That Enid has lost more than
$,">,000 worth of dirt through pro-
visions of the specications for sewer
and paving improvements drawn by
the former city engineer was the
statement of W. T. Overtoni com-
missioner of streets and alleys, in the
meeting of the city commission this
morning.
The matter came up near the close
of the meeting when Commissioner
Overton stated that he had instructed
Street Commissioner Boatman to"
have the dirt taken by excavation
in a sewer removed to a certain place
where it "would benefit the city. He
stated that the man in charge of the
work had told him that it was op-
tional with him whether he gave
the dirt to the city or sold it to
individuals.
Specifications Produced.
The question was discussed at
some length and finally the specifi-
cations were produced. City Attor-
ney Helsell was asked for his opin-
ion regarding the city's right but
stated that he would like to investi-
gate the question further before mak-
ing a report. He said that he would
be able to report on one of the con-
tracts this afternoon.
It was 10:45 this morning when
the commissioners met. Mayor Ran-
dolph, armed with his new gavel,
presided and all of the commission-
ers were present. The bid of Perry
B. Lincoln to feed the city prisoners
at the hotel for twelve and one-half
cents per meal or ten cents per meal
at the jail was accepted.
About the Poll Tax.
Commissioner Overton said that
some arrangement should be made
by the city for money which is being
collected by the street commissioner
for road tax. It is planned to use
this money in paying employees for
city street work. It is thought prop-
er that the clerk shall furnish the
commissioner of finance and revenue
with a list of those who should pay
the tax, it is then to be paid to the
commissioner of finance and revenue
and by him turned over to the
treasurer.
Railroads Must Pay.
City Attorney Helsell reported
that upon further investigation of
the paving, law it had been found
that the railroad company could be
made to pay for the paving of the
whole of the alley between blocks
fourteen and fifteen, original town-
At the last meeting of the commis-
sion an ordinance was passed com-
pelling the Rock Island to pave be-
tween the tracks and two feet on
either side of the tracks in the al-
ley. When it was found that the
company could be made to pay for
the paving of the entire alley the
commissioners henceforth set them-
selves to expunging from the record
the former ordinance relating to the
Rock Island and passing the new or-
dinance as amended. The ordinance

A Crowd in Kansas City.
Kansas City, Jan. 19.—John R.
Walsh, the former Chicago financier,
on his way to the federal prison at
^eavenworth, to serve a sentence of
five years for misapplying the funds
of the Chicago National Bank, ar-
rived in Kansas City this morning.
The aged banker slept fairly well
last night and between trains here
appeared to be cheerful. As the
party of officials and relatives ac-
companying Walsh alighted from
the Chicago train a newspaper pho-
tographer who raised a camera to
take a snapshot of the travelers was
attacked by John W. Walsh, son of
the prisoner.
Walsh left at ten o'clock over the
the Missouri Pacific for Leaven-
worth. A great crowd thronged the
depot and tried to get a view of the
once powerful financier, but they
had little opportunity. As soon as
he entered the Missouri Pacific car
urtains were drawn and no one
was admitted. Walsh appeared to
realize this was his last day out of
the pen for five years. His son. John
W. Walsh, appeared extremely anx-
ious to comfort his father in every
way possible.
Arrested For Gambling.
Thomas Cotter and Wm. Hogan of
Lahoma are under arrest for gamb-
ling. They were arrested yesterday
by Sheriff Campbell. Both were re-
leased on bond.

