WHAT THE Ell RENO FIGURES SHOW.

The new country when settled will not differ much in the
character inhabitants from original Oklahoma and its
Iater,accessions thought for time there would be
large influx Of Texans the lands about to be formally
opened but the figures published yesterdays Eagle show
that only about eight per cent Of those who drew claims
hailed from the Star state only nine per cent from
the Territory whose people largely of Texan
origin Combined they form only eighteen per cent Of
those who were successful the drawing On the other
hand people Of Oklahoma proper who largely Of
Kansan origin forty eight per cent while the Kansans
themselves drew III per In other words the direct

the names have drawn but there is every reason to
presume that the same ratio OF chance will continue during

COLD STORAGE COMBINATION.
w. r. Stevenson Say Prospective
Buyers Must the Money.

W. f.. Stevenson. when asked last night
about the story that the cold storage plants
Of the country are about to be combined
and that the big establishment OF the In
~dianapolis Cold Storage Company will like
ly enter the combine, said:
The truth about the matter is this. We
have been approached by brokers with re-
quests TO give them options on our holdings
Of stock in the Indianapolis Cold Storage
Company, but 10 all these suggestions we
have replied: If you want 10 buy us out.
put up your stuff. So far this has not been
done. or course, if they offer our price they
will get our stock. Mr.. Stevenson is one
OF the largest local stockholders of the In
dianapolis Cold Storage Company. He said
that much OF the stock is held by Eastern
parties, but that the plant cannot be sold
without the purchase or the local hold
ings. The indianapolis p is capital
lied at $500 eco and the stock is esteemed by
its owners 10 be worth par. The company
has prospered surprisingly, a fact that is
ascribed to the admirable location OF its
plant, Indianapolis being a great shipping
center. IL is known that the men who are
forming the combination of cold storage
plants realize that on account OF its SUI

effective. The statement is made that one

engineer this combination. In case il be-
comes a reality. the cold storage plants OF
the country will be managed more economi-
cally. produce being shipped 10 the nearest
plant instead OF TO a widely distant point.
