Oklahoma City Times-Journal: For sew
eral days a rumor has been rife that the
Santa Fe intends moving their division
offices from Purcell to this city. But lit
tie credit was given the rumor al first.
but later developments point to the thing
as a fact So far as can be learned no
authorized statement to this effect has
been given out, but events seem TO be
shaping themselves for the elimination
of the project.
1t is now understood generally that had
the Populists insisted on the renomina-
ton of Callahan the Democrats would
not have supported him at the election.
In this they were right. They intend TO
be the one of the two dominant parties
in Oklahoma, and as a matter of pure
politics 1t remained for them to show the
Populists that Callahan could not have
been reelected. They persuaded the Pop
ulists of that fact before going TO the
polls.
Ponca City Courier: There IS no dis
guising the fact that the yield of wheat
in Kay county is disappointing the pro-
ducers. The conditions from the time
the wheat was sown up to two weeks oe-
fore harvest had been absolutely perfect.
At no time had there been any danger
from drouth, and there was always album
dant moisture. The stand of wheat was
very thick, but the frequent rains gave
nourishment sufficient to mature the crop.
But the last two weeks before harvest so
continuous were the rains that rust and
mildew destroyed part of the magnificent
prospect, and now the farmers are begin
ming to realize just HON much their oalcu-
lations failed Of meeting their expecta
tions. Fields that were supposed TO be
good for forty bushels per acre are only
yielding twenty bushels; and fields which
were figured at twenty bushels are only
turning out eight or ten. Some are even
going less.
