NO LAWYER is NEEDED

Guthrie, 0. T, Sept S-The secretary
Of the board of leasing school lands, Hon
J. ]. Houston. in an interview today.
said that the school land department had
become aware that attorneys in the ter
ritory and adjoining states were making
out applications for school land Tor
clients and were not only charging q
fee for this service but asking that the
clients enter into an agreement to pay
them a contingent fee in case they were
successful in obtaining for them a lease.
Mr.. Houston says that this IS wrong and
an ineXcusaDle imposition on those who
would lease the lands. The only service
that an attorney can possibly render an
applicant is 90 make out his papers, a
purely clerical proceeding, and the in
Etructions from the secretary OF the in

conduct all correspondence and do all

ALL CENIERS ON RAILROAD
E.aWtOn People are Having Frenzy
Over Et,elk lslasla Artsan.

Guthrie, o. T., Sept. 3.-Over at Lav-tOn
just now the coming Of the Rock Island
is the question of note here now. People
do not know where they are at on the
proposition. Business men are fearing a
demand upon their pocket books, as is
evidenced by the following from the Law
ton Post in a receut issue: Railway ac-
commodauons have gotten TO be an i'm
portant question with the people o. Law
ton. Tt is now reported that the Rock
Island railway after getting within four
miles OF Lawton has run out Of s eel nee
essary for the completion of the track.
Tt is further stated that a turntable is
being pat in at a point one mile east of
Fort sill A common opinion seems to
prevail that the Rock Island Viii rot
complete their road into Lawton until the
citizens of this place hae offered them
some inducements some Of the business
men are becoming very serious about the.
the matter ana in case a bonus is asked
OF them they propose tohold a fuI hand
and stand pat
The same question IS to the probabl-
ity of the Rock Island extending their
road into Lawton arose some time go
when the work Of construction was sus-
pended at Richards. IT seems to be a sin
gular coincidence that Immediately upon
the Frisco proposing a route throuFh
this country the Rock Island Immediately
advertses for Iaborers at AnadarSo ana
began the work of pushing their con-
structon furtner For q time the road
was being rushed toward Lawton at the
rate Of one and half miles rer day.
while on an average one bridge was being
built within the same perod of time. Only
ten days was required in which TO lay
steel from Richards 20 a point two miles
this side Of Fort .iH. il is believed that
the Rock Island viii wait at this point
until some bonus is offered or until some
other railway has come within touching
distance Of Lawton.
THAT no bonus is going TO be offered
is almost universally declared and a
great deal Of sentiment is being worked
mp i'm reference to the matter 1t IS
claimed that the Rock Island people are
pushing their demands to the point of
eXtortion. The public pulse beats doubly
fast in the conclusion that good money
has already been cleared by the opening
of this territory and that the returns
should be adequate TO satisfy the ordi-
nary greed.

WHEAT STORED ON GROUND
Remarkable story OF Yield Around
LahOma Is Told.

Guthrie. o. T.. Sept. s.-The most re-
markable crop story OF the year cones
-eom Lahoma. the town established last
May on the Rock Island road on the west
line Of Garfield county. The sun, pub
lished at that place. says: Wheat has
been rolling into town this week at an
average rate OF over five thousand bush
els a day. Wednesday was a record
breaker. the bank paying out on that day
on wheat checks about 5000. About
29.eOo bushels were dumped in piles on
the ground because there was no other
place to store II. and most Of it lies there
yet"
And this comes from town that has
direct connection by the Rock Island
route with Kansas City and Wichita. and
four elevators. When il is considered
that this IS al the very best wheat that is
grown in the world for making high
grade -four. it seems that capital should
be wiling to provide facilities for handling
it. either by putting up elevators or build
ing mills and making 1t into high grade
product before shipping.
