WIN ASK for Light Franonlse

II Ia probable that Condor will soon
be supplied With that modern necessity,
AN electric lighting plant.
The Conjon Milling Company has de-
cided to make application to the city
council asking for franchise covering a
term Of years and II the same is granted
plant will be installed in connection
with the mill. The big engine which
drives the machinery at the mill is ca
pable of supplying ample power to oper-
ate both plants aud In the event OF the
electric plant being installed the mill
will be operated day and night. By
adopting such plan this company can
afford 10 put In drst-cIass lighting
plant when perhaps 1t would not justify
parties not engaged in another line ol
business employing steam TO do so.
Mr.. HELEN, OF the @. VI. Co., has had
years OF ex perience rs manager Of large
electricplants, and under his manage
ment the proposed plant will, II Install
ed, no doubt give excellent service to the
Uondon public.

Flowers, Birds and Penknives.


School Superintendent W. r. Neal re-
turned Tuesda from two weeks visit
with his family at Monmouth. lie had
q delightful time Laying in the shade Of
the apple trees. rolling in the luxurant
grasses, inhaliag the perfume OF the
wealth ot flowers, listening TO the music
OF the msriads ot birds as they joined in
sweetest cadence in their morning song
and in other and divers ways "letting
on' to himself that he was boy again.
With oil the attractions OF the Valley as
a pleasant, dreamy outing spot, however,
the professor says IL is too tame a conn'
try for the average bunchgrasser to make
a long stay contentedly. He says the
people there take life easy and he took
notice that the corner grocery loafers re-
liviousIy refrain from whiting the
goods boxes on which they spend most
of their time between meals. They say
whiting is too much like work TO suiI
them and that 1t is hard on pen knife
Mr.. Neale was assured by resident
there that ma ny of the pioneers still
carry the same frog stickers with which
they cut OK gads while crossing the
plains in the '40s aud sos and they are
pretty good knives yet.

Springfield. Mass. Special.-At tho
closing session OF the Colonial Bap-
tist Association resolutions were pass

is charged in the Philippines and the
present state Of the islands compared
unfavorably with conditions under
Spanish rule. On the race situation at
home the resolutions declared that i,
the negro is not fit to vote. he is unfit
to fight for his country and that pro-
lection and allegiance must go togeth-

cabiret that the funds to increase the
navy should be raised by loan in
stead OF land tax. He did not desire
to make foreign politics pretext for
any entente. but the state OF the
weather in the far East was not good
and 1t was necessary that the great op-

property damage to the extent of $780,
OOO was done in the Enid bottoms
alone, by a cloud burst that struck
west of this city. at midnight Satur-
day night The aggregate damage
probably will be much higher ON ac-
count OF losses sustained between
Enid and the seat of the storm. A
bank OF water three feet high and 200
ieet wide. swept down through the
bottoms at midnight, carrying house;
and everything before 1t. Ii came upon
Enid without warning, while most of
its inhabitants were asleep. Within
lew minutes hundred houses were
submerged. Many people lost every
thing they possessed. The means for
relieving distress are inadequate. The
rainfall the past ten days has been
the greatest in the history OF Okla
hona Territory and indications that
more losses will be reported. Renor.s
are very meagre at this time.
