Oklahoma Letter.
Otley, Okla. Oct. 26, 1901.

Otley, Okla, Oct. 26, 1901.
Editor REPORTER:
l thought few lines to you this
morning would not come amiss. We
left Leon the 18th at noon and arrived
at Kansas City at six in the evening
and when We went in the depot there
was no seats and hardly standing room,
it would not exaggerate to say thous.
ande. Ten o'clock comes, all aboard on
the Rock Island with ten crowded
coaches. When we arrived at Topeka,
Kas., We connected with other excur-
sions and they had to cut our train in
two and make two trains. We arrived in
King6sher the next day at p. m. and
met our son Thomas. Now for a trip
across the country, 20 miles west, and
arrive at shutdown, meeting Toms better
half and fine 10 months old Oklahoma
boy, we'll and hearty, with supper all
ready to revive the inner man the next
few days. Tom is drilling wheat. Sun.
day morning we take trip south 4
miles to the hills, we unhitch the team
and climb up lone mountain the base
covers or acres, the top about one,
and nice and smooth, $50 feet high from
which you can look as far as the eye can
see. After viewing the prairie some
time we start down the hill. Mr.. Editor
don't be surprised if tell you when the
women got 10 the town they had some
I less than half q bushel of rock in their
aprons. Now we will look at the farm.
AT one side wheat is green as Il meadow
just little farther on is some just
drilled and little farther on is man
plowlng, SO you see what one man can
do with 100 acres of wheat. They have
gang plows and dry land plows each
| pillow s inches, with three cutters for
three horses, four for four horses, etc.
You see man pull in the field with four
horses on Monday morning where the
burrows half mile long go around a
40 acre field and by Saturday night it. is
about turned up. 1t is nice for an old
lazy man like your humble servant to
farm If he is lucky enough to have the
boys to pillow for him. We have spent
the day on the railroad at the Clip hills.
A new branch to the Rock Island is
being built miles from friend Sherley's.
They are blasting rock in the hills, a
cut so feet deep, next blowing with the
elevated pillow with IA horses, the wagon
drive at the side, every 80 feet making
load for the down grading, making a
fill so feet high with hundreds Of teams.
Next we come to where they are filing a
draw with cars, three attached together
about feet square. They fill at the
top and start down one man at the
brake and team of mules follows
behind. When the car comes to the
end OF the dump three men receive it
and the load is of in five minutes and
then the mules are attached and it il
drawn back. There is only one draw.
back to our visit, we came on the excur.
sions and our time is limited, otherwise
would like to stay until Christmas.

already but parer and talk is cheap in
