sults of a very successful year’s work,
which puts in harmony with the Christ-
mas spirit,
“Good Will to All.”
On motion of Mr. Cbristai and
var oualy seconded the directors of
the Chamber of Comm rce at the

order of bus n u at next Thursday’s
session. Everybody interested in the
project will be invited to be present
to take part in the discussion, it, is
expect d, and the matter will be gone
nto thoroughly and in detail. The
members of th. e board were unani-
mous in the sentiment that notu ng
possible to be obtained for Denton
la right now or morejltal import inc
than this new line under Denton and
Slidell control. Likewise they were
unanimous in the belief that there
never was a bett r time than right
row to get busy on the project. The
Fl dell recpie. it was stated, are will-
*ng and anxious right now to do
their part, and if the people of Den-
ton will only show their willingness
in tflre proper way, ft was state!, the
I line can be buht and owned here at
I home.
Secretary McCook presented his
res'gnat'on to the board, to be et-
■ fectfve as soon as his succ ssor can
be selected. Pres dent Owsley s’ated
i for the board that Mr. McCook’a
resignation was very much regretted,
but that th y woul<j not stand In the

GUTixKlE, Ok., Dec. 30.—Oklaho-
ma City'became the permanent cap-
ital of the state of Oklahoma at 8:40
o’clock last n ght when Governor C.
N. Haskell arrived in Guthrie on the
Santa Fe railroad at 8:20 from Ok-
lahoma City and s gned the two cap-
ital bills twenty minutes later in the
Santa Fe station. Oklahoma City
met the demands of t)he Governor for
$71,200 at 6:30 o'clock >ast evening,
raising that sum by subs ript ons and
signing a contract with the governor
to donate th"< money for the purposes
stipulated by h m. The governor
then took the 7:10 train out of Ok-
lahoma City for Guthrie and signed
the bill here for the reason that
Guthrie w’as the capital until the b 11
was sign'd. Governor Haskell did
not go uptown after signing the bill,
but remained 'n the Santa Fe s'ation
until a later train arrived, when he
returned to Oklahoma City.
There was a general <xit of state
off eers last night from Guthrie on
that train. Among those who went
to th e new capital on the same train
with Governor Haskell were State
Treasurer James Menefee, State La-
bo- Commissioner Cnarles Daughtr-
ty. Corporation Comm ssioner A. P.
Watson, Assistant Seer tary of State
Leo Meyer, and George Henshaw,
attorney for the corporation commis-
sion. Other officers were called up
over the t lephone and asked to join
the exodus last night, but some of
them refuse! to leave unt’l today.
Beginning today all official state
business will be conducted from Ok-
lahoma City unless r-njo ned by the
courts at the instigation of Guthrie.
S' is considered doubtful whether
any injuno’ion can be secured that
will invalidate business conducted at
Oklahoma City, as 't has been au-
thoritatively stat'd that the supreme
court will recognize Oklahoma CPy
as the defacto capital, it least pend-
ng the decision of Guthrie’s suit,
which was f led in that court a few
days ago, to have the capital loca-
tion act set aside.

the month. Mr. Murpfcy stated
Thursday that the sales of tickets up

amounted to more than $9,100 and
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, if
business continual good, might pull
th < total up to nearly $10,000.
