CONTRACT FOR
NEW PRINCESS
THEATRE LET
STILES CONSTRUCTION COMPANY
OF CHICAGO SECURED CON-
TRACT FROM OWNERS THIS
MORNING-WORk BEGIN SOON.

This morning the Stiles construc-
ton company of Chicago who have
opened a branch office in this city
were awarded the contract for the
erection of the new Princess theatre
on west main street.
The construction company is the
one who erected the new Federal
Building here and So good does this
field look to them that they have de
cided to maintain a branch office
here.
The owners state that they hope to
have the house ready for opening
December first. The work OF demol-
ishing the buildings now on the lot
will be finished by the last of the
week and as soon as the material ar
rives the contractors will begin the
erection of what will probably be the
finest theatre in the state. The plans
call for a three story front of white
tile and buff brick and will be a thing
.of beauty. 1t will have a seating ca
pacity of 1900 with a balcony and
gallery. The stage will be of ample
dimensions to hold any large road
company or big musical organization
travelling today and it is. the inten-
ton of the owners to book some of
the best to be secured. The archi-
tects have left nothing out of their
plans and this will be one of the best
ventilated and safest theatres in the
entire state. Ample exits have been
provided for, and fire escapes will
lead from all parts of the building.

body will also appoint three more
members to act with them in laying
plans for the best manner of circulat-
ing the petition to be presented to the
board of county commissioners at the
next meeting asking that bond cleo
ton be called. w. S. Gilbert Of the
business mems association will act as
secretary to this committee.
1t is going to require some fast
work to get these petitions before the
taxpayers of the county before the
next meeting of the commissioners
and for that reason there is no time
to loose.
The meeting Friday night is ex-
pected to develop some live wire ac-
ton as the business men of the city
are almost a unit for the bonds and
want to have something to show the
county commissioners at their next

BUILD ROADS
IN A SC|EN-
T|F|C MANNER
HAP HAZARD CONSTRUCTION
HAS COST STATE TOO MUCH
ALREADY TAX PAYERS TO DE-
MAND COMPETENT MEN.

The board of county commissioners
have inaugurated the first piece of
scientific road construction in the
history Of the county, and if the tax
payers will vote the bonds for the
construction of these roads Carter
county will so soon have a system
of permanent highways that will dis
pose for all time this most veXing
question.
Recently the board employed an
engineer to make surveys of all the
roads in the county, established
grades, make plans, profiles and spec
irications, locate openings and com
pute drainage area so that they will
be in possession of record that they
can present to the authorities when
they apply for federal aid which they
may do when they nave complied
with all requirements of law All this
work will have been IN vain however
il the board of county commissioners
when they have determined upon
building a certain road turn the work
over to some incompetent construc-
tor who has but vague ideas of road
building. The work must be let to a
bonded contractor and competent
road builder, one VINO is able to fol-
low specifications ana has had ex-
perience in this branch of work and
the communities will see that these
plans are carried out
The tax payers are beginning to
realize that road building is too seri-
Gus a proposition to be made the
means OF paying political debts and
are going to insist that the work be
done by competent contractors who
are able to give a detailed account
of where every dollar of their money
has been spent. Oklahoma counties
have suffered in the past from the
lack of experience, there has been
enough money wasted on the roads
of Carter county alone to have con-
structed Macadam roads all over the
county, but instead Carter county has
the reputation at present of having
about the worst roads of any county
in the southern or eastern portion of
the state.
The business men of the city will
petition the board of county com
missioners at the next regular meet
ing and they will be required to call
a special election to vote on the ques-
tion of issuing road bonds, this move
ment is backed by the best business
men of the city and It is anticipated
that there will be no trouble in put
ting the election over.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 10.
President Wilson today de-
cided to postpone further con-
ferences with the represen-
tatives of the railroads and en-
ployes on the strike situation
until tomorrow when he will
receive a general committee of
six hundred.
In the meantime the man.
ayers and employees are con-
ferring among themselves.
The plan on which the presi-
dent is working is to put into
effect the eight-hour day and
have a federal committee in
vestigate the collateral issues.
The details of the plan have
not been worked out, but it
was said that if the railroads
conceded the eight-hour day,
the employees might be urged
to give up their demands for
time and one-half.
After speaking tomorrow to
the representatives of the en-
ployes, President Wilson may
make public his remarks to the
conferees, which would be the
first disclosure of what has
taken place.

