These crops had but flvo Inches of
rain during the .growing season. The
ground for Malre Kaflir Corn. Feterita

harrowed before planting. The plant-
ing was done with a-ilstor. These rrops
received four harrowings and were
cultivated onco.
Tried to saw all the moisture possl-
bio by harrowing uftnr each rain. With
thu care my cropst got they would have
doubled the yield with a few inches
more rain but under conditions as-they
were I believe I did very well.

Victim of Holdup.
Rob't Maddrlll of Gray wa tho via-
tint or a lu.ldup last week nt that
place having received a Vnockout blow
from a gun nnd robbed of. $2S0 00. He
was in n serious condition for several
days as tho result of tho attack but nt
wiis umo is recovering. Jt nppars
that during tho day Maddrlll had been
drinking heavily with John Holt and
Otto Randolph and had bought whis-
key from them whereupon they dis-
covered his roll ofmonay That nisht
it is alleged they enticed him to a
teoludcd spot and slugged and robbed
him. After thu robbory thy entered
the store of John Just nt Gray and
demanded cartridges for their guns
Mr. Just was compelled to hand thorn
over at tho point of a gun and with
inelr ammunition tho robbrsfled. Mr
Just nt onco Informed Sheriff Jones
over the. phone and in a short tlmo he
was in hot pursuit apprehending his
men near the river. They were taken
to Gray and given a preliminary hear-
ing before. Justico of tho Peace Taylor
J. W. Culwcll appeared for thedefend-
Bills nnd County Attorney Smith pros-
ecuted the cno. Holt was bound over
to the District Court on charges of
robbery hold-up nnd bootlegging
Randolph proved an nlihi nnd the cae
ngninstjiim wits dismissed Holt is
lodged in tho county Jail awaiting
trial.
Overlooking a Few Oppor-
tunities. Eleven years ago this morning The
Oklahoma!) urged that n railroad bo
built from Oklahoma City to the ndrth-
western part nf the State. It was
pointed out that n largo development
was to take place in that mighty em-
pire of which Woodwaid and Woods
counties form tho bate and that the
products of Northwest Oklahoma would
be marketed in Oklahoma City If truf-
fle arrangements permitted.
To-day thousands of dollars worth of
livestock nnd other products will leave
that section of the State bound where?
To Texas Kansas and on to "the north.
To-morrow other thousands of value
will do tho same. Tho next day will
be a repetition.
Just ho" mnny millions of trade Is
being diverted from Northwest. Okin-
ma to commercial centers outsido of
Oklahoma is not known. Tho amount
would likely bo staggering If we
should bo advised how many cars of
livestock and grnln leave Western Ok-
lahoma to go out of tho State nnd how
many cars of merchandise reach that
section of the Stnto from tho Jobbing
points of tho north nnd east.
Residents of Oklnhoma fity who have
made recent trips through tho re'glon
north and west of us are inclined to
think that $30000000 represents tho
business which wo nro overlooking by
not causing iteel rails to reach tho
north and west.
The Oklahoman rsnows Its sugges-
tion of eleven years ago this morning
that iro build the road this year.
Tho year 1013 is to be Oklahoma's
greatest year. Wo must not let the
year pass into history as tho year in
which $30000000 worth of business
was diverted from Oklahoma City for
the reason that Oklahoma City did not
reach out for it.
Tho business of the northwestern
part of tho State is growing faster than
that of any other section of tho State.
All of which will continue to build
Wiciiltn and Fort Worth and po'ssilily
may coush those'citles to bo as largo ns

