OK THE CONDITION OF THE
Congresstnnn Bede says since his
visit to Oklahoma he felt prouder
than ever of his vote to bring the
new state into the union. "I think
there was never such a state admit-
ted to the Union ia the whole his-
tory of our country as Oklahoma,
he said. "It is remarkable for a
new country—opened up only
seventeen years ago. Do you know
that the cotton crop of Oklahoma
for the past year would have paid
the entire amount to France by the
United States for the whole terri-
tory of Louisiana. And corn grows
right alongside of cotton.
"The two kings—King Cotton,
and King Corn, reign supreme in
the same commonwealth; no won-
der there are political troubles and
I take it they are having them
down there. Of course for the
next year or two they will talk
nothing but politics there but after
that when they get the new state
running right they will get down
to business.

The
The Santa Fe surveyors run a
line through Woodward last week,
on which the road will be built for
the purpose of making the Wood-
ward cut off which will be made
preparatory to shaping the Pan
Handle route for the main line to
the coast.
This survey runs through the
south portion of the town and will
necessitate a new depot and yards.
The work of converting this into
the main line is progressing as
rapidly as is possible for such a
large undertaking, but there are a
number of short cut-offs yet to be
constructed one ol which is sur-
veyed from the Cimmarron bridge
at Waynoka, following Quinlan
creek and joining the old track at j
some point east of this city.
It is estimated that the towns ■
along the lines will be benefited to j
a great extent by getting this main
line.
Cimmarron Bridge Out
No. 201, east bound express was
annulled Tuesday morning on ac-
count of two bents of the bridge
over the Cimarron river being
washed out by high water. No. j
2p2, west bouftd, only got as far as j
Waynoka and 201 remained in j
W°odward.
As no train could be run we were j
without mail service for several j
hours.

A Broom Factory
There is such a great amount of
broom corn marketed in Moore-
land each season that people won-
der and remark why some enter-
prising person or company does
not put iu a broom factory here.
Hundreds of cars will be required
to haul the broom corn out of this
county this year and Mooreland
1 gets her share.
The brush is of the finest quality
iu the world and the quantity is
sufficient to supply material for the
largest factory in the world. The
talk of a broom factory has been
so strong lately that we expect to
see it materialize very soon. Such
an enterprise would mean much
for the town and a fortune for the
promo ters. ^

Delegates to the Dis-
trict Convention
Saturday evening about seven
o'clock a west bound freight train
went through the track about 2%
miles west of this city and five cars
were piled up, two others derailed
and quite a stretch of track was
torn up. The engine remained on
the track and as the wrecked cars
were about the middle of the train
the cause of the accident *is laid to
spreading rails.
Trains could not pass for several
hours until a track was built a-
round the wreck.
Nearly everybody in town went
to the scene Sunday and saw
cars and trucks piled up in all
conceivable manners; twisted rails
and broken ties.
It was fortunate that 110 one was
riding on that part of the train,
consequently no one was hurt.

Mooreland may get Experi-
ment* Station
That there will eventually be four
auxiliary agricultural experiment
stations inOklahoma is the opinion
expressed by John Field, for sev-
eral years director of the Okla-
homa experiment station, who re-
signed recently, effective Septem-
ber 1. The plan of a seoond ex-
periment station for western Okla-
homa where the climate and soil
are essentially different from the
eastern part, has several times been
proposed,and has been so generally
taken up by farmers* organizations
over the territory, that there seems
to be little doubt that the first
legislature of the new state will es-
tablish such a station in either
Woods or Woodward county. Mr.
Field thinks that there is need for
more than one additional station at
the present time.
In regard to the suggestion that
the old Fort Supply reservation
should be used as a site for one of
these stations, Mr. Field says that
it should be used only in case the
soil on the reservation is represen-
tative of what is to be found in
that portion of the new state.
This would be a good deal for
the Commercial Club of this town
to work on, and Mooreland has an
excellent chance to get a station as
the soil is about the average of the
western part of the new state,
