Dallas Silent on Real People’s Dam Course
A Dallas professor O Neal who offered a mail course for Anadarko’s “real” people fails to deliver lessons for two weeks. Meanwhile a real dam is being built by J M Smith of Amburnen Hydraulic Construction Co in Boston. Oklahoma ads push O Neal Engineering Co method claims as Anadarko awaits the promised insight. Special dispatch from Guthrie notes McIntosh County treasurer W T Miller seeking attorney general opinion on county treasurer term expiration. Attorney General Westie says expiration is the second Monday of January 1911 per the constitution, with legislature able to change afterward.
