When you visit the A. Y. P. Ex-
position this summer "Come to Tn-
coma wlicro life in worth while".
Make your headquarters in Tncomn
havo a beautiful and restful ride on
the water for fifty cents' round trip
nnd we can save you money. Every
Seattle hotel and lodging house will

prices but Tacoma will give you
theso accommodations at regular
prices.
Tacoma the "City of Destiny" is
situated on Commencement Bay on a
high bluff which gives a commanding
viow of the surrounding snow-canped
mountains nnd Pugct Sound. Many
tourist have compared thescencry with
Switzerland.
As you near Tacoma on the boat
from Seattle the fir3t thing: that
attracts attontion is the highest con-
crete smoke-stack in the world; this is
at tho smoHer where the Alaska gold
is smelted. A day spent in this
smelter alono would .repay you for
visiting Tacoma.
Then as tho boat rounds Brown's
Point a city of 110000 inhabitants
with beutiaful buildings towers abpvo
you on a high bluff. Most conspicu-
ous of all theso many buildings is
tho Tacoma High School a magnifi-
cent white pressed brick building
with so many towers that you think
it is an old castle. It is tho finest
High school west of tho Mississippi.
The Stadium that vou will see on the
""tight of tho High school is just be-
T2 completed at a cost of nearly one
nundrcd thousand dollars. It is built
after tho style of the old Greek
stadium; is 70 feet by SCO feet and
will scat twenty-two thousand people.
The stadium at Syracuso is the only
larger ono in this country. Wo will
have some fino nttractons to otfer
you in our High school stadium this
summer.
On your way over you get a fine
viow of the snow-capped Olympics
and Mt. Tacoma which has been
growing nearer as you near Tacoma
now seems only a stono's throw dis-
tant. It rises 15 thousand feet abovo
sea-level and puts tho scenery of
Switzerland in tho back ground.
If you feel you can take a trip to
nis grand old mountain you tako tho
train at tho Tacoma Eustcrn Station
nnd have a most delightful run of
Bixty miles through tho most beauti-
ful nnd wonderful gorgo in the
country. You land at Longmire
Springs and stay all nighc in a rustic
hotel with all modern 'conveniences
telephone telegraph etc.
The next day you tako pack horses
and ride clear up to Reese's Camp in
Paradise Valley whore you can ex-
plore glaciers that feed our mighty
rivers and gather flowers of all kinds
and colors where tho snow juBt be-
sido them is aix feet deep. 
In Tacoma wo have many beautiful
parks and churches of all denomina
tions. Wo havo twenty-seven public
schools that aro strictly a up-to-date
in every lino of work. The boys get
Manuf 1 training and the girls Do-
mestic Scionco in tho regular eighth
grado work.
Tacoma can offor work to tho mill-
man for the city has many mills of
all kinds and tho longest wheat ware
houso in tho world.
We have green grass and roses all
tho year round in our lawnc. We
havo no storrna cyclones or thunder
ami lightning. W have plenty at
Indiana but that will be no treat to
yoif.
Coma to the A. Y. P. Exposition
and don't forget Tacoma.

OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE
News Notes
By Special Correspondent
GUTHIllE Okla March 12-Tho
legialuture is in receipt of tho follow-
ing communication from Governor
Ilnskcll : To The Honorable ' egisln-
turo: '
' ' I have the honor to report to your
honorable bodv that I have signed nnd
approved Concurrent Resolution No.
24 requesting tho President "of tho
Board of Agricoulcuro to co-opornte
with agricultural boards of other cot-
ton growing stntos in tho matter of
gathering cotton statistics."
Bvsthc signature of Governor Has-
kell to Houso Bill No. 493 the town
of Davis in Murray cuntv was made
a county court town.
Thcro is much dis"Ussion nmong
tho members of tho legislature and
tho crowd of visitors at tho capital
as to the probable effect on Oklnhoma
of the recent Missouri decision knock-
ing out the two cent railway faro.
wnuo it is admitted that it is ex-
pected that tho railroads will try to
uso this decision as a precedent it is
pointed out that Missouri wns operat-
ing on a statutory law while Okla-
homa has it written in tho Constitu-
tion. It is also pointed out that railroads
cannot comojn to tho District Court
and claim that tho law is confiscatory
because they have a remedy in tho
Corporation Commission where if such
a showing is mado they can be given
an order to restore the thrco cent rato
as has been tho case with two of the
less profitable railroad lines of tho
state.
This is another instance wherein
tho wisdom of the C institutional Con-
vention is made apparent and where
complications have been foreseen and
the people's interests safeguarded.
It is also a knocker on that class of
Republican politicians who insist that
should the Republican party get in
power that tho present Constitution
will bo abolished.
At 4 :30 Wednesday afternoon the
House hy u strict party voto passed
Senate bill No. 170 by Taylor and
Billups known as tho Taylor Election
Bill.
Tho Houso amnnded t he original
bill in many particulars but the main
features of tho Senato bill were re-
tained. Tho Act provides that no party de-
vice shall be used and tho county
election boards are given power") to
arrango the ticket in any manner they
sea fit thus making it impossible to
voto a straight party ticket unless
able to read the ballot and knowing
who aro tho party candidate.
Representa.ivo Jones of Oklahoma
county led tho minority fight against
tho bill and his good humored at-
tacks were met with such persistent
efforts on the part of tho majority
that but little opportunity was given
for oratorical effects.
Tho majority realized that they
wero thcro for business that they
wcro responsible to tho people for a
good election law and did not propose
to be filibustered and prevented from
passing ono.
The moat humorous part of the
whole proceeding was when Jones
vociferously called for" Koll Call" on
the pmcrgency clauso and the Demo-
crats responded by all voting "No."
Tho minority were completely taken
by surpriso as they expected the
emergency to bo supported by the
majority and Jones laughingly shout-
ed "For onco wo all votod together."
The joint committee of the House
" T$E GRAY

and Senato hold a session Wednesday
for tho final consideration of amend-
ments to tho "Good Ronds Law."
All amendments on which tho two
houses had disagreed were under con-
sideration. There is no doubt that
agreement will bo reached and Okla-
homa will havo the best road law of
any state in tho Union.

Mrs. Rachel Pillow died of pneu-
monia March 8 at tho homo of her
daughter Mrs. Jcnnio Sawyer at
Fayettcvillc Ark. and the remains

v By Word of Mouth.
Tnero is a cortaln youth who recent-
ly becamo engaged to a very sweet
young girl who for all her sweetness
Is well supplied with spirit. This youth
evidently thought ho had tho entire
gamo neatly printed in a book and de-
termined to head off tho usual "Am
I tho only girl?" otc queries for tak-
ing her In his arms ho said gently but
firmly:
"Now sweetheart I might as well
toll you at tho start you aro not tho
only girl I havo ovor kissed."
"Well maybe not'; she retorted
"but you still havo much to learn
about It." Harper's Weekly.
The Loving. Cup.
Tho origin of tho loving cup is to
bo found in Tartary. "On festive oc-
casions says Emerson "It Is tho prac-
tice ot tho peoplo to gather at aomo
predetermined spot where koumiss by
tho hundreds of skins Is brought and
placed in tho open air. Tho men and
women sit in a circle and ono ot
their number is selected as cup-bearer.
Tho young women sing their national
hyranB and songs; no one rises and
the cup passes from hand to hand un-
til nil the bovcrage Is consumed." Dis-
tilled koumiss is far stronger than
brandy.
Emolument of Physicians.
Remuneration of phyBlciana origin-
ally consisted in prosenta but at1 the
tlmo of Hippocrates payment In money
was already customary. 'Physicians
received also public pralso tho "crown
of honor" the freedom of tho city
.ho privilege of eating at tho king's
table. Physicians employed by the
state received a yearly salary as high
as $2000 In some InBtancos. Jllch 'peo-
ple would pay enormous sums 'for a
successful treatment and a caso Is re-
corded In which $200 000 was paid

