Krnm in reply from Frank McKilllpr
of Doaver presidont of mid railroad
company nil) explain tho railroad
building situation to the people Inter
cited probably better than anything
else that we could givo them at this
time. The promoter of the road are
willing to inako any ligltimatu conces-
sion fli order to secure the early com-
pletion of the road and their agree
ment at this time to tako up the bills
of lading for tho rails as they arrive "a
another evidence on their part that
they ore ready and willing to do the
right thing. Vo bolieve that wo can
confidently say that material will be
on the ground for tho complntion of
the road within another two ueeks.
The letter referred to and telegram
follow:
Kansas City Mo.. July 23 1DM
Mr. Frank Laughrin
Heaver Okla.
Dear Mr Laughrin:
You will recall the writer In connec-
tion with the negotiations between
yourself and J. L. Love ct ol in con-
nection with the waterworks and rail-
road company.
It seems that Lovo trnected to raise
money by borrowing it on the bond
but In the trusteeship those bonds wero
tied up in such a manner namely
(3000 per mile on each mile of track
constructed that it has been impossi-
ble to raise money on tho delivery of
the bonds In Dili manner.
Now this proposition U up to Mr
Merkle to finance. We Iibvq got it
financed provided you will agree to
pay for th rails on their arrival at
Forgan Wo can make n very advan-
tageous deal by buying this steel and
paying for it in cash. There will be
about f 14000 worth of steel and fralplit
and if you can arrange with tho tail
road nflicials and tho committee to
take up these rails as they come in
your road will bo constructed in the
next twenty days.
We would not ordinarily ask you to
change tho agreement but I belice
that n hen I tell you this would obviate
any delays that you will bo willing to
do It. The ties will cost $10000 alone.
The labor for the track laying will cost
approximately $5000. This will make'i
us invest f 15 000 casli before you turn
over to us the bonds and stock in the
railroad company and you will still
have some casli left in your hands when
you hare paid for the rails
Please take this matter up nilh tho
railroad company and advise me if you
can make the arrangement to take up
these rails na they are doliverol sigh
Ural t bill oMading attached at Forgan.
Unless this is done I do not believe
that we can get tho money to finance
this deal until after the crop movo-
ment is over which will bo about CO or
00 days and we can get this road in
there and got it constructed under the
plan which I am proposing to you In
the next thirty days Hence I think
it. will be advantageous to everybody
Please lot me have an expression
from you as to what can bo dona in tho
premises and obligo
Yours very truly
T. O. Djupkr.

MORE WHEAT BURNS.
The Heaver County Republican of
Gray gives tho following account of
losses by firo to groin In that vicinity
the put week. It Is mighty hard luck
for the farmer to get his crop along to
the threshing stage and then loe but
too of ten this is tho unfortunate ex-
perience of many. Whllo the farmer
Ih put to a great expento to mature the
crop and by tho time lie gots through
plowing planting Iiendlngund thresh-
ing a great hold is cut In his profit par-
ticularly when he must haul his crop
n n j miles to market and sacrillco it
for 55 cents to (16 cents per bushel yet
we believe that there is only one way
for every business man to do Innlncn
bu lie farmer nlerchant or what not
and that is to protect his interests by
insurance. When tho farmer gets his
crop along to tho stage where it is as-
surrcd so faMis weather conditions are
concerned then we believe that It is
tho best thing for him to protect him
self against loss by hail and lire. Of
course it takes some more of the profit
but in case of loss that insurance mon-
ey comes in might handy and helps
wonderfully in keeping a fellow's
spirits up in the face ot misfortune.
The 1 1 khali) editor la a firm believer
in Insurance of every kind whatsoever.
Wo boliove that what is wortli promot-
ing is worth protecting and we'd rath
or divide the profits to secure that pro-
tection than to carry the wliolo risk on
tho theory of ''make or break."
The two losses as reported by the
Republican aro as follows. Similar re-
ports may be found in nearly all our
numerous exchnnges which coino to
this office from all ovor the state i
"T J. .Morgan near Ochiltreo was
unfortunate to have his new Peerless
topcrator badly damaged by lire last.

Mr. Morgan had only threshed 210
bushels of barley with tho outfit
lost nhnut 100 biisliela of barlov.
As we go to press we learn that two
fine slacks of wheat were burned on
the place of Mr. R. F. Baker. The ma-
chine had just commenced thrashing

BIG TIME AT BALKO.
Tho Reaver Gospel Team wont to
Ralko Sunday and held r.ll-ilny and
night services at that placo. A big
inoetlug was held in tho church in tho
morning after which n most elaborate
basket dinner wns served. This was
followed by services for the men in
the afternoon at three o'clock at the
Church ami ti women's meeting at tho
school house. Night services were held
at fight o'clock nt the church and con-
tinued until eleven. At all of the ser-
vices about forty confessions wore
made nnd it is the intention of the
people of that vicinity to organize a
Gospel Team at once and get into the
work.
A largo crowd was present at ever
service and much interest was mani-
fested. Tills is oiio of the largest if
not the largest meeting that the Gov
pel team has hold and they felt much
encouraged by their great success and
the apparent goyd which thoy were
able to accomplish Tho movement
seems to bo the popular one to catch
tho hearts of tho people who do not
always give tho Higher I.ifo tho care-
ful consideration which they should
and beyond doubt is reaching many
who could not otherwise be inlluonced
The luirk Is most commondablo and wo
hope to see It go on and on.
