CHOCTAW CONTRACT LET
From Weatherford to Texas
The following from the Arkansas
Gazette in regard to the contract
for the extension of the Choctaw is
of interest :
“The contract for the extension
west from Weatherford of the
Choctaw Oklahoma and Gulf rail-
road was let yesterduy morning to
Johnson Brothers & Faugh t of St
Elmo 111
Work will begin immediately and
it is expected that trains will be
running by Sopteuiber 1st 1901
About 84 miles are included in
this contract and the cost will be
over $1500000
At last the Gazette is enabled to
state authoritatively that the Choc-
taw will build extensions and the
dream of the through line from
coast to const along the thirty-fifth
parallel is a little nearer its realiza-
tion - On December 10tli 1899
the Choctaw began running trains
over 503 miles of track and in less
than six months they expect to
have something over 025 miles in
operation Thus is the Choctaw
rapidly becoming one of the threat
railway systems of the United
States
Johnson Brothers & Faught who
will build the Weatherford exten-
sion are among the largest railroad
contractors in the United States
They were contractors with Mc-
Carthy & Reichardt of this city in
the construction of the Choctaw
from Howo I T to Little Rock
and laid the rails from nowe to a
point about twenty-three miles west
of Little Rock
About 84 miles” is inclu led in
the contract let yesterday and the
cost will exceed $1500000 Their
contr ct requires them to grade this
extension and lay the rails They
are just concluding work on the
Sapulpa extension of the Frisco
railroad and later expect to do
more on that line
Mr B F Johnson senior mem-
ber of the firm arrived in the city
yesterday in his private car “Wan-
derer” and la now at the Choctaw
depot and w ill leave this morning
for Weatherford to superintend the
beginning of the work Machin-
ery and laborers will be rushed to
that point and it is expected to
have trains running by Sept 1st”
Up in North Dakota a man will
bundle up and with the thermom-
eter forty below zero and the wind
palling knots out of the fence
walk ten miles to borrow a pitch-
fork from a neighbor and think
nothing about it in South Dakota
a man will go out and play mum-ble-peg
with the ice six feet thick
and flames froze stiff in the stove
and feel sweaty in Nebraska a man
will work in his shirt sleeves when
the thermometer has just burst and
a Newfoundland dog frozen fast
to the earth and speak of ethereal
mildness In the first state south
in Kansas if the mercury gets be-
low freezing the citizen will wrap
bis legs around the base burner
and want bis wife to carry his
meals to him and in Oklahoma
three small flakes of snow will
stampede a whole town and freeze
the front door shut for twenty-four
hours Why is it?— Ex -

THE TtAfICC-A-WCCK REPUBLIC
Every Monday and Thursday a
newspaper as good as a magazine Fl—
— and better for it contains the
latest bv telegraph as well as inter-
esting stories — is sent to the sub-
scriber of the “Twice-a-Week” Re-
public which is only $1 a yehr
The man who reads the “Twice-a-Week”
Republic knows all about
affaire political domestic and for-
eign events is posted about the
markets and commercial matters
generally
The woman who reads the“Twice-a-
Week” Republio gathers a bit of
valuable information about house-
hold affaire and late fashions and
finds recreation in the bright Bto-
ries that come under both the head-
ings of fact and fiction There is
gossip about new books and a dozen
other topics of especial interest to
the wide-awake man and woman
Mr Link Barr a' snccc sful
Kingfisher county stockman in re-
porting the results of some feed-
ing trials to the experiment station
writes as follows: “I have just fin
ished feeding twenty-six yearling
and 2-year old 6teere They" were
put on feed September 10th last
and were fed ear corn and corn
fodder for roughness During the
last Two months the bunch was
fed nine bushels of shelled corn
and twenty-six pounds of cotton
seed meal per day with corn fodder
for roughness They averaged seven
hundred pounds each September
10 and when I sold them on Janu-
ary 25th they averaged nine hun-
dred and ninety-four pounds I
tried to follow the advice given in
the last annual : “port of the exper-
iment station an the steers made
me $450 per head counting the
hog feed that I got as paying for
the feeding and roughage which
it more than did” Mr Barr’s ex-
perience coincides with that of ex-
perienced feeders everywhere Cot-
ton seed meal fed in proper-amount
pays handsomely and at the same
time hel'M increase the fertility of
the farm
