Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 2.-Plans
for gigantic railroad with trunk
line connecting Hudson Bay with
British Columbia, Buenos Ayres,

Judge Sullivan might have been

to Judge Barnes as a worthy and gen

and courteous treatment, asking that
the campaign be conducted on a high
plane and in temperate spirit. AT
ter this if his supporters insist on
fabrications and mud-slinging and
their ticket fails to win, the judge
can readily attribute his defeat to

has seen the ticket fail during many

If any individual or corporation will
offer to furnish the labor and material
required to operate The News plant
for the coming six years at the same
amount per month that it has cost
during the past three years, keeping
up repairs and renewals of machinery,
and in addition offer to throw in the
expense of light, heat, water, insur-
ance and taxes, and then if some other
do the same thing at considerable less
per month, one of those offers will be
very promptly accepted. The News
expects to increase it's business ma
terially in the next six years. and if
it could induce some one to make such
a proposition it would consider that it
had snap, and it's proprietor would
lack in business qualifications if he
did not accept it. The two offers
which are before the city council to do
the pumping at the waterworks seem
to be very similar propositions, and
they are entitled to at least serious
consideration from the councilmen.
Both offers contemplate supplying all
the water that the city will need for
the coming six years, one proposing
to pump the water and furnish twelve
arc lights for street lighting at the
same amount per month that it has
cost during the past three years, while
the other proposition is to pump the
water for SSl "A less per month than
1t has cost under present arrange
ments and not furnish the street lights
The city certainly expects to have
more water consumers during the next
six years than il has had during the
past three, and its revenue from rem
tails will be increased accordingly, but
the expense to the city under either
proposition is not to be affected by
the amount of water consumed. II
the city cannot make a contract OF
the character indicated, as seems tc
be the opinion of the city attorney
then of course nothing more is tc
be done, but il such a contract car
be legally made 1t would seem goot
business judgment on the part of the
council to accept one or the Other
! proposition.
