In herjiew charter form of govern-
ment if men as capable as John V.
Koogle announce for the other two
nlaccs on the commission. In this
issue of the American Mr. Koogle
announces his candithioy for Com-
missioner of iFlnamce, a positU n for
which be is exception? lly well fitted.
Mr. Koogle came to Oklahoma at
the opening of the 'Cherokee Outlet
on September 16, 1893, and located
atlPerry, where he engaged In the ab-
stract and loan business. In the spring
of 1894 he was elected city asHessor
of Perry, and during his residence in
Noble county he filled the positions
of deputy district clerk, deputy reg-
ister of deeds and clerk in the treas-
urer's office. He was engrossing clerk
In the territorial legislatures of 18J7
and 1899, and at the close of the ses-
sion of 1899 he served sixty days in
the office of Secretary of the Terri-
tory Wm. M. Jenkins, who was af-
terward territorial governor of Ok-
lahoma.
On September 6, 1901, just one
month after the opening of the
United States land ofllce in El Keno
Mr. Koogle came to this city to ac
cept a (position as a clerk in that or
flee. He held that position until six
. months ug°, when he was transf -i-
~ red to the land office In Cheyenne^
Wy*>®frlg. where 'he could have uau
oermaneut employment if he h;«d
wanted it. 'Hut Mr. ICoogle was un
willing to give up his residence in
this city, so ho tendered his resigna-
tion and returned home, and was a:
once urged by many of the .n'-xens
of El Heno to allow his name t) be

thousands of the surplus population
of Burt and Asia, no permamnt
raising of our own standard can be
hoped for, says Joseph 1-ee in 1 lie
Survey. The net result of present
immigration Is simply '°'?Pr®a<
unfortunate conditions which tae.'O
immigrants represent over our own
country, and to leave their home

was before. II la the old ease of the

in England since they came here ana
drove out our native birds.
A large part of the present move-
ment especially from southern an 1
eastern Kurope, is made possible
through assistance of relatives or
friends.
To the steamship companies the
.migration from southern and cast-
em Europe is peculiarly attractive
bex-auseso many of the Immigiants
ffrom these countries go forward and
back, h<> that the company gets a fare
both ways.
In short, our present immigration,
thus fostered for purely industrial
purposes is largely a cold business
proposition. It has behind it, partly,
the same business motive the de-
sire for a supply of cheap labor—
which formerly brought about the
African slave trade (although, of
course, the two cases are not closely
parallel in other respects), and part
ly tiie natural desire of the steamship
companies for larger dividends.
\ natural consequence of this se
lection largely by steamship a Rents
Is that the types selected are not audi
as easily assimilate with out present
population. The absence uf family
lire among a large proportion <>r the
immigrate, the overcrowding and
congestion In cities, the fact that
"the tendency to become naturalized
citizens, even among those who have
1m'en here rive years or more. Is not
great," are all natural and consist-
ent consequences of the purely com-
mercial motive on the part of the
same thing. Thus it Is necessary to

kilowatts, but also lo state the time

Pew of us, outside of engineering
circles, know how that mysterious
rvant, electricity, is measured. We
only know that the regular monthly
bill calls for "1567-1543—24 kw-hr.

of us have gone down cellar, or up
In the attic, with a lighted candle
to stare with mystltled wonder and
profound awo at the little mechani-
cal meter with lis incomprehensible
dials and unreadable figures only to
wonder what it was all about.
The lad Is thrt electricity,
or, strictly speaking elefctrir
energy, is measured in kilowatt
hours! A kilowatt hour is practlcnl-
ly the same at one and one-third
horse-power hours since 7 4t> watts

a rate ot work Just as a liorse-power
rate of work. One tells how
hard the dynamo has to work while
the other tells how hard a horse or
engine has to work to produce the
equired energy.

of the geometry of the organs of

might control the angles of the fly-

DISTRICT COURT
The petit jury was recalled in the
district court Tuesday morning;, buf'
was dismissed until Wednesday
morning, when the case of Northwest
Thresher company vs. McNinch was
called for trial, with Attorney Libby
of this city representing the thresher
company and J. L. Brown of Oklaho-
ma City as attorney for the plaintiff.
The ease is one of seven which grew
out of the sale of a threshing ma-
chine by the plaintiff to R. L. Mc-
•Clung of Piedmont in 1905. Mr.
McNinch, with seven others, are en-
dorsers on notes given by MeClung
to the company in the sum of $800,
which, • with accrued interest,
amounts now to about $1,200. It is
agreed by the parties that the ver-
dict returned in the MoNinch case
shall be the verdict in the other
cases. The defendants undertook to
prove that the notes were obtained
by fraud and misrepresentation,
while the attorney for the plaintiff
insisted that the jury had no right to
consider anything but the written In-
struments. The jury returned a ver-
dict for the defendant at 9 o'clock
this morning.
The case of Security Trust and
Savings company vs. Oleichman was
stricken from the assignment and set
over.
On January 10, for the fifth time
within two years, a state-wide pri-
mary will be held In Florida for tho
gelectlon of a United States senator.
