Mr. Hartman said that the winters
were so extremely cold In the canyon
the teTuperature often Rottlnjr down -to

Mr. Ilnrtmtui says thnt Judge Car-

as a jiremlor woodsman insisted on
piloting several of tho party down a
mountain side to camp one evening und
that When the ramp refused to show

rol forever nterward Insisted that he
was rltsht and thnt it was the camp
and not the party that was lost.
Mr. Gillespie and Mr. Freeman ac-
cording to Mr. Hartman carried off

TO ENLARGE FREIGHT DEPOT
Team Track l'ac-llltlcs Will lie Greatly
Incrciisisl.
As reported by K. 1. It?vy vtoe-
prestdont and general managir of the
Frisco railroad company additional
room is being added to the freight
depot n pure'y temporary arrange-
ment to help take cure of tho enor-
mous shipments. The team track fa-
cilities will also he doubled.
For tho past year tho freight at
Ihe Kilsco yards has been in a tled-up
cotiiiitlon und for the past six months
It baa been impossible to get a suffi-
cient number of freight handleres.
1 "Three hundred men are needed in
I that department alone" said Mr. Levy
! yesterday.
Shippers of all commodities are
1 compelled under tho new ruling to
ship In oarlond lots nnd this will
eventually help to remedy the diffi-
culty. Partly filled cars are almost
impossible to get delivered and uii-
I loaded for from official reports many
'i me inner uepots turnout the coun-
try are in an euunlly bad condition.
Some of the delay of the work on
buildings here Is duo to this freight
trouble) us well a the shortage of
men.
1'ivan Crop Valuable.
Ppfcll to J'h W orM.
(.'Ol.UNSVIU.H Okla. Oct. 20.
From present Indications the pecan
crop in this vicinity will exceed in
value many other crops ordinarily
considered much more valuable. Many
acres of river bottoms and lowlands
surrounding this city arc covered with
pecan trees well loaded with flno nuts.
Hopresentatlvcs of several large
firms are already In the field with
prices practically twice as h ch ns
ever before. Mr. nnd Mrs. W. M.
Fnsho. representing a ft. louls firm
have been in the vicinity about a week
nnd are said to have made many con-
tracts. Mnny farmers nnd landowners have
mad complaints nnd some arrests
have been reported because people
persist in stealing those vnluablo nuts.
Altho "no trespassing" signs are very
much In evidence it seems almost im-
possible to keep small boys and many
older persons from getting the nuts.

