Okarche. Jewett and Arnold had gone
to Ell Reno that day TO buy a machine

Mrs Council helped do the milking. At
ter the milking was done she went to
the house, which consists Of the old orig
inal sod house and later built frame
hcUse. She took the milk into the sod
house. which was dark. As she came in
side of the door she slipped on something
which at first thought was a small cat,
but the warning rattle and the singing
sensation in her second toe told her that
it was a rattlesnake and that she had
been twice bitten by it. There was no
whisky in the house and it was a long
time, probably two hours, before any

THRESHlNG- MACHINE PROBLEM
Captain Jake Admire Tells How Four
Farmers Solved 1t.

Guthrie, 0. T., July e.-Jacob Admire
Of Kingfsher has taken up the thresh-
ing machine problem. He SAYS: The
threshing machine problem is always a
vexatious one. Generally, as soon as
farmers have harvested their small grain
they begin to look around for a threshing
machine. All cannot be accommodated
at oice-some must wait The threshlng
machine men do the best they can-one
machine cannot be at a dozen places at
once. We learn of four farmers who
have solved the problem They live
about six miles north and east of King
fisher and on adjoining farms. Their
names are r. W. Halstead, w c. Parks
Ohio Sucker and Ira Halstead. This
year they have between 900 and 1000
acres Of wheat, and they expect it TO
produce an aggregate of 1900 or 20 900
bushels of wheat. The price Of thresh-
ing wheat this year out of the shock is
9 cents per bushel At present prices. 1t
costs one bushel Of every six to pay for
threshing IL. So, on this basis it would
have cost these four farmers at least
Sl620 to thresh their wheat crop this
year. In other words 1900 of their 1900
bushels OF wheat would have gone to pay
the thresher. These farmers have their
own teams. wagons and laborers. In
order to fit out a. machine crew they may
need TO employ a little extra labor They
figured this thing up What did they do?
They bought threshing machine of
their own. It Is new, 10-horse power en-
CINE; price, cash, $1.440 This is $50 less
than It would have cost them to have
hired their wheat threshed, and after
they have paid for all the extra labor
they may need the probability Is that
they will be out very little more money
than il would have cost them TO have
hired a threshing machine outfit to do
their work This Is not all. They do not
have 10 run all over the country, beg and
wait indefinitely for threshing machine
To get around to their work. That Is
great saving Of time and labor and pa
thence They can go at their work at
once-get It out of the way-clean the
ground and put the plows to running fer
the next years crop. These four farm
ers say they will use this machine only
for their own work. As soon as that Is
done they viii house II away until next
season. They bought II for their own
convenience and We believe they have
acted sensibly''

As INO BRANCHES
Santa Fe-Rock Island Road
May Be Operated.
CASHI0N BUILDS HOPES
Of Great Things for Herself,
Upon Ibis Prospect.

Kingfsher, o. T, July 9-The Santa
Fe-Rock Island railroad between this city
and Guthrie is now completed and there
is a decided rumor to the effect that the
road will be operated as two branches.
that is. that the Rock Island will run its
trains from here to Cashiop and back and
that the Santa Fe Will run its trains from
Cashion to Pawnee and return, through
Guthrie.
To many minds this indicates that the
mutual understanding between the Santa
Fa and Rock Islad and their joint con-
sturction of branch lines, does not extend
% inter-use Of rolling stock or to joint
operation.
The Cashion Advance says Of the com
pletion Of the new road, which, in case
the two roads operate separately. will put
two ends Of divisions at Cashion and give
it big boom: AT 1880 last Friday the
last spike was driven that connects the
two great railways Of the southwest; that
inslres 10 Cashion better transportation
facilities than are enjoyed by many much
larger towns; that brings better prices for
ali products Of the farm; that quiets the
tongues Of doubling Thomases and that
viii make CaShion d booming city Of g.,
600 proud, prosperous people. Not only
does this connecting link mean much for
Cashion, but the extension Of this road to
Watonga, Araoahoe and on southwest
means TO Guthrie more-the permanent
location Of the state capitol But In this
last statement perhaps we are wrong-our
mind reverts to the time when Downs
came within one Of securing the terri
torial capitol-Cashion's geographical 10
cation is the same. but the result might
be a change Of one; IN that case-but let
Us down the curtain. Suffice il to say,
that the location Of Cashion is such that
a city Of 50090 people could be accomo-
dated with fine building sites, ard every
thing that goes to make life worth living.
