for some time are now neanng

The new cotton gin in the
neighWhood of the Frisco depot
will soon be completed. It em-
braces four separate buildings and
will be eotiipjied with the latest
machinery.
Good progress is being made on
the elevator of the Chickasha
Miiling Co. The improvements
which this company is making
represent a large out lay or capi-
tal. The frame work of the new
structure js in place and the work
isbciag place is being pushed
rapidly.
On Chickasha auenue the fine
three-story building erected by
Whitman Bros known as Sch utter
building is almost completed. The
exterior work is practically all
finished and only some inside work
remains. The building takes its
name from the Schutler estate to

AGE OF GROWING SPEED
Speed is likely to be the great-
est discovery of the twentieth
century. Indeed motion especialy
adapted to transportation seems
to be our greatest aim. We still
remember the thrill with which we
heard of the sixty-mi!e-an-hour
train. It was nothing hort of
wonderful. Then came seventy mi-
les and ninety miles. Early this
year a railroad between Man-
chester and Liverpool England
put the record up to 1 10 miles an
hour. We had hardly become ac-
customed to this hardly passed the
stage of regarding it as a freak
when from Germany came the
news that on the Marienfeld-Zose;i
military road an electric car made
a speed of over 125 miles an hour.
The news came with the statment
that even higher records were ex-
pected an expectation that was
realize a few days later in the high-
est record yet obtained.

WILD CAT FOR ROOSEVELT
President Roosevelt has received
by express from Georgia a full-
grown wild cat. The barred cage
containing the animal was deliver-
ed at the White House and the
servants and employes of the man-
sionjgave it a wide berth. The pres-
ident has no use for a wild cat and
it has peen presented to the author-
ities of the national zoo park.
D. C. Holaway who has been on
a business trip through Indiana and
Illinois returned today and was
glad to get back to our mild

Raihoad rumors have been
plentiful of late but so for every-
thing is up in the air. Nothing
sufficiently definite is known to
warrant any report on it.
STILL HORSE CARS IN

dering electric locomotives weigh-

by horses are still crawlin through
certain thoroughfares in the
borough of Manhattan. Ex.
