Two Happenstances
It happened one time that a res-
ident of a very cold coutry be-
came possessed of a very fine pair
of shoes and an equally fine pair of
nice warm sox He had been used 1
to wearing the skins of animals for I
a foor covering consequently had'
no idea how to wear the new-fan- I
gled foot-gear presented to him)
A wise guy however who thought I
he was a big cheese and knew it I
showed him He put on the
shoes then carefully pulled the
sox on over them And verily as
he walked over the snow and ice
and his feet waxed cold and holes !
wore in the sox he cussed loud and
long and condemned them as no
good But a pilgrim came alohg I
and saw his dilemma and remarked
"Surely fellow you have' a good
thing but you dontknow how to
use it" And straightway he show-
him the whichness of wearing the
sox inside the shoes and all was
well
And it came to pass in another
province called Cherokee that
certain high-grade and cosily en-
gines were bought by the popu-
lace In this case likewise an-
other wise guy was in the land and
he forthwith installed them he-
hindside backwards so that in-
stead of working they developed
a severe case of mechanical appen-
dicitis within themselves and the
populace not knowing the true in
wardness of things tore their hair
and rent their clothes and cried
with a loud °vice " Verily they
are punk they are no good we
will fire 'em" But along came a
pilgrim who had much knowledge
of these affairs and he looked and
laughed as he remarked "Verily
you have a good thing but do
not know it for while an engine
will pull a train of many cars nev-
will a train of many cars pull an
engine Install them as intended
and you have a prize" And veri-
ly it was done and the people were
exceeding happy and well pleased
SHALL WE ACT?
Here is Where we are at—
Shall we Sleep or go Ahead?
Time to Act Now
Vrom Tuesday's Daily
The meeting of citizens and bus-
iness men called for last evening
at the opera house to look into
the light and water question did
not materialize- greatly as to num-
bers the notice given being rather
short but it proved an interesting
session to those present Super-
intendent JC Cornelius of the wat-
er and light plant at Perry was in
attendance and presented figures
that were food for thought and
we hear them much commented up-
on today He has got at the ker-
nel in the shell—right down to
clean statement of conditions as
they exist and there is no way but
to meet them as they are all Jain
hands for the good of the best city
In northern Oklahoma and deter-
mine to right matters as speedily
as possible
Cornelius is known as a consult-
ing and practical engineer of wide
and successful experience His la-
test triumph is the taking of the
city plant at Perry which was run
down to almost a wreck in the
hole financially and going in faster
and further but now after being
entirely remodel'd and overhauled
and some business sense injected
into its handling it is not only out
of debt but is making money for
the city and is known as one of
the best appointed plants in this
part of the state
As to the present gas engines at
the plant Mr Cornelius says they
will do absolutely all that was
claimed ' for them but they must
have a chnace which they have
not yet had he is confident that
with intelligent installation and
proper handling he can show them
to exceed the guarantee The peo-
ple are misinformed regarding
them In themselves the engines
are all right but through the faul-
ty designing of the plant they have
not been able to show their abli-
ty Speaking of the advantage of
a gas plant over steam he made a
practical demonstration of the ef-
ficiency and ability of both He
'showed that one pound of coal in
a steam equipment would devel-
op practically one-fourth horse
power hour and also showed the
efficiency of the best steam equip-
ment to range from 7 to 10 per
cent Plus showing a waste of 90
per cent of energy in a steam
outfit
With the gas machine the same
one pound of coal would do eight-
tenths horse power hour showing

It's a good deal cheaper to build good weather-proof
sheds than it is to buy new machinery The elements
will injure an expensive machine in one season more than
the wear it gets from legitimate use
Of course you know that as well as we do If you
have a costly machine that's standing out in the field or
the barn yard get it under cover We are this week
selling good common boards at prices that will make it
very much to your advantage to settle the shed question

3-10 per cent against 7 to 10 per
cent in the steam outfit He also
cent in the steam outfit He also
showed that one man could manage
more than double the power with
gas equipment than with steam
thus effecting a savving in Wages
- In summing up Mr Cornelius
made the following recommenda-
tions: That the city absorb the old
old light plant at a reasonable fig-
ure That a new electric transmission
system be installed orerthe city
which will comprise '8 miles of poles
and 27 miles of copper wire
If the present equipment fills
the guarantee then remodel and
enlarge it so that when complete
there shall be one 200 horse power
engine one 80 hore-power engine
one 150 KW alternator one 60 KW

lator tp have sufficient capacity to
run the city approxtnately 18

THEY WALK OUT
Three More Prisoners Get Out
Of the Jail
From Saturday's Daily
Three more jail birds all from
Alfalfa county are at liberty The
door was left open no the three
took a walk and have not yet re-
turned They did not even leave a
card of thanks so the sheriff does
not know where to go to call on
them Why the rest o: the pris-
oners did not take a stroll is a
matter of conjecture Says those
Alfalfa people had better lariat out
their criminals at home for we just
can't keep them here They even
walk right out when the door is
left open Such ingratitude as
this should be punished by con-
finement when they are caught
We are not going to criticize for
when they go three at a time it's
past the criticizing stage--Alva

