STIRRING UP INTEREST IN THE RAILROAD Enthusiastic Meetings Held in Floris and Lorena Tuesday and Wednesday Evenings Citizens in Attendance Railroad meetings, have been held in Floris and Lorena this week to see what the sentiment is down that way relative to building the proposed line of railway from Liberal to Forgan, via Lorena and Floris. At both places the meetings were well attended by the people of each community and sentiment seems strongly in favor of the proposed line.

At Floris Tuesday night three cars took Liberal business meen down to assist in discussing the matter. In the party was Mr. Byers, who proposes to build the line, and President Magruder of the Liberal Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Magruder presided over the meeting.

Mr. Byers gave a very fair and interesting talk on how he proposed to build the line and in every way seemed to be a man of earnest purpose. He outlined how he had built other lines of railroad in other places and how easily the matter was arranged to a successful conclusion. In Oklahoma it is not possible to, build a railroad by voting bonds, because of state laws but they can build the line by assessing each farm on each side of the track a certain per cent. It was talked at the meeting that something like $2 per acre for the first mile of two out on each side, then $1 per acre for the next mile or two and then 50 cents per acre for farms farther out.

This would easily provide the necessary, funds for construction and would be payable. in a in EYE FOR EYE term of years which would make the load easily handled and at the same time give the county the railroad. A committee was appointed at Floris consisting of Dr. Messersmith, John H. Smith and W.

J. Harlow. These men later added a number of other citizens to the committee and will have their meeting tonight to take preliminary steps in securing the necessary pledges. At Lorena another good meeting was held last night attended by Ray Millman, Perry Eaton, Ralph Summers, Lee Larrabee and E. D.

Cooper. Mr. Byers was also present at this meeting and made another good address to' the crowd present. At Lorena there is the usual sentiment in favor of the proposed line. A committee consisting of John.

Smith D. E. Reeves and Frank Wheeler waf appointed to canvas the situation and this committee and interested will have a meeting tomorrow, (Friday) night to take up active work in the proposed improvement. Owing to the different plans necessary to building roads in this county and Beaver county, because of different state. laws it is impossible to say at this time just what success the proposed road will meet with but it looks like the matter will be safely gotten past.

Most of the farmers in Beaver county are for the road and with them boosting actively it is a safe prediction that the road will be built. Sunday School Convention at Wideawake The Sunday School Convention which was held at Wideawake last Sunday well attended, there being seating room for only about half the audience. A splendid prowas given and the. big basket gram dinner was enjoyed by all. A number of Liberal people appeared on the program, Rev.

Wolfe gave a helpful address on "The Call of the to the Sunday Schools." Harry Sharpe handled Young Man Problem and Bert Dubois, the Graded Lessons. Miss Laura Malone spoke on the Sunday School ministering to the Spiritual Life and H. G. Armstrong on its ministry to the mental development. Other instructive talks were given and the entire meeting was a very beneficial one to Sunday School workers.