And Irishman Thought Color Was
Due to the Hot Sun.
It Is said to bo n peculiarity of the
Island ot Montsorrnt that tho nc.
grocs speak In a rich Irish broguo.
This phenomenon la explained by
tho fact thnt In tho sovon-
toenth century tho colony was peo-
pled almost entirely by tho Irish. In
"Tho Crndlo of tho Deep" Sir Fred-
crick Troves gives tho following In-
cident Illustrative of tho enro with
which this dlnlcct has boon preserved.
It Is quoted from Obcr.
An Irishman fresh from Donegal ar-
rives at Montsorrat nnd leaning over
tho steamer's rail nddresses himself
In the following terms to n coal-black
negro who has come- alongside with
provisions:
"Say CufTeo phwat'a the chance for
a lad ashoro?"
"Good yor honor If yo'ro not afraid
of wurruk. Hut mo nnmo's not Cuf-
feo an' plaso yo It's Pat Mul-
vaney." "Mulvaney? And do yo mano to say
ye'ro Olrlsh?"
"01 do."
"Tho saints defend us! An' how
long havo yo been out here?"
"A mattor of tin year or so."
"Tin year! An'yoz black as mo hat!
Save mo soul I took yez for a nay-
gur." Youth's Companion.
FINDS HI8 OCCUPATION GONE.
Rag Man's Business Has Dwindled to
Vanishing Point.
"Rags bones old Iron!" Is n cry
not nenrly so familiar to tho children
of to-day as to thoso of tho '80's. For
tho rr.gmau llko tho chlmnoy sweop
nnd tho shn dial maker Is becoming
extinct. His used to bo a profltablo
trado. Tho woolen rags ho bought
turned Into shoddy brought thrlco
their cost. So did tho bones which
wore ground up for fertilizer. So did
tho Iron which melted lived again.
Many millionaire manufacturing fam
Hies had their beginning In a long-
headed ragman. Ho first ground hla
rags Into shoddy. Then ho spun tho
bhoddy into thread. Then n full-
fledged mlllman ho wovo tho throad
Into cloth. Hut tho municipalities of
to-day contract with slnglo firms for
the disposal of their peoplo's refuso
and tho old ragman Is disappearing
uocauso tnere Is so llttlo for him.
For and this Is the great socret
while tho ragman mado a grand profit
on what ho bought it was on the
refuso glvon him that he really throve.
Where Noise la Salable.
"You know of course" said a watch
factory foroman "how Lynn captured
tho African shoo trado making shoos
that squeaked loudly. The native con-
siders tho discomfort and expense of
Amorlcan shoes quite futlls If they
don't squeak as he walks like an 111-
greased cart wheol. Wo havo now
hogged tho African cheap watch trado
by turning out a gdod dollar watch
that ticks llko a boiler factory. You
could hear this tick through a foather
mattress. In fact natives wearing
our watches tick audibly. As they
swagger along: their American shoes
squeaking and their Atnerlcan watches
ticking they give out aa much noise
aa a brass band."

MUCH STOCK TAKEN
Over One-Half of the Amount Re-
quired Already Subscribed
Will Rush the Work
A cotton compress for Anndnrko to
be rondy for operation before tho cloee
of the summer is one of the good
things now nseured. Thii tnntter has
boon ponding for some wine time
nnd negotiations havo boon on bo-
tweon tho Commercial club and tho
manufacturnre of comprowoe for tho
purpose of seoing dafinitoly whnt
could bo done Tho mnttor lias now
reached tho 'point that tho nctivo
work of organising tho compnny to
own nnd oparnto tho oompross has
boon tnkon up
It is proposod to orgnnize n com-
pany of ?.15000 nnd this wook tho
subscription popors woro started with
tho result that $20000 of tho required
capital stock has been subscribed by
local business men with tho nssur-
arco thnt tho remainder of tho stock
required will bo forthcoming.
At tho present timo tho nearest
compress is nt Chicknshn. and tho
need of ono in this territory hns long
been felt. Under tho Oklahoma law
tho railroads cannot haul cotton past
a compress but must deliver it to tho
nearest compress from tho point of
shipment. This means thnt all of tho
cottdn from this territory 'now goes
to Chickasha whereas with a com-
press hero nearly 50 per cent of tho
cotton now going to Chickasha would
como to Anndnrko while u lnrgo
amount that now goes to other points
would come here as Anadarko would
then havo tho nearest compress.
Tho work of securing tho stock sub
scriptions nnd organizing tho compnny
will be pushed to an early comple-
tion in order that tho contracts may
bo lot andtho compress constructed
at once.
License or Fine '
P. Scott representing Wolfo Bros.
Shirt Manufacturing Co. of Knnsas
City undertook to do business in An-
adarko without paying hiB license.
Chief of "Police Cooloy interviewed
him on tho subject; Mr. Scott snid
that he had beat tho towns in Miss-
ouri out of their licenses nnd ho
didn't intend to pay any here. Mr.
Cooloy then instead of requiring tho
license of $2.75 assessed a $10. 75
fino and Mr. Scott immediately de-
parted Thursdny for more promising
territory.
