Preparing His
Message.
A dispatch from Guthrie
in the Wichita Daily Eagh'
on Dec. 7th says: Governor
T. B. Ferguson is now busily
engaged on the preparation
of his message to the legisla-
ture which will convene in
that city January 10.
The message with the re-
ports of the various depart-
ments of the territorial gov-
ernment will inform the leg-
islative body thoroughly as
to conditions. About the
only legislation which the
governor will urge will be an
act extending the herd law to
Beaver county,
The farmers of Beaver
county complain that their
crops are destroyed by the
stock. When the law was
passed it was supposed that
Beaver county would never
be a farming country and did
not need the herd law, but
since that time the people
are taking up land for farm-
ing. The governor cannot
see why the people of that
cpyijty cannot have herd law
if they desire it.
It may develope that some
changes m the quarantine
law will be needed. At the
time the law was passed it
did not apply to some of the
territory of Oklahoma be-
cause it conflicted with con-
tracts entered into between
the government and cattle-
men but those contracts have
expired by limitation and
the territory is now free to
make any regulations for the
protection of the live stock
that do not conflict with the
guarantee laws of the United
States,
EXCHANGE ITEMS,
It is observed that all parts
of Oklahoma is now awake
to the importance of irriga-
tion . A few years ago no-
body in Oklahoma would
have listened to a man talk
irrigation. Then the people
were touchey about their
climate,—State Capital.
The chief engineer's office
of the Rock Island System
has been ordered to furnish
grades of a proposed road by
that system running from
Ayard in Woods county te
Guymon and then to Dawson
view, and it is a fact that
civil engineers representing
the Rock Island System have
been in Guymon within the
past ten days looking up
matters in line with the
above suggestion,—Guymon
Herald,
John Taylor 'and Miss
Stella Perkins, of Beaver
county, O.T., were married
yesterday at the office of
judgo of the probate court,
Judge Mendenhall officiat-
ing.—Ashland Clipper,
Beaver cit3r people have
been holding meetings and
discussing the best means of
obtaining a railroad to the
city. Various suggestions
were made, but it seems that
the most plausible was that
of Judge J, Blanchard, who
believed that the road, if ex-
tended from Englewood,
would be the most practical
proposition. — beaver Jour-
nal.
Rumors are afloat that
curves on the Rock Island
will be straightened and that
several towns on the road
will be several miles from the
road after the work is fin-
ished. The olianges will be
made to get rid of the big
curve at Arkalon, Kansas
which will necessitate a
change in the road bed for
several miles east ajul west of
the Cimarron. jGuympn
Herald.
lawyer Moon returned
Monday from a week's trip
to Hooker, Beaver county.
Business is lively out there
m
he says. The people are
getting enthused over the
prospects of irrigation for
Beaver in the near future.
J. S. Morris, of Hooker, was
a delegate to the Irrigation
Convention. Beaver county
has an appropriation of $2,-
700,000 and an excellent op-
.
portunity to use it to good
advantage. Beaver county
is alive to her opportunity.
—Woodward News.
Last Friday morning just
as the men were about to be-
gin dipping cattle at J. F.
Fuest's vanch, the steam
boiler, used for heating dip,
exploded. The bottom of the
boiler gave way and the pres-
sure of the steam caused the
machine to be blown a dis-
tance of 200 feet from its lo-
cation at the dipping vat. J,
F. Fuest, the three Crothers
in New Mexico, where the brothers and C. W.Miller
Rock Island owns coal mines, j had been up nearly all night
This does not mean that the
road will be built within 30
or 60 days, but it goes to
show that the Rock Island
System has such a line in
keeping up steam that every-
thing might be ready for
dipping early in the morning
but their labors were made
futle by the explosion of the
bpiler. Fortunately no one
was injured, The men scat-
tered on various errands at
the time of the .explosion and
no one was nearer than 20 or
30 feet. The men are to be
congratulated ior the escape
from what might have been
a serious accident.^Liberal
News.

est of Tyrone, Whenever

ial to the business interests

conclusive proof will be pro-
duced.