ARE TRYING To
SOW SEEDS Of
D|SC0N TENT
REPUBLICANS AND INDEPENO-
ENTS SEEKING TO WORK UP
SENTIMENT AMONG DEFEATED
ONES IN PRIMARY.

There is a persistent rumor ahoat
that the republicans and independ-
ents, aided and abetted by the "kum-
rids," are trying to WOO the affections
of the defeated candidates in the re-
cent democratic primary and trying
to induce them to knife certain can
didates in the coming election. That
they will signally fail in their effort
is a foregone conclusion. There may
be few Of those who failed to land
who will feel sore enough about their
failure to join hands with the other
parties, but they will be so few as
to cut no figure whatever
Several of the defeated candidates
have been interviewed on this subject
and they Indignantly deny any such
intentions, saying they are democrats
and are going to work for the success
of the democratic party in the com
ing election. A close watch is going
to be kept at the coming election, and
anyone who entered the primary and
who is known to have knitted the ticket
will have a hard time ever entering
another primary election, either as a
candidate or a voter. The candidates
on the democratic ticket have little to
fear. however. They will all be elect
ed by the usual maiorities.

Bury That Carcass.

The most fruitful source in continu-
ing and spreading charbon in locality
is the charbon carcass, though any ma
terial, or agency, that may have come in
contact with the anthrax virus, espe-
cially blood, may harbor the germs and
be carrier of the disease. The car
casses of all animals that die, suddenly
or otherwise, during the summer
months should be carefully and COM
pletely burned, or buried with quick
lime AS the spores of charbon live,
from season to season, on or near, the
surface of the ground, pastures that are
known to be infected with the disease
should, where practicable, be plowed
and the surface turned under. If it is
possible the land should be drained, as
it is part of the treatment of the dis
ease to destroy, or extermlnate, the
charbon spores that remain on the
ground to give future trouble during

Drugs Going On Up to the
Blue, Blue Sky.

With the following figures in refer
ence to the rapid ascendency of the
price of drugs, as given out by a CORES
pondent from Washington on March 30,
a fellow don't feel much like complain
ing, much less getting sick outright.
Fellow-citizens, be careful about what.
you eat, and about taking cold,
The correspondent says:
Retail druggists have been informed
by circulars and trade papers, that, it
the war in Europe continues until July
I, the price of drugs will advance from
200 to 300 per cent over the present
scale.
This months listing of wholesale
prices, local pharmacists state, shows an
increase of from 200 to 1000 per cent
over prices before the war. Even at the
enormous prices, quoted, some drugs
commonly used are unobtainable.
In short, though the cost of living
may do its best, it's ascension does not
equal the high cost of illness. And the
latter item is going up, steadily up. The
prices are now from 10 to SO per cent
higher than they we're in January of this
year.
Take few of the common drugs
known to every one who has taken med
icine, and used widely, either alone or
as the base of many compounds and pre-
scriptions Here is comparison of the
present wholesale prices per pound and
those quoted before the war;
Antipyrine, $50 to $50; was So 25.
Potassium Bromide, So so; was % cents.
Potassium Ammonium, $3.50; was 40
cents.
Caffeine, SIS to $13 20; was $500,
Calomel, So 43; was so cents.
Cod liver oil (bbl(, Sl25 to $3.50; was
sls.
These are only few samples. There's
castor oil, for example, bane of the small
boy, but he should not worry now. For
castor oil is being extensively used for
lubricating machinery of aeroplanes and
machine guns. While nominal quota
tions are still given, this is practically
unobtainable, and the New York drug
gists are posted as paying as high as Sl2
a pound for this oil. Before the war it
sold for 25 cents a pound.
Not only in actual sickness, butin many
other ways that the housewife can testify
to- does the war effect the druggist bills.
When she comes to put away clothing
that needs mothballs, she will pay 20
