Years and Not Yet Complete
LAWTON: The construct on re-
sumed on the big Wichita Mountain
dam at Craterville, is tfciw progress-
ing with alacrity. A force of men
were put to work a month ago veneer-
ing the up-stream surface of the dam
with a heavy cement coat, and within
a week this portion of the work will
have been completed The company's
latest plan is to increase the height
of the dam to forty feet, thus adding
ten feet to the present, height.
The darn is being constructed by
the Craterville Mining and Water-
power Company, which began the con-
struction of the dam two years ago

lars in completing the bare walls.
This dam is 100 feet long and is
built in a V shape, with the bow up-
stream. and is four miles north ot
Cache. A half mile southwest is the
home of Chief of Comanche*. Qu.vr.ah

STANDARD OIL COMPANY BEGINS
A FIGHT AGAINST INDEPEN-
DENT COMPANIES
r. SI WORKING TO SHUT CUT OTHERS
W ■ f No Reduction is Made in Crude
Oil Refined Product Sold Three
Cents Cheaper—Agents are Busy in
Eastern Kansas
TOPEKA: The Standard Oil Com-
pany has started out to crush the in-
dependent oil refineries now begin-
ning operations in Kansas. An army
of special agents has been placed in
the field with authority to make all
sr"-ts of cuts in prices in order to se-
cure a monopoly of the trade. The
agents are working in the territory
fthere the independents expect to de-
velop their trade.
Already one cut has been made and
otheis are threatened. Within the
past week the Standard has dropped
three cents a gallon on oil and two
cents. on gasoline. It was getting
eleven and one-half cents for oil and
thirteen and one-half for gasoline.
Now it is asking eight and one-haif
for v)il and eleven and one-half for
ga^line. No recent drop in the crude
oil justifies the drop in refined.
Asked why it happened, one of the
special agents sa!d: "It is due to a
saving in freight rates. You see, we
used to base our prices here on the
price of oil at Cleveland, plus the
freight rate. Now wo ship from Kan-
sas City and can. therefore, save the
freight from Cleveland to Kansas
City."
"But you made a reduction once
before, when the Kansas City re-
finery opened up. and gave the same
reason."
"Is that so?" sa d the agent with a
senile. "Well, that is the reason I
was tola to give, anyhow, and if you
work for the Standard you must do
and say what it tells you to."
These special agents are swarming
in all the towns in eastern Kansas
where the independents are prepar-
ing to put in supply stations. They
are pleading with the merchants to
patronize the Standard exclusively.
Lower prices for oil and a better
gride of oil are the inducements they
offer. They challenge a test of oils
and even offer to furnisu a Standard
Oil lamp for the purpose.
Local merchants have noticed an
improvement in the gradi of oil which
the Standard his furnished recently.
The advent of special agents wit'i a
challenge for a test explains It, they
say. The trust laid its ropes well be-
fore .opening its fight on the indepen-
dents.

of the preceding week, and is doing
well.
Cotton is generally in fair to good

Pawnee County Commissioners Saya
Attorney is All Right
GUTHRIE: The case of the Pawnee
county commissioners vs. Horace
Speed. I'nited States attorney, was
| dismissed in the Oklahoma supreme
court by the plaintiffs at its coats.
Speed collected $60,000 back taxes for

the Osage Indian nation and received
a 20 per cent fee therefor. Afterward
suit was brought charging him with
-ins hribery and fraud to secure the
contra:t and that his fee was extor-
tionate. In dismissing the case, ac-
cording to Attorney John Pevereaux
representing Speed, the commission-
ers passed a resolution fully exoner-
ating Speed of any dishonesty and
commending him for his work. An
agreement was made that Dovereaux
and Attorney Sam Harris for the com
cisi toners, shall agree upou a suit-
able fee tcr Speed's service in col-
lectins tie tuu. Speed woo tha

Adolphe William Bouguereau.
of 80 years. Heart disease and a ner-
vous shork combined with his ad-
vanced age caused his death.
Adolphe William Bouguereau was
born in 1S25 at La Rochelle. France
He was educated at the common
school at Pons, his father discouraging
the artistic tendencies of the boy's
mind. He became a haberhasher't
clerk In Bordeaux, but attended the
drawing class of M. AIoux two hours
each evening and gave up his position
to be a painter. He studied under
Pieot and in 184S obtained a priie. Ia
18f<9 ho was offered the cross of th«
Legion of llonr.
Probably no other French artist wa«
so «?!! known in America. Ameri-
cans own nearly onehalf the pictures
he painted, and there are few fine
collectors but have at least one Bou-
guereau.
