Guthrie. Okla., Dec. 7.—The Fort
Smith & Western railroad failed to
impress the corporation commission
with its claim that It should be ex-
empted from the two cent fare. The
hearing before the board was prac-
tically conduced yesterday. While
the commissioners have reserved
their final decision, one of the mem-
bers last night authorized the state- j
ment that the threo cent fare would

The city council met in special |
sis-sioii last night to consider the |
proposRupn made by K. K. Blake, to1
i stahlish four lire plugs on the eight |
inch main now being laid along
Wade street, and which will extend'
from the standplpe near the new
Rock Island depot and the standplpe j
now being erected in the Rock Isl-
and viir.ls north of the city limits.
The mayor and all the councilmen
except Roberts were present, and
the meeting was of more than usual
interest N'one of the members;
seemed to know whether the new j
pipe line is the property of the Rock
Island or the water company, but,
with the exception of Councilman
Stoneman, they were of the opinion
that the additional hydrants are
needed. Stoneman thought tlint the]
company, Rock Island or Water,
should he willing to furnish the city
with six hydrants tn exchange for;
the privilege of using the streets
and alleys for Its pipe line.
A resolution was finally adopted
ver Ston. man's opposition, which
will bind the city, if accepted by the
company, for a period of five years.;
to pay for each of four hydrants the,
same rental as is now paid for fire
plugs. Th" pipe line will be laid
along the alley between Bickford and
Rock Island avenues, from Wade
street northward, and the hydrants
will be located on that line, at such
places as the mayor and the fire and
water committee of the council shall
desilgnate. Each hydrant will have
a 21-2 Inch opening for standplpe
service, and a sVinch opening for
steamer use. Rentals will be paid j
only for the time at which the com
puny ran throw a stream of water to
the height of one hundred feet. The
city is given tho right at any time
to order additional hydrants at the
price now paid for those already In
use.
The water which will be turned
into the new pipe line will be drawn
from Bellamy's lake, and be sup-
plied from that source, which will
greatly relieve the strain upon the
wells which at present supply the
city with water. It is believed that
the city's water supply will be ado-
quate when this arrangement Is car-
r i l into effect.

NIGHT.
