Proclamation

Twenty-six years ago, as by magic,
there sprung up in these regions a
Community of Pioneers that was
destined to become, and which has
since become one Of the foremost sec
tions in the United States OF America.
And whereas, those pioneers have
transformed virgin prairies, untouched
woodlands, hidden mines, undlscover-
ed oil wells and innumerabe latent
other resources into yeritable hives of
industry;
And whereas, further il is fitting
that periodically we remind ourselves
of these marvellous achievements and
thereby Increase our interest and en-
thusiasm for and in behalf of still
further, larger and more important de-
yelopments; that we celebrate the day
on which this state had such an aus
picious beginning.
Now therefore /, j. f. Nissley, Mayor
of the City OF Guthrie, Oklahoma, 90
hereby suggest that on Thursday,
April 22nd, 1915, all our people join in
commemorating the IN
cidents and scenes as enacted on the
"Opening Day" April 22nd, 1889, by
the cessation from labor as much as
Is possible, by wholesome recreation
and by any and all other orderly OBJ
