GQ1T0N ESTIMATE
Tnless good rains are general
throughout the state within the next
two weeks, the cotton crop of Okla-
homa will be materially reduced
from the estimates of two weeks
ago, according to information which
has been received by Shawnee cot-
ton firms. While exact* figures are
hard to give, one of them estimates
that the crop will be decreased from
1,250,000 bales to approximately 1,-
000,000 bales. Three recent hot days
and the boll worms are given as the
causes.
Last Saturday, Sunday and Mon-
day the weather was so extremely
sultry that it caused the plants to
shed the smaller bolls and much of
the unmatured fruit. The cooler
weather that followed was beneficial
in preventing further damage. Then
the boll worm has been at work j^n
many portions of the state and
caused further damage so that a loss
of 250,000 bales is estimated to have
taken place.
But if good rains are forthcoming
during the next two weeks, it also is
thought that at least a part of this
loss will be regained in the growth
of new fruit. The present estimates
of both the Anderson-Clayton and
Harrlss-Irby cotton companies place
the crop at approximately 1,000,000
bales.
As the price of cotton this year is
lower than last year, the indication
is that the 1911 product will not be
as valuable as the 1910 crop. The
crop last year was about the same
size as predicted for this, but all
sold for a good stiff price, bringing
$80,000,000 into the state. The es-
timates of cotton firms on the values
of this year's crop are from $70,-
000,000 to $75,000,000.

(Contributed.)
Our Sunday school is holding up
nicely during the hot weather.
Twenty-seven additions to our
church membership in the last three
months. There's a reason.
Rev. Pingry preaches plain gospel
facts; nothing sensational, but food
to feed the inner man.
Are we really to have our pro-
hibition fight over again? We admire
a good fighter and we also admire
a man who knows when he is
whipped, but if it requires a third
whipping to convince, why then "up
and at 'em again, boys."
The Baptist tent meetings, at the
corner of Main and Rich streets, are
being largely attended and Rev. Mc-
Call is preaching splendid sermons.
Mr. and Mrs. Boylan and family,
who have been visiting in Iowa for
some months, returned home yester-
day.
j Sunday school class No, 3 enter-
tained the class at her home, corner
Kimberly and Eleventh streets, Fri-
day night In a most pleasing man-
ner. After the business matters were
disposed of, refreshments were
served. The guests report a very
pleasant evening.
Mrs. Fogg, who recently lived in
this neighborhood, departed with her
children this week for Montreal, Can-
ada, and will make her future home
in that city.
We are glad to welcome back into
our midst Mr. and Mrs. Ed Cofer,
who are now living at the corner of
Pesotum and Tenth street. Mrs.
Cofer was a great help in our
church and has been greatly missed
while away.
The Gein theater played 10 stand-
ing room only last night with the
bull fight pictures on exhibition
there, and they are 6aid to be the
greatest feature pictures ever shown
in Shawnee by all who have seen
them. The graceful matadors, the
daring picadors and the ferocious
bulls certainly offer a spectacle to
the audience that is realistic and
exciting in the extreme. Every fea-
ture of the fight is plainly, shown,
from the killing of the bulls and
horses and men to the dragging of
the dead bodies of the animals from
the arena. These pictures are of
peculiar iuterest to everybody, inas-
much as bull fighting has formed a
part of the history of the world for
more than 700 years, when it was
instituted in Spain for the encour-
agement of the use of weapons of
war. There is absolutely no imita-
tion about them; the fights being
shown were photographed before
30,000 people in Mexico City, and
the vast audience stands out boldly
on the canvas. Tonight is the last
time these pictures will be shown in
Shawnee.

SHAWNEE. OKLA
A bill providing for the discon-
tinuance of the office of county at-
torney is one of the most Interesting
and important ideas so far suggested
by members of the legislature to
Gov. Cruce in the letters written to
him in answer to his inquiries re-
garding their views as to the ad-
visability of a special session.
This bill, as outlined in a letter
from Senator Vandeventer of Bar-
tlesville, In the Thirty-first sena-
torial district, would abolish thf of-
fice of county attorney, and proposes
in its stead a district attorney. Sen-
ator Vandeventer is of tho opinion
that the district attorney's office
should be placed largely on a fee
basis. He declares he believes the
enactment of this bill would do more
to bring about enforcement of the
law than would any other step that
could now be taken.
Senator Vandeventer is in favor of
a special session and suggests that
It bo called for some time In the
early fall. In addition to the dis-
trict attorney bill, he proposes th
consideration of the following:
Redisricting the state under th
new apportionment bill as passed by
congress; settlement of the state-
house question; a primary election
law that will cure the defects in the
present law and Insure fair elections,
and. the passage of an employers'
liability act.
In regard to the last suggestion,
Senator Vandeventer advances the
proposal that in case this is not
deemed expedient at present, the
labor commissioner be authorized to
procure the necessary information
on which to base such an act, with
a view to securing legislation along
this line in the near future.
Hubert L. Bolen of Oklahoma City,
representative from the First district
of Oklahoma county, also favors a
special session. He suggests that it
be called for about Oct. 1, and offers
the following suggestions as to legis-
lation:
Redisricting the state, settlement
of the capltol question, some sort of
legislation regarding tax on mort-
gages, the repeal or modification of
the inheritance tax law, an appro-
priation to pay court stenographers
and some prohibition legislation.
