TROUBLE OVER RIGHT OF WAY
Indians Want Cash in Advance From
Railroad People.

Ell Reno, o. T., March 9.-The Choc-
taw. Oklahoma and Gulf railroad began
work today at this point on an extern
sion westward into Cheyenne county,
with ArapahOe, o. T., as an objective
point.
Forty miles of road construction con-
tract was let to Nancy & Weir, con-
tractors.
additional force is expected here the
latter part of this week and the work is
to be hurried. Considerable trouble is
being experienced in getting the right
of way across Indian allotments, as
railroad people claim the right of way
by virtue of their original survey and
charter and Indians demand cash in ad-
vance.

These figures show that if the 5000
auditorium buttons were sold it would
be necessary to raise but 1890 more in
order to have the work on the building
commenced
The city ordinance requires that
$4,000 shall be subscribed before the
work can be commenced and, including
the buttons, the total sum in sight is
S21, $40. From these figures it will be
evident to any one that the work on the
auditorium may be commenced within
a very short time.
The auditorium buttons must be sold.

If the members of the Auditorium as
sociation south of the Kansas river had
been active the ground for the auditor
ium would have been broken before
this.
The auditorium will never be built as
long as the members of the association
wait for some one else to do the work.
Three members of the association in
North Topeka raised $4,000 in two
weeks and in over a month the work of
soliciting subscriptions south of the riV-
er has practically not been commenced.
Some vigor must be injected into the
south side solicitors before anything is
done. Three days work ought to be
sufficient to raise all the money neces-
sary to commence the work on the
building but no one yet has given that
three days.
The plan of having individual mem
bers of the association solicit subscrlp-
tions from individual acquaintances has
been a lamentable failure. 1t will not
work because one man will fail nine
times out of ten where a half dozen
will succeed if they go in body. The
success of the Committee of Fifteen in
raising funds was due entirely to the
fact that as many members of the COM
mittee as possible went on the soliciting
expeditions.

without work as we'll as wind.
With a little activity in the subscrip-
ton department the work can be COM
menced within month.

producers organizations are in
variably opponents of any system

The American Cotton Growers
Protective Association, in session

Of every kind where the products
are dealt with in this way. We
sincerely hope that Congress will
recognize the necessity for the
passage of all efficient anti-option
measure, as we'll as of the pure
food bill already referred to-.
Both are necessary for the aboll-
tions of serious evils under which
the producers suffer, and neither
of these evils have any rights
which Congress should respect.
Adulteration is fraud, and gamb-
ling should have no standing in
the eyes of the law.

Notes and Comments on Farming.

Editor Allianco Department:
The farmers of the South throw
away every year enormous sums
of money by the Unintelligent use
of commercial fertilizers-bv not
using the kind of fertilizer on Ger
tain kind of land that that land
needs, or by using kinds it does
not need, thereby wasting money
and at the same time making less
than if the fertilizers were used
with more intelligence. The cause
of this is lack Of knowledge of
agricultural chemistry, which
knowledge Cor enough for all
practical purposes) could be easily
obtained by reading good agricul-
tural papers and the bulletins
issued by the experiment stations,
and making experiments accord
ing to the suggestions found
therein.

Pure Food and Anti.OptiOn Leg
iSlature.


ber of years past. and which have
made some progress in Congress
during that time, but have never
as yet become laws, are the bills
in behalf of pure food and for the
PROM bition of option gambling.
In the fifty-second Congress the
Senate passed what Is known as
the Paddock Hatch pure food bill,
and it was favorably reported IN
the House, but it got no further.
Mr.. Brosius, of Pennsylvania, has
now introduced a similar bill IN
the present Congress, with such
changes as the discussion during
the interval since the last bill
was up, has seemed to render de-
sirable. 1t seeks to regulate
adulterated and mixed food pro-
ducts. preventing the sale of
harmful ones, and regulating that
of those that are harmless, so that
consumers may not be defrauded.
While all know that adulteration
i carried on to very great eX-
tent, few are cogniZant of the de-
gree to which it Is carried. One
of the most commonly v adulterated
products, for example, is flour
that is supposed to be made from
wheat. Corn flour is largely used
in adulterating it, and while it is
entirely harmless, the adulterant
is only worth about one.fourth as
much as genuine wheat:tlour and
extent. The National Board of
Trade Convention, recently in
session at Washington, passed a
resolution urging Congress to take
steps by which these mixed tlours
should be compelled to 20 onto
the market for what they actually
were. The New York Produce
Exchange has also taken the mat
ter Up, and is endeavoring by the
adoption of new inspection rules,
to prevent these adulterated
tlours from receiving the brand of
that exchange. Corn flour is of
course, not at all hurtful, but it's
use as an adulterant s fraudulent.
In hundreds of other instances
adulteration Of food products is
carried on to an great extent, and
in a great many cases by no
means so harmlessly, for those
whose conscience permit them to
adulterate food are not at all
likely to be very n-skinned
about the healthfulness of the
adulterants used, provided they
be not actually poisonous. The
subject is one which Congress
should deal with thoroughly and
effectively for these authorizations
are not only fraud upon the
purchaser, but they are a serious
injury to the producers of pure
food products.
The anti.optiOn bill has also
