A dispatch from Guthrie this morn-
ing: ha- the following interesting
news:
After several years of waiting the
much talked-of interurban to Oklaho-
ma City, is not only to be built, but
more than that, the line is to extend
to Norman.
Information was received in this
city late last night to the effect from
John \\. Shartel, of the Oklahoma
City Street Railway company, after
a long conference with II. M. Daugh-
crty, a capitalist of Columbus, Ohio, j
This conference was held at St j
Louis, and was an agreement be-
tween the two men. Messrs. Daugh-

________——1~———— j City several weeks ago, and after '
' looking over both cities, decided that |
an interurban would he quite the !
thing, but because the Oklahoma \
City company was at that time con- j
sidering strongly of entering this city
on its own tracks, which they were ;
to lay with their own capital, the gen- |
tlemen returned east, but with a de-
sire to have the proposed road be
tween the cities.
As soon as it was decided that the
Oklahoma City company would not
build on their own capital, on ac-
j count of other expenses, Mr. Shartel
j left for St. Louis, where a meeting
had been arranged for and the con
struction of the line is the result.
It i- thought that a big power
house will be constructed in or near
this city which will, in conjunction
with one at Oklahoma City and one
at Norman, furnish the power for the
line and the street railways

tract was rejected. The city never had
a contract iwth the paving company.
The Cleveland-Trinidad Paving Com-
1 pany's bid for paving was accepted.
The engineers drew up a contrnc: for
hte city to enter into with the pav
,ing company Thr.t contract was up
for consideration at se/era! council
meetings. The city attorney i?rious
ly objected to it; the citizens of Nor
man who were to be effected by the
paving objected to it. The attorney
for the paving company firui /, mov-
ed by the storming against the con-
. tract, and apparently not being will-
ing to engage in the controversy any
i longer, withdrew his bid, and reliev-
ed the city from further obligations
to his company. This the council
promptly accepted But this did not
cancel the Earl contract,
same still stands.

Company because in the paying con-
tract supposed to have been drawn
up by them there was an additional
tour per cent inserted, giving M. A.
Earl & Company in reality 8 percent
tor the work, showing that someone
was attempting to gull the city. As
enginers, that someone, it looks to
us like, was M. A. Earl & Company.
Besides all this, the specifications
and the contract were especially fa-
vorable to the paving company in-
stead of to the city as it should have
been.
