VIII We Get a Railroad?

There j. no disputiug the fact that
there will be two or three new railroads
built 10 Oklahoma the coming year. The
most imp0risnt Of these j. the Arkansas,
Guthrie and California line (which Is in
reality the Frisco to tun from Shawnee
northwest through Garfield, Wood',
Woodward and Beaver counties into
Colorado. The survey Of this line was
begun 90 January 9Th The Fn,co eom>
pspY has never entirely abaodsned the
project inaugursted twelve years ago, to
give that company an independent line
from the Mississippi river at St. Louis
to California Mech preliminary sur
veying was done at that time, but the
financial collapse 10 the seconi year Of
Grover Clevslani's first administration
put quie,us on the construction Of rail,
roads. as well as on the construction Of
all other public utilities. Everything
10 the line Of railway building since that
time has lam dormant until within the
last twelve mop,hs.
Our prospects for railroad, therefore,
depend upon the completion Of projects
which we're conceived aud partly CON-
pleted twelve years ago. To back our
prospects, we have to offer as an induce,
meot for the investment of capital in
railroad cast and west through Beaver
county the best unoccupied territory for
a railroad in the middle west. We have
to offer the transportation Of 80, 900 head
Of cattle annually from Beaver county,
the north part of the Panhandle of
Texas and eastern New Mexico. Then
there is the transportation of fuel, lnm-
Der, and dry goods aud groceries for the
thousands Of people who now live within
reach Of the proposed railroad, and for
population quadruple in Dumber that
will settle along the line as soon as the
road is assured.
But people seldom get what they want
without asking for it. If we want this
line OF road we would do well to ls. our
wants be known. The people on each
side Of Beaver county are ever on the
alert to secure anything that will be of
advantage to them. They are net asleep
now. Why should not Beaver county
mako one more effort to obtain that
which she has needed for so many years?
We are satisfied that We can obtain it if
We make the proper effort. Certainly
there are representative influential men
enough in the county who are sufficiently
interested in the matter to present our
claims to the railroad company.
The money to pay for the building Of
railroads through this southwestern
country is in the hands Of capitalists and
will be expended for that purpose. If
we do lot get it some locality north or
south of US will. Let US wake up and
at least find out whether we can get the
road or not. Opportunity is going to
pass This way--lct us seize her by the
forctop. She may never pnss this way
again.

Congress passed bill on Jan. 10Th
granting a site on Fort Supply military
reservation to Oklahoma for an insane
asylum. Most people in this section of
country would prefer a veterinary sta
ton at that point, but maybe an insane
asylum will be a better thing. When
,he asylum is built it will be close to us,
anu ell no doubt furnish a greatly
needed sanitsrum for the cure of large
number of people who are "otf their
base" To it we can send big lot of
fellows who imagine that they can win
ter large herds Of cattle on wind pudding
and have them come out all right in the
spring. Along with them would go the
fellows who imagine that the public land
is for their exclusive use aud Benefit and
fence "littla fellows away from range
and water. The next batch would be
fellows who think that there is limi,
to the power of the government to tax a
territory. 10 the incurable ward will be
placed the fellows who we're disappointed
because they didn't get an office, aud all
the other fellows who did get an Office
and will find out that i, didn't "pan out
like they thought it would before they
tried it. Yes, indeed, there will be plenty
OF use for that insane asylum. IL will
have its drawbacks, however. When all
get in who are entitled to admission
there will be mighty few left to sub
scribe for the HERALD. aud we won
have any more business than a rabbit.

charge Of the formation of such govern
ments. In each town there will be

dent and as many representatives or
head men as there may be wards or

sipation of the clouds hanging over
South Africa, when the sensational an
nouncement that the Transvaal govern
ment had handed a definite ultimatum
to the British diplomatic agent in Pre-
tpria, caused rapid slump in the hopes
0f those who believe that diplomacy
will yet save the situation.
apart from this the news tends to
show that as long as the Beers remain
inactive, Great Britain will continue to
adhere to her present persuasive
methods.
The speech of the Duke of Devon
shire, lord president of the council Of
ministers, at Sheffield, contains nothing
to confirm the assertion made by the
lingo press, that the final proposals of
t British government will contain
sweeping aggressive schemes; and to
TINS extent it has oiled the waters. The
peace party even deduces from the
dukes utterances that a accumulation
of President Kruger's proposals of a
5-year franchise, minus the suzerainty
proviso, would lead to such negotia-
tions as would ensure peace.
Great Demonstration.
Whatever official feeling may be,
there is no installing the significance Of
the great manifestation, combined with
war spirit of imperial solidarity that
occurred in the streets of London when
the New South Wales Lancers trav-
sersed the city to embark for South
Africa. Tens Of thousands assembled
to do homage to the little handful of
soldiery representing the empires
loyalty.
From the arrival Of the squadron at
Waterloo station, to the embarking on
the railway train at Fenchurch street
station, tumultous scenes Of wild en-
thusiasm marked the route traversed.
The bands were allowed to play moth
ing but Soldiers of the Queen, Rule
Britannia" and "God Save the Queen, z
in which the dense crowds joined.
It is doubtful If such frenzied vel
come was ever before witnessed in
London. There was an incessant roar
: Of cheers and song until the Mansion
House, the official residence Of the lord
mayor of London was reached. Here
