Bryan County Shows Gain of 1,7O5
Children of School Age Over the
Last Census More Than Year Ago.

County Superintendent Neely has
the scholastic census of Bryan coun-

most healthy and substantial gain.
The figures show that there are 49,
966 school children in Bryan county
between the ages of six and 21 years.
an Increase of 1,795 over the pre-
vious year, which is remarkable
showing. Bryan county ranks fifth

Will only be a few years until this
county will lead the state.

DEPOT ORDER TO BE SIGNED.
Corporation Commission Advises
That Order VIII be Made Soon
as Specifications Arrive.

If the Oklahoma corporation car
ries out its intentions. an order will
be made to the Katy, Frisco and NJ.
o. & G.. within a short time, to be-
gin building a depot in Durant that
will meet the demands of the travel
ling public. In letter to City At
torney Kyle, Commissioner Henshaw
advises that just as soon as blue
prints and specifications are received
the commissioned will sign its order
for the depot The plans accepted
are those of Jewell Hicks of this
city, and were accepted from pro-
files submitted to the commission
some time ago. Immediately follow
ing the depot hearing held in this
city.
After the commission makes its
order, there are just two things fer
the railroad companies to do-build
the depot or appeal to the supreme
court. The Katy and Frisco appear
to be agreeable to the plans pro-
posed, and it is thought that no fur
ther opposition to the erection of the
depot is to be expected from them.
The M. o. & G. however. is holding
back on two scores. one the fact. as
they claim. that the proposed depot
does not properly care for their
road, and the other is that they have
not the money necessary to pay their
part of the expenses.
The commission also advises that
It will not be necessary for repre-
sentatives from this city to appear at
the telephone hearing, which is to
be held on the 10th of this month.
