Wild Gun Days of Enid Okl Recounted by Principal Here
North End of Town Was
Put to Flames by
Jealous Fellow Co.,
Citizens.

ly all of the inhabitants of Pond
Creek came to Enid for the celebra-
ton. Wagons were hitched to
threshihg machines and a grand jol-
lihcation was observed. Every cor
ner of the town was decorated with
mock mail cranes and dummy mail
bags, as burlesque of conditions
that had BEEN ..
That was the beginning Of Enid
and the beginning OF the end of
North Enid. The purpose of the
railroad company in promoting the
north town as against the wishes of
the people of Enid proper, was be-
cause the company wanted to sell
its lots Public sentiment won.
North Enid today consists of a
watering station, small postoffice,
general store and few houses. while
Enid is pressing forward toward
metropolitanism. Mr.. Porter re-

A Wild Town. =.
Shortly after the birth of Enid
with trains making regular stops, the
citizens did the proper thing of en-
gaging a town marshal, as law and
order had not been on a very high
plane. Gambling and drinking were
common among many and bad
men, of the sure-shot type, found
this profitable stamping ground.
A committee of Enid citizens heard
of Texan named Williams, who
had been something of a bad man
hiself, but who was amenable to the
responsibilities of the position of
town marshal Williams creden-
tials to the committee consisted of a
gun with row Of notches, indicat-
ing the number of men he had
planted" He was the first marshal
Of Enid and he did the job while
he lasted.
While he was marshal the bad
men of the strip gave' Enid a wide
berth. because it was not long after
his installation that Williams gave a
demonstration of his ability to>shoot
without wasting ammunition. He had

NAVAL RESERVES GET 6 WEEKS

Boston, May 21.-A sixweeks
cruise for officers and men of the
Naval Reserve to Antwerp in July
on the U. S. S. Frederick, and the
annual enrolment of 10000 reserv-
lists to maintain the efficiency OF this
branch of the naval service, is part of
the programme planned by the
Bureau of Navigation, as outlined by
Navigation, as outlined by Captain H.
J. Zeigemeier, before the Reserve Of
ficers association here.
CAPTAIN Ziegemeier, after stating
that the navy personnel was at a low
ebb, declared that the one>year
Derfod of enlistment of reservists
would prove big factor in the main
tanning of an efficient naval force
ready for immediate service in case
of necessity.
Captain James P. Parker, U. S. N.
r. F., issued call for all reservists
at present on the list Of inactive
duty to report as soon as possible to
the brigade headquarters at the Navy
Yard, as division units are now being
made up for mobilization and drill
purp poses.
He further stated that the increase
in pay which is allowed under the
Naval Appropriation bill will mean
that enlisted men will receive from
$3.50 to 81 per drill.
H. '''aThe navy offers an opportunity,
and especially an opportunity to the
Naval Reserve" he said. 1.-THE cruise

neapolis, and to the present day they are using
this plan for taking care of over-crowded con

neapols, and to the present day they are using
this plan for taking care of over-crowded con-
ditions.
The situation was solved in Minneapolis by the
introduction of portable school buildings These
were frame buildings, twenty five feet in width and
fifty to sixty feet in length, which were built on
the school grounds surrounding the high school
building. The cost Of these buildings was small
and took of the over-crowded conditions until
funds could be secured to build a new building.
When new building built these portable
buildings moved to another part OF the city
where the school was crowded, thus relieving the
congestion there.
So in Bemidji the same system could be applied.
On the High school grounds five or six of these
buildings could be built to accommodate the present
over-crowded conditions, which could provide new
rooms for teachers now needed and also Tor the
new industrial departments, which would give the
Central school more room, which is now taken up
by two industrial departments. Then when the new
school is built these buildings could be moved to
the Central school, North school and East school to
relieve the crowded conditions which would be
existing at those schools by that period.
These buildings would be an asset and not
liability as would be an addition to the present High
school buildings. With these buildings the crowded
condition could be taken care Of until BemidJ1
could purchase new site and build High school
which the city would be proud Of. People in out
living towns would then be more DESTROYS OF sendlng
their children to Bemidji to be educated and thus
increase the growth and prosperity OF our CITY,

Our understanding of the proposed new buldlng
is not to interfere in any way with the Central
school as it stands, but to erect it. north OF the
present Central NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

WHAT OTHERS SAY
A POSSIBLE SOLUTION

Bemidji today II" facing the biggest problem ever
placed on her hands, and that is the question of
how to provide room for the education of her
coming citizens, especially those of the High school.
Many plans have been talked over, including the
addition to the present High school building and the
building, or starting to build new High school
building on the present Central school grounds
Both of these plans meet with serious objections.
The addition to the present High school building is
impractcable because of the poor arrangement of
halls and lighting facilities, and to make an addition
to this building would mean the remodeling of
certain parts Of the present building before the
new addition could be built Also due to the pres
ent over crowded condition. This addition would
be Immediately filled to it's capacity and the city
would again be confronted with the same PROPOSE
ton as they are today, only with an additional
$4,000 bond issue to pay up before another
building could be built
Again. in building building on the present
Central school grounds, it would take away the
Central school which is needed to educate the
grade children and which the present High school
is not large enough to accommodated it were
intended moving the Central school students to the
High school building.
The present High school is needed to accommo-
date the junior high department. which has out
grown it's present department and will soon require
the entire High school building.
The problem is large one and hard to solve.

GIVE AND 1T SHALL BE GIVEN.


There are many who seem to think that farmer
is not entitled to the same basis OF profit on MS
produce as the manufacturer in the city, or the
same interest on his investment as the banker.
1t is common opinion that the farmer cannot
possibly be entitled to as much per hour for his
labor as the mechanic, the plasterer, electrician or
plumber. And why not? Certainly not because ne
does not have to serve his apprenticeship in learn
ing his trade not because his produce is luxury
and therefore his labor not essential as his city
brothers; not because he does not work faithfully
for his return. No, it cannot be so. One basis
of wages, set of working hours, one percentage
of profit cannot be maintained for one class OF
aborers or tradesmen and lesser scale in another
industry requiring equal skill and application
The farmer plants his seed and cutivates his
ground, leaving the rest to Him who sendeth the

come the sunshns and rain but the grasshopper and

but the workman gets his wages in full and in

Series of impacts Being Conducted al Arlington to Determine Impact

 nent Of AgrIcuitureD
 To determine the destructive effect et heavily loaded auto trucks on high ~ays and streets, and to meet the de maud for data on the design of road ar'aces and foundations to withstand saeh heavy traffic, q series of eXperi- mants is being conducted by the bu- feau of public roads at the Arlington experiment farm to determine the im- pact of auto trucks on roads.
 The most striking single develop ment in the highway field in 1918 was the tremendous increase in motor truck traffic. Five years ago heavy me,or trucks were few in number and limited practically entirely to the paved streets of larger cities. These vehicles now comprise probably 1 to , per cent of the grand total of all motor vehicles and are to be found wherever traffic conditions permit profitable use. But very few roads ' ere designed to carry any large vol ume of this class of traffic. Conse- quently, the cost of adequate main- tenance was increased greatly during the year. In many places the damage due to the incessant pounding of these fast and heavy vehicles was so great as to require complete reconstruction.
