NEW ROAD TO REACH SMELTERS
Rumor That St. L„ B. & P. Will Come Down That
Way From Dewey.
While it would appear that Bartles j
ville has lost the shops, genral offices
and terminals of the St. Louts, Bar
tlesvile & Pacific railway, it is almost '
certain that the road will be built into '
the city. This action is necessary by
reason of the smelters here and the
provision in the constRuiton that com
pels railway building in the state to '
enter a county seat where the line goes ;
within a radius of five miles from the '
city. As the line is uuw projected, the !
road will enter Dewey, turn thence in '
a southwesterly direction and run along
the Osage-Cherok«e line to the smelt j
ers. The road will then either builil '
a spur into the city proper or establish
a depot near the smelters. While this
information has not been given out of j
ficially, it is known that the ptans
as now made are to this effect. It
would have been much better to have
secured the shops, terminals and offices,
but a half loaf is better than none.
The location of the shops has not
been determined upon, but the cities of
•Joplin, Pawhuska and Ponca City each
offers to "come across" with the coin
necessary, and the best offer will doubt-
less be accepted. Ponca City is after
the division, as are also Dewoy and
Pawhuska, while the general headquart
ers will be either in Joplin or Webb
City, it is thought.
The Carmen, Okla., Headlight, iu the
issue of last Friday, gives an account
of the survey from Pond Creek to Car-
men and a general statement of what
the road would do in northwestern
Oklahoma and the cities it would touch
bot wee# .Ponca City and Carmen.

BANKERK HAD
MEETING SAT-
URDAY NIGHT
Feeling on Financial Situation is
Quite Optimistic-Business Soon
Conducted in Old Way.
A meeting of the officials of the
banks of the city was held Saturday
night in 'the directors' room of the
First National bank and the general
situation in financial circles was can-
vassed. The meeting developed a very
optimistic feeling as the outlook is
much brighter, and it was the concen-
sus of opinion that affairs will soon
straighten themselves in such a way
as to enable all the banks to resume
business on the old plan. There will be
no radical change in policy during the
coming week the issuance of cashiers'
certificates being continued.

The insatiable appetite of the
amusement loving public is experienc-
ing a most delightful novelty this sea
son in an appetizing morsel, in the way
of a Western play with music, called
"The Girl Over There." Something
new and doing is the cry and, in "The
Girl Over There," in which Mabel Mc-
Cane is appearing tho want is supplied
with a remarkable originality and while
there mav be nothing new under the
sun, a change of combination of cir
cirmstances is bound to make a change
of effect, and effect plays the most im-
portant part in dramatic musical of-
ferings. Miss McCane is a singing and
dramatic star of unusual popularity in
metropolitan musical circles, heads the
attraction and is surrounded with a
most acceptable company of forty-five
artists, including George A. Lemming,
George Westlain Davies, Cecil Summers,
Benjamin Turbitt, J. K. Burbridge.

late yesterday afternoon by Adjutant
General Niles, summoning the troops
to the eapitaJ.
The big item of expense, that of over

inated because the soldiers have con
sented to waive their per diem salary
in this instance. The rest of their ex
penses will be p&id. Over eight hun
dred members are expected to respond
to the adjutant's order.
General Niles has received communi-
cations from many of the military
bodies at Indian Territory, stating
that they will take part in the ceremon
ies. This will swell the ranks of the
troops probably to one thousand.
First Lieutenant C. D. Crusan of the
Fourth infantry, who is stationed at

Electric Light Co. Furnishes Poor Service
Pending the rumor that another
telephono company desires to do busi-
ness in Bartlesville, and that the coun
eli will be asked to grant a franchise
to the second company to build, oper
ate and conduct an exchange in the
city, very little interest so far has
been manifested in tho question.
The council is the only legal body
clothed with the power to grant or put
into service an utility to be operated
in a public capacity; to use highways
and municipal properties in the
achievement of certain purposes while
acting as a common carrier in receiv
ing and transmitting messages within
the territorv over which the authority
of the said council extends.
The member* of the council nd ma>
or are the peoples' representatives, and
in all matters of importance, the people
fchould go before that body, anil make
known, either orally or by petition,
what they desire. The council invites
public opinion, and only in tlml way.
is It enabled to Veep in clow- touch with
the people.
Again, the people have recourse to
the press, and the columns of the
Morning Examiner, are always open
for the discussion of public questions
or suggestions, that it believes will be
of benefit to the people and the inter-
est of Bartlesville.
If it is the desire of the people that
a second telephone franchise be granted,
the matter can easily be arranged for
at any regular meeting of the coun-
cil. Silence is equivalent to • con-
sent, and in the event no interest is
manifested by the people, regarding
the granting of a second frairchise to
operate a telephone line, of course, the
council then cannot be ex(iectwl to act
in that capacity,
There is one matter, however, that
ill., council will give especial atten
Hon: An improvement in the present
system of street lighting. Thero has
been much complaint registered, and
that rightly, too, from various sections
of the city. The contract entered into
between the city and the HBectric
Light company has not been kept by
the latter in providing a very poor and
part of the time, worse than no serv
ire at all.
Two parties are necessary ito a con
tract, but when one fails to comply
with its stipulations, there is just
eanse for its annulment. It is claimed
the elecrtric lights were dark in the
part of the city west of the railroad
tracks, last Friday night, and also,
that the service was very poor else
where. The Electric Light company
is supposed to furnish 30 arc lights of
a 2000 candle capacity in considera-
tion of sixty dollars per year from
the city. The couaeil is doing all in its
power to better the service, but has
m«|l "wfith little success hwetoflorii
However, present conditions will not
longer be tolerated; and it will insist,
and further demand or compel tho com-
ply provide an adequate service
for the compensation received.
