mineral water, to exploit which the
city voted the money for the bath-
house construction. That this chris-
tening be a feature of the opening

program Ered L. Wenner, Mrs. Ke-
becca Finch, C. M. Harchet, John 8.
►Shearer and Airs. Wui. U. Ale rod.
The dedicatory exercises will con-

reception, the building being then op-
ened, for inspection, to ull comers.
From four o'clock until live, an auto-
mobile parade will be held, but the
visitors will In- in the parade instead
of the home people. The city is to
be gaily decorated. Jf the weather
permits, a short program will be given
at five o'clock at Mineral Wells park.
In the evening a banquet will be
served, perhaps at the city hall audi-
torium, and an elaborate toast pro-
gram will Oe given, wherein respon-
ses will lie given by the leading
official* of the state, leading church-
men, commercial club officers, physi-
cians, bathhouse experts, municipal
ownership enthusiusts, leading base-
bull pluyers uud other alhletes and
leaders us well in other lines. One
of the slute's biggest iiieu will be
usked to preside as toustmaster. It
will be a municipal ownership ban
quet.
The dedicatory address fit the bath-
house in the ufternoon, if present
plans materialise, will be given by
one of the most pfominent newspaper
men of the West, a specialist on
municipal ownersliip. The city offi-
cials have been asked to declare a
holiduy and to adorn the city in its
very best "party" costume for that
occasion.

WOULD HE WELL, IN COTTON MAT-
TERS, IF OKLAHOMA LAW
WAS LIKE THAT OF TEXAS,
SAYS WEST.
In regard to the recent order, is-
sued by Attorney General Loonsy of
Texas, directing cotton seed oil m 11
owners to dispose of all their cotton
gin holdings, Attorney General Chas.
J. West, of Oklahoma said today:—
*Tn this regard tbe law in Okla-
homa is not the same as in Texas.
Perhaps, so far as these matters arc
concerned, it would be well if it was
so. In Tens, corporations are for-
bidden to have more than a single
purpose. That is, a pipe line com-
pany cannot be a refiner of oils;
a pipe line company, that is a trans-
porter of oil, cannot be a purchaser
of oiL It can only oe one of the
three. So a cotton ginning com-
pany cannot be a cotton purchasing
company or a cotton oil company.*
Relative to the Logan county cotton
cases, wherein William II. Coyle was
acquitted by a diatrict court jury
here, last summer, ou a charge of
conspiracy to raise the price of cus-'
ra giaaiag, Mr. West aaid today:—
"As aooa as 1 can get the court
reporter to complete the case-made 1
ill £le a petition in error in the
maisal court of appeals and move
to advance it on the docket aud hope
to get the matter decided. It will
oe useless to take up the other cot-
ton cases, pending at Guthrie, until
I can get this decided. If District
Judge Huston of Guthrie is correct in
his view of the law given in the in-
structions to the jury and in the ex-
clusion of evidence, it would seem
to be useless to pursue this matter
further."
West in appealing the Coyle case
seeks to get the high court decision
and interpretation of the state's anti-
trust law, and to have Huston's jury
instructions set aside as not the. law.
ENGLISH CAPITALISTS LOOKING
OVER MOUNTAIN VALLEY &
PLAINS RAILROAD PROJECT.
English capitalists, in company with
officers of the Mountain Valley &
Plains railroad, chartered with $500,-
000 capital stock in February, 1909,
are going over the proposed route of
this line between Guthrie and Des
Moines and Cimarron, N. M., to make
an estimate of the probable tonnage
the road would carry and the cost of
construction. An engineer is with the
purty. It is understood that the
money to build the road is forth-
coming, provided the reports on the
present tour of insjiections are satis-
factory.
The information reached Guthrie,
early this year, from the president
of the Mountain Valley & Plains that
the preliminary arrangements for tho
buildinsr of the road were about com-
pleted. From Cimarron, , N. M., the
road was chartered to build eastward
through Dalhart, Claredon and Hig-
gins, Texas, and through the Okla-
homa towns of Arnett, Taloga, Wa-
tonga and Kingfisher to Guthrie. Dur-
ing the summer of 1909 the citizens of
Guthrie raised a bonus of $75,000 for
this road, Taloga, $23,000, Halhart,
$125.00, and several other towns and
citi^ raised smaller amounts. Talogu,
a town of 500 people, raised $25,000
in a few hours.
The Mountain Valley & Plains is
a railroad project with an interesting
history. A few years ago there wttrs
a number of young people in Ohio,
well known as church workers, who
desired homes in a country where the
field of action would not be so circum-
scribed. For their benefit n colony
was established at what now is
Amisted, N. M. The colony grew and
prospered and began to feel the need
of a direct outlet for its products
to market. The meu at the head of
the colony investigating the proposi-
tion, decided that it was feasible and
the Mountain Valley & Plains road
was born.
H. S. Wunnamaker of Amisted is
at the head of both the colony aud
the railroad company, and he expects
to make the railroad, eventfully, as
successful as has been the colony
The unique feature of the colony is
that only church members are ad
mitted. The entire project is under
the auspices of the Congregational
church, but membership in the colony
is not restricted to that denomination.
Members of any recognized church are
received.
CLEARED OF KILLING
FORMER HUSBAND.
Snyder, Okla., Nov. 12.—With her
attorney demanding trial and not a
dismissal, Mrs. Annie D. Rogers, was
nevertheless set free in tlie Kiowa
county district court on the motion
of County Attorney Griffith to dismiss
the case. She was indicted in May,
1912, on a charge of poisoning and
killfng her former husband, Perry
Griffin, a prominent farmer, oil Feb-
ruary 10, 1909. Mrs. Rogers desired
u trial that would give full vindica-
tion, but the county attorney insisted
on dismissal, declaring that ull of
the prosecution's material witnesses
have left the state.
