Los Angeles, Cal., June 3.—The Times
says:
"The intention of the Rock Jsland to
secure a through line to the coast and a
terminal at Los Angeles is believed by-
local railroad strategists to be at the bot-
tom of the recent mysterious acquisition
of the El Paso & Northeastern, and its
consolidation with their property, the EI
Piso & Southwestern, by the Phelps-
Dodge interests, who are believed to lie
simply the agents and representatives of
the Rock Island in the initiative move on
the part of that system to push its way
into San Diego and thence to Los An-
geles."

KATY STRONG
FINANCIALLY
The last thirty days o! the M. K. & T.
fiscal year is at hand and as yet there is
no sign of a cut in forces to save ex
penses. All departments are- being run
with about a normal force, which is very
much different to the situation last year.
Weeks before the fiscal year of 1904 was
at an end the management made great
reductions, working on the least possi-
ble number of men. The bridge and
building department, the shops, the sec-
tion men were all reduced in force all
over the system.
The Katy earnings for the past eleven
months—the year ends June 30—have
been much better than expected. The
cotton movement [was something enor-
mous and the Katy handled more than
it had participated. The cattle move-
ment has b-tn big, the California fruit
shipments reached large proportions, and
altogether it has been a successful year
from a financial standpoint. There were
times when business was very slack, and
the outlook did not appear any too good,
but always something came along to
make business pick up.
The fact that no reductions have been
made so far is a good indication that the
Kalv finances are in good shape.

WITH PITTSBURG CAPITAL
Will Pipe Gas from Mus-
gokee and Tulsa to Rest
of the Territory
Muskogee, I. T., June 3—Judge H. G.
Baker, who has just returued from the
east, has made the announcement that
he has closed a contract with the Mis
souri, Kansas'and Texas railroad which
gives him the privilege ot running a pipe
alongside its tracks from the Tulsa oil
field to Muskogee. Judge Baker also
said several Pittsburg capitalists, who
have heard a great deal about Muskogee
and the surrounding country will visit this
city within two or three weeks to look
into conditions here with a view to fi-
nancing the gas proposition. The Tulsa
field is about sixty miles from this city,
but the cost of constructing the pipe line
has been reduced to a minimum through
the concessions secured from the Katy
He said any proposition with merit
was regarded with favor by eastern cap
italists who know anything about Mus-
kogee and the Indian Territory, while
everywhere he went while away people
were eager for information about the
country, conditions, prospects, etc.
While absent the judge visited St. I,ouis,
where lie discussed the proposed power
plant on the Grand river and secured
much data of value relative to apparatus,
etc., which he will submit to Mr.
Haskell when the latter returns to the
city today.
At Pittsburg Judge Parker said he
found the people better informed gener-
ally on conditions in the territory than
any other place he visited, aud readily
interested capitalists to extend that they
will make a trip out hert to see for them
selves what the country offers in the way
of investments. He believes a deal of
eastern capital is headed this way that
all that is required is to safeguard the
investments with necessary legislation,
part of which can be accomplished by
means of the city council, while other
laws must await statehood.
Petitions have been sent to Gov. Fer-
guson asking him to use all proper means
in hi* endeavor to stop the Sunday bar-
bacue which is to be held at 101 ranch,
June 11. If there were no Sunday pic-
nics or base ball games, but instead they
were given on Saturday afternoon, the
business world could be educated to give
their employe's that afternoon when such
things were going to take place.
The public has been educated up to
more difficult things than that. I.et us
strive to mike Shawnee a place where
the Sabbath will he more strictly observ-
ed than it is at present.
A little agitation and education will do
w iiiders for a community.
Gov. Fergusop has been secured to
speak one evening at the Territorial Con
vention of the W. C. T. I'., which meets
in Shawnee Sept. 13-14 15. The Govern
or is 110 stranger to Shawnee and his
many friends will be gU.d of an oppor
tunity to hear him.
The County Convention of the W. C
T. U., will be held in Earlboro the jgth
and 30th of June or duriug the first week
in July. We urge all white ribboners
who can, to attend.
The M. E. church has been secured as
the ^ lace to hold the Territorial Conven
tion in September.
The Supreme Court in construing the
law held that if any person sold malt or
vinous liquors, whether they were intox
icating or not, they must pay the Dow
tax. A large number of so called soft
drink places had started over the state,
selling different grades of malt liquoi
known as Bishop's beer, Swankey, and
similar drinks. These places were ex
empt from the Dow tax under the form
er interpretation of the law. When the
supreme court gave their decision the
auditors listed all of these places for
taxation, and the settlement was made
011 the liest terms which the liquor deal
ers could secure. Since this decison
every person selling malt or vinous
liquor, whether it is intoxicating* or not
must pay the Dow tax, and a large nuni
ber of such persons are on the tax dupli
cate making up the number that is re-
ported.
