Dr. C. 1). Voorhees, recently of
Sonestown, decided to remove
to < >klahoma to practice, and scorn
ing the puny aid of the railroads,
he loaded his family into an auto
mobile and made the trip over land,
jogging along at a comfortable gait,
stopping for a day when he was
tired, and covering the lli!)7 miles
in three days less than a month.
Incidcntlly, he thought that if he
discovered a place that he liked, he
would locate before he got to the
new state. Letters received by
friends convoy the intelligence that
he is well pleased with his new lo
cation. and will not return east.
