Uncle Jim Walker
J. W. (Uncle Jim) Walker was
in town Friday and informed
the editor that he is now repre-
senting one of the best farm
loan companies in the west, and
stated that anyone wanting mon-
ey on their farm could get it of
him as quickly or quicker than
elsewhere. There are few bet-
ter known or more reliabie men
to be found than Uricle Jim, and
we are glad to see that his worth
is recognized by men of capital.
His card appears in this issue,
and when you want to borrow
money, see Uncle Jim. He has
went on your notes and loaned
you money without security
many a time, and now that he
has an opportunity to make a
few dimes himself, give him
show.
Railroad Company.
Muskogee, Okla., March 17.
Justice W. G- Miller will, lues-
day. call the hearing of the suit
brought, against the Katy rail-
road by ex-Governor C. N. Has-
k«l, Judge Thomas H. Owen and
Colonel J. C. Stone, to recover
the sum of $5.10, the difference
between two and three cents per
mile for transportation from
Muskogee to Oklahoma City pur-
chased by the three plaintiffs.
The suit was filed in the justice
court because of the sum invol-
ved, and is in the nature of a
test case to ascertain whether
or not the charge per mile for
transportation can be fixed un-
der the constitution of the state
by legislative enactment. C. N.
Haskel, one of the plaintiffs in
the action, stated Monday night
that the suit will be taken to
the highest court in the land
provided the railroad company
wishes to make as strenuous a
fignt as that, and declared there
will be no compromise on the
part of the plaintiffs in the act-
ion.
It is to be a test suit, and if
it is won by tne three plaintiffs
the position taken by Governor
Lee Cruce in vetoing the recent
measure passed by the legisla-
ture to permit the railroads to
a charge two and one fourth cents
j per mile, will be vindicated.

to reduce taxes is at home."
There is lots of truth in Govern-
all officers to seize the stuff when
it shows up in larger amounts
than one gallon packages.
Tha whiskey seized by the of-
ficers embraced one case of
forty-eight pints, and two pack-
ages each containing three ofle
gallon jugs. They hardly
thought it reasonable that a man
would buy six gallons of the
stuff in pint bottles for his own
use, as the price in that shape is
more than if it all came in one
container.
The seizure was made under
a search warrant issued by Jus-
tice Messmore. and the whiskey
is now being held by him await-
ing instructions from County At-
torney Garrett
It is reported here that about
eighty gallon of whiskey has
been seized under this ruling at
Mangum, and recent dispatches
state that Lawton officers captur-
ed over 300 gallons at one time.
Medical Association
The semi-monthly meeting ot
the Greer County Medical assoc-
iation was herd yesterday after-
noon at the Reformatory hospi-
tal. The program was a lengthy
and interesting one, including
various operations performed by
Drs. DeArman, Border, Pinnell,
Campbell and Nunnery which
were observed with interest by
the members of the association.
The meeting closed with a ban-
quet served in officers' mess
hall, at which Dr. Neil of Man-
gum acted as toastm^ster.

Those childlike deciples accepted
what he said as true but there
are those today who question
everything that is not, as they
say, logical. Contradictions of
Christ's resurrection are cur-
rent and the man who puts his
faith in God canhot silence
them by appealing to the his-
toric record. The critics say
that is a myth. The question
for Christians today is not what
took place in Palestine nineteen
hundred years ago but this:
whether Christ is alive today?
Here Science comes in to estab-
lish the Christian declaration
that he is alive. It asserts the
Conseruation of energy. None
is ever lost, it can not be an-
nihilated. If the doctaine of the
scientists is true in the lower
forms it must hold good in the
higher. Then Death is only to
the mortal and when the man
sees Christ triumphant in death
then should his fnars fly away.
Jesnssays. "He that doeth the
will of God adideth forever."
Death will arrest that which
is moatal and liberate the im-
mortal to fields of greater ser-
vice, because Christ has risen
and lives forevermore and for
that reason we also shall live
and bear his image and likeness
PROSPECT IS
BRIGHTENING
Probability of Big Granite
Company Taking Hold of
Old Oklahoma Quarries.
Robert C. Bennet of Chicago,
formerly of Granite, and one of
the owners of the Oklahoma
quarries on West Mountain ave-
nue, was here this week looking
after business interests.
Mr. Bennett states that he and
his partners are now cn a deal to
dispose of their quarry property
here to a large eastern granite
company who will again open up
the business on a scale commen.
surate with the great possibilities
for which our granite is destined.
While the deal has not yet
been closed, Mr. Bennet appears
to think that the company mean
business, and if they do they
"will go into it right", as he ex-
presses it.
Mrs. Bennett accompanied her
husband, and both she and Mr.
Bennet enjoved pleasant visits
with their old friends. While
here they were the guests of Mr.
and Mrs. P. W. Raemar.
Better Use the Postoffice
Agent Kurtenbach requests
the Enterprise to state that due
to a "call down" from the trav-
eling auditor, he can no longer
accept loose mail at the depot.
Persons wishing to do so can
stili hand their letters to the
mail clerks as the tram passes,
but it is far better to get your
mail to the postoffice a few min-
utes before train time. The de-
pot agent is not allowed to han-
dle loose mail, as that is a vio-
lation of postal regulations.

To Increase Output.
Schuyler Powell, of Michigan
City Ind., owner of the South-
western quarries at Granite,
paid a short visit to his plant
here the first of the week. He
left Monday for St. Louis, where
he goes to attend a sheriff's sale
of quarrying machinery, and ex-
pects to send what he purchases
to Granite. Mr. Powell is opti-
mistic over the outloek here, and
says that he expects to greatly
increase the output of the plant
here this year. He also express-
ed himself as well satisfied with
the manner in which his fore-
man, Captain John Pellow, has
conducted the plant.
