How Ii Is Done,

There are "a acres set apart for
station grounds in Colbert station
and about 40 acres in Sterrett.
Just what the railway company ex-
pect to do with that much land or
what its necessities arc at those
two unimportant way stations has
not even been echoed back. 1t
appears that years ago the Secre-
tary of the Interior, on an appli-
cation exparte. approved plats fled
by the railway company for these
station grounds. The company
must have represented that these
grounds were necessary to their
railway business. The Interior
Department has decided that the
action of the Secretary of the In
terror ends the matter and vests
the company with these grounds.
This being done the townsite COM
missioners could, of course, do
nothing bat lay off the townsite
of Colbert and Sterrett, around
and outside of these grounds.

Ardmore's dain, Waco's Loss.

The Waco Times-Herald has the
following good words for one of
Ardmore's new business men,
which we cheerfully publish:
Mr.. W. S. Russell, who has
been engaged in the furniture busi-
ness on Austin street for several
years, is leaving the city to engage
in the furniture business in Ard
more, l. T. This step has not
been taken without careful study
of the situation and several trips
to Ardmore. He has leased store
there and will ship a large lot of
his goods at once. MIR. Russell,
by his sterling business qualities,
scrupulously honest dealings and
his pleasant manners, has won a
high place in the esteem of Waco
people and everyone will regret
his departure, while his estimable
family will leave regret socially.
He sells or leases his pretty home
on Twelfth and Vermont avenue
and while he regrets the severance
of hundred pleasant ties in Waco
he feels that he can do better in
his new field. Ardmore will gain
a good man and Waco lose one in
his departure.
Mr.. Russell is a member of the
new firm of Akers & Russell, on
West Main street.

THE Georgia farmers have de-
cided to hold their cotton for higher
prices. To do this there had to be
a combination. The combination,
if one exists. which has for its
purpose the reduction in the price
of cotton, now has an opponent.
In the end it will be found that if
the demand for cotton warrants
paying a higher price for it the
price will be paid. If there is no
great demand no high price will be
realized. And all the combina-
tions in the world, whether they
are made to raise or lower prices,
can not long prevail against this
law.

TRUSTS UGLIEST ASPECT.

A glance over the program out
lined for the conference on trusts
in Chicago this week discloses a
long list of topics to be discussed
by men who have won recognition
in their respective spheres of work.
1t is noticeable that in the entire
list but one speaker has seen fit to
devote a research and argumenta-
tion to a phase of the trust ques
ton which in Importance dwarfs
all it other aspects.
Certain it is that if any man
argues them socially harmless and
innocuous he has been strangely
blind to their intermeddling with
the suffage of employees in cleo
tions, and to their selfish and per-
nicious activity in the passage and
execution of federal and state laws,
and to the reaching influence
which great wealth and vast en-
ployment power give them for sup
pressing the moral as we'll as the
political independence of the many
to whom they may make submis-
sive to their dictates the condition
precedent to obtaining an oppor-
tunity to toll for living.

STREET LAMPS NOT LIGHTED.

Inc street gas lamps were not lighted
last evening because 1t was physically i'm
possible for the men who perform that duty
to go their rounds 1t is expected that the
condition will be SO improved by this even
ing that the lamps will shine as usual At
the office of the Washington Gas Company
today 1t was stated that there is now no
apprehension of gas famine. as it is proba-
ble that railroad communication will soon
be established with the outside world and
the supplies of naphtha now on the road and
consigned to the gas company will reach
the city.
The company has now about a five DAYS
supply of naphtha, which is used In the
manufacture of the gas, and 1t Is thought
mat before this is exhausted the new cargo
VIII De available. The officials say that the
