Mr.. j. A. Tilotson, of the Cherokee

Galveston to live. We left home when

to be in formed that it is the fame tho

Mr.. Leo Vincent managing edito
of the oklahoma Representative, o
Guthrie, is probably the taliest mem
Der OF the editorial party. lie having
strong individuality marked in hi
face and manner, the News reporte
questioned him somewhat on his opin
ion OF the possible future RELATIONSHIP
of the central north TO the deep waite
port lie said.
"Nou have here a beautiful city

future no man can foretell. You ar,
sufficient room 10 grow and rival tn

Naturally Galveston should get an,

seem preposterous, and indeed it is
but we in oklahoma and Kansas cal
send our surplus grain and meats u

condition exists in more noticeable

commerce into unnatural and eXpen

"What do you think OF the tallSed-o
north and south road?"
THAT Is good project ahd one tha
wOuld be welcomed by the Contra
states farmers and stock raisers. but
in my opinion, that relief would onll
be temporary, and tAe benefit derive,
a forced one. Nothing short of abso
lutte coutrol OF the railroads by th,
general government can reach thi
trying dilemma. II reminds me of tn,
outrageous conditions that existed il

South Wales up 10 1875, when the eX
tortion of capital became unbearable