Yesterday's balloting aggregated
_„,j67 votes and these were distrib-
uted among the different contestants
in such a manner that there were
new leaders in each district. Miss
Carrol Butln takes the leadership in
the First district, and Miss Agatha
Hanson surprises her competitors by
taking the lead in the Second dis-
trict. Miss Ethel White of Marshall
takes the leadership In the Third
district today. Word reaches this of-
fice that other towns in this district
are awakening to an appreciation of
the value of the prize which the Daily-
Eagle has offered and that several
young ladles are doing splendid work
in gathering In subscriptions while
the big double vote ofTer is in force.
Several contestants made progress
in the Fourth district and some of
them voted heavily, Miss Maud Wat-
sou of Ringwood who everybody In
that section is supporting succeeded
In reaching the top, while a number
of her competitors are so close that
any one of them is liable to wrest the
honor away from her today.
There Is no question about it, this
period is going to be the biggest and
greatest one the contest has yet
known. All the condidates have been
quick to see into the great opportun-
ity presented them in the double vote
offer at this period and every possible
subscription is being gathered in
while the subscriptions count for the
double votes.
New Hilling Helps Candidates.
It is not only the candidates
themselves who are eager to get in
all the subscriptions they can this
period. The people of the city and
country who are interested in the
various candidates are equally
xious to help friends among the con-
testants while they can do them the
most good. No candidate should fall
to realize that the people will be
more -than glad to help her this pe-

republican members, and it might
result, If their seats were declared
vacant, that the state house democ-
racy could pass legislation with all
emergency clauses necessary and
thus defeat the will of the people
on any matters that they might wish
to invoge the referendum.
The plan of declaring seats vacant I
in order to more completely control
the situation has been under con-
sideration by the statehouse lead-j
ers for several days, and if it is de-1
elded to enforce such ruling, there
will be a number of republican
members lose their seats in the
house.
And still there were some repub-
lican members who endorsed Has-'
kell's call for the special session!

Pankham Wins the
Prize.
Cologne, Jan. 19.—The world's
great passenger airship is now under
construction here. It is being built
by Count Zeppelin, who perfected his
work with the aid of the German gov-
ernment and has made some remark-
able flights over long distances.
The new ship will be of the dirtg-
ible type which the Count has been
building in the past, and will have
equipment for three hundred pas-
sengers. Count Zeppelin states that
it will carry that many people from
Hamburg to London, crossing the
English Channel, and he expects to
put the aircraft In regular use be-
tween the great cities of the conti-
nent and the capital of the British
Empire.

time, by order of the court, is divided between the parents.
F. P. Robinson, Here From Texas
Says Business is Hushing In the
Eastern Part of the State.
Frank P. Robinson, who is now
engaged with George Rainey in hand-
ling Texas lands, returned to the city-
today after an absence of several
weeks In the Lone Star state. Like
all others who have visited that
section Mr. Robinson tells glowing
tales of the present era of develop-
ment. Trains are carrying immi-
grants into the gulf coast country by
thousands and thousands, land Is
changing hands rapidly and rising in
value with each change^ and towns
and cities are springing up as If by
magic.
Perhaps the orange belt land is in
greatest demand. There are many
thousands of acres in southeast Texas
which will grow as fine oranges as
are grown anywhere in the world and
with little labor. Orange trees bear
a fair crop the third year they are
out and heavily from that time on.
In many instances, five acres Into an
orange orchard produces as much
money value crop as a half section
of wheat land. The land which grows
oranges well can be bought now at
from thirty to fifty dollars per acre,
and when planted out to fruit and
the trees are bearing is worth from
five hundred to a thousand dollars
per acre.
Figs and other tropical fruits are
grown in the cost country t^lone.
But apples dp not do well. The apple
tree blooms continually in this part
of Texas and the fruit never comes.
The soil is black and rich, and al-
most level. From all sections of the
nation men are pouring into that
country in the hope of finding new
fortunes, and many are succeeding
beyond their expectations.

