RIVER NEWS

Local rivermen predict that the
ONO will reach fully 20 feet al this
point within the next few DAYS: some
say that 25-fOot stage NAV be ey.
pected on the present rise.
All the rivers above have been ris-
ing since Sunday and were coming IN
slowly late last night. There was a
stage OF 10 feet at the local wharf
early this morning. and rising a little
more than an inch an hour. II il
probable that the predicted cold
weather for to-day will check the rise
very materially. There Is not the
least indication OF unusually high
water on the present rise. unless
heavy rains should fall for the next
two or three days at the headwaters.
which is not at all probable. due TO
The cold snap.
The Dorena. from Pittsburgh. for
farkersburg, arrived late last night.
The hanawha, from the Smoky CITY.
ior charleston, is due about midnight
tonight. The Liberty is in her regu.
lar wheeling Matamoras trade. Sine
cleared the local wharf yesterday at
ii a. m, with a good cargo.
There are few tow boats out. Little
coal Is In the Pittsburgh harbor al
present for shipment. while nearly all
the empties have been returned 10

POSTOFFICE SUB-STATION
AT SMITHS LANDING

Postmaster Obert has made numer-
Gus improvements in the service at
the local office during his incumbency,
and now he that or May 16
there will be opened Satisfaction No.
l at H. Boyer Smiths store. This is
where the Smiths Landing postoffice
was located, but this is not a re-es-
tablishment of the old office. This
should prove a great boon to residents
of the lower section of town, and
should the experiment prove success
full sub-stations in other sections of
the city will follow.
The receipts of the Pleasantville Of
flee continue to show a gratifying in
crease, the total for March being
$881.47 as against $567.27 in the same
month last year.. The quarter ending
Mar. 31st, 1915, produced receipts of
S2eo6.16 corresponding quarter, 1914,
$1967.04. The figures for April are
not yet available, but while this is al
ways one of the slowest months in
the year, this April will show a graf
flying increase over last April. Should
the same ratio of increase be main
tanned throughout the year, there is
no question that the total receipts will
exceed the $4,000 mark and entitle
US to the full city delivery of mail.
Let the good work continue.

EXHIBIT FOR
OKLAH D MA
STATE FAIR
II ONE is SENT, THE CITIZENS
WILL HAVE TO COLLECT THE
MATERIAL AND RAISE THE NEG
ESSERY FUNDS.

II Carter county has an exhibit at
the Oklahoma State Fair this fall, il
is going 70 be up TO the citizens Of
the city 10 raise the necessary fund
for this purpose as the county com
mlssioners when they killed the free
fair bill recently put it out nj the
question TO appropriate the 800 pro
yided for in the bill for taking the
county exhibit TO the state fair.
Secretary West stated this morn
ing that he was going to make an ef-
fort to have a creditable showing at
Oklahoma City as in the past, but it
looked az If those directly interested
in the matter would have to raise
the funds to do the work and collect
the exhibit.
The exhibits that have heretofore
been shown at the state fair have at
tracted very favorable comment, and
not only at the state fair but at the
new state fair at Muskogee and at
the Wichita exposition where it was
taken last year and was the means
Of some very favorable advertising for
Carter county. This will not be pos
sible this year from the fair fund as
provided in the free fair bill, from the
fact that it was passed upon unfa-
yorably by the board Of county com
missioners, and If the exhibit goes, it
will have to be financed by the cit
izens Of the city.
