Three Proposed Lines and This City in Line
for all of TJiem-Coming Railroad Center
The Dope Sounds Good
..A survey is in progress
from.
Shawnee to Chickasha.
A proposed Gould line from
Hope Arkansas to Trinidad Colo-
rado Chickasha on direct line.
A proposed line from McAlester
to Amarlllo Texas Chickasha on
direct line.
According to well authenticated re-
ports Chickasha already without a
superior in Oklihoma in point of
railroad faclI'-Jes will oon have ad-
ditional lines which will make her
the railroad center of the southwet.
Despite trie panic and nil the talk
of lit iip in railway construction un-
aVrnenth the surface jiluns are being
matured for the enlarRMuent of trans-
portation facilities and many new
lines are being projected. From the
best information obtainable it is clear
that Chickasha will get her slwre of
the new lines.
It Is leraned from reliable sources
that a survey Is now being made for
a line from Shawnee to Chickasha.
The citizens ol Phawnee have real-
ized the feasibility of such a line and
have been active in promoting; It. It
is their plan to connect at Shawnee
with a line running northeast from
chat city furnishing a direct outlet
from St. Louis to thiu section of the
state.

contemplating the building of a line
from a point on the Iron Mountain
line probably Hope Arkans to
Trinidad Colorado This line would
t '-9 verse Oklahoma New Mexico and
Colorado. Amoni; well informed rail-
road men it is stated that this line is
regarded as assured. It will be the
connecting line for two widely sep-
arated parts of the Gould system and
would ccer a territory not now occu-
pied by these interests. Tapping the
coal and iron fields at its western ter
minus and the pine forests at its
eastern extremity and giving a di-
rect outlet to tidewater through New
Orleans it is regarded as a most logi-
cal line. A survey of the. map shows
that Cttlckusha would be directly in
line for the road. It la most improb
able that the proposed line from Deni-
son to tills city would form a part of
ii.'
Another line which holds out pros-
peels for Chickasha is the Houston
Sabine and Red River road which is
now under constructiln from Houston
to McAlester. Mr. Ed Kennedy vie
president and general manager of this
company was In McAlester this week
Interesting the people of that city in
the line and it is stated that he went
away amply aitisfied with the situa
tion there. It is further staled that
ri Ciu completion of the road between
tie points mentioned a line will be
tiiilt wet from McAlester to Asnaril-
la Texas striking the town of Alms
lr. Greer county.
Mr Kennedy Is a Houston man and
has had successful experience as a
tiilroad promoter having recently
built the Iieaumonf Sour Like and
Western which la now one of the
Yoakum lines. Active construction
ail along the line from Houston to
McAlester it is said will begin this
year.

Special to the Express
Muskogee Feb. 22. Gov. Haskell bas apparently secured cotn-
trol of the convention and his plan of selecting eight delegates with a
half vote each instead ot four delegates at large will doubtless be pass-
ed over the opposition of Chairman Toe Thompson of the lowerhouse and
Wm. II. Murray. Both Thompson and Murray have enough delegates
instructed to elect them as delegates at large and both still insist
they will not not allow their name proposed if they are to have only
half a vote. This leaves Haskell Lee Crnce and Torn Doyle the only
delegates who are apparently surt
will be selected on the floor of the convention.
Senator Gore is here and icsists
eliminates Senator Owens. Roy Stafford and Leslie Is tblack as news-
paper men are both in line for a delegate nomiaation. Late Tate Brady
of Tulsa has no opposition for National committeeman. The conven
tion is uaatninous for Bryaa; the state administration; and for Bryans
ideas of national government. The movement to secure an endorsement
of national prohibition in the resolutions has not gained much headway
yet.
BOUQUET
Duncan Banner Commends the Judge for his
Charge to Grand Jury
The Duncan Banner hands Judge
Bailey the following bouquet on his
grand jury charge delivered at the
opening of court in that city last Mon
day:
"Judge Ridley's instructions to the
grand jury were clear concise and to
the point. There were no quibbles
but just a plain heart-to-hejrt talk
from man to man. It was presum'a
that each membei .' t the grand Jury
knew his duty and was willing to fer-
ret out crime reg-irdless of personal
f.-elings in th siatter or whatever in-
justice in his opinion the law might
Impose. In delivering the charge
Judge Bailey did not raise his voice
above a conversational tone. He
sized up the Jry as- a body of men

