Bets Kerr Can't Row Canadian River Challenge
Oklahoma City oilman bets $100 that Senator Robert S Kerr cannot row about 20 miles from Oklahoma City to Harrah along the Canadian River in under 24 hours, except after floods. Kerr proposes making the river navigable and discusses the plan at a chamber forum. Wells questions feasibility, noting waterless stretches except after heavy rains when the river is only 10 feet wide and nine inches deep. He argues a four lane highway to Houston would be cheaper.
