Good Crowd Attends Meet Of Trailers in
AnadarkO; After WOrdy Session Del
egales Get to Business
GRADY AND CADDO
TO MEET AT Line
Hill Road to Be Worked, Neighbois on
West are Enihused and Results
Expected to Follow

All plans for the completion Of the
Ozark Trail up to specifications IN
Grady and Caddo counties were com
pleted yesterday afternoon at good
roads meeting at Anadarko. After
listening in regulation style for few
hours to the grandiloquent utter
anees, extolling the virtues and con-
demning the faults Of Colonel Har-
vey the convention finally got down
to business and adopted resolution
favoring what is known as the Hill
Road" to Anadarko and from there
to the west line of Caddo county, the
River Road.
County Attorney Wamsley Of Caddo
county acting as chairman OF the
convention called on e. C. Burton OF
this city to explain the purpose Of
the meeting. In a few words MIR.
Burton said that the purpose Of the
meeting was to get Caddo and Grady
counties to agree to construct the
Ozark Trail as it has been laid out.
Then the fireworks began. Insinu-
ations Of the kaiser-like and dictato-
rial attitude of Chickasha men to-
ward Caddo county and Anadarko,
scathing denunciations and virulent
invectives, praises and eulogies, were
all let out in heap.
FINALLY after an hour or SO of ar
gument and discussion the resolution
was adopted. The county commits
sioners Of Grady county promised
that if some assurance was given
them that Colonel Harvey would not
change his mind again as to the To-
cation Of the trail through Caddo
county they would see that the road
was built along the route specified
in the resolution.
1t was shown during the course of
the discussion that unless some ac-
ton was taken in the near future
that the trail would be lost to both
Grady and Caddo counties. 1t seems
that Colonel Harvey had had his
mind set on putting the trail on the
southern route but had been persuad-
ed that the hill road would be more
satisfactory with the people in these
counties and he finally constened to
place the trail there provided funds
were raised and a certain specified
work done. The work has never been