ments carpenter tools pocket books

A WINKING EYE
One of the most attractive electric
signs in the city Is that recently in-
stalled bv Dr. J. B. Milam the opti-
cian at his office corner Second and
Chickasha. It is a winking eye in re-
ality and certainly caulies the att'T-
tion of the passing public.
The action of Judge Williams In
giving an order for the destruction of
the booze which has been captured In
this county was the best thing for him
to do and such acts will be credited
to his administration In the proper
column by ail the good people. 'Rah

EVERYBODY CAME TO TOWN
Judging by the looks of the streets

streets were filled with wagons and
the stores with customers. At times

A Story In Real Life Told In Chickasha
Last Night By A Loving Mother Who
Found Her Son
Waiting at the Rock Island station
last night for the 3 o'clock north
bound train were two tired but happy
ttavelers. They were mother and son
Mrs. Martin Hingle and her 14-year
old son Arthur whose story was her-
alded by the press throughout the na
tion a few diiys ago. Mrs. Hingle
had been to Hobart to get her son
who was stolen away over two years
ago and they were on their way to
Detroit Michigan.
One afternoon in January 1906 Ar
thur was sent to the grocery and that
was the last the mother saw of him J
till she clasped him in her arms at
Hobart yesterday. According to the
lads story a farmer carried him away
in his wagon to the country where ha
was kept and badly used. He was
afraid to return home because his
master made him believe that his
mother had declared she would send
him to the reform school If he ever
came back. Finally he could endure
the farmer's treatment no longer and
he ran away. From place to place he
went traveling over a large part of
the west going as far as California.
About nine months ago he drifted in-
to Hobart where he soon obtained
UNION OF TWO FEDERATIONS
At the meeting of the Executive
Board of the Genera! Federation of
Women's Clubs in Chicago the week
of January 20 pmong the business
brought before the meeting was a dis-
cussion af what action would be tak-
en at the biennial in Boston in June
rcgaiding the two state federations in
the new state of Oklahoma.
The matter was finally referred to a
committee who reported at the next
session recommending that the two
federations be given until next Jinu-
rary to complete amalgamation and
that pending union delegates from
both federations would be recognized
at the convention In Boston. This
recommendation was adopted and n -lice
of its tenor sent to the officers of
the so two bodies.
Now that a final decision has been
reached it is to be hoped th.it the club
women laying aside all personalities
n ay join together in effecting a union
into one strong federation that shall
be a mighty power in the new state
working for better laws better edu-
cational facilities more protection for
children happier homes and more
beautiful towns and cities. In no oth
er state In the union are such oppor-
tunities offered as are before us right
now and concerted action means
much in effecting work that will stand
for ill lime to come. Shawnee Herald.

.All the time Mrs. Hingle was using
every possible means to locate her
lost son. "I wrote over 300 letters a!l
over the country" said she "and sent
pictures and his description every-
where which the newspapers kindly
published." ;.'
Last oundav tut Daily Oklahoman
had one of these pictures and a story
which the boy saw and he at once
went to the sheriff and told him that
he was the boy wanted. The sheriff
wired the mother and she came at
once.
''Of course am happy" said Mrs.
Hingle "I was glad to get away from
Hobart because they made so much"
over us. They were very kind In
deed to my boy and the sheriff said
there never was a better boy in town."
"Are you glad to go home?" the re-
porter asked Arthur. "Well I sup-
pose I am but I'm mighty sleepy Just
now" was the reply. Arthur says he
is going to school again. The mother
says he was always a good boy never
giving her any trouble. He is a strong
bright looking young fellow and ap-
pears to have fared well during bis
travels.
