Business has been very good in Shaw-
nee today, but then it is always good
here
Did you ever hear of any sunstrokes in
Shawnee? The constant breezes are such
that sunstrokes are unknown here.
The Katy bonus committee is hustling
on its task of collecting the amount to
meet the bond. The committee certain-
ly deserves success.
As the Forest city, inquiries from the
eastern states as far as New York, ask
concerning the timber belt, and prospec-
tive investors are usually landed by the
fact that Shawnee has both timber and a
boundless supply of clear water.
Ai.FaI.pa has learned the farmers of
this county that hay and caUle raising
are two of the most profitable industries
in the world. Not even several wettings
in succession will ruin alfalfa, and it is
always good for feed, hence it is a val-
uable feed for cattle and as it can be cut
several tunes a year, it is valuable from a
crop stand point as well.
Now that a process has been found
whereby cotton stalks can be made into
a first-class paper, there is nothing in
Pottawatomie county crops that is not
worth money. All her diversified crops,
which come in for eleven months a year,
have meant big money to the farmers.
Now the grab boll cleaner takes the bolls
which has been heretofore a waste, and
cleans the cotton out of tluui, making a
Cue marketable product. Then along
comes the paper mill and buys the de-
spised stalks to make paper of.
W. T. Steele, of Chicago, a member of
the Rock Island operating department,is
in the city 011 business.
J. C. Finch, commercial agent of the
Katy, is over today on business from
Oklahoma City.
Agent George P. Nelson, of the Santa
Fe, is doing double duty, having the
ticket agent's work in addition to his
own, that official having resigned.
Mr. McReynolds, chief clerk for the
Rock Island company, and his family,
spent Friday in Tecumseh, sight seeing
and viewing the fine exhibits of the
Farmers' Institute. Mack says he never
saw finer fruit and he is from Arkansas,
too.

morning from Wetumka, I. T., where he
conducted a lawsuit Friday, his side
winning the case. The judge says the
two days he spent in the territory made
bim realize how bright are Shawnee's
prospects and how excellent is her pres-
ent condition. No town in the territory

ed, the busy every day life of this city,

Effective August 12, the standard
sleeper which has been operated over the
Rock Island to Colorado, will be discon
tinned and the same service will be put
on to Oklahoma City. This car has been
on for some time and when it was in-
augurated it was intended to be perman
ent, but after trying it the managements
discovered that the connection made at
Oklahoma City was close enough to al-
low the changing of lines at that place.
The travel to Colorado this summer is
heavier than in the history of the road,
it is said, and the change is in the nature
of an improvement over the old system.
The Rock Island has been sued at
Alva, 0. T., for $100,000 damages by
the Farmer's Federation of Woods coun-
ty for alleged failure to furnish transpor-
tation for the grain of the complaining
association. It appears that the associa-
tion is operating on an independent plan
in Oklahoma, and that the Rock Island,
working in conjunction with the clique
in Chicago, has made an effort to control
the shipments of wheat from these men.
The case will come up at the next term
of the district court, which convenes in
September, and the outcome of the mat-
ter will be awaited with no little inter-
est.
PAPER FROM
COTTON STALKS
AN EIGHT
Representative Howard, of Georgia,
has induced the agricultural department
at Washington to start an investigation
of the manufacture of white paper from
cotton stalks. Successful experiments
have already been made in Atlanta, Ga.,
nd Houston, Texas, and it is said the
white paper mad; in Atlanta from cotton
stalks excels the_usual product made
from wood pulp, and it is believed the
cost of manufacture is considerably less,
Mr. Howard has persuaded Secretary
Wilson and his assistanls to look into the
experimental process already established,
and the department has announced that
it will make more complete investigation
as to the cost and process of converting
the stalks into paper and issue a public
bulletin containing all the information
obtainable.

figure of a girl has been emblematic of
the Katy. This is true no longer. The
leaflet just sent out ')y the passenger
department of the Rock Island shows a
photograph of a young lady which can
give Katy cards aud spades and then
beat her at any game under the sun. The
booklet is full to overflowing with scenes
descriptive of cool Colorado, and at the
same time it contains valuable informa-
tion as to the best manner of reaching
this country. It contains a long list of
hotels, boarding houses and private fain
ilies who take care of visitors during the
summer, and gives the rate each charges
for accomodation.
It is an interesting and useful publica
tion and will doubtless be examined by
those intending to spend the heated term
out of the city.
