And politics has begun to boil in
Oklahoma to a considerable extent.
Pretty soon the good people will be-
gin to learn the names of the "best
men" and the "biggest scoundrels"
the state has ever sheltered. Guber-
natorial bees are already buzzing in
tho bonnets of some three or four
who "have been spoken to," and it
now looks as though the campaign
would open up with the beginning
of 11)10 in dead earnest. In the
meantime the boys in the forks are
sawing wood.
The Chief-Leader is in receipt of
the report to the stockholders for the
year ending June 30, 1909, of the
officials of the M., K. & T., Railway
company. The report shows the cost
of road and equipment to be $192,-
811,072.43, covering a mileage of
3,072 miles with a total of 23,338 I
cars. During the year the company
has carried 7,375,089 tons of freight
for which it received $10,85?,839.83,
while the revenue from passenger
service amounts to $(i,9G 1,088.91.
The summary of business transacted
compared to that of 1908 shows a de-
cided increase in nearly even depart-
ment, and that the company's busi-
r.e~t is in excellent shape.