Tulsa County Takes Lead
In Matter of Good Roads
C. of C. Committee Will Bend
Every Effort to Insure Suc-
cess of Bond Election.
Eyea of Oklahomnns Interested lu
good roads are now centered on Tul-
sa county and the officials to whom
this community turns for tho con-
titruction cf a system of hard-aurface
roadways which will bo Inaugurated
hy laylnft at least 102 miles reaching
Into every section of this county.
The action of the county commis
sioners In announcing a detertn op-
tion to place before the voters of Tul-
sa county the question of a .bond issue
of fl 750000 for the construction oi
roads has placed many of tho adja-
cent counties of this state "on their
toes."
It has long been realized that tho
county to ecure the greatest advant-
age thru Its roadway system would bo
ihe first county to Inaugurate an in-
telligent system of road construction
thereby taking the lead In the worn
nnd maintaining 11 an easy thing- to
do when the people realize the ad-
vantages to be gained.
County Takes Step.
Now Tulsa county has taken Tiw
Hep which assures It thin place other
counties are being awakened and lr
mnny movements are under way
which arc expected to result in bond
eastern Oklahoma almost six hundred
miles of hard-surface road9 In th
counties adjoining this county.
Tho action of the county officials
In deslgnuflng the roads suggested by
Mnx Cunningham state highway en-
gineer a&cures them the hearty co-
operntlon of the ptate's department-)
and places at their disposal all of tn
resources of that department And tno
aid of the federal government equally
ns interested In the road movement as
the state or county.
In making his survey and In pre-
paring his recommendations as well
ns the map presented to the county
commissioners Mr. Cunningham maun
fvrry effort to distribute the roads
thruont the county where they would
serve the greatest number not only
of automohllists but of residents of
the rural section as well.
rhirlng his last visit to Tulsa Mr.
Cunningham explained that it was his
intention of reducing to a minimum
the haul of every road user In ths
county and for this service he planned
to have his reads run thru such
territory ns would serve the best In-
triests of the county and serve th
towns In the county adiacent to Tulsa
Ho had In mind also tho object of
producing the radiating roads irom
Tulsa to the county lines In such a
v.-ay that they would connect wth
roids being constructed by adjacent
counties thus giving Tulsa a drawing
power from tho sections of other
counties nenr the Tulsa county line.
Solves Problems.
Following the last mooting of tho
county commissioners it was an-
nounced thnt several problems In tbe
actual construction of the roadway
syMem hnd been solved. Ono of the
main features presented was the
chnrscter of roadway to bo construct-
ed. 8ome advocated a concrete road
while others saw iho advantage ut a
highway constructed with concrete
base and asphalt surface.
As explained by President R. M.
McFarlln of tho Chamber of Com-
merce tho latter plan was much more
economical nnd was the only logical
iclutlon. "VTlthin two years" he de-
clared "we will find that the saving
on automobile tires alone by use of tho
asphalt-topped road will more than
balance the difference of cost."
It has been shrwn that such road-
ways in other pnrt of the country hav
met conditions which wore Impossible
for the solid concrete roads. It has
been found that they are easily re-
paired thnt the upkeep is much less
and that they give a better wearlntr
surface especially when comfort n
considered.
With cement or brick surfaced
roads there Is always a great amount
of excavation to be done when a cer-
tain part of the rurface gives way
while with an asphalt top road a re-
pair patch can bo placed In a day.
This Is Impossible with concrete as it
is necessary to let this material "act"
for several days and If It Is the brick
surfaces that are being treated tho
Rl'ghtest Jar will misplace a tier of
Ir'ck and will leave the spot as de-
fective as before the repairs were
attempted.
Dlcction November 20
November 20 Is the day set by tha
county commissioners for tho eleetloi
and ulready they have been assured
the henrty co-operation of every civic
organization In the citv. as well as tho
civic clubs of the other cities anJ
towns In the county.
The local Chamber of Commerce
with President McFarlin in the ieao
Is plnnnlng to conduct an educational
enmpaigu ttiruout the county the pur-
pose being to show the voters of tho
county that only by such a system wl'-l
the proper development come to their
properties and that the comparltave
increase in taxation will bo almost nil
as compared with the advantages to
be gained by the votlnj of the bonds.
ROOSEVELT ENDORSES
UNIVERSAL TRAINING
Registration of All Men From
19 Years Up Approved by
the Colonel.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt last
week isued tho following statement
.thru II. H. Sheets secretary National
association for universal military
training:
"My dear Mr. Sheets: I most hear-
tily agree with you in your proposal
that the United States government
shnll. as a permanent policy nt once
register all tho young men from nine-
teen years up for the purpose of mil-
itary training. This is the right way
to shorten tho present war. and more-
over it indicates what we should adopt
ac our permanent military policy. a
Cardinal clhboiH has well said such
training will befiefit our young men
incalculably not only physically but
morally and will not only fit them tor
war but will fit them for their work
in peace time.
"I wish to take this opportunity to
express tho gratitude that all Ameri-
cans should fed for Lieutenant Gen-
eral S. 11. M Young for his leadership
in this cause. He hns fought valiantly
for tho principle of obligatory military
training at a time when its adherent
were Very few when he practically
broke ground as a pioneer. Tho na-
tion owes him a real debt of sratltuje.
If our people had followed his advice
when It was ' first given this war
would have been over r.ow. Tho
tin tighter would have been stopped
and tho nations banded together for
liberty would have achieved a com-
pelling and overwhelming victory.
'Xot only Is it Important that Gen-
eral Young's urgent appeal should
now bo followed hy the nation so as
to train for this war the young men
from nineteen to twenty-one allho
not callln them out until after they
are twenty-one hut as I have said
nnove me necessities or this war
rhould be met at once and without
further deln? and be made the occa-
sion of establishing a system of per-
manent universal obligutcry mllltatj
training.
"With all good wishes f.iithrun?
yours Theodore Roosevelt."
