Some of the conditions embodied in the. bill were that the line must be constructâ€" ed through the hills along a route which‘ it would be impossible for a railroad to follow, that white help should not be employed in its conâ€" struction and that habitations should be avoided t.ghl:s'nn the danger from lightning to Cherokees‘ homes and stock. I f nbare Some years later an exchange was established at Tablequah, the first in the state, and an ‘Indian was placed in charge. His‘fathers had used the signal smoke to carry messages, afar, but now the Indians use the electric spark and the white man‘s harness. The signal smoke fire is no more, And the Indian, once the most taciturn of all races, through the use of the teleâ€" phone, has become, if not garrulous, at least fluent in speech. From the ‘start the Cherokee teleâ€" phone was a suc¢ess. When the Inâ€" dians assembled to "see the wire talk" and found that it could do so not only in English, but in Cherokee as well, their enthusiasm was unâ€" bounded.. The soft gutturals of the Cheroke tongue were found to be the easiest of any language spoken in the southwest to transmit over the telephone, their musical tones being free from any harsh notes. ~ . Today, Oklahomahas over 250,000 telephones, one for every nine of the inhabitants. In fact, thqe are more telephones in Oklahoma than there are in Italy, Hungary, and Portugal combined. s i USE QOF ENVELOPES + * â€"FOR AIR MAILING Directions Show That Ordinary Type O.

This may be shown by placing the words ‘via air mail‘ in the upper right hand portion of the envelope immediately below the space reserved for stamps.

"These lines may be placed on the enyelope with an irdinary blue penâ€" cil, or, if desired, ‘printed thereon in blue ink.

Chicago‘s increase over 1923 was 85 per cent and the state‘s 18 per cent. Actual congtruction, however, did not appear to keep up with the demand. ~Fiftyâ€"five per cent of all construcâ€" tion was constituted by residential buildings; .14 per cent by . public works ali:l utilities; 18; per cent for commercial buildings; 5 per cent by induntri:L buildings; 4 per cent by educational â€" buildings. â€" Residential buildings composed 64 per cent of all construction in Chicago.
