the southern states are r-culiai!y
adapted to the produc:t'..n of long
and strong fiber while much of
the cotton grown abroad is of an
inferior grade.
The farmers of cotton growing
states have an industry in cotton
farming that is extremely profitable
but one that is confronted with
two great problems namely the
boll weevil and maintenance of
soil fertility. The former will no
doubt be mastered by scientists.
The latter can be solved largely by
better crop rotations in which the
legumes figure largely and keeping
more live stock. K. C. World.

With the limited revenue she has
had Chickaslia has done wonders
in the way of muncipal improve-
ments. In 1 903 the school build-
ings were completed and during the
present year waterworks and
sewerage. The next great effort
must be directed toward street im-
provement grading drawing pav-
ing building sidewalks and cross-
ings. As soon as the council gets
the waterworks problems in hand
it should turn its attention to these
matters.
The completion of the water
works should be a matter of pride
to Chickaslia. They have cost a
large sum of money and represent
many days of labor on the part and
especially the water committee
Much yet remains to be done to get
the system on a self-sustaining ba-
sis. This is what the committee
has undertaken to accomplish. It
is a great undertaking that if the
men in charge can succeed in doing
it they will have done something
worthy to make them remembered.
The water committee believes in
doing things. They have taken
action to give the city protection
from fire and to supply water where
Ihe demand is urgent. The oper-
ation of the waterworks is too im-
portant a matter to allow it to drag
along while all the perplexing
problems are being settled. Now-
let the council s?et busy and make
jiermauent arrangements for run-
ning the system on the safest and
most economical basis.
Ti': eater goers will be glad to
learn ot the improvements that the
opera house is undergoing and
gladder to know that the manage-
ment intends to preserve order in
the house. More people will go to
the opera houe and the change
will prove profitable to the proprietors.
Chickaslia has made great pro-
gress this year toward Incoming a
cotton center and cotton is' still
coming.
At Ardmore cotton is always
"the fleecy staple" which of
course i a very poetic term.

Receive Injuries No
Lives Lest.
A serious head-on collision oc-
rred on the Rock Island about
ur o'clock this morning between
57"'-
El Reno and Okarche.
Fast freight No 0: north -bo r.r. I.
collided with an extra south bound
consisting of engine ani caboose.
Both trains were rur.nirg about 1
twenty-five miles'an hour. The
smash-up came at the blind siding
at Concho.
When the engine crews saw
that the crash was coming they
sought to escape by jumping. En
gineer Keegan on the extra jump
ed and broke his ankie. Erakemarj
Brooker on the extraeceived face
;ur:es. crafceman Kitchen on
x 26 had both legs and arms in
jured. None of the other trainmen
received ir ' cries ot consequence.
Fireman Powell on the extra had
is face and shoulder bruised.
Conductor Buck was in charge
f No. 86 and Conductor Patterson
was on the extra. The blame of
the collision has not been located.
Both engines were total wrecks
and t welve cars were smashed up.
It was a wonder that none of the
tram crews received dangerous
injuries It will require probebly
twelve hoit.s to clean up the wreck.
Tne injured men were brought
home to Chickaslia on an extra
which came in about 11 o'clock.
! ire total numcverct ba.es o: cot-
ija maxietsa in v.-icKasa c
1 this morning amounted to
iast year tne totai reverts were i
less than a third of this amount.
There was a little lull in the cot-
ton movement during tne cold spell
but has been resumed and is com-
ing in more livily than ever. Yes-
terday the local receipts amounted
to 124 bales. The figures given
include only the cotton sold. Many
biles are hauled home and stored.
Cotton men estimate the amount
that is being held at from 20 to 2;
per cent.
The Chickasha compress has re-
ceived a total cf 30625 bales. Both
gin are running at full capacity
all day and part of the night.
As to the per cent of the crop
that has been marketed estimates
vary widely. After interviewing a
number of cotton men the Express
estimates that in this locality about
fifty prr cent has been marketed.
The advance made this year by
Chickasha in the cotton business is
very gratifying. It has been due
not alone to increased acreage but
also to the efforts made by our citi-
zens to bring the cotton here. Next
year we shall do still better.
