Oklahoma CITY Complaining Of Large
over-Produotion.
prominent Oklahoma City citizen
was in Guthrie today attending to
business matters. He was asked
about the extent of negro popula-
tion of that city, and stated that it had
Increased remarkably within the last
eighteen months They come from
everywhere, he said What brings
them there he was unable TO say other
than because there has been so much
building done in the past year. They
give the police considerable trouble,
most of the petty cases in the police
court being from among the low
classes that infest the city. He felt
that there were close to four thousand
negroes now residents Of the place.
Oklahoma City has certainly caught
large number of the negroes from
this city. The school census shows
large decrease In the number in
Guthrie as compared with tho figures
Of two years ago.
Guthrie has about three thousand
negroes now including recent births.
In a conversation with prominent
school man of this city, he said the
number Of negro school children
would be increased when the coming
term Of the public schools opened.
Many families who live in the coun-
try, send their children into the city
to get the benefit of the better school
ing. This has been he case in the
past and Is expected to be SO this
winter.
The negro vote of Guthrie shows a
falling off of nearly three hundred at
the last fall election. There was still
smaller vote cast at the spring cleo
ton, and these features positively in
dicae that his class of population is
rapidly shrinking. The negroes are
leaving and going to other parts

GOOD ORE INDICATIONS.
Found BY Prospeetors in the Vicinity
OF Lawton.

Frank Hindman who Is in the real
estate business at Lawton, says the
recent developments of the oil dis
coyeries north of Lawton near Rich
ards, seem 10 indicate tha. the pros.
poets are not all Of a gaseous nature,
and from the way people are stalking
out" claims they evidently believe
that oil in paying quantities is cer-
tainly in the near vicinity. These oil
discoveries are not entirety spasmodic,
nor are the companies that are now
on the ground prospecting Of few
days existence, for several of these
were formed before the country was
opened and have men Of influence and
capital behind them.
One of these companies discovered
a tract OF land four miles east of Fort
sin which comprised about five acres
here and there with patches of a
hardened mass that upon examina-
tion was found to be a mixture OF oil
and asphalt that had oozed forth and
had been hardened by the sun This
company was organized several
months ago, and some Of the most
prominent men IN The territory are
members of the company, as wen as
several prominent Texans, and i'm
mediately upon the opening they
staked off their claims and are now
developing some very aattering pros
poets.
Another company was organized
this week with capital stock OF
S250OOO to develop a claim which they
have staked of nine miles northwest
Of Iawton and from which they have
exhibited some very promising sam
pies OF oil. The promoters are promi-
nent men Of Kansas City and Okla

some time ago, and after lapse Of

the fac, that she was mothering a

HELP THE HOGS ALONG.

Alfalfa is well-liked forage crop
for hogs in the west. 1t will be pop
ular in the east when it is better un-
derstood.
1t is too dangerous to take the risk
of driving fat hogs this time of year.
You can save time and trouble by using
a wagon.
Try treating your hogs little bet
ter this year than you did last. 1t will
not hurt the hogs and will not injure
you to any great extent.
Ring the hogs if it is actually neces-
sary, but do it as humanely as posi-
BILE. Get the best rings and the best ap-
planes and do it just right.
Shade is an absolute necessity for
the comfort of hogs in the heat of sum-
mer. 1t is as important to furnish
shade for them as it is food.
Never get so busy as to neglect your
hogs. A stroll through the fields every
few days might bring to your notice
some disease or irregularity that
might be costly if neglected.
Don't hesitate to ask your neighbor
how he manages his hogs if he makes
more of a success in this line of bust
ness than you do. He'll be glad to tell
you if he is gentleman, and you may
get some pointers in this way that
would take you years to find OUT

If horse gets his front foot fast,
even on an obstruction only a foot

hind leg fast he goes ahead; if he

SUNSHINE FOR HOGS.
structiOn and Inside Arrange
ment of Pens.

Why is it that the nature of the hog
has been SO misunderstood? He does
not thrive on filth, his pen and his food
should be clean, and there is one other
point that has been too often lost sight
of, his pen should not be dark and dis
NAL. The hog likes sunlight. The
Maryland experiment station says
that the hog is an animal to which sun
shine is just as essential as it is to the
corn plant. Neither corn nor pork can
be successfully produced without
plenty of sunshine. In this latitude
and farther north this sunshine in win
ter will have to be brought into the
pens through glass, but farther south,
under normal conditions, it is only nee
essary to face the pen to the south;
allow the suns rays to reach the back
of the pen on the beds and give good
shelter and protect from the north and
west winds. In constructing the hog
pen for the station, the following
points have been observed: (D 1t is
faced to the south so as to permit the
rays of the sun to shine upon the beds
of the pigs at the extreme rear end of
the pen in the winter season and also
to give shade in that portion in sum-
mer. (2) The lattice construction be-
tween the pens at the ends and rear
admit of a free circulation of air in
warm weather. 60 The location OF
the manure pit in the center and below
the level of the sleeping and feeding
floors, with all the drainage below it,
aids materially in maintaining prop
er sanitary condition. (4) Swinging
gates close the pigs into their beds
while the manure is being loaded. (5)
The manure pit is concerted, which en-
ables the saving of all liquid increment
which, with the pig, amounts to'51 per
cent. of the total manure value. (6)
Feed bins are placed in front of each
pen, which facilitates feeding and en-
ables keeping different feeds for each
pen if desired. Some of these require
ments may seem pretty nice for swine
according to the old ideas, but they are
correct and important to success in
raising the best pork.

