Hobart, Okla., Nov. 11.—What ap-

tempt on the part of vandals to de-
stroy the new plant of the Interstate
Compress Company's plant occurred
at 1 o'clock yesterday morning, when
the watchman discovered the flames
In a bale of cotton on the' north side
of the platform and fanned by a high
north wind.
Without turning in a fire aland,
the watchman called several of the
negro employes and moved the cotton
to a point out of danger, but not until
eight bales had been ^partially de-
stroyed.
No fire or sparks of railroad en-
gines had been near the scene for
hours, and it is believed some one at-
tempted to destroy the thousands of
bales of cotton on the wharf together
with the new compress. A rigid in
vestigation is being made.

Last night there was a well at-
tended meeting of the Shawnee Heal
Estate Exchange at which the busi-
ness status of Shawnee and Us pros-
pects for the future were earnestly
and enthusiastically discussed. It was
the general opinion that now, the
election being over and Its various
disturbing elements eliminated, the
city will settle down to a season of
sanity and sure, though aggressive,
business methods that will serve to
revive commercial conditions of the
summer months Just passed. Among
other practical things agreed upon uy
our aggregation of boosters was that
they secure from the state geo-
logical department an exhaust-
ive survey of the country con-
tiguous to this city with a view to the
determination once for all if we are.
'or are not, In the oil or gas region,
and at what probable dopth the strata
bearing them are situated; It was like-
wise agreed upon by the Shawnee
Real Estate Exchange "in meeting
assembled" that it would work as a
unit for the advancement of the ma-
terial interests of this city In every
honorable way and to the best of
their /ability. Knowing the ability
and energy of the gentlemen enrolled
on the Exchange roster this state-
ment will be received will full confi.

In startling contrast lo this long

to pay for the expense of washing

arrangements for bathing, both in

customary thing for the guilds to de-

oftener, for the purpose of bathing.

.-'■efi and their friends will again urge
II ihe next legislature th disposal
of all the state lands, including sec-
lions lfi and SC. which are set aside
(or the common school fund. The
principal arguments advanced for the
sale of these sections are that there
are hundreds of people who are eager
to buy homes; that immense amounts
of taxable property will be added lo
rlie various counties by the sale; that
lie land matter should be disposed of
early so as to remove a bone of con-
tention from state politics; that the:
1 chances for non-resident speculators j
. nd non-progressive Investors will be !
decidedly lessened.
The current sales are generally of
section 33. the public building lands.
