LOCOMOTIVES PURCHASED.
Gould Lines After More Economical Transportation-Harding Says There Will Be No New Ex-
 tensions Next Year.

Vice President and General Man ager Russell Harding of the Missouri Pacific Iron Mountain, has awarded a contract to the American Locomo- tive Company of Dunkirk, for fifty freight locomotives for service on the Missouri Pacific Iron Mountain lines. These locomotives will be delivered at the close of the year. The i'm provements which the road has been making the past year, chiefly in the reduction of grades and changes in alignment, are bringing about re- markable results in the way of more economical transportation. The road is obtaining, it is said, on some of it's principal divisions, trainloads 20 per cent larger than those of year ago, without any very material gain in ton mileage. Thus it is figured out that the Improvements made by the com pany are resulting ill economies of from 15 to 30 per cent.
 As touching upon future earnings and the Improvements that are being carried out, Vice President Harding says:
 "The rate of net earnings to gross next year will certainly be larger than it has been this year. "The cost of operating per ton mile will be con- siderably less, and also appropriations for betterments under 'operating ex- penses' will be greatly decreased. grading and relaying the main line ot the Iron Mountain is now practically completed, and work on the small branches will be finished before very long.
 ''For next year we have no new ex- tensions planned. We shall carry on the White river branch and the line on the west shore of the Mississippi Those are the only undertakings that will cut into net revenue next year Of course net earnings depend or gross earnings and they are directly dependent upon crops. At present prospects are good"

Robert High, whom it is supposed, was assaulted and robbed Monday night, June Is, near the Choctaw depot, died Wednesday night at 1O:45 o'clock in the county jail, having been removed there and cared for by order of Judge Scarborough.
 Being pauper and without rela- tives, he was buried in the city ceme- tery at the expense of the county Thursday morning. He died without telling the story of his assault and there are no clues upon which the of ficers may work to find the parties who have through his death from the injuries of the assault, become mur- derers as we'll as robbers.

CROP PROSPECTS
 CONTINUE FAVORABLE

Temperature conditions were more favorable the first part of the week, but during the close were too low for the proper growth of vegetation. Abundant rains have fallen in some sections, and the droughty conditions have been very materially relieved, while in other sections very little rain has fallen and the drouth remains practically unbroken; while crops are not yet seriously affected rain would be beneficial, especially in the north west and portions of the southeast sections. Cotton has experienced g enerally favorable conditions, and the crop, as a rule, is clean and well cultivated, the plant is making good growth, looks well and healthy, and is blooming nicely. Corn has been greatly benefited by the recent rains, and is in all stages of advancement. I some localities it is just beginning to silk and tassel; in others it is in roasting ears, while in others, partic- ularly the southern tier of counties, the crop is practically made, although in a few localities in the southern DOT tion it needs an early rain to insure a cl)p. Wheat harvesting is generally completed. The yield on the whole will be about the average. Oats have been cut and garnered in some sec tions, while in others harvesting is still progressing, the yield is from poor to fair, only very few reports indicating an average or good yield.
 Garden truck and pastures were benefited by the rain. The condition of fruits has improved slightly, there continues some drying up and drop ping of apples and peaches.

TAFT AND THE FILIPIN0S.
Very Plain That the Moros Are De-
ing Left strictly Alone.

Washington. Jan. 31.-The. investi-
cation into the conditions in the Phil
ippine archipelago apropos of the eff
fort to secure legislation for the gov
ernment of those. islands, was begun
by the Senate Committee on the Phil
ippines to-day. w. H. Taft, civil gov
ernor of the archipelago, was the first
witness called. There was a full at
tendance of members of the commit
tee, and Senator Lodge, the chairman,
explained that the committee desired
not only the fullest information con-
cerning the islands, but any advice
that Gov. Taft might offer concerning
the questions at issue. Gov. Taft
said that in all the Filipino or Chris
uan' provinces, there is form of civil
government. There are thirty
Iour of these provinces! The
Moros are all friendly except
few who had never been otherwise
than hostile to the Spaniards. Even
these were now being brought over by
the prospect of trade, of which they
are very fond.
Gov Taft described at length the
commissions tour of the islands to
establish provisional governments.
These governments consist, he ex-
plalned, of a governor, secretary, su-
perlntendent and a fiscal or prose-
cutting attorney. In all cases where the
selection could be made without arous-
ing lealousies, natives have been chos-
en- All these appointments, are tenn
pofary, and next month their success
ois will be elected. When
tne factions were too strong,
americans were placed at the head of
edch provincial government. In all
vases the treasurer and superintendent
were Americans. Gov. Taft said it had
Deen found impossible to put Filipinos
over the Moros. They are subject to
tnelr chiefs and refuse to recognize the
aulnorlty of a Filipino. There were, he
ealu, TWO Sultans, one in Mindanao and
ne other in the Jolo group, but the
auilans do not always control the da-
.os or chiefs. The Sultan of Mindianao

seish OF the Jolos is a thrifty man, who

, uoE TART said that no effort had been
.l ,IauG TO extend the civil government Of
tne United States to the Moro prov
hs, -, beyond making a few suggestions
'Va,Ihg upon the revenue laws.
Nothing has been done in that di-
