About Railroads.
In a recent newspaper summary
of the rail road prospects for Okla-
homa during ,904 much of interest
to Mangum and Greer county is
shown. The first road mentioned is
the ti Paso & Northern, chartered
from El Paso, Texas, to St. Louis
partly surveyed.
-Vext is the Kansas & Oklahoma 1J '
Central, from Peru Junction. Kan- J U1T1
sas, to Kirkland, Texas, said to be - ^ ' -
a Missouri Pacific project. It is
surveyed to Guthrie.
Then comes the St. Louis, El
Reno and Southwestern, which is
now built from Guthrie to El Reno,
All these lines will strike Greer
county and it is thought that their
construction will begin soon. Man-
gum should not lose sight of these
rail road doin's.

SINGLE STATEHOOD GAINING.
The project for a union of Okla-
homa and Indian territory and their
admission as a single state is gain-
ing ground Ex-Goveroor C ' M
Barnes came provisionally and tem-
porarily over to the single state-
hood side recently, and many other
prominent persons who were here-
tofore against it, it is said, are
•haul to nuke a similar move. Jn
an address made recently at the
•eventb annual meeting of the Ok-
lahoma Bankers' association the
ex governor pointed out that the
I'lisiiiesn interests of the two terri-
tones had already so interwoven as
to admonish us that as soon as con-
ditions can be adjusted as toe.itial-
burdcn" nn<l benefits w.- should
join hands in one organization in-
Htead of two.
Of course the accession of the
ex governor to the ranksof the un-
ionists would, if lie should remain
with them, help the statehood
movement. It would show that
there is a general drift among the
p'oiniiient men of the two lerrito
ties iu favor of consolidation and
this would have u tendency to gain
11 little more attention for the proj
