A PRESS ASSOCIATION
An Organization Of Chickasaw
Newspaper Men Suggested by
the Sulphur Journal.

A great many of the editors of
the Chickasaw nation have ex-
pressed a desire OF organizing an
association to embrace the news
paper men of the Chickasaw ma
tiOn, and have suggested Sulphur
as a place of meeting on or about
August /.
We understand the newspaper
men along the Frisco are all in IA
vor of ths suggested organization
and that several along The Sants
Fe have expressed their desires for
the organization.
The Journal is heartily in favor
of it and would like to have an
expression from those who have
not already expressed themselves.
-SulphHF Journal.
The editors of the Express be-
lieve that such an organization
would be productive Of great good
and we suggest that Russell and
Robbins, OF south McAlester,
Suggs OF Ardmore and Baker OF
PauIs Valley take the matter in
hand and work it up. Gall a meet
ing for Sulphur on August l, and
let the leading spirits of fChickasaw
Nation journalism be present
Perfect an organization at this
meeting, and set q time and place
for holding the first regular con
ventiOn. The Chlckasay Nation
is foil Of good journalists and prin.
ters, and any organization which
will result in interchange of ideas
and experiences, cannot help being
benifcial. Our nation is Just now
passing through formative Ieri-
cd, and iDiuence OF tue newspa-
pers in shaping its destinies mus
be considered. We owe it to our
selves to organize, if for no other
reason. Let's hear from others.

Operating Plan For The Rock Is

3 Divisions TO be Maintained
Possibly ALL Present Officers and
Employees Will be Retain
ed--New System Has
Total 13, 600 Miles.

The plans are now under way
for the operation of the merged
lines of the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific and the st. Louis q San
Francisco systems will provide for
three systems, each operated inde-
pendently. There will be, how
ever, an interchange of terminal
facilities.
The three independent systems
which will be maintained will be op-
Grated independently, but in entire
harmony with each other, known as
the Rock Island, Frisco and the
Chicago, Memphis, St, Louis 4
New Orleans.
it is stated that legal eomplica-
tions would follow any attempt TO
merge the Rock Island aud 'Frisco
systems, or should the Choctaw
lines be brought under the operai-
ing management Of the Frisco
system, as certain of the roads in
each system are competitive. 10
the Indian and Oklahoma TeEritor
les the Choctaw completes for local
business with some of the lines OF
the Frisco system. The creation
Of third system furnishes q solu-
tiOus for a troublesome problem.
The three systems " III have a
total mileage of II 800 miles Of
trackage, to which another 500
will be added by the line from
Memphis 10 New Orleans, making
the grand total Is, 900 miles. The
Rock Island has about 5000 miles,
exclusive OF the Choctaw. The
Frisco, exclusive of the lines to
be put into the system, has 1000
miles. Thus the third system will
have 5000 miles, of which 1,500
belongs to Ohociaw, 1900 to the
Frisco between Memphis and Chi
csgo, and 500 to the projected
Memphis New Orleans line.
The operation of three indepen
dent systems will doubtless have
the effect of retaining in the en-
Dloye Of the merged companies.
nearly if not all, of the employees
now on the pay roll of the various
companies. This will be especial
ly true in the operating depart
ments of the three systems. The
announcement that the merged
lines are to be operated in threa
independent systems will be good
news to the officials Of the lines
affected.

LAMB WAS MURDERED.
Man Captured and Accused Of
Placing his Body on the
Railroad Track.

Sheriff Campbell, Of Custer
county, has arrested a man named
Meeks in KiDgfsher county, who is
accused OF killing Leonard b.
Lamb at Washita junction, and
placing bis body on the railroad
track for mutilation and TO cover
his crime. The corOner's jury
pronounced him killed by railroad
accident.
Some women had been ar
rested the morning the body was
found. Lamb had something like
$3.50 in bis shce. The women
knew this and they claim that
Meeks followed him. About the
time Lamb reached the track
theS heard q cry and soon after
the train passed through. II will
be remembered that when found
one shoe was off and lying g short
distance from the mangled body,
1t is also reported that the en-
gineer Of that train saw a man

The Page Concert Entertainments.

The entertainment given at the
opera house last Friday night by the
Page Concert Co., was patronized by a
very good house, considering the
weather. The company consisted of a
quartette of two mandolins violincello
and harp, and the program was made
up of both classical and popular selec-
tions. The harp solos by Lautelle, the
violincello solo by Miss Mcdonald, and
the mandolin solo by Eugene Page,
were strong musical numbers and were
rendered in a very artistic manner.
The overture 'The Bridal Rose'' by
the quartette was masterful rendition.
The quartette was to have played
Faust's Fantasia but substituted ''The
Holy City, which has been profaned
and dragged down from sublime
heights to the gutter by so many
vaudeville performances. However,
the beauty of the classical production
was strongly portrayed. Miss Bing-
ham gave scene from "The Christian"
in which she easily demonstrated her
powers as good reader, but the in
tensely dramatic portrayal of scene
from that popular book, suficed sans
encore, and the balance of Miss Bing-
hams selections were all very funny
and there you have it.. The mandolin
selections by Mr.. Page were mar vicious
manipulations. There is something
mechanical about mandolin that bars
it from fellowship with the violin and
cello, but Mr.. Page is certainly master
of the popular instrument. The snter-
tainment was good throughout There
was nothing cheap about it.

IMPROVED ON NATURE.
A Point That Won a Lawsuit For
William Mckinley.

A year or two after William McKin-
ley had begun the practice of the law
at Canton, O., he distinguished himself
in humorous fashion in one of his
first successful cases. AS often hap
pens in court, the humor was not mere
ly for the sake of the joke, but fer seri-
GUS purpose. Mr.. Edward T. Roe in
'"The Life Work of William Mckinley
tells the story.
The case was a suit against a sur
geon, whom the plaintiff charged with
having set his leg so badly that it was
bowed. Mckinley defended the sur
geon and found himself pitted against
John insolvency, one of the most bril-
liant lawyers of the Ohio bar. ....
insolvency brought his client into
court and had him expose the injured
limb to the jury. 1t was very crooked,
and the case looked bad for the sur
geon. But Mckinley had both his eyes
open, as usual. and fixed them keanly
on the other man s leg.
AS soon as the plaintiff was turned
over to him he asked that the other leg
should also be barred. The plaintiff and
Insolvency. objected vigorously, but
the judge ordered it done. Then it ap-
peared that his second leg was still
more crooked than that which the sur
geon had set.
my client seems to have done better
by this man than nature itself did,
said Mckinley, land l move that the
suit be dismissed, with a recommends,
ton to the plaintiff that he have the
other leg broken and then set by the
surgeon who set the first one"

Speaking Of wood, the Swanville5
News Of last week says The village

record Of 10000 cords shipped during

nineteen wood dealers have bought and

November, Agent Pennie billed out

Agriculture in New Places.

The success of the modern farmer in
difficult places is one of the wonders of
our age. Alaska, for instance, COM
monty considered a land for only min
ing and fishing, is now yielding fairly
good returns from cultivation along
special lines. Western Montana, form
erly desert land, will produce more
bushels of wheat to the acre, when
under irrigation, than Minnesota or
Iowa ever thought of yielding. For
the same money, Golden Grain Belt
beer will do more to make the average
man strong and healthy than bread
and meat, and the man or woman with
weak digestion finds it a tonic of the
greatest value. Order of your nearest
dealer, or be supplied by Henry Veidt,
