Fifteen Years Ago.

The Oklahoma City Times runs each
day a bit of news which was publish
ed in that paper twenty, fifteen and
ten years ago. Under the head Of
news published fifteen years ago, it
gives a brief story of the sale of the
big gusher at Beaumont by David r.
Beatty. Mr. Beatty still lives IN
Houston. He is the owner of the
Beatty building in that city and much
other property. He purchased inter
ests in the early days at Healdton,
and was associated with J. f. Cros-
bic. He has been here number OF
times, and is known to many of the
local producers.
Here is the story, as told in The
Times of fifteen years ago:
Everybody has read of the Beatty
gusher near Beaumont the biggest oil
well in the world. Until last week ii
was the property of d. r. Beatty,
an early Oklahoma City resident. Last
week the owner, Beatty, sold it TO
Robert l.. Henry of Chicago for ST.
250,OO0 cash. Beatty made the race
into Oklahoma City and staked the
lot where the Hub clothing store is
now located but later sold it and
moved to Perry at the opening of
the strip. where he resided at the
time of the striking of the gusher."

DANGERS OF LRAFT.

Drafts feel best when we are hot and
perspiring, just when they are most
dangerous and the result is neuralgia,
Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles or sometimes
an attack of rheumatism. In such cases
apply Sloan's Liniment. 1t stimulates
circulation to the sore and painful
part. The blood flows freely and in a
short time the stiffness and pain leave.
Those suffering from neuralgia or
neuralgia headache will find one or
two applications OF Sloan's Liniment
will give grateful relief. The agonizing
pain gives way to a tingling sensation
OF comfort and warmth and quiet rest
and sleep is possible. Good for neuri-
tis, too. Price 25c, at your druggist

Telephones Put Out Of Commission

When the temperature over the val.
ley fell to the freezing point Tuesday
night, the mixed rain and snow prevail
ing began to freeze on trees and tele-
phone wires, and apple growers were
alarmed lest a disastrous silver thaw
would take toll of trees. While but
title damage was reported by fruit
growers, the elements caused material
damage to the Oregon-Washington Tel
ephone Co., the lines extending to Dee
and the Upper Valley having been put
entirely out of commission. The freeze
caused wires to break and trees.
weighted down by the icy formation,
we're caused to fall on and demolish

EXCLUSION VOTE WILL
PRECIPITATE SCRAP

AS result of Tuesdays city election
| when Hood River residents voted al
most unanimously to exclude from the
city limits a section lying east of Hood
river, expensive, of maintenance. the
county court will endeavor to offset the
action by excluding the city from an
apportionment of road taxes the CON-
ing year.
To sidestep the law, which provides
that road districts be apportioned 20
per cent of the general road fund raised
on property within the district, the
court has provided in its budget for no
general road fund. As special road
district the city would be PERMITTED to
claim its proportion of general road
levy. Money needed for highway main
tenance and improvement will be raised
under the general fund, on which the
city can make no claim.
An effort will be made at the budget
meeting, set by the court for Decem-
Der 28. to have the general road funds
raised according to usual procedure.
The county courts action, however,
will be upheld by an element of valley
citizens, and the approaching budget
meeting bids fair to be one of the
warmest in the history of the county.
The steel bridge and East Side grade,
forming the bone of contention, was
taken over by the city 10 years ago,
when Hood River county was still
part of Wasco county. The councils
action was impelled by desire to Sc
cure approximately $500. which had
been illegally raised in road assess
ments from the city. but which the
Wasco county court refused to return
unless the city took over the bridge
connecting the city with the East Side
orchards.
Within a few days after the bridge
was taken over a freshet destroyed it.
The expense of replacing it was IS, 600.
Since the city has had jurisdiction over
the territory excluded by Tuesdays
vote, it has expended some SIS. 900 in
construction and maintenance.
