospital attendants struggled
through the crowd with the bodies Of
dead or injured.
