Important Irrigation Visitors.

Three of the men who are intimate
ly associated with j. w. Wilson and
with the Kuykendall- Wilson Devel-
opment Company, in the irrigation
scheme that is now being pushed to
the front in this country, are expect
ed here today, to look over the
ground. Messrs. Luther and Clum-
pet, the former a capitalist of Chica-
go, and a MIR. Loudenbeck, an expert
of the Trust company, which has I'M
dertaken to market the bonds of the
company, will be accompanied by
Hon. John Nj. Kuykendall, the Wes-
tern Manager. They expect to spend
several days in looking over the

THERE is a great deal OF quiet interest
being taken in the oil question in this

repeatedly expressed the belief that oil
underlies this city and the residents oil
ton that there is every indication of an

quite probable that this entire valley il

for Woodward. The Sun is not in favor
of capital punishment. Far more is
gained by placing II man behind the
bars for the rest of his natural exis-
tance than by taking his life outright.
To hang, shoot, or electrocute "a man is
simply legalized murder. But there is
a far more potent reason against capital
punishment than any that is daily ad.
vanced. 1t is this: When a man is
slain he is but deprived Of his physical
body. He is just the same man as be.
fore, only capable Of doing a thousand
times more mischief, in that the man,
with all his desires, tendencies, etc, lie
at liberty TIC roam over the country,
seeking revenge and melting others to
commit crime, Whereas, il he is con
fined in Il cell, his limit OF influence ia
bounded by that cell. We are very
well aware that very few people will
conincide with this view-but it is the
correct one just the same.
