Will Make The Concession if 'the Commis-
sion Will Recall the State Line Station
Order
Guthrie Nov. 27 As a result of
the announcement of the intentions of
the corporation commission to pro-
mulgate an ord"r requiring all rail-
roads doing business in the state ti
build stations on the state line so as
to enable passengers to travel inter
state for two cents per mile the
Santa Fe and Frisco officials wired
their representatives this morning to
see the commission and have this or-
der revoked stating that they have
their rate clerks busy now preparing
new passenger tariffs in the state in
compliance with the two cent rate
law and that they will have the same
completed and in effect on a two cent
basis by December 1st provided the
Interstate Commerce Commission will
waive the thirty days notice that it
requires roads to give before putting
into effect a new tariff.
This means that by Peember 1st
it the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion permits tickets can be bought
from here over the Santa Fe or Rotk
Island and Frisco lines to Kansas
City or St. Louis for two cents or to
any point within the states of Kan.
sas or Missouri. They also agree to
make a rate of two cents a mile in
states where the three cent rate is
still in effect. For instance in buy-
ing a ticket to Ft. Wo.th Tex. the
railroad will give the purchaser the
advantage of the two cent rate to the
slate line and three cents wiil be
charged from there on to the place of
destination.
This is what the corporation com-

Supt. Stewart returned today from
Guthrie where he attended the meet
ing of county superintendents and
he also had a conference with State
Supt. Cameron in reference to the ap-
portionment of school funds. Mr.
Stewart believed that Chickasha
should have her share of the state ap.
portionment of school money to be
ma le in January and Mr. Cameron
agrees with him.
"Nothing short of injunction by
the supreme court can stop me from
apportioning to Indian Territory dis-
tricts their share of the fund" said
Mr. Cameron. "Districts that nuke
the proper reports by January 15
will get their portion of the state
fund."
This means that Chickasha will
have $2500 more to run the schools
this year than was appropriated by
the council.

T LEGISLATION
Appoint A Committee to Lobby For Measures-Mayor
Bridges on the Committee
Muskogee Nov. 27 The mayors of
the new state in convention here pass-
ed resolutions urging that a bill be
presented to the first legislature to
place the towns of old Indian Terri-
tory and Oklahoma on the same legal
basis. It was further agreed that
legal power be extended to cities to
levy and collect taxes independent of
the township organization; that all
towns of over 2000 persons be per.
mitted to adopt such a charter with
provisions as they deem best; that
thy have the full power to change
from an aldermanic to a commission
form of government and that the leg
islature create a special commission
to classify towns in their proper
class.
A lobby will be maintained at the
capital during the legislative sessions
to endeavor to bring about these
things.
Other sections of the resolutions
adopted ask that an occupation tax
be extended to all businesses and pro-
fessions and to all towns and also
recommend that the legislature give
cities the power to enforce the com.
pulsory education laws by fixing the
proper penalties.

LOST
DOY
I. M. Sheldon a farmer who lives
five miles northeast of town is look-
ing for his fifteen year old son Irl
who left home last Monday morning.
The lad had been punished and he
left home in a .fit of anger. As soon
as his absence was noted the family
instituted search for him and Mr.
Sheldon came to town yesterday to
look for him but up to this morning
had obtained no trace of him.
The boy is small for his age weighs
about 123 light complexion and blue
eyes and wore a dark coat and shirt
black hat and 'blue overalls when he
left home. Mr. Sheldon offers a re-
ward of $25 for information concern-
ing him. Notify the local poiice of-
ficers or address I. M. Sheldon box

REFUSE TO HAUL
LIQUOR
Local agents of the express com-
panies have received orders to han-
dle no booze '.'.'hey are forbidden to
receive or deliver any wet goods. An
attempt to mandamus oneof the con.
cerns at Kansas City to compel it
to receive liquor for shipment to Ok-
lahoma was unsuccessful and the
companies are disposed to cooperate
with the state authorities in making
Oklahoma a dry state.
New York Nov. 27 B. F. Yoa
kum chairman of the Rock Ilsland-
Frisco board has returned from ov.
er the Chicago & Eastern Illinois and
a conference With officials in St.
Louis. This was his first trip to the
West since last May and he expects
to take another in about two weeks.
Concerning financial and business
conditions Mr. Yoakum says:
"I am not feeling at all discouraged
over general conditions. For ten or
more years we have been drifting to-
ward this monetary situation and it
cannot be cured in ten days. But I
have the strongest faith in the future
and in the ability of the American'
people to hold together and surmount
this financial trouble. There ara
hopeful signs on every hand of re.
storing confidence and we shall soon
build our tracks around this big de-
pression and resume the run of pros-
perity. "The storm might have come upon
us at a worse time. The crops are
bountiful and the country is develop-
ing rapidly in all sections North and
South East and West. General busi-
ness has not been affected by the de-
pression as much as one would nat.
urally suppose. Our earnings for
November show only a decrease of 3
per cent. Of course we are pursuing-
a policy of retrenchment and we
shall go slow on all improvement
work. At this -iason of the year it
is always customary to curtail the
outside work and to reduce the shop
force: ; but we shall not permit the
property to suffer. . The necessary re.
pairs shall go on and we shall main-
tain our through passenger service.
All business men with whom I talked
in St. Louis shared my general views
and in the East there is growing fee!
ing that the clouds are sureiy lifting.
