jefferson Davis Highway
Convention

For some time various individ-
uals, organizations and newspa-
pers have been advocating the
building of a great thoroughfare
through Mississirpis from Mem
phis to Beauvoir. to be called the
Jefferson Davis Highway, and to
connect with roads already con-
structed in the north, so as to
form a great national highway
from Canada to the gulf coast of
Mississippi.
On Feb. II a mass meeting,
composed of representatives. from
many counties in Mississippi. was
held in Memphis to make choice
between routes proposed for the
delta and hill sections of the
state. It was determined to build
the road through the hill section.
At this time it was also decided
to hold a meeting in Grenada on
Thursday. March 2, at IL a. M,
to consider and discuss the pro-
posed hill county routes and to
agree upon a definite location.
All counties are urged to call
meetings at once, canvass their
resources and select delegates to
attend the meeting with authori-
ty to say definitely what their
individual county will do for the
enterprise in the event the road
shall be located through it.
While the road will be Of great
value to the entire state. it will
be of incalculable value to those
counties through which it will
pass snd whose important towns
lit will make more accessible.
Cost of the highway must be
borne by the counties through
which it will pass and construct
ed according to plans and specifi-
cations of the National Highway
Association. Once it is built. it
will be expected the U. S. Gov
ernment will maintain it. as it
does the Lincoln Highway from
New Yory to San Francisco.
Every citizen of Mississippi is
cordially invited to attend the
meeting. Gov. Bilbo, Lieut.. Gov.
Russell and all members Of the
legislature have been invited to
be present on the occasion. Hon.
Dan J. Morrison, President MIS-
sissippi Highway Commission,
will address, the convention.
LEND a hand and boost the JEFF.
ferson Davis Highway! Come
and bring q friend. Line up your
county TO build up its link.

FAIR ASSURED
Enthusiastic Meeting Monday--A
Premium List OF S2,VW
Guaranteed.

At well attended and enthu-
siastic mass meeting at the court
house Monday afternoon the Irl
County Fair to be held at Tupelo
next fall for Lee, Pontotoc and
Itawamba counties was launched
and put on a firm financial and
working basis.
The meeting was called to or
der by Judge J. @. Robins, who
had been elected chairman at a
previous meeting. and the object
of the meeting explained by him.
The committee appointed at the
former meeting to canvass the
city and get financial backing Tor
the enterprise, reported that they
had partially canvassed the town
and had secured more than the
required number of substantial
business men to guarantee as
much as $4,000 in premiums and
rewards. They thought that quite
q number of additional names
could be procured, and several
who were present and had not
signed the guarantee did so.
After considerable discussion
it was thought the wise and best
thing to do to appoint committee
known as the governing board,
who should be vested with full
authority and plenary power to
do any and all things necessary
TO have a first class county FAIR
next fall. On motion. l.. G. Bo-
gle. D. w. Robins and c. Il.
Strain were elected as the gov
orning beard for the fair. The
reputation of these gentlemen
for doing things and carrying
out what they undertake is a
satisfactory assurance to this
community that Tupelo will have
a first class fair. ~ 81
T. M. Milan, the county su-
perintendent, was elected secre-
tary of the governing board. and
on motion, E. C. Kinds was elect
ed to obtain further signatures
TO the guarantee. 1t was the
sense of the meeting that liberal
premiums should be offered for
live stock exhibits and agricul-
tural products, and that an at
tractive and interesting program
should be arranged. 1t was also
unanimously recommended that
an important place be given in
the fair to the Boys Pig Club,
Baby Beef Club. Corn Club and
10 the Girls Poultry and Canning
Club, and that liberal premiums
be offered for each of these clubs.
The meeting recommended that
the governing board select a
manager for each department of
the fair, and have published at
the earliest practicable date a
premium list. or catalogue, for
the fair and put it in the hands
of the farmers at once, so they
can prepare their exhibits.
The county fairs in Tennessee
and Kentucky have done won
ders in stimulating better agri-
cultural products and better ami
mal huSbandry, and now that this
fair is put on a firm financial ba-
sis, backed by more than SO. of
the most progressive and SUBJ
stantial of our business men,
there is no reason why it should
not be great success and mean
great things to our community.
Let everybody, farmers and
business men, get in behind this
movement and make it phe-
nominal success in every way.

