NEW DEPOT
NOT SOON
Rumor That Rock Is-
land Officials Were
Moving Unfounded
NOTHING YET DONE
Agent Harvey and Officials Were
Simply Locating Hill Paving
Co's Plant
Thcro was a rumor over tho city
Sunday that tho Kock Island Railroad
officials wore hero and woro looking
over tho grounds with Agent Harvey
giving orders and laying plans tor
tho erection of tho much nccdod de-
pot. This news caused many faces to
become brighter as the thought came
to them that it would mean that An-
adarkc would soon loso ono of its
most dangerous and unsightly land
marks.
An investigation was mado at once
when to tho great disappointment of
our progressive citizens nnd to tho erst-
vrhilo strangers who aro compelled to
stop off on business or wait for
trains it was found to be a mistake.
The Rock Island railroad company
ia still asleep and has made no move
whatever i.. tho line of a moro com-
fortablo depot Th riiTir was start-
ed from the fact mat Mr Harvey was
seen cut on the grounds locating a
suitable place for tho Hill Paving Co
for their paving plant. The pacing is
nil right but the old depot is nl!
wrong nnd Anadarko is much in neod
of an improvement in that direction.
Accused of Taking Coal
There is a caso in Judge Moaro's
court today which developed some
little amusement. Tho case was one
in which n man arraigned on a charge
of taking coal from tho Rock Island
yards proved to bo a mombor of one
of tho lecal churches and on tho plea
that if tho chango wero sustained the
incident would bo detrimental to tho
church the pastor ot the church ap
peared and mado n fervent appeal for
ucqulttul; but tno judgo showed no
external signs of relaxing in his de-
siro to deal justly with all men
saint and sinnor alike and tho ac-
cused made affidavit that to his btat
knowledge and boliof ho could not get
justice in this court and asked chango
of venue accordingly Chickasha Ex-
press. There aro otbora who no doubt live
in Anndarko and who nro getting the
benefit of tho coal and wood that
some "nigger" $b being blamed for
that has boon taken from the
winter supplies who should get on
good terms with tho minister and ask
''.ffhim to prepare an appeal suitable for
the occasion wot oniy mo kock is-
land supply has suffered but tho sup-
ply over the city has been touched by
the fuel night walkers

TAX QUESTION
Importand Points to Be Con-
sidered In viow of tho discussion of the
matter of taxes now going o.i tho
Democrat gives tho following state-
ment or comparison of the state taxes
paid in this county for the year bo-
foro statehood end tho years sinco
statehood.
Wo win take the year 1906 as this
was tho last year that state taxes
were collected bsfore statehood.
In 190G wo find that tho valuation
of tho county was $3395372 and the
stato levy was C 1.2 miles which
would bring in a revenue of $220G9.92
for tho year and in 190G there was no
stato tax collected or if there was
any collected it wbb refunded from
tho fact that tho Indian Territory sido
was not assessed and it was not fair
that this side should pay and the In
dian Territory sido not so in 1903 and
1909 thero had to be a levy high
enough to go back and pay this def ici-
ency caused by this refund.
In 1908 we find the valuation of the
county wus $13638450 with a state
lovy of 1 1-2 miles which would
brinu in rovenue of $17043002 and
in 1909 wo find that the valuation of
the county was $18087100 with a
state levy of 2 1-2 miles 1-4 miles of
which is for common school purposo
and which will bo distributed back to
the school Districts of tho stato per
capita and for which the stato gets
no benefit so wo find that the stato
gots only the proceeds from the
1 1-4 mile and will mako for tho
year 1909 a rovenue of $40895.97
now wo find that the state tax for
1907 was nothing being refunded and
thnt the stato tax for 1908 was
$17043.00 and for 1909 it is $40695.97
making a total for tho three years of
$57744.03 or an avorago of $19338.01
as compared with $22069.92 for tho
year 190G under territorial govern-
ment a saving of $2831.91 por year
wo do not protend to jay that tho state
is being run cheaper now than it was
boforo statehood for then thero were a
great many of the officers paid by
tho government which aro now paid
by tho state but we do say and the
records of tho county will bear mo out
in tho statement that the taxpayer
of Caddo county havo paid less tax

Only Thing.
Carved furnlturo which is tho bane
of tho housekeeper's llfo may bo
kept somewhat free from dust by
weekly or biweekly treatment with an
oiled brush kopt for tho purpose.
The cotton or woolen duster will
make no Impresalon on Its ornate sur-
face but will havo much to do with
tho disposition of tho housewife.
Tho brush UBcd In tho decorators'
shops for the very purposo of keeping
their finest furniture In order looks
very different from tho fonthor duster.
It Is n large soft paint brush In ap-
pearance nnd having been oiled It
absorbs on Its soft bristles a certain
amount of dust Instead of sending It
flying about the room.

MORRIS MAY RETURN
Rumor Says He Will Quit Govern-
ment Job and Come Back to
Oklahoma.
It is being rumored in Washington
that Inspector Joo Norris of Guthrio
Okln. at present stationed at Macy
Neb. mny resign tho job for which
ho clamored for so long and that ho
may roturn to Oklahoma to rcsumo
his duties as chairman of tho Kopubli-
can Stato Central committee in
which position Hon. James A ' Harris
of Wagoner is nt present acting.
It is said that whilo Norris is mak-
ing good In tho Indian service that
ho is unsatisfied and longs to again
get hack in tho activo political garao
in Oklahoma. It Ib supposed that
tho mattor was discussed at Kansas
City rocontly when Representative
Dird McGuiro of the First Oklahoma
district Harris and Norris held n
conference at tho Daltimoro Lotol in
that city. Wnen Norris first entored
tho government service it is known
that ho intended roaigning tho chair-
manship of tho Oklahoma Kepuolican
committco this winter and that
Harris whoso appointment as acting
stnto chairman was suggested by
Postmasier General Frank II Hitch-
cock chairman of tho Republican
National committee wns to bo select
ed as his successor.
Sot oral members of tho stato com
mittee started a row and a meeting
ot the committco was called last fall
but was later called off for somo un-
explainablo reason. At this meeting
it had been tho intontion to forco
Norris out as chairman and put a
crimp in Harris ir pussiblo. Harris
however is somewhat of a politician
himself and it was found that ho was
harder to "jar looso" than somo of
tho recalcitrants imagined.