A New Town
From Saturday's Daily
West Cherokee is a new town
likely to spring up in Alfalfa
county if a few promotors succeed
in getting hold of a certain sec-
tion of land The object is to lay
out a townsite on the Rock Island
railroad west of Cherokee and to
give the new town the name of
West Cherokee A fight will then
be made for the court house The
county commissioners having the
power to select the court house
eight the new promoters WEI carry
the fight into the coming election
and try to elect a commissioner
in both the north and south ends
who will favor their :move We
understand the deal is so far along
that the wise heads at Cherokee
are re-organizing for the battle--

As Chairman Love Sees It
"It is not surprising to me that
the Santa Pe and Katy have asked
the federal courts at Enid for an
Injunction to prohibit the Oklaho-
ma state officers from enforeing
this Commission's orders making
reductions in freight rates and the
two-cent fare
The history of railroad litigation
illustrates to my mind very clear-
ly that railroads regard the fed-
eral courts as a safe refuge when
they are required to 4'be good"
or when the State's rights are at
issue In the past railroad law-
yers rendered very "learned" and
"profound" opinions on confisca-
tion of property and unremunera-
tive rates Railroad auditors sub-
' mitted approximated figures on
segregated "intrastate" earnings
and expenses which these federal
judges usually accept as absolute-
ly accurate and make their decis-
ions accordingly
The chief officers of the railroad
accounting depaittnents in giving
their testimony before is Com-
mission have repeatedly sworn that
it is impossible to accurately sep-
arate the state revenue and expen-
ses from the interstate or from
entire line business yet federal
judges have been fooled on figures
bassed upon mere estimates
Sworn reports of revenues and
'expenses covering the entire line
business disclose that the year 1909
luts been the best year for net
earnings ever experienced by rail-
roads excepting only the banner
year ending June 30 1907
Per example the Katy railroad
for the fiscal year ending June 30
1909 after paying the entire oper-
ating expenses and after allow-
ing for all accrued taxes shows
a net operating income or $6666-
19986 as against $61633189 lor the
previous year 1908 an increase
thils year of over one-half million
dollars This in face of the fact
that this year t4eir taxes showed
an Increase of $26192695 or 6144
per cent
Instead of isssuing stocks or
bonds for the purpose the Katy
has appropriated from surplus and
expended from its current earn-
earnings $1190000000 for new equip
ment and addiitions and better-
ments to its property This does
not ' include its every day main-
tenence expense which has been
provided for in the operating
expenses but it does include the
new equipment for its much adver-
tised new train the 'Katy Limit-
ed new eighty-five pound rails
new yard tracks new depots re-
newing wooden trestles with con-
crete and the work of reducing
grades between Atoka Oklahoma
and Red River The people of Ok-
lahoma have 'paid the freight' it
does not come out of the pockets
of the "poor" stock and bond holl-
ers Now the poor old struggling
"Santa Pe"—the road that ruled
supreme before the days of state-
hood—after deducting its entire
operating expenses and allowing
for all accrued taxes it shows' a
net operating income of $28771-
97449 for the fiscal I year ending
June 30 1909 as against $24802574-
97 for the previous year 1908—an
increase for the present year of
nearly four million dollars
It is indeed pitiable to witness the
Santa Fe praying for the federal
courts to relieve it from unremun-
erative rates Poor old strugt
gling Santa Fe paying regular five
per cent dividends and now has
over twenfy million dollars of un-
appropriated surplus in its treas-
ury wants the federal courts to
declare that its property is being
confiscated
I would advise the people of the
State to inspect pages 645 and
662 of the first annual report of
the Corporation Commission and
thereby be further informed con-
cerning the "Katy" and Santa Pe
Oklahoma is constantly growing
and the sworn monthly reports
rendered to the Commission show
that the net earnings of railroads
are constantly growing
The railroad "tenderfoot" 'will
find that the fight in Missouri and
Arkansas was mighty tame when
compared with the fight that we
Oklahoma "woolies" are prepared
to make