MIDLAND DECISION
PLEASES OFFICIALS
Railroad Controversy Ends
in Pledge to Erect New
Depot Here.

Much interest was apparent at tho
ent solution of the Midland Valley de-
pot controversy reached by the city
commissi oners at their Tuesday meet
ing when Nice-I resident A. w lie
feber of the road agreed to erect a
new depot on the site of the present
structure and to Immediately begin
improvements of the line within the
city limits, which will include "a VIA
duct over Sixth.
The commissioners asked Mr.. Le-
feber to appear before them, and in
n short talk he explained that his road
was at all times eager to do its share
in improving conditions IN this city
and that engineers would be instruct
ed at once to begin making plans end
specifications for the improvements
to be made in Tulsa. which will ne
cesstate an expenditure Of at least
$4,000, according TO tho Vice-presl-
dent of the road.
The commissioners also heard re-
port read from the engineering COM
pany which is at present making a
survey Of the water conditions in this
city. 1t is expected that the final re-
port on the samples oe water which
We're sent to Kansas City recentlV for
examination will be received within a
few days. The samples We're re-
ceivcd yesterday afternoon by Com
missioner Younkman, accompanied by
a letter in which 1t was stated that
the samples being returned showed
an almost complete eliLlination of all
solids. salts and sediment, and that
the water woJld compare tnTOrably
with samples from any filtration
plant in the country.

INTERURBAN SERVICE
TO SAPULPA RUMORED

It was rumored in railroad circles
yesterday that the Frisco is consider
ing a proposition to double track its
line to Sapulpa in the immediate flu
ture and install gasoline passenger
cars between Tulsa and Sapulpa. No
official comment has been made rela-
tive to the proposition.
The rumor was further to the effect
that the move would be made to com
pete with the proposed interurban road
to be built by the Tulsa Traction
company to Sapulpa. This line will
be started In short time and will
seriously impair the Frisco passenger
service to Sapulpa.
The improvements now under way
provide for double tracks almost one
third of the way to Sapulpa and 1t Is
thought that it Is only a matter Of a
short time until the double tracks
will be extended to Sapulpa. The
plan of putting gasoline cars In serv-
ice is not held in such good repute.

Younkman and Funk Quiet
Down When Mayor Be-
comes Arbitrator.
TROUBLE OVER POLICE
Question of Appointing Po-
licemen Causes Split
in Ranks.

The controversy which developed
several days ago within the circles OF
Tulsa's city commissioners, led by
Commissioner A. l.. Funk on one side
and Commissioner c. S. Younkman on
the other was again sent down stage
at Tuesdays meeting of the body and
not until Mayor John Simmons had
stepped in and signified his intentions
as arbitrator did the matter reach
a point where onlookers felt assured
that an administration wrangle was
not within the probabilities.
At one of the recent meetings of
the commissioners Commissioner
Funk refused to accept the proffered
services and assistance Of the other
city commissioners in passing upon
the application of parties desiring to
become members of the police depart
ment.
Commissioner Younkman suggested
that some sort of a system of checking
should be inaugurated on the de-
partment. whereby the city would
know what men were members or the
department, the commissioners as a
body acting on the applications.
Took II to Heart.
This action was taken by CommiN
sioner Funk to mean that the water
commissioner sought to take hand In
affairs coming under the duties of the
executive of the fire and police de.
partment He said as much and met
with q denial from Commissioner
Younkman, the latter suggesting that
nc only sought to protect the city and
wanted all members Of the depart
ment either confirmed or removed.
Yesterday another application was
presented. But Mr.. Younkmar
baked. He would not take any part
in the deliberation of the commission
ers while the name was before the
body, and at last Mayor Simmons hat
to withdraw the name from consider
alton and placed it solely before Com
missioner Funk.
81 do not care to take hand ir
the selection of a policeman who !!
not confirmed and given the authority
which should go with the position.
Mr.. Younkman said yesterday. '1r
my opinion the men who have no
been confirmed are not fully vestet
with the authority of officers, and 1
they should meet with mishap | be
lieve we would be responsible.
The city attorney will be asked e
give a decision in this matter at thu
next meeting of the commissioners.