KAY C0UN1Y CHAIRMAN SCOTT Iff BE CHOSEN
TALKS OF SITUATION TO SUCCEtD HOUSE
AL HATTEN SAYS GARBER WILL
GET 350 OF 375 VOTES IN
POXCA CITY.
Ponca City, Jan. 19.—According
to A1 Hatten, chairman of the Kay
county republican committee. Judge
Garber will get an overwhelming
vote in this county in the congres-
sional contest. Mr. Hatten expresses
the belief that of 375 republican
votes in Ponca City Judge Garber
will poll 350 and Congressman Mc-
Guire 25.
"It will be almost unanimous
here," says Mr. Hatten. There are
a few old soldiers, who are under
personal obligations to Mr. McGuire,
and then there is the husband of
the postmistress, who will support
the congressman of course. They
would be Ingrates not to do so. The
people are for Garber so strong that
it is little less than marvelous."
Mr. Hart ten is engaged in the pro-
duce business and has a wide ac-
quaintance in the country around
Ponca. He says the farmers are
strong for Garber. The Kay county
chairman formerly lived in Garfield
county near Lahoma and is acquaint-
ed with the private and public ca-
reer of the Gareld county candidate,
hence is enthusiastic for him.
A GUTHRIE REPORT SAYS Till
STATE COMMITTEE IS ABOUT
TO BLUNDER.
Guthrie, Jan. 19.—It is reported
here that Secretary Herbert House
of the state republican committee
will resign at the first meeting of
the executive committee and that
Dr. Hugh Scott of Waukomis will
be chosen to fill the vacancy. The
report has caused no little excite-
ment, in republican circles, because
nothing could be done by the state
committee which would be more
likely to stir up a bitter row. Dr.
Scott is McGuire's campaign man
ager in the congressional contest
and if elevated to the position of
secretary of the committee It would
bo taken at once to mean that the
committee will make the state cam-
paign a side issue with the con-
giessional contest to the fore, and
will do all it can to force the nom-
ination of McGuire on the First dls
trict. Such action would cause a
revolt In the First that would be
hard to stop. Chairman Harris has
already been warned that the state
committee must keep Its hands off
the MeGuire-Garber contest and has
agreed to see that this Is done
Scott could not possibly have been
elected secretary at the state com-
mittee meeting this week.

LEGISLATURE WILL
MEET T
.MAY UNSEAT REPUBLICAN MEM
IIERS IN ORDER TO PASS
THE EMERGENCY
CLAUSE.
Guthrie, Ok., Jan. 19.—Governor
Haskell's special session of the sec -
ond legislature convenes tomorrow.
The army of employees has arrived
and camped, waiting for the distri
bution of state funds, raised by di-
rect taxation. One of the first meas-
ures introduced will be to patch up
the bank guaranty law. another at-
tempt will be to fix a fee bill, and
present Indications are that the
Taylor election law will be amended.
But there is another scheme In
the making. Since the statehood
legislature dosed its regular ses-
sion, last spring, several members of
the assembly have moved to other
districts, a sufficient number in fact
to seriously effect legislation, if their
seats were declared vacant. Of this
number of transfers a number are
It Is generally recognized hi Kan-
sas. Oklahoma and Missouri that the
biggest republican event of the year
is the banquet of the Kansas Day
lub, held annually in Topeka this
month. National leaders of the party
are Invited to be present on that oc-
casion and to expound the principles
for which the party stands. The oc-
casion has gained a reputation sec-
ond to none of the kind in the west.
Judge Garber was signally lion
ored this week by being Invited to
deliver the principal address this
year before the Kansas Day club.
He received an official Invitation a
few days ago, and later several tele-
grams from members of the club
urging him to accept. The Judge,
however, Is so busy with his official
duties on the bench that he has not
the time to spare which a trip to To-
peka would require, and he has de-
cided to forego the pleasure of mak-
ing the address.
The latter part of this week Judge
Garber goes to Wagoner to hold court
under a special assignment by the
supreme court of this state.

most remarkable cross-country flight
in history. O11 the wings of a wind
that other aviators hesitated long to
face, the little Frenchman rode from

47 1-2 miles In one hour, two min-
utes, 42 4-6 seconds. He went down
with the wind In 30 minutes and
came back against It In 33 minutes.
When he climbed out of his car he
said his motor was cool as when he
started and that he could do the trip
over again at once.
