OF SUCCESS IN OKLAHOMA
Mr.. .. n. Rats Achievements are an
EXempIification.

Alva, o. T., Feb .21.-(SpeciaI-Just as
sample Of what Woods county can do.
take the following narrative of the pio-
neer struggles and latter-day successes Of
one of the most prosperous citizens Of this
region:
S. n. Rats, living three miles south Of
Alva, came in on the run September 16
1893, and located His earthly possessions
consisted of one horse and SIS in money.
After filing he had 81 left to start home
which he did by building a dugout and
working for settlers when opportunity
offered. He has not had a single failure
Of crops since he made settlement, and
last year had 1853 bushels of wheat, which
he sold at prices ranging from 60 TO Sc
cents per bushel
He married several months ago an es-
Unable young lady, and before doing so
built himself a nice residence Of three
rooms. He has all his farm fenced, besides
the necessary stables, hog lots, etc. There
are TWO wells on his farm, one seven feet
across, thirty-two feet deep, and sixteen
feet of water.
He has out this year over 400 acres Of
wheat, which bids fair to make as large
a crop as 1897. He cleared over $1,000 last
year, and expects TO double il this. This
shows what vim, vigor and push will DO
in Woods county, and other young men
can do equally well if they will work, and
be content with their surroundings.
Among the many settlers who have out
fair wheat crops are: S. n. Rats, 400
acres: S. 3. Shave & Bro, 700; Truman
Morris 1fO. r NJ Davis so; CT. W. Gro
well, 100; 2. c. Emerson. 125.
There are hundreds who have ~ acres
and upwards in the immediate vicinity
of AIva, and thousands in the county.
The prospect for 1898 can not be eXcelled
in any county. and settlers from Iowa,
Missouri, Illinois and elsewhere are com
ing in rapidly. To show that there are
many new people coming, S. T. Carrice'
real estate agent, has sold in the last
ten DAYS five good farms, some as hlgh
as s. 200-deeded and undecided up TO SUD-
with but little improvements.
Hundreds of cases similar to that OF
Mr.. Rats could be given.
Our normal college is full. There are
about 100 students now, and no room LOT
more. The contract for building IS to be
LET March 8. at Guthrie. The people are
getting impatient at the delay, but nope
matters may be settled at the above oate'

London Market Causes That
Gloomy Feeling

New York, Feb. 21.-In today's stock
dealings apprehensions growing out Of the
rate war for passenger business between
the Canadian Pacific and our own trans
continental lines had a substantial basis,
enough a soothing suggestion was oHered
Chat the profits and the dividends were
not largely dependent upon passenger ous-
mess anyhow. There seemed to be no re-
alizing sense that this suggestion was in
consistent with the large advances which
had been forced in the price Of securities
on hopes of Klondike traffic. The great
snow storm in the west was also factor
of real Importance both by reason of the
.nterruption TO railroad traffic and the pos
sible damage to crops. Whatever the real
motive, it was beyond dispute that there
were large offerings of securities for
which there was no adequate demand and
selling orders TO stop losses were uncov-
cred on the descending scale. Declines
were so great that the prices that look
ed attractive as bargains were reached
in many cases and buying thus invited
steadied prices and worked some notable
recoveries. This process was repeated
several times during the day and the mar
ket closed with one of the rallies in full
force, thus leaving the net declines de-
cidedly smaller than the extreme declines
during the day.
FOREIGN STOCKS.
London, Feb. 2L-Stock market opened
much depressed today. but there was no
sign of panic. Foreign securities were
dull though they did not show the pro-
nounced weakness which they would show
were the situation very seriously regard
ed by high financiers. The market for
American securities fluctuated somewhat
after a steady opening, then declined on
bulls unloading. Later the f1atter Ameri-
cans began tumblindg on the street on
