Tuesday, April 5, 1910, Sapulpa Evening Light: Citizens of the Town Appeal for Plenty of Water
“Thirty of the most prominent citizens from the Southwest part of the city, including among others ex-judge Wade S. Standfield and Senator Clarence Davis, made a vigorous appeal for municipal improvements in that part of the city before the city council last night. Especially did they urge the extension of water mains and sewers. ‘An adequate supply of good, pure water is one of the greatest needs of this city,’ said Senator Davis, ‘and I trust that this council will early know this fact.’ ‘It is but right and just that we residents of that section one of the garden spots of the city should receive early recognition along municipal lines,’ said Judge Stanfield.”

“About sixty members of the local lodge of the Loyal Order of Moose visited Tulsa last evening and today they report having had a good time. The Frisco gave the bays a special car which they adorned with a big streamer on which was lettered the following: ‘P. A. P. Sapulpa 295-500 Strong.’ Arriving in Tulsa the boys were escorted to the lodge hall of the order. About 8 o’clock a procession was formed and the main streets were paraded the object being to show Tulsans some idea of the strength of the order. A band headed the procession. This was followed by the officers and drill team in regalia and then came the Sapulpa and Tulsa lodges. After the parade a dance followed at the hall and the guests were served with a luncheon.”
