in his enterprise but is quite dishearten-
ed when another neighbor spends two
hours demonstrating that the most im-
portant enterprise to the city would be
the 1 ing of a deep well for gas, oil or
any otuer thing of value that may lie
deep down into the earth's crust. This
man, too, need* help to set his scheme in
motion, but lie in bulked by the man who

in a Castor oil mill. The oil mail runs
amuck the pen nut oil factory promoter,
and the pea nut man is vexed beyond
measure because men from whom he ex-

The Chinese government has prohibited

become extinct. This government vould
well follow the example of the flowery
kingdom and prohibit the carrying from

Up all of the surplus funds in the city.
Such is the condition in Oklahoma City
and in every other town which is en-
deavoring to advance. I here is not suf-
ficient concentration. The energies of
the enterprising men are scattered, and
without any intention to do so one man s
energies are neutralized by the energies
of another. None of the numerous pro-
jects can be brought to a successful ter-
mination without the united support of
all the public spirited men in the city.
Here is a good plan: Agree upon
some one project and then drop all others
until that one is consumated. Suppose
it si agreed that a railway be built. If
every other public project is dropped, and
all of the energy of the city is concen-
trated upon this one object, success
would at once be assured. Why not
take just such action! Why not con-
centrate our energies upon one object and
then have some assurance that it will
lie attained?
la spite of the congressional act inak
ing a year's residence in the territorie*
necessary before suit can be maintained
in the courts, the divorce business is still
flourishing. This is due to the excellent
climate, which makes a year's residence
in Oklahoma, a pleasant otiting.
Any railway extension west, southwest
or northwest from this city or from some
other point on the road entering this city

prediction of success on so shadowy a

prohibit it, at least. There is no earth!v
common sense in the fusion of people who
think alike, if they do really think alik-j.
but, if they don't fusion is just that
much more ridiculous.

TALKS ABOUT FRISCO EXTENSIONS
Guthrie Capital:—A prominent visitoi
in Guthrie,, yesterday was GeneralrAgent
J. N. Wisaer, of the Triaeo, He camt
Guthrie is beginning to experience tae
troubles that beset Oklahoma City in
18M when the Choctaw built eastwari.
Our big trade from there was cut off %.">
suddenly that it made business men ga p
for breath. The Santa Fe has built ea*t
from Guthrie and has built up four good
towns that have taken away trom Guth-
rie all of that flne trade she used to have
from that quarter. Oklahoma City
however, had already started off in the
jobbing business and by hard work and
a third railway, she succeeded in building
up a fifteen million dollar jobbing brai-
nesa that ia worth four or five times as
much as the retail trade she used to get
from the east.
Conditions in the Indian grows mot ^
complicated as the business interests ol
the Territory expand. A year ago pro-
vision was made for deeding the town
sites and seggregating them from tl.e
Indian domain. This was done, and in
addition, the towns were given local gov-
ernment. But recently all of the abom-
inable taxes imposed by the tribal gov-
ernments have been by a ruling of the
secretary of the interior forced upon the
residenta of the towns. Now, the towns-
|>eople pay all the expenses of local gov-
ernment and a most burdensome tax to
maintain a tribal government which ex-
ists only to spend the money obtained
by such taxation.

The introduction of cotton f actor ion
into the Carolinas and other southern
states has wrought a marvelous changt
in the condition of the laboring people
of those states. Prior t othe introduc
tion of the factories, farming was the on
ly occupation open to the people, and the
poor and the unfortunate generally had
a hard time to make a living. They
could not compete with the men who
owned and operated large farms. When
the milla were opened often whole fam-
ilies went to work. These communities
are now all prosperous and the people
contented. No people can prosper with

THOUGHTFUL THOUGHTS.
How many people are already plan
ning ahead for spring and summer. I«n't
it nice, though, to get the new and b**t
picks of the new materials, and have >m
made up before the rush—to have it ovei
and done with and really enjoy spring
when it comes. McOlinchey's new and
pretty goods are open now and it's wo 1-
derful how many ladies appreciate and
are taking advantage of the fact.