From tho Kansas City Stur published
Jan. 15 we clip tho following rcliitivo
to tho extension of tho Wichita Falls
t Northwestern railroad from its prcs
ont terminus at Forgan to Denver:
"According to advices received nt
Syracuso Kan tho extension oi the
Wichita Falls and Northwestern rail-
road from Forgan Ok. its present ter-
minus to Denver is a certainty. Tho
Union Pacific lias refused to handlo
freight In tho future from tho Santa
Fo ltock Island M K. & T. and the
need of these lines for an outlet north-
west to the coast and southeast to Ok-
lahoma City and tho Quit. Is impera-
tive. Tho Wichita Falls Itoute is a
Missouri Kansas t Texas property and
negotiations are now being made in
Denver for terminal facilities.
This Information has caused n stir
in several westorn towns At present
it seems certnin the routo will cross
the Santa Fo main line at Dodge City
Liberal KnnsaB seems tho logical
point for a Junction on the Hock Island
nnd is making a fight for it.
See Hvely The
County Attorney's Explana-
tion. January 23 1013.
KniTon Herald: With tho belief
that tho duty of the oflluials is to rid
tha county of crime rnther than to in-
sist upon mero personal punishment
tho Forgan enses were settled upon
terms which included tho pnyment of
fines amounting to $175.00 nnd costs
tlio dlsusu of the Ford building as a
gambling and bootlegging jpint nnd
the removal from tho county of tho
brains nnd the head of most of tho
gambling nnd bootlegging n Korean.
Tho County Attorney felt nt tho time
tho cases wcro so disposed of mid still
feels that such action was for tho best
interests nf tho county nnd such dispo
sition was not caused by any threats
ngtinst any of the olllcers but were
the terms insisted upon by the olllcers
themselves with tho consent of tho
Court and tho endorsement of soma of
thu best citizens of Forgan who nro
equally anxious ns tho nflluers that
crlmo which lias been pornilttcd to go
unchecked for the past several months
bo speedily ended. Should tho agree-
ment to coast) bootlegging nnd gam-
bling be broken the ollleors have with
the plensof guilty mentis to prosecute
cftVctlvoIy tho root of the evil. Tho
County Attorney does not expect to
plenso everybody nor can ho hope
to l)avo Ills administration Tree from
criticism but he Intends to do exactly
what he thinks Is best for the people
regardless of what vhnv some may tnko
of his actions with tho confidence that
results will speak for themselves. The
ofllcers. namely thu Sheriff and lilr
force and thu County Attorney nru in
hearty accord concerning tho breaking
up of organized criminality nnd fuel
thaf. within the pant three Weeks their
record will show mole results than the
sum total done townrd the enforce-
ment of law in tho past two yeors.
Ci..cik T Smith
County Attorney.
The abovn letter from County Attor-
ney Smith )n reply to an article in last
week's Hi;rlu concerning tho dispo-
sition or the gambling and bootlegging
cases at Forgan thu week previous
may satisfy tho general public that the
right tiling was dono in tho prnsecu
tion of thes cases but wo hardly be-
lieve It will. Tho idea of County
Attorney Smith that ollleials should
"rid tho county of crlmn rather than
to insist upon mere personal punish-
ment" may sound nil right but the
question Is how are they going to do
It? Is it right nnd justico to compro-
mise sucli cases to tho extent of im-
posing merely tho minimum ncnnlt
and permit tho "brains nnd head nf
most of the gambling nnd bootlegging"
to escape without punishment and be
free to follow his career of crime ami
lawlessness In somo other section?
Ofllcials In our opinion are not em-
ployed by counties and stntcs merely
to chase crmllnnls from one border to
another and 'Id TnEin county of crime
at the expense of another section of
tho country. "Tho removal from the
county of the brains nnd head of the
gambling and bootlegging" would hav"
been much more effectual had the
offenders been brought to justico and
given the limit under the law. As it
was tho case was considered merely
a joke nnd tho law-violators and theli
friends nro boasting over the stunt
they pulled off. Tho IIekai.u Is not in
favor of any comprnmiio wltn law vio
lators for n protenso at law enforce-
ment is worse than no effort at nil
The penalty for certain crimes is spec
iflcally snt forth by statutoand when ii
is willfully and flagrantly violated the
punishment should be moteu out ac-
cordingly. The people nrb Urcd of
child's play. The law and Its penult)
is warning nnd compromise enough
Anything less only adds to crlnn and
lawlessness and makes courts and jus-
tico a laughing stock. Secure a few
convictions and impose tho full penal-
ty prescribed by law then such pros-
ecutions will have some terror. We
hnvo no personal fight to make on
bounty .Attorney Smith. Wo are only
interested In seeing tho law enforced
to the letter and In his campaign for
election Mr. Smith promised to do this
to the best of his ability. It looked
like poor Judgment to compromise the
Forgan cases when there seemed to
bo every evidence necessary to convict
and wo were truly surprised that it
wasdono A good strong conviction
In these cases would have dono won-
ders in putting dowp such crime in
this section.
