you mention as good as any part Of
this great highway. We have been
handicapped by the rains in the early
part OF the spring, then for a while
il was impossible 10 get laborers,
then the ground became so dry that
it was impossible 10 do anything.
I must admit, however, that this
piece OF road was, and is yet, very
bad. But We have opened up a new
route right along the same line by
buying right of way and building
many miles of fencing, and now have
a good road. It will be painted and
signs placed along the route by Tues
day OF next week.
The road south to Denison is good,
and ] have heard tourists say that
the road from Milburn south was the
best they had travelled. It is indeed
much pleasure to me to announce
that The road from here to Mil Greek
IS now in good shape, and We expect
to keep it that way. Our business
men have subscribed a fund payable
monthly TO keep up this line, and
the entire citizenship Of our town
and community feel very grateful to
you for what you have done for US.
We will be at Denison at the dedi.
cation Of the bridge in full force,
and hope TO meet you there.
We have lost, temporarily, one of
our best citizens and road boosters,
in W. J. Milburn, who is interested
in the Cushing oil field But we are
not going to let him remain away
very long.
With best wishes. / beg to remain,

GAMBLING LAWS
ARE APPROVED
BY THE PEOPLE
BY 4 MAJORITY APPROXiMATING
5000 VOTES THE ANTI-GAM.
BLING LAWS PASSED BY LEGls-
LATURE ARE SUSTAINED.

Oklahoma City. Aug. 25.-The two
stringent anti-gambling laws passed
by the legislature and submitted to
the people through the referendum
at the August primary have been sus-
tanned by a majority Of approximate
~ 5000 votes, according to announce.
ment of the state election board Tues.
day afternoon.
This announcement, l. is explained,
is based on an unofficial count of
complete returns from seyenty-five
counties. Returns on two counties
Nowata and Creek, are still out, but
the vote in these counties will be
insufficient TO change the result as
shown on the face OF returns from
the counties already in. according
to Secretary Joe Morris of the board
Delayed Returns.
The delay in sending in the re.
turns from Nowata and Greek coun.
ties, it is stated, is due TO the fact
that the county election board ad.
iourned before preparing the copy OF
returns on state questions, which is
to be made to the state election board
The election boards in these two
counties have been requested by Mr.
Morris to meet at the earliest time
possible and make their official re.
turns.
Just when the laws become effect.
i've is a question that no one in the
states official family would answer
definitely Tuesday. TIE general opin.
ion, however, is that e the official
count shows that the laws were sus-
tanned they become operative at the
close OF the polls on August +. Ota-

Dear Sir and Friend:
Mr.. Galloway has just handed me
your letter OF the 18th, addressed
to him, with reference to the high.
way through this county. We now
have this road almost completed and
will have all the work done and the
signs painted by the latter part OF
next week. must admit that We
have been a little slow on this prop
osition, but it has been a very tedi
Gus Job. You remember that it rain
ed in this country all the spring anC
it was impossible to do anything or
re roads, and after rains let up the
people were so busy in their crops
that We could not hire them for love
uor money. The road north OF jhi,
'own had to be built through some
very rough country or a new road
opened up. We worked some on the
rough road and finally saw that We
never could make a first-class road
Of il. and We secured a new right
Of way and opened up a new road for
nine miles north of this town We
had fences 10 build, bridges TO build
and lots Of grading to do. all Of which
is about completed and We have
men on the job every day now and
will be on the job until 1t is com
pleted, and when completed the road
through this part of the country will
be as good as the best part OF the
highway. We have spent out OF our
own pockets a little more than $1,000
and have had considerable aid from
the county. l assure you that We are
doing the best We can with this mat
ter, and that we will have this road
in fine shape when you have your
meeting in DenisOn.
We appreciate the hearty cO-opera-
ton and support you have given rs
in this matter, and assure you tha,
We are all your loyal friends.
Yours very truly,
