several years. Before entering into
a discussion relative To the dragging
of earth roads, wish to answer these
Inquiries by saying that the annual
expenditures for overhead expenses
for operating the Highway ID pHrt
ment is tedious and difficult ~ n" g.
mine. We have figured out however,
the cost of such expenditures for 1914
and 1915. In 1914 the overhead ex-
pense of the Highway Department
was about S.9T per cent of the cost
of the work. In 1915 it was about
3.93 per cent of the cost of the work
In 1916 the cost cannot yet be de-
termined because the work for the
year is not yet completed.
In addition to the above figures
should be added approximately per
cent to include the cost of engineer
ing, inspection and supervision in
each case which would make the total
cost for Il year as follows:
iva -------------l -lE.ci per cent
1915 5----------- 7.93 per cent

DYNAMITE HURTS MAN
 IN BOTTOM OF SHAFT

EAGLE. - Charles Shultz, a pros pector, while working with Frank Swanson prospecting near Rock creek, fifteen miles out from Eagle, met with a serious accident April g.. Shultz was down in a deep shaft, eighty feet, and was digging out a missed shot of dynamite. It explOd- ed and blew sand and gravel in his face and breast and blinded and in- jured otherwise. No bones were broken. It is uncertain yet about his eyesight. Shultz climbed out of the shaft, unaided, after the explosion, and was brought to Eagle yesterday, and is now at the army hospital, under the care of Dr. Tobin and two competent women nurses. Everything possible is being done to relieve his distress, but Dr. TObin is uncertain about saving the mans eyesight. Shultz is 23 years old, and German by birth.-Ex.

VALDEZ.-There is a rumor about town that the Three in One property, near Shoup Bay, has been financed by M. F. Hendrickson, who is now in New York, and that the development of this promising property will pro- ceed without interruption.
 Mir. F. J. Devinney, who has an in- terest in the property, and who has superintentended the development work already done, when questioned regarding the report, refused to either confirm or deny it. He stated, how ever, that he had put three men to work on the ground, and from this it is easy to deduce that money has been raised to go ahead with the work.-Ex.

WELCOME ODD FELLOWS.

Mayor Coffman was officially dele
gated to deliver Chickasha's welcome
to the visiting Odd Fellows, but just
to rub it in and make our distinguished
guests feel little more al home, II
possible, we hereby join in the greet
ing. We want to assure our friends
from abroad that all Chickasha stands
back of the cordial sentiments which
were SO happily conveyed to them
by the mayor and that during the re-
mainder OF the encampment il will be
the highest pleasure OF our people to
see to it that the strangers within our
gates" many OF whom are by no means
strangers, lack nothing that will minis
ter to their comfort.
Confidentially, the people of Chick
asha take much pride in doing the
hospitality act. They like to have
company come and to show their
guests a good time. Temporarily,
everything in the city belongs to the
Odd Fellows. OF course, 1t is not pre-
sumed that they will carry the whole
town away with them when they leave,
but we do expect them to go home
loaded to the guards with pleasant
memories Of their, visit among us and
with the firm conviction that Chicka-
sha is the best town of its class In
the entire country.
Chickasha welcomes the guests who
are now with us because She feels that
way about 1t and because they belong
to one Of the greatest of fraternal
orders, an organization that is ac-
complishing vast amount Of good
in the world by deeds OF charity and
by the PRONUNCIATION OF principles that
serve to bring men closer together, thus
contributing to ushering in the day
of universal brotherhood. Any order
dsynted to such high purposes as those
which are fostered by Odd Fellows,
has mission that is worth while and
deserves to be encouraged. i
