A BOOM TOWN JOURNAL.

What the Lawton, o. t., Republican
and Last Frontier Says About Lo-
cal Events.
The Republican and Last Frontier Is
the title Of an interesting newspaper
started a few days ago at Lawton, OK
lahoma territory. The recent boom oc-
casioned by the distribution OF free
lands in that section necessitated the
establishment of daily paper. A trav-
cling man at the Hotel Calhoun was
amusing quite a crowd Friday night by
reading extracts from the western
journal. From the pages Of this inter-
esting publication much can be CLEANED
which indicates that Lawton, or Its
newly acquired population, by reason of
its recent government land lottery, Is
enjoying a period Of what, in the ver-
nacular of modern slang, Is known as
"high life." Under the heading, Local
"Laconics," are the following items:
Mrs. Cannon, a fortune teller, went
to Mcknight last week and on her re-
turn found her tent completely gutted.
The burglars stole everything and 1t is
wonder that they did not take the
tent. Mrs. Cannon will have splendid
opportunity to prove her ability to tell
of the past and who stole her belong
ings.

the city and pitched tents down near
the creek. This Is the first show Of the
kind to visit the city, and 1t will, no
doubt, do a good business. Several
wagons were required to haul the out
fit. A citizen tried to count the wagons,
but when the cage containing the mon
keys passed he forgot the number
counted and turned his attention to the
monkeys.
"The report Of a shooting ARRAY
reached the city yesterday from Mills's
Gap. It seems that the postmaster,
Bill Jenkins, had a dispute Win the
deputy sheriff, whereupon Bill shot the
officer through the head, killing him in
stantly. Several other citizens were
drawn into the scrimmage and for
awhile there was more or less desultory
firing, during which two or three more
men gave up the ghost. But 1t did not
amount to much. Such things are so
easily exaggerated. News and Cour-

price Of camphor has advanced. There
Is another reason for 1t also. and 1t
may be said that the price is likely to
continue at good figure. Japan, like
France and Spain, Is desirous to obtain
a monopoly In one or more commodities
that will bring large revenue into the
government treasury. How could a
monopoly be more easily established
than in the article of camphor, the
whole supply Of which is confined
practically to one Japanese island? So
the authorities declared awhile ago
that thenceforth the camphor indus
try should be government monopoly.
Any one may collect camphor today
who can secure permit to do so and
permits are not difficult to obtain. But
not a pound Of the product can be sold
to any one except the government,
which fixes the price to be paid. The
price is said to fully compensate the
collectors, but a limitation upon the
amount Of the product will prevent too
many collectors from crowding into
HS haeihhASS sAAS
maximum amount to be produced and
will not buy a pound in excess Of that
limit. 1t was said awhile ago that
the amount to be produced this year
would not exceed 10000 piculs (5,S2O,O 900
pounds). AS Japan does not intend
that the market shall be oversupplied,
there seems to be no prospect of any
large fluctuation in future prices.
The world Will profit at least by the
efforts Of Japan to preserve an indus
try, which, a few years ago, seemed
threatened with ultimate extinction.
It is necessary to kill the tree In order
to get the gum. Contrary to all pre-
vious practice a tree is now planted
for every one that Is killed. Japan re-
uuires this to be done, and moreover,
is establishing plantations Of camphor
trees so that Formosa, 1t is expected,
will in a few years yield both wild and
cultivated camphor.-New York Sun.

IT WAS HIS DEAL.-A mining engin-
eer who has returned from Alaska
brings, among other interesting things,
evidence that the higher the latitude
the greater the latitude. Watching a
poker game in which the stakes were
heavy he saw a player give himself
four aces from the bottom of the pack.
Burning with indignation at such
shameless cheating, he turned to a
bystander and whispered, Did you
see that?"
See what?"
why. that fellow dealt himself four
aces"

were right when you told me last night
that there were burglars in the house" "
"Why?" she asked nervously.
Because all the money that had in
my pockets when I went to bed is
gone"
WELL" she said. with an I-told-you-

up and shot the wretch you would
have had your money this morning."

gingerly; but would have been a

She laughed softly then and gave
half Of 1t back to him.

wv HEN you remember the dead Of
w your family, you show to the
world that your love for them Is not
buried with the body. 1t is duty you
owe yourself and to the one that is
gone, to place a neat Monument or
Tombstone over the last resting place
of departed loved ones. To do this the
expense Is not great, and it shows to
the world that your love for the dead is
as lasting as stone. If you have rela-

marking the grave properly Is 80 small.

BUILD new QUARTERS
Continental Creamery Com
pany Must Have More Room
is TO COST $4,000
Entire New Building Will be
Constructed.

Mr.. Huxtable, the local manager OF
the Continental Creamery company. was
in fine spirits yesterday over the rain.
as he said that the rain meant good
wheat and fine pasturage for the cattle.
and. Of course. lots of fine. rich milk.
The business OF the company has grown
to such proportions in this city that it
has become necessary for them to add
10 their room. So. OF course. the first
thing they must do is to build fer them
selves a new building. The building
is a necessity, and so Mr.. Huxtable is
going to Topeka Sunday to be present
at the meeting of the directors which
VIII take place the early part of the
week. The company recently nortgaged
their property for 10000 for the purpose
of increasing their capacity in this state.
is 2 part of their plans to erect a
building here that Will probably cost.
when completed and furnished. something
near $4,000. The location Of the build
ing is still to be decid, upon, and the
plans are stiu in the embryo stage, but
the territory demands that il be built
and that before the spring trade opens.
This is the best time Of the year for an
enterprise Of this sort to commence. AS
Mr.. Huxtable said. If the plant can com
mence operation in the fall and become
well acquainted and get in good running
order before the warm weather comes,
the patrons become accustomed to the
manner OF handling their milk and know
just what to do. Then when the warm
weather overtakes them they understand
how TO handle their milk and there is
no complaint of sour milk. This gives
the creamery a chance 10 make the best
of it's products, consequently it can afford
to pay a better price for the milk. With
these facts in view. the company are
bound to go ahead at the present time
and push the advantage they have al
ready obtained in this city.
The company recognize the importance
OF having Wichita as one Of their i'm
pOrtant centers and with Mr.. HuxtabIe
TO push the enterprise the building viii
no doubt soon be under way.
Mr.. Huxtable has been out for sew
eraI days attending the farmers insti-
tutes that are being held all over the
state at this time and reports that the
farmers are very DESTROYS Of learning
more about the creamery business and
also that Prof. Otis Of the Manhattan
