In addition to handling the immense
cotton crop which Is raised around
Shawnee, farmers from all parts ot
this section of the state will take ad
vantage- of the warehouse, it being
the only one within a great radius.
Shawnee will be more than ever the
cotton center of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory and the price is bound to
be exceptionally good in this market
When the warehouse is In working
order a farmer will be able to receive
a bond for his products which is equl
valent to money. It will be cashed
at the banks and other commercial
houses the same as a check or can be
given as collateral In obtaining a loan.
It Is to be Issued by the Shawnee
Clearing House Assocation and they
are held responsible for It. By this
means money is not tied up waiting
on the markets, but Is kept tn circula-
tion the same as any other time and
at the same time the farmer is get-
ting the advantage of a better price
for his staple.

Explosion Endangers Several Men's
Lives.
Tulsa. I. T., June 21.—An explosion
that came near ending several men's
lives occurred yesterday in Kiefer.
The explosion was on the Kiefer lease
belonging to the Prairie Oil and Gas
company.
The Are originated from striking oil
in the second sand 150 feet above the
third sand, and the oil came in a gush
and before the drill men could get to
the boiler to put out the fire the oil
and gas ignited and an explosion fol-
lowed. It caught drill men and oth-
ers who were working in the vicinity.
It was several minutes before the
men could get the fire under control.
One man was severely burned and
two others were slightly injured.
Louisville, Ky., June 21 Following
spirited contest in committee, be-
tween the Taft and anti-Taft forces,
resolutions were adopted by the re-
publican state convention which are
somewhat in the nature of a comprom-
ise. The resolutions commend the
ability, integrity and courage of Pres
ident Roosevelt and his administra-
tion, and without expressing a prefer
ence for any candidate, favor the se-
lection by the next national conven-
tion for president of one in full ac-
cord with thesv policies and who will
energetically carry them out in the
interests of all the people.
The anti-Taft forces had worked
hard to prevent any expression at all
by the convention, but the secretary's
supporters wer too strong. The Mount
Sterling railroad convention's en-
dorsement of a man in sympathy with
Roosevelt policies was then agreed to,
but the Fairbanks men insisted that
the qualifying clause be inserted spec
if.ving that no candidate in particular
is re'ferred to. Ex-Governor W. O.
Bradley, in taking the rostrum as per-
manent chairman, urged against any
presidential endorsement.
The Taft men got even a few min-
utes later by preventing consideration
of a motion to endorse Bradley for
United States senator. The resolu
tions also declare for publicity in cam
paign expenses and denounce the law
creating the state racing commission
as "passed for Immoral political pur-
poses." demanding its repeal.
Monte Ne, Ark., June 21.—The Nat-
ional Coton congress was called to
order by Mr. John C. Hill of Musko-
gee, assistant secretary, in the ab-
sence of John Hartin, president. A
telegram was read from Mr. Martin
fiom New York City, stating that he
had just arrived on a ship five days
er due on his return from the Intel-
national Cotton congress at Vienna,
and too late to be present, expressing
his regrets, etc.
A letter was read from C. D. Brown
of Jackson, Tenn., secretary, to the ef-
fect that he had been ill and his cot-
ton shipments were of that Import-
ance to require his presence at home,
expressing regrets and predicting 1
great success for the growth of th>
cotton congress from year to year.
Mr. Hill called for nominations for
temporary chairman and on motion of
Oscar Halsell of Oklahoma City, C
J. Barrow of Baton Rouge, La., was
unanimously elected, and presided.
Mr. Barrow made an Interesting talK
oh the objects of the congress and an

In speaking of the potato market
Col. A. P. Watson said this morning
to a News reporter: "There is prac-
tically no limit to the price to which
potatoes will go between now and
July 4. The Texas crop has all been
marketed, and the Arkansas Valley
crop is 75 per cent in, and the Kaw
valley crop will not be ready until
early in July. Potatoes sold at 70
cents last night, and will doubtless be
80 cents next week."
The crop this year, says Mr. Wat
son, has been cut short by the cold
weather, but the spuds are of good
quality. He estimates that there will
be approximately 100 cars yet shipped
from Shawnee, although he asserts
that he has not followed the business
as closely as usual this year 011 ac-
count of his political activities. There
have been about 100 cars already ship
ped from this city, and if Col Wat
son's estimate is correct, the crop will
Indeed fall far below the average.
That there Is a strong demand for
Oklahoma spuds is shown by the fact
that there are daily more potato buy-
ers arriving to augment the great num
ber already here.
In this connection It might be said
that the danger to the cotton crop is
not so great as is generally supposed.
Heavy rainfalls have occurred only in
sections, and the temperature all over
the cotton belt, according to the U.
S. weather bureau, has been about
normal. The principal difficulty now
encountered by the farmers Is clear,
ing their fields of weeds, which are
growing prollfleally while the plows
are kept from the ground by the wet
weather. The rain has also Interfer-
ed seriously with potato digging, but
In spite of this fact the great crop is
still bring brought in for shipment.
Watonga, Okla., June 21-—Associate
Justice M. C. Garber has Just handed
down a decision in the case of the
Bank of Eagle City vs. the Thomas
State Bank et al., holding the bank
liable for the payment of checks given

ment for hogs purchased of them,
wliich checks were drawn on the
Thomas State Bank and signed by Al

Thomas, Okla., made arrangements
with the Thomas State Bank to pay
his checks issued in payment for live
stock in the name of the bank and
have the proceeds returned to the

lars per car for such service.
