HARVEY IS
PLANNING
MORE ROAD
From Oklahoma City to El PasO; Two
Routes Proposed; Wants Meet
AnadarkO and ChiCkasha

In addition to the well known sys
tenn of highways with which his name
is connected, Col w H. Harvey head
of the Ozark Trails association, is
now planning to promote another
road in which Chickasha is interest
ed, according to a letter just receiv-
ed by e. c. Burton, president of the
Grady County Highway association.
From headquarters at Chanute, Kans.,
Col Harvey writes as follows:
1--WE are going to promote a road
from Oklahoma City to El Paso on
the Mexican border via Lawton. Two
routes are now actively getting ready
for us between Lawton and El Paso.
/ will leave here about February 1 to
spend the month of February on
these routes in Texas and in going
and coming | would like to meet with
the committees and county commits
sioners at Anadarko and Chickasha.
"If this road is routed by Chicka-
sha the road via Cement, possibly,
would be preferred by Chickasha and
this is something that you might con
slider in laying your plans for 1918
A great deal Of work is needed on the
Cement road ! came over it on my
return from Lawton recently and a
fill about two miles this side of Ce-
ment is so narrow that l felt as il
we were going over it. l will give
you notice of my coming"
In regard to the referendum on the
Ozark Trail routes, Col. Harvey
writes to Mr.. Burton as follows:
you will note that it is a referen-
1um to the membership interested.
If defeated, there will be but one
route marked If it carries, we will
10 as indicated in our bulletin
which will give Chickasha two mark
I'D roads, one from Oklahoma City
and the other on the Shawnee-Nor- |
man road. But what l am more in
terested , in is getting the roads
made"

ALL KINDS
PARK SITES
SUBMITTED
Offers Ranging Up 10 $500 an Acre;
Mayor FaVOrs Separate Park
for Negroes

Offers for park sites ranging in
price from hundred to three hun
dred dollars an acre are coming in
to Mayor Coffman's office every day
Ike Harness is offering the eighty
acres which he owns and which is To-
Gated just south of the Country club.
1t is understood that Mr.. Harness is
asking about $100 an acre for this
land and that he has asked the park
board to look over the ground before
he makes definite offer
The place is not looked upon with
favor as yet, the mayor stated, be-
cause it is so far from the carine
and there are no trees on the land
that will help to make the place a
natural park ground.
Mrs. Mumford has offered her Land
just west of the college grounds for
park purposes and places a price Of
5000 an acre ON the same. This
ground had not been looked over the
Mayor said this morning but the com
mittee would visit the location some
time before the next meeting of the
city council
Mayor Coffman introduced a new
phase into the park proposition this
when he stated that he was
in favor of providing a separate park
for the negroes 81 want to say right
now" the mayor said, that l am in
favor of setting aside certain
of ground in the southeast
part of the city somewhere for a park
for the negroes and in this way keep
them from the white people and
avoid future trouble.
III we provide for city park and
fair grounds we do not want it to be
a breeding place for trouble as it is
almost sure to be if we let the me-
groes and white use the same park.
If we provide the. two parks we can
pass some sort of an ordinance pro-
hibiting the negroes from going to
the whites park and if a white man
Is caught in the negroes park for
other than business purposes then
he should be beat up a little," the
mayor said.

BY United Press.

By United Press.
London, Jan .5.--"The destruction
and disruption of Germany has new
er been our aim" Premier Lloyd
George declared In another "war
aims" speech delivered before the
British laborite conference. He de-
clared that democratic constitution
for Germany would be the most con-
vincing evidence that the spirit of
military domination had died and 1t
would make it easier for the opening
OF democratic peace negotiations.
He said this was the question for
Germany and also stated that the al
lies are not fighting to destroy Aus
tria-Hungary nor to deprive Turkey
of the capital OF her rich lands
He called attention to the fact that
1t had been year since President
Wilson asked the belligerents why
they were fighting and that an an
swer had never been received from
the Central Powers He said the al
lies requiremnets are the restoration
of Belgium and the reparation as far
as possible of all the devastated
towns and lands.

Given Commissions.

Trainmasters l.. M. Shipley
and A. R. Woods, of this city,
returned Tuesday from Los An
geles, where they had been called
last week by an order from the
war department to take another
examination. Both gentlemen
have been accepted for railroad
work in France, the former to
receive a captains commission,
and the other to be first lieuten-
ant. They have been ordered to
report to Camp Lee in Virginia
next week for a months pre-
liminary instruction, and then
they will be sent to Fort Leaven-
worth to be assigned to the 31st
Engineers Corps, and from there
will be sent to France. If the
switching facilities are not i'm
proved in France over present
conditions, it will probably be
the duty of these two officers to
go out in the railroad yards to
push the cars around to make up
a train. Perhaps that is the
reason the government are pick
ing out the big husky fellows for
duty abroad. But there is one
thing that we can all depend
upon, and that is neither Shipiey
or Woods will shirk any of their
duties whatever they may be.

Red Cross Drive.

This is the week set aside in
the United States to raise a fund
of 500, 000, 900 for the American
Red Cross for the relief to SOL
diers at the front and the war
refugees in the battle-torn coun-
tries of the allies. A committee
of ladies are campaigning Win
slow to raise our proportion of
this fund, and it will take a
unanimous and liberal response
from all our people to meet the
demand. If every one would
take the time to investigate the
great work this society is doing
in France, to say nothing of its.
humanitarian ministrations in
other fields, there would be no
hesitancy in giving literally to
the cause.
1t is little enough to give when
we give of our money, and every
dollar given to this war fund
goes to the relief of the soldiers
who are willing to sacrifice their
lives that our liberties may not
perish. Just mediate for a min
ute, when you are asked to con-
tribute to the fund. on the hard
ships and dangers of the boys in
the trenches, and remember some
of our own boys are over there,
and will soon be among those in
the thick of the fight, if they are
not already there; and some will
never come back, and others will
he wounded, or stricken with
disease. If we knew a Winslow
boy was i'll or wounded in that
far-off land, is there man in
this town who claims to be a
loyal American citizen, who
would not cheerfuly give $25 to
have the boy under the care of a
Red Cross nurse? Think of these
things when you are asked to
give, and your heart will tell you
to put the one dollar you intend
ed to give back in your pocket,
and give SIS or $40.

Railroading in France.

For the information of our rail-
road boys we publish a portion
of letter the editor has just re-
ceived from his son, now with
the forces in France. After de-
scribing the peculiar dress of the
people in that country he says:
Next to the dress Of the natives,
the trains excited most comment.
The cars are tiny affairs. Two
of them could be put in one of
our box cars. They ride on
leaf springs, such as we have
on farm wagons, and they are
coupled together with chains.
Only passenger trains have air
brakes. The freight trains have
no caboose, but on one end of
each car there are cubby-h holes
for the crew. The capacity of
the freight cars is from 10 to 20
tons. Instead of switch engines,
they move cars in the yard by
hand, or with the aid of wind
lasses. Can you imagine them
cleaning out the Winslow yards
by hand?"
