man Of Oklahoma City says the present
indications are that that Territory
will harvest between 1000, 900 and 90
Oo0, 900 bushels of wheat this year, and
much Of this grain probably will be
shipped TO st. Louis. II was stated
last year that the total wheat yield
Of Oklahoma was about l6.Oo0,0o
bushels. Mr.. Jones says 10000, 600
would be nearer the facts.
The acreage Of wheat this year, he
continued, is largely in excess of last
year and the prospects for full crop
are also better. TO be on the safe side
estimated yield was placed at $4,000,
900 but the chances now are IL will be
much iis-Ser The new railroad from
Sapulpa TO Oklahoma City gives the
Territory direct connection with st.
Louis and ought to greatly enhance
the trade of this city in the future.

pletion OF this road St Louis was at
a disadvantage having no direct raii-
road connections with oklahoma.

The teachers committee report like
successful conference and that in this
movement we may count on the support
and help Of our teachers.
Discussion as to the form our work
shall take on when fully inaugurated
was then INDUCED in; whether it should
be only loan library, open on Satur-
day afternoons, or should be library
and reading room open every afternoon
and evening, or whether it should be
the latter but only open on certain
afternoons and evenings each week.
There was no question in the minds of
any that the all-the-time open library
and reading room is to be our ultimate
aim. But this question, like every
other in life, must at last be determined
by ability. Of one thing the public
may be assured: The library will be.
come whatever they are willing to make
lit.
