After next Monday it will be Governor Frantz and ex-
Governor Ferguson. It will be a good man succeeded by a
good man and the jar to the teritory will not be pereeptable.
tt
Charley Fiison has been appointed Secretary of the ter-
ritory, his name having been sent to the senate by President
Roosevelt Friday last. The choice is a good one or it never
would have been made.
The opposition to the statehood bill is becoming obstrep-
erous and Speaker Cannon threatens to do some spanking if
the insurgents dont get into line. Bully for Uncle Joe. If
some of those kickers should hap]>en to pass this way, cold
tar and stale eggs would be looked up closely.'
We note with pleasure the reappointment of Frank C.
Sickles, as register, and Thomas R. Reed, as receiver of the
El Reno land office for a term of four years. These gentle-
men have both been very efficient and capable officials and
deserved this mark of confidence on the part of President
Roosevet.
tt
Judge R. A. Billups, democratic national committeeman
accompanied by 'Jesse Dunn, of Alva, J. R. Chapman, of
Shawnee, Tom Doyle, of Perry, and Roy Stafford of the Ok
lahoman, will start for Washington to give statehood a boost
on the 15th of this month. If ,we don't get statehood you
will knew where to place the blame.
tt
To be Governor Frank Frantz says: ''Delegate Mc-
Guire deserves great credit for the valiant work he is doing
in the interest of statehood. McGuire certainly should be
praised. He is making a great fight—the greatest anyone
ever hits offered in behalf of statehood—I except no one,
and believe the people should understand this battle he is
waging. \ es, I believe that single statehood is going to be
given us this session. I don't believe there is any question
about" that. Surely members of congress will appreciate
that we deserve statehood. Of course, when that comes,
we shall make such progressive strides as scarcely any com-
monwealth in the history of our country has made. It will
mean a big thing to us.
ft
SHOES?
Yes we have them. Perhaps not the
largest stock in town, as we do not de-
pend upon quantity but quality to se-
cure our trade. We have a line that
$ we can positively guarantee. Our ax-
® perience has learned us that there is
£ more fraud in shoes than any other
§ and to avoid this we buy nothing but
£ a shoe that bears an absolute guaran-
fi tee on every pair. Try our shoe once
jJJ and you will come back.

There is some question in the minds of our people as to
whether the Orient railroad, running over the tracks of the
Frisco woul be worth its cost It certainly could not be in
dependent nor competitive while doing business on the prop-
erty of a rival road, and under such environment, it would
not benefit us except to prevent the development of the
western part of the county, thereby doing away with compe-
tition. If we secured the road in this manlier, the arrange-
ment would not be for long, as a trunk line, as the Orient
will be, cannot depend upon a leased roadbed for its great
traffic, and sooner or later the old roadbed in the west part
of the county would be used. We can see no particular ben-
efits other than it would afford our people g reater opportun
ities to see the cars go by.
The Wichita Eagle says: "Cotton product** has
brought about a revolution in the life of about a third of the
United States, and our neighbor on the south, Oklahoma, has
played a very important part in this sweeping change, caus-
ed by ti greater acreage and a higherj price for cotton
a great deal of which the tei ritory is producing. The part
the Oklahoma planters have played in this matter is signiti
cant to that which they are coming to. Just what effect the
greater acreage is going to have is not certain. The farm
ers of the south for a long time had only desolation. Ten
ey concurred with this suggestion on account of the irregularity
of that meeting.The next regular meeting was the 2nd of January,
1906, when 1 left my store in the evening, I instructed Mr. Dean
to inform Mr. Molen, when he came to place of meeting, I would
be back from my supper in a short time, on returning to my store
(this being the place of meeting) I found the officials of the city
had all dispersed. It was at this meeting that Mr. Copeland would
have been appointed. Mr. Copeland is a nice gentleman as far as I
know and would make a good councilman. I have not been oppos-
ed to appointing him. but it has so happened that he has not been
appointed. I do not even know what Mr. Copeland was in favor of
doing in regard to the laying the 4-inch main. I have never asked
him anything about it, neither have I asked anyone else what he
was in favor of. The following is the status of the pipe proposition
At a meeting of the council not very long since, there were pres-
ent, J. W. Corlett, H. D. Young, W. A. Bills, G. E. Wagner, Dr.
Farbei, Dick Weaver, C. H. Murdock, Rev. Vandeburg, Rev. Spaan
and Jno. I. Lee, and probably a few others. After arriving at ths
conclusion that nothing could be done with a main outside of the
corporation, the first thing would be to add all platted lands to the
corporation. AU present were in favor of doing that, or nearly all
possibly there were one or two that did not care about it being ad-
ded, unless tne council would run a 4-inch maib to the school site.
The city attorney went to work, made the necessary preparations,
and was not very long until all platted lots were added to the in-
corporated town by the council. The board thinking it right that
the said platted lands should help the balance of the town as they
were receiving the same benefits as the rest. The Reformed peo-
ple wanted to make the following contract: Piping to be funished
to their building at about 20 cents oer foot, provided the city would
pay for hauling the water used by them in the construction of
their building until such time as the main was completed to their
building, then the city to furnish them the balance of the water
free, also to giv-d them a franchise for a certain period of time, I
think anywhere from - to 5 years. I object to laying the 4-inch
main for the following reasons: 1st. We have no extension fund
and no such fund can be created at this time. 2nd. There would
be no income from such extension for a long time and the city
would have the interest to pay probably 2 or 3 years and the inter-
est i heavy enough now. 3rd. The present plant has not been
sufficiently tested to justify laying any more pipe at this time.
4th. Something could occur that would delay the laying of the
pipe until the building was completed, then the deduction of cost
of hauling water, during the construction of the building, together
with the interest, would greatly reduce the gift of the Reformed
people. 5th. The people have not expressed them selves in regard
to this proposition, that is not a majority of them. These are my
ideas in regard to thia proposition. If the majority of the people
desire the extension of the main I shall not object to it being done.
At the next meeting I shall not object to the appointment of Mr
Copeland and when the proper steps have been taken to extend
the main, then, and not till then, let it be extended. Mr. Burnett
from this time on, "be sure you are right, then go ahead.

cent cotton has made them prosperous, and today they are
improving their homes, investing in time saving tools, edu-
cating their children and banking their money. Since the
civil war the production of ootton has gradually increased
but the price has not been satisfactory. Whether the great
additional supply, which Oklahoma will furnish, will effect
the present ten cent quotation, despite the endeavors active
associations to maintain it, remains to be seen. One ma)
form a better judgment of the probabilities by a study d
the following table of the production and gross income from
cotton in average figures since the war of the sixties:
First decade, 2,500,000 bales at 24 cents a pound
equal to $300,000,000,
Second decade, 5,000,000 bales at 12 cents a pound
equal to $300,000,000.
Third decade, 10,000,000 bales at 6 cents a pound
equal to $300,000,000.
Fourth decade, 10,000,000 bales, 10 cents a pound
equal to $5oo,000,000.
