"Mr. Hughes has unequivocal-

at* regards all other positions he,
and not his opponent, is enti-

The railroads were suffering from

i stagnant. In Louisiana two hundred
thousand acres oi sugar hind were
plowed up because of Democratic
changes in the turiff law. It Is gen-i

that the country was not progressing.
Attempts were made to keep courage
up by the predictions made by Secre-

which were noon to uppear but which

Dennis and Dan Donoghue, of Col-
umbus, Nebraska, subscribers of the
State Register, spent a week In Guth-
rie and left for home Monday night.
They own lands near the Cimarron
Valley oil well and were looking
after their oil interests. They have
full confidence in there being oil in
l gan county.
The Register is in receipt off a pos-
tal card from Captain and Mrs. John
Taylor from Fredrick and Hager
town. Maryland. They seem to be
visiting the battlefields on which
Captain Taylor fought for the Union
in the Civil War, as the postal cards
have the pictures of the statue of
Gen. Meade and a picture of the
home of Barbara Fritchie.
KILLINGS OIL FIELD GROWING.
Elmer McGinley, Jack Tearney and
Ruck Hcrrick were in the Billings Oil
field this week and Mr. McGinley
bought several leases for companies
he represents. "The field is undoubt-
edly a promising one," said Mr. Mc-
Ginley, "hut of course, the develop-
ment is yet to come. One well does
not make an oil field any more than
one swallow makes a spring. Men
grow wild on prospect, but it takes
development to make paying value."
The now well is within two miles
and a half of Jack Tearney s four
hundred acres and Jack is liable to
grow into value beyond calculation.
Railroads from Bartlesville and points
In Kansas are planning to enter the
field which shows that it is consider-
ed another "pool."
