TWO RAILROADS CHARTERED.
Guthrie, Okla., October g.—Secretary
William Grimes today granted charters
to two new railroads, both of which are
to be built in connection with the Orient
and to be feeders for that system, W.
S. McCaull, of Joiliet, 111., George E.
Smith, J. G Trimble, L. Underwood
and George F. Riehl, all of Kansas
City; G. C. Cowles, of Darrow, Don
Carlos Smith and F. L. Williams, of
Guthrie, are the incorporators of both
new lines and both have their head-
quarters in this city.
The Colorado, Oklahoma Central &
New Orleans Railroad company is in-
corporated with $20,000,000 capital
stock to build a line from Denver to
Trinidad, Colo., and thence southeast,
crossing a corner of New Mexico, and
traversing Beaver, Woodward, Dewey,
Day, Blaine and Woods counties, in
Okla , to a connection at Fairview with
the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient and
the Guthrie, Fairview & Western, in
Woods county.
The Guthrie, Shawnee & Shreveport
Railroad company is chartered with $9,
000,000 capital stock, to build from
Guthrie southeast through Logan, Lin
coin, Oklahoma and Pottawatomie
counties, ia Oklahoma, the Chickasaw,
Creek, Seminole and Choctaw nations,
in the Indian Territory, and across the
eastern end of the State of Texas to
Shreveport, La. In Texas this road
will cross the counties of Fannin, Red
River, Lamar, Hopkins, Franklin. Wood
Titus, Morris, Camp, Upshur, Marion,
Greeg and Harrison.
The completion of such a line would
give the Orient interests a line clear
through from Denver to Shreveport, as
the gap between Guthrie and the Orient
connection in Woods county is filed by
the Guthrie, Fairview & Western backed
by the same people, which is now in
course of construction.
Whiskey is just about knocked out
in Texas, and with a few exceptions
the counties are dry. That old cry
that whiskey will build up a town has
been argued so much and proven other-
wise that it has become stale.—Royse
News.
It is' said that Secretary Wilson
thinks there will be a decrease in the
price of meat products soon. It is well
enough to remember, however, that
the Secretary is not a member of the
directory of any of the packing compan-
ies. Most people are from Missouri
when It comes to such optimistic prop-
hecies as that.—Dallas News.
A CITY MAID.
She came up to the country
But a week or so ago,
This city maid who ne'er had seen
The fields where wild flowers grow;
And when she saw the cat-tails,
She cried, "Oh, do look, quick!
Who ever heard of sausages
A-growing on a stick!"
"So you don't think well of Arctic
exploration?'' "No," answered Mr.
Blizzens, "we know the north pole is
there, and that nobody's going to move
it. If we found it we would'nt have
any use for it anyhow."—Washington
Star.
Aunt Beth: "They say his money is
tainted!" Edith: "Nonsense aunt! I
heard him say he had just cleaned up
another million."—Puck.
Teacher: "Now Johny, in this sen-
tence, 'John shoes the horse,' what does
the horse stand for?" Johny: "Horse
i3 a noun, masculine sender, and stands
for John." Teacher: "Nonsense! How
could that be?" Johny "So that John
could shoe it, of course."
Invalid: "I understand it is quite
drv out here." Bronco William: "Dry?
Why, stranger, it's so dry here that the
rain is wet only on one side."
For playing against a Chicago team
on Sunday the Brantford Le Crosse
team has been expelled from the Cana-
dian La Crosse Association. Sunday
playing is prohibited by the association
rules.
"No foreign power could successfully
assail our seaboard cities. With the
present efficiency of our forts, rendered
impregnable by the fire control system,
sweeping a zone that would bring anni-
hilation to any fleet within range of the
batteries of big guns, the seaboard cities
are safe from foreign invasion," said
Secretary of War Taft.
The Unionist, the local labor organ
published at Muskogee, come out in
an article opposing the adoption of the
Constitution of the proposed State of
Sequoyah. A great many of the Indians
oppose it when they see the drift of the
thing, and in fact it is becoming more
unpopular every day, for that Sequoyah
boom is but a mask, which when torn
off will reveal its skeleton feature.—The
Orphans Home Journal.
War has been declared between the
cotton gamblers—the Bulls and the
Bears. The future of the cotton farmer
will be determined by the victors, and
it behooves every farmer with a bale
of cotton to watch the fight and protect
his interests accordingly. If the price
of the cotton of the South is to be made
by a crowd of high-handed speculators,
trust magnates and silk hat manipula-
tors farmers had better try something
else. We hope that the bulls will win
this fight, for it means hundreds of
thousands of dollars to the farmers of
this country.—Bonham, Texas, News.
The investigation of the affiairs of
the big insurance companies in New
York has brought to light the fact that
some of these companies have contrib-
uted large amounts of policy holders'
money to the Republican, funds, and
not only this, but they have spent large
amounts with the legislatures of various
States to influence legislation in their
favor. If the affairs of other great
corporations could be unveiled, it would
be found that most of them are doing
the same thing. In the light of these
facts, the people can begin to under-
stand more clearly why some laws are
passed and the passage of others in the
interest of the people defeated.—The
Bonham, Texas, News.
