The
Bonds Have at Last Been Sold, and the Ac*
tual Construction Is Expected to Begin
in Three or Four Weeks.
From the Oklahoma City Times-Journal. Saturday, Oct. 2:
"Mr. H. Overholser returned from St. Louis last night beaming
with good will and good wishes for everybody, for he was able to
announce that the uncertainty in the construction «>1 the Sapulpa
was a thing of the past, the bond
sci'ibe for the whole issue. There has been the usual delay, for
men do not invest a million and a half dollars without tirst making
a thorough investigation. Four times was the line gone over by
experts before the bond men would agree to subscribe. Every
detail of the incorporation, organization, and subsequent history
of the company had to be gone over by corporation attorneys. All j
this took time. But all those details are things of the past now, j
and the only delay'now will be occasioned by getting ready for the ,
actual work- waiting for the signing of the bonds, and for the
getting together of grading outfits. It will require some time,
perhaps four weeks, t o get ready for grading.
"Messrs. Jones and Overholser, upon their return to St. Louis
this last time, found the Guthrie delegation again on the ground,
not to secure the road, but to prevent the balding of it to any
town. They were told by the Frisco people that it was useless
to discuss their proposition, that there whs every reason to believe
that the St. Louis and Oklahoma City Railroad Company would be
able to build, and that, should they do so, the Frisco would enter
into traffic arrangements with them.
"The bond attorney was in New York last month and presented
the proposition, but there were changes suggested, and he was
obliged to return to St. Louis to make the suggested changes.
His mission was accomplished he is again in New York to close
the deal.
"It has been a long, hard pull, but we ve got it now.

A farmer who was in town
Monday said that one reason
why our Oklahoma cotton brings
no higher price is 1 hat it has been
deliberately graded down and
its quality misrepresented by
ihe representatives of other!
cot ton-growing slates who feared
Oklahoma as a rival. He said j
that>Texas cotton growers sent
men up here the tirst year that
! we raised any cotton, and they
took care that the Oklahoma!
product should not be allowed to
rank above the Texas staple
though it was unquestionably of
abetter quality. He suggests
that the cotton growers should
form an organization to protect
their mutual interests and secure
among other things, a fair grad- j
ling of their cotton.

A good deal of cotton is being
raised this year in the Creek
count ry in places where it was
never tried before. The result
is that in neighborhoods where
the Indians were idle before they
are now picking cotton, and hun
dreds of dollars are being dis-
tributed among them, to say
nothing of the profits of the
planters.

49 YEARS THE STANDARD.
Quite a number of farmers
have hauled their cotton to Guth-
rie and Shawnee lately, not be-
lieving that they could sell to
advantage here at home, and
have sold it when they "reached
the railroad for 10 or 15 cents
less on the hundred than they
were offered in Chandler before
they started. Of course they
had to pay the expense of the
trip and lose several days time
at a very busy season all for
nothing.
