But few men have been challenged
there being no attempt made in
Shawnee or elsewhere, it is said, to
run in even questionable votes. Pres-
ent indications are that there will bo
less than 100 Tecumseh votes in
Shawnee, while Shawnee will get at
least 25 votes in Tecumseh. In the
county outside of Shawnee and Te
cumseh, Shawnee will get at least 60
per cent of the entire vote. This es-
timate is made from meager reports

E
Bartlesville, Okla., Feb. 10.—A
dance which will continue for five
is discord and distrust prevailing,
which, it seems, will be a hard mat
ter to rectify.
Moreover, the pipe lines now find
themselves up against the proposition
of being designated as common car
riers and common buyers by legisla-
tive enactment, a thing they have al-
ways fought shy of. Tho MId-Contin-
nt Oil Producers' Association is
lending the pipe lines all Its assist-
ance to have such legislation defeated
or modified, but with the independent
producers manifesting no intention of
comiug to the rescue of the pipe
lines, even though most of them do
not, favor the proposed legislation,
the legislators have good cause to
believe the proposed legislation is
wanted by as many producers as do
uot want It. The chances are It will
go through.
A long shut-down, it is believed,
will eventually bring about an in-
crease in the price of oil. There is
now in storage as stocks over 40,-
000,000 barrels of oil in the Okla-
homa oil fields. With development
stopped, the pipe lines will be forced
to run tho stocks, which, when
cleaned up, will create a demand for
heavy production. When this day
comes the producers believe they
will be in position to dictate to the
pipe lines as to the price of oil, in
stead of being at their mercy as now
is the case. The charge is now made
that of the three pipe line companies
In the Oklahoma oil fields, one com-
pany persists in cutting all oil below
the 32 gravity, which is the standard
for fixing the price, never allowing
any advance for oil above 32 gravity,
another pipe lino will not take pro-
duction unless it buys the lease out-
right, while the other pipe line will
buy only on submitted bids, which
means that producers must generally
take 25 cents or less a barrel for oil
which, according to its grade, should
bring the regular price of 41 cents a
barrel.
It will, so state many prominent
producers, be a happy day to them
when they can have their say In the
| matter of the price of their oil.
; It may require a few weeks only
; and it may take months, with the aid
of sensible but firm legislation, to
bring about a satisfactory condition
of affairs in the Oklahoma oil fields,
but producers—both independents and
doubt that the skull has been in the
river bod thousands of years. Oie of
the tusks was brok<m off sqtiartily
and the other projected a distance of
ten inches.
The find was witnessed by Jim
Flynne and Bob Christy of the Mid
land Valley road. News of the dis-
covery was sent to the railroad of
ficlals at Muskogee, who left at once
for the scene. They announced that
the skull was certainly that of a pre-
historic animal and estimated Its age
at many centuries at the very least.
Manager Holden of tho Midland
wrote to the secretary of tho Smith
sonian Institute at Washington, and
officials of that institution are expect
ed to arrive soon to Investigate and
report on the discovery.
The skull has been placed on exhi-
bition at the Kahman McMurray
camp, where it is the subject of Tar
led conjectures and comments on the
part of thousands of people from th*
town and country surrounding. A
party has been sont out to unearth.
If possible, the skeleton of the ani-
mal.
From the discovery of America by
Columbus mahogany has been held in
high esteem, not only for its beauty,
hut Its hardness and durability as
well. There is no wood that has
been used as long in the manufacture
of furniture as this wood. Furniture
made of mahogany is the pride of
every one that possesses It, and ma
hogany furniture is known to be
handed down from one generation to
another.
Why not own a few pieces of this
highly prized furniture? The Gal
bralth Furniture Company of this city
has In stock a few pieces of mahog
any furniture which they are going
to close out this week at price© that
are less than it cost at the factory,
in order to have room for more new
