The New Country.

Ell Reno, o. T. July 81.
EDiToR NEws-I will write few
items if you think they would be of
interest to your readers.
We arrived here the 23rd of July
and the boys registered. From here
we went in south-westerly direc-
ton and took good look at the
country that was to be drawn. 1
will give you slight description of
the country. 1t is more or less
broken with small creeks with val
leys from one to two miles in width,
which lead to the rivers. The river
valleys are from five to six miles
wide. The uplands and rougher
parts are covered with scrub oak,
along the creeks it is mostly elm
and cottonwood, with some walnut
and cedar. The soil is of a reddish
color and sandy. 1t seems to pro-
duce very well but it has been dry
here the same as all other places
this year. Crops between here and
Meade seem to be better than they
are here. In the game line there
are few deer, turkey and squirrels,
and the Washita river has some fine
fish, but we were not lucky enough
to capture any of them, but we saw
quite a number that had been
caught.
The total number who registered
for this new country was 167, 900.
There were twice as many women
registered as there were claims, not
making any mention of the men.
They have been drawing out num-
bers for two days, and the closest
lucky man to Meade so far is John
E. Williams of Ashland. There will
be about a thousand fairly good
claims to be selected, and after that
will not be worth much. The In
dians have taken all the best lands
and it does not leave much but the
high land.
There are lots of people here that
are mean and plenty of thieving and
robbing-lots of it every day.
Yours very truly,
c. H. BURFoRD.

Quite a peculiar incident occurr-
ed at the depot last Saturday, with
a freight car. Jim Wood was hav-
ing the car of lumber unloaded and
for convenience wanted it moved
down the track a short distance.
A team was hitched onto it and it
was moved but soon got under such
headway that it could not be stop
ped and started down the track at a
rapid rate and never stopped until
it reached the hill opposite J. M.
Brannan's 3 miles east of town. 1t
could have been stopped but the
brake failed to work and nothing
could be done until it stopped at
the up grade on the hill. The run
away car was brought back to the
city by No. 20 which happened
along shortly after.

KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT IT
PRESIDENT MELLEN REFUSES TO
DISCUSS NEW YORK CEN
TRIAL, RJNIOR -,

President Charles S. MelIen, of the
Northern Pacific, refuses to throw any
light on the rumor that he is being con-
sidered as a successor to S. r. Gala
way, who has resigned his position as
the executive head of the New York
Central. When seen yesterday Mr.. Mel
len refused to discuss the rumor any
farther than to say that he knew moth
ing at all about it.
Despite Mr.. Mellen's avowal of fgnor-
ance of the deal, the rumor persists in
sticking. When MI Mellen returned
from the East a short time ago it was
said that he was to resign the presi-
dency of the coast road to accept a
Similar Office in the East. He is unQties-
tionably one of the keenest men in high
railroad circles today, and his success
with the Northern Pacific road has not
been unnoted by the officials of the great
Eastern systems. 1t is stated on what
appears to be unquestionable authority
that Mr.. Mellen's Discrimination to talk
OF the matter is due to the fact that the
board Of directors Of the New York Cen
tral nave taken no official action. and
that until they have extended him a.
formal call to the place it would be i'm
proper for him to discuss the matter.
Another name prominently mentioned
as mr.. Caliaway's successor is that of
w ii. Newman, president of the Lake
Shore: In view of the fact that Mr., New
man mas been so closely associated with
the vanderbilt interests, his promotion
would not he out of line.
