MANY NEW LINES
FOR OKLAHOMA
Railroads are Anxious to
Acquire Rich Trade Of
the Territory

The report Of the territot. al board OF
railway assessors will show large
increase in railway mileage in Okla
homa over the report made last year
The returns from the various rail
roads are being compiled for the use
Of the assessors at their ennual meet
ing. while there has not been SO
much talk of railroad building during
the past six months as was the case
prior to that time, yet the worl mas
been progressing rapidly and the midi
cations are that more lines Of railroads
in Oklahoma will be constructed dur
ing the next few years than ever be
fore. Every few days charters at the
secretary's office denote that new
roads are to be built. In many cases
these roads are being financed by To-
cal capitalists, later to be disposed OF
TO some system which is desirous Of
reaching some portion OF the terri
tory heretofore untouched by it.
That the building of railroads in
Oklahoma has only begun is borne out
by the statement of man promin-
eat in railroad circles. who said:
1T is my prediction that within the
next three or four years Oklahoma
people will see many new roads built
This territory is yet new There are
many portions of It practically un-
touched by any road Especially Is
this true OF the western part OF the
territory. The land is certainly fertile
and with railroads to transport pro
ducts the growing of small grains VIII
he encouraged. Even If small grain
is not grown, vhy not have railroads
to transport live stock to market and
promote the live stock business as
well as other business? AT the pres
ent time there seems to be consider
able rivalry among railroads to reach
certain points. but this in my estima-
tion does not amount to much for the
head of each railroad knows what
the road intends to do. With no set
backs in regard to crops Oklahoma
people may look for many new lines
in the near future
THAT railroads help make countries
there is hardly any question, and win
good crop years and with railroads
Oklahoma will be more prosperous
than she has ever been"

honors with every body. Mr..
Harry Barlow as "Dady Grub

A STRONG PREACHER.
Rev. R. L. Phelps Delivers Earnest
Messages at the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church.

Wednesday night at the 'Cumber
land Presbyterian church the tai
ented preacher delivered an able
discourse appropriate to h (
Thanksgiving season from the tex
Happy is the Nation Whose Goe
is the Lord" He began by giving
a beautiful survey Of Gods dealing
with the Hebrews from the time oi
Abram on down till the time Of
King David, when the words of the
text were penned. He spoke Of the
forty years Of prosperity during
the time of David and Solomon,
due to their loyalty to Jehovah and
the disaster which finally came to
the nation because of the sin and
disobedience of the people He
made it clear that any nation, and
people are happy and prosperous
when true to God and that destruc-
ton always follows in the wake of
sin. He illustrated this by refer
ring to France when this nation
was prosperous aud happy under
Saint Louis, the pious ruler, and
when on account Of the introduc-
tion Of in6del writings, the nation
was demoralized with wars, blood
flowing along the streets like water
after a heavy rain. He further
showed how that Providence kept
concealed this western world until
after the Reformation and how it
was then settled, mostly by
Protestants, and became
Protestant nation. lie said, Some
people in these latter days, say that
God is not in history and has very
little or nothing to do with nations
and peoples; I say he has all to do
with them"
He concluded by saying what is
true with Gods dealing with ma
tions is true in.his dealings with inl
dividuals. Loyalty to God brings
happiness and peace; disobedience
to Cod brings disaster, unrest and
defeat.
Thursday afternoon his theme
was equipment for service. " He
gave out about twenty Bible refer
ences and commented upon them
as they were read. This, indeed,
was very profitable to those who
really wish to become efficient SER
wants for the Master.
Thursday night the audience was
the largest of the meetings thus
far. The text was found in Isaiah
6, 8; and the subject being, Gods
Call" Isaiah had visions Of God
and was over -awed by Gods holi-
ness. So must every one have
some kind of spiritual vision of
God before he really can hear Cod 5
call and enter into his service.
Isaiah also had vision of self and
pronounced himself as one Of un-
clean lips. So must every one have
a true vision of his own wicked, de-
ceitful self. No one can come
into a position to progress towards
God until he sees and realizes his
own impurity and his own need.
Isaiah lips were then touched
with a live coal from off the altar,
representing to poor, sinful man
that his heart must be cleansed by
Divine Grace.
Rev. Phelps sermons are forceful
and effective and he holds the at
tention throughout. With no eff
fort at display he breaches easily
and naturally and compels ones at
tention by his simplicity, his clear
ness and his strong thoughts. The
interest in the meetings is grow
ing.
