Cotton
The farmers of Woodward count}'
*re beginning to think more of
raising cotton, and we believe we
cannot say to much in favor of this
crop. It has already been noticed
that the farmer with cotton has the
most money.
An old wheat raiser who experi-
mented a little this year made $300
on fifty acres of wheat and $200 on
five acres of cotton.
It has been advanced that a re-
duction of the wheat acreage with
the planting of a part in cotton
will result materially in increasing
the wealth of the individual farmer.
'Vliul's what we want to see—the
farmer prosper.
Of course it has been a little
inconTenient for the farmers in this
immediate vicinity this year on ac-
count of the distance to a gin, but
another year and an increase iu the
'cotton acreage will result in a gin
being located in Mooreland.
We are told by experienced
cotton growers that cotton mean#
ready money and easy money at all
times.
O
Fire at Woodward
The explosion of a gasoline lamp
iu a bakery at Woodward Monday
evening between 5 and 6 o'clock
lesulted in the death of one man
and the complete destruction of
the bakery, a barber shop and the
Chandler Drug Store,
The explosion of the lamp threw
bnrning gasoline on the man whose
name we did not learn, and he was
falallv burned, dying some time in
the night. The fire was not under
con : ;1 untill about 9 o'clock.
An Election Bet,
Cassius M. Cade, of Shawnee,
republican national committeeman,
yesterday afternoon, called a bet of
$100 made by John Stine, of Alva,
" that the democrats would elect the
congressman in both the First and
Seconds districts.
Stine bets that both Delegates
Hird S. McGutre and ex-Governor
T. B. Ferguson will be defeated by
t i'.ir democratic opponents, who-
ever they may be. If either one is
elected, Cade wins.—Post.

Wealth of Country
The United States census bureau
estimated the total wealth of the
country in 1904 to be $106,881,415,-
009. This shows an mcrease in
wealth over the estimates for 1900
of nearly 21 per cent and of 64 per
cent over the estimate for 1890,
when the total wealth was $65,-
037,091.197-
In 1904 the value of the real
property taxed was $55,608,719,-
435; real property not taxed, $6,-
569,527,174;live stock,$4,073,791, -
736; railroads and their equipment,
$11,24^,752,000, materials and
prospects of manufacture, $7,409,-
286,000; furniture, carraiges, etc.,

$3 ,297,754,180; gold and silver
coin and bullion, $2,002,430,272;
clothing, $2,500,000,000.

placed end to end, the string would
be long enough to reach from the
earth to the moon and back again

Cultivation of pecan trees is be-
ginning to attract considerable at-
tention in the southern part of
Pottawaomie county, and experi-
ments during the past several years
with those put there by nature1
have been very successful. A. J.
Rice, a fanner who has been caring
for half a dozen trees 011 his farm
disposed of a single load of pecans
in the local market at Tecumseh
this week for $93.00. This made
the nuts sell for 8 to 9 eeuts per j
pound, and it is considered cheap. I
There are a number of these trees
along the banks of the Canadian
river in that county, though their j
commercial value has never yet j
been considered very seriously.
Tests have been made the result of
which has brought the farmer# to a
realization that their product is as
valuable as any thing else that can
be grown on the land they occupy, j
In the vicinity of the groves the
land is not favorable to general;
agriculture, and here it is the trees j
thrive the best.
The native pecan trees of this
region do not bear as large nuts as
the noted Texas trees, but they are
prolific and a certain crop. An
acre of these trees, it is claimed by
those acquainted with their charac-
ter, produce a hundred,, dollars
worth of nuts at five cents per
pound, and the older the trees get,
the more their y eld increases. In
the early days of the towns of
Pottawatomie county, gathering
pecans and selling them was the
cheif industry of the Indians then
inhabiting the couniry, and they
made all the spending money they
needed. In late years, the com-
mercial value of these trees became
noted by the farmers and they
have watched the crop pretty close-
ly-
It is claimed by those best ac-
quainted with the culture of pecans
that the trees grow and produce
better in the rich alluvial soil of
the bottom land near creeks and
rivers, but experiments have proven
that any fair agricultural soil is
very well adapted to their culture.
More attention will be given them
in the future.

The Old Story
It is 650 miles from Kingfisher to
Galveston and the rate on wheat be-
tween the two points is 30^ cents
per cwt. it is 980 miles fromKansas
City to Galveston and the rate on
wheat between these two points is
11 V* cents. Isn't that a good and
sufficient reason why the railroads
should be regulated? If the Kansas
City rate is right and profitable
and it surely is for the railroad
don't do business at a loss, the rate
from Kingfisher to the gulf should
be about 8 cents. If the Kingfisher
rate* is proper the Kansas City
rate should be 45 cents. If the