Australian Mails Record Trip.

The most important mail that has left
Australia in years for London recently made
a record breaking trip. The mail consisted
of BAT sacks and contained many documents
for the British parliament. At Sidney it
was put on board the steamer Ventura,
steamship sailing under the American flag
and built only last year for the Oceanic
Steamship company at the Cramps ship
yard in Philadelphia. The trip across the
Pacific occupied just 81 days, the former
time having been 26 days. From San Fran
cisco the mail was hurried east on special
fast trains on the Southern Pacific Ogden
line), Union Pacific, and Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy railroads, but arrived in
Chicago too late to connect with the fast
mail train of the Lake Shore and New York
Central, which is 24-hour train from Chi
cago to New York. A special train was made
up and attached to one of the fastest en-
gines on the Lake Shore line. The regular
train was overtaken at Toledo, and the hour
and half lost time was made up. At Buff
falo the regular train was made into two
sections by the New York Central with the
mail cars, including the Australian mail, in
the first section. New York was reached
three minutes ahead of schedule time. At
New York the mail was delivered to the
Campania and that vessel left on regular
time. Barring accidents or unusual delays
it will be delivered in England in several
days shorter time than ever before.

BIG RAILROAD IMPROVEMENT.

A unique excursion was recently arranged
by the Union Pacific Railroad company.
About sixty newspaper men, representing
the leading journals of the country, were
invited to take trip on the Wyoming di-
vision, "The Overland Route" for the pur-
pose of viewing the stupendous engineering
achievements recently made on that line.
The train was made up of two private
cars, three Pullman palace sleepers, a dining
car, drawn by one of the new compound en-
gines, with an observation demonstrated
on the same plan as trolley car-ahead of
the engine.
One hundred and fifty-eight and four
tenths miles of new track laid, reducing the
mileage between Omaha and Ogden by 30.47
miles, and reducing gradients which varied
from 45.4 to 976S feet to the mile to maxi
mum OF 1873 feet, and curves from to de-
grees, while great deal of bad curvature
has been eliminated entirely.
A mountain removed and lost into a
chasm; huge holes bored hundreds of feet
through solid granite, an underground river
encountered and overcome; an army of men,
with all sorts of mechanical aids, engaged
in the work for nearly year; the great
Union Pacific track between Omaha and
Ogden made shorter, heavy grades elimi
mated, and the business of the great Over
land route flowing through new channel,
without the slightest interruption.
Millions of money have been spent to re-
duce the grades and shorten the distance.
This reduction is the result of straighten-
ing unnecessary curves, and the construc
ton of several cutoffs between Buford and
Bear river, Utah.
The curvature saved is about one-half,
the grading about the same, while the angles
are reduced nearly two-thirds. The SUI
periority of these changes is apparent to the
practical railroad engineer It is also ap-
parent to the operating department in the
reduction in operating expenses, and to the
traveller in the increased speed the trains
can make.
The new line runs due west from Buford,
avoiding the high hills and eighty-foot grade
from Cheyenne, and piercing through cuts
and the big tunnel, crosses the Black Hills
at grade of less than one-half (43.3 feet)
over mountain attitudes.
From constructive standpoint the line
is remarkable for the amount of material
required in the construction of immense
tunnels through solid rock. The construc-
ton of the new line between Buford and
Laramie alone has involved the excavation
of 100000 cubic yards of material, one-third
of which Exclusive of the tunnel excava-
tion) has been solid rock, of something over
100000 cubic yards per mile.
Too much credit for this work cannot be
given to Horace G.. Burt, president of the
Union Pacific railroad, and his assistants.
The excursion was replete with many in
terestng incidents, and the splendid hos
pitality of the Union Pacific officials was
revelation. The newspaper men evinced
their appreciation in many ways, particu
larly in a resolution of thanks to the Union
Pacific officials, General Passenger Agent
Lomax, and Messrs. Darlow, Park and
Griffin.
