the mercury slipped down to i'i de-
grees und the first cool weather In
the past two months and inure was
enjoyed. The weather man couldn't
do better than 8 degrees for his max-

lieved there is hope of extending the
reprieve from the effects of the sear-
ing blanket that has smothered the
city for weeks.
The forecast for today is fair and
for Friday the weather man sees
things the same way. No promises

this section of the country is given

OKLAHOMA CITY. Aug. 24. The
announcement that Charles v. arren
Fairbanks will open the Oklahoma
campaign on September 12 at Okla-
homa Citv hi'S aroused state-wide in-
terest and it is nrophesied that u tre-
mendous crowd will greet linn here.
The Kepublican state committee
through a subcommittee appointed
tor that purpose has issued a call for
a state convention to be held in Ok-
lahoma City on the same date as the
Fairbanks visit and at this conven-
tion the state platform will be
adopted.
The call for the state convention
piovides for most county conventions
to be held on Saturday September 11.
The number of delegates a county
may send is unlimited but the vote
of the county Is regulated as at the
March convention by the number of
votes cast for governor n 1914.
It Is probable that Oklahoma will
have several speakers of national re-
pute during this vcar's campaign as
the decisive victory of the Kepublh!-
an partv In accomplishing the defeat
cf the literacy test amendment has
confirmed the belief that Oklahoma
may enter the Republican column in

tho country southeast ol Muskogee
the Brushy mountain territory was
furthcrdemonstrated when M. S
Musscllem "the lucky Syrian'
reached at 1451 feet the top of gas
sund in his test in section 32 township
14. range IS.
At a little more than two feet In the
sand the well is sending in at least
seven million feet of gas rushing out
of the eight-Inch tubing with a roar
which can be heard for two or three
miles around. The well is located
about six miles southeast of Muskogee
and on laud adjoining that block from
which the city of Muskogee through a
contract made recently with the Mus-
sellem Oil & (ias Co. Is to derive gas

WILL COMPROMISE
EXPRESS REFUNDS
All ompanlos in State Are -kcd to
Agree- lo New
Figures.
Speriftl to The World.
OKLAHOMA CITY Aug. 24 An
other attempt was mad" todav to set-
tle the controversy between the state
and the express companies relathe to
a refund on excessive rates enforced
by express compaiii.n prior to rates
fixed by the eorpooulon commission
and upheld by the supreme court. An
effer was made by the state to accept
a sulwtantial reduction from the total
amount of the refund provided the
i oses were settled as to all the express
companies.
The matter is up with the heads of
the express companies and some
answer is expected tomorrow. If set-
tlement can be made at 'his time it
will mean dismissal of action In the
federal court whereby the Santa Fc
railroad secured privilege to inter-
vene In the rate cases on the ground
that the railroad company was an In-
terested party. It Is figured hy the
state that If the litigation was al-
lowed to continue it would meir an-
other fight In the courts similar to
the recently ended trial of the pas-
senger and freight rate cases which
would involve endless court costs and
litigation expenses. It Is predicted
that If a settlement can he brought
obe ut even though a slight reduction
Is made in refund it would lie econ-
omy and a saving of much- trouble.
