GREAT INCREASE MADE BY STATE

Little Incidents and Accident* hat Go

of a Great Common-

Oklahoma City.—Oklahoma's popu-
lation July 1, iyl4, was 2.027.0UO as
against 1,657,155 in 1910. according to
an estimate of the census bureau of
the federal department of commerce.
This means that in four years the pop-
ulation of the state increased 369,845,
and that the number of manufacturing
establishments in the state—each hav-
ing an annual output valued at more
than $500—increased in the period
from 1909 to 1914 from 2,310 to 2,518,
or 9 per cent.
The estimate dwells chiefly on man-
ufactures and indicates that the per-
centages of increase were as follows:
Materials, 108.8; value of products,
90; capital, 68 .4; value added by man-
ufacture, 58.9; salaries, 56.6; wages,
B2.1; primary horsepower, 36.8; wage
earners, 3C.7; salaried employees, 27.4;
and number of establishments, 9 per
cent.
The capital invested in manufactur-
ing as reported in 1914 was $65,478,000,
and $38,873,000 in 1909. The average
to the establishment was $26,COO in
1914 and $17,000 in 1909.
The cost of materials used amounted
to $70,970,000 in 1914 and $36,817,000
in 1909, while the average cost of ma-
terials per establishment in 1914 was
$28,000, and $15,000 in 1909.
The value of products made in the
state in 1914 totaled $102,006,000 in
1914, and five years previous was only
$53,682,000. The average per estab-
lishment $41,000 in 1914 and $23,000
in 1909.
The value added by manufacture—
the difference between the value of the
raw material and finished product—■
was $31,036,000 in 1914 and $19,529,000
in 1909.
Salaries and wages of people en-
gaged in manufacture in 1914 totaled
$14,213,000 and in 1909 was $9,285,000;
the number of salaried employees in
1914 was 2,793 and 1909 was 2,193; the
average number of wage earners was
37,443 in 1914 and 13,143 in 1909.

Escapades.
Alpine, Texas.—Villa bandits, some
seventy in number forded the Kio
CJrande and, sweeping fifteen miles in-
land on American soil, raided tlie little
settlement of Glenn Springs and at-
tacked a detachment of American cav-
alry, consisting of nine men of Troop
A, of the fourteenth cavalry.
Three troopers and a little ten-year-
old boy were killed, two cavalrymen
were wounded and another is missing.
He is believed to be a prisoner of the
bandits who are now fleeing south-
ward into Coahuila, Mexico.
Americans Carried Away.
Two American citizens, J. Deemer
and a man named Compton, accord-
ing to reports received here, were car
ried across the Rio Grande and re-
ports have it that their throats have
been cut. A posse of fifty citizens
of Marathon went in pursuit of the
Villistas.
The dead troopers are William Co-
hen, New York City; Steven J. Co
lock, New York City, and L&wren**
K. Rogers, Danville, Ky. The uiissiiia
trooper is Roscoe Tyree. The little
boy is the son of Compton. He was
deaf and dumb and the bandits are
thought to have killed him in rage
because he could not answer their
Questions.
Two Badly Wounded.
Two troopers, Privates J. Brick and
Frank Defree, were badly wounded.
Brick's body was filled with small
brass pieces of tacks fired from a shot-
gun. Defree was burned about the
head and shoulders.
The main body of fifty to seventy
mounted Mexican bandits forded the
Kio Grande at Boquillas, and swept
into the little settlement, shouting
"death to the gringoes." The bandits
surrounded the mercantile store of
J. Deemer and after looting the place,
set It on fire. Deemer and a clerk
named Compton were seized and
bound. The bandits packed their loot
on their horses and after setting one
or two small frame houses ablaze,
galloped away northward.
Small Band Encountered.
Fifteen miles over the mountainous
country the body of bandits made their
way, heading toward Marathon and
in their night ride they came upon
Glenn Springs, where a small detach-
ment of nine cavalrymen under com-
mand of Sergeant Smyth, of troop A,
fourteenth cavalry was stationed.
On the dash from their tent, Smyth
and Crosken had lost their revolvers,
having been forced to retreat to the
adobe houses half clothed because of
the rapid approach of the Mexicans.
The bandits poured constant fusillade
of shots at the window and door of the
adobe house. Not an American cav-
alryman fell In the exchanges.
The little band of nine men took
turns shooting from the window.
Bloodstains on the dry ground around
the house furnished the only evidence
that the bandits suffered in the attack
but Sefgeant Smyth believes that
seven or eight bandits were killed and
some were wounded. For three long
hours the fight went on.
Mexicans Organized.
The Mexicans fought in skirmish
formation. That was proof to Smyth's
eyes that he was dealing with a mili-
tary body. The attackers' horses were
tethered some distance to the rear
and the brigands maintained their at-
tack on three sides of the house.

Patchouli for Moth Prevention.
The fragrant dried roots of the
patchouli, reports Special Agent Gar-
rard Harris, are held In great esteem
in Porto IUco, and it is the general be-
lief in the island that when placed
among clothing and in closets they are
a sure preventive of moths. In the
earlier days of the century the per-
fume of patchouli was in great favor.
It Is believed that, if the properties
of patchouli were more generally
known, there would be a demand for
It in the United States in preference
to moth balls It should have as much
voguo as lavender for putting between
sheets and placing among garments;
and If it were manufactured or
shredded into a finer substance and
sold In small bags, it would be a de-
cided novelty that undoubtedly would
prove popular. Great quantities of it
grow wild fti Porto Rico, and a demand
tor it from the United States would
afford employment to many of the poor
country people. In Porto Rico natives
bring the patchouli to town and sell It
in small bundles that retail at two to
five cents.
GLASS OF WATER
Upset Her.
Mr. Jarrett agreed to give the state a
bonus of $2,700 in oil and $300 cash,
and on the other lease he agreed to
give $675 in oil and $375 in cash.
