Donation vs. Taxes.

Col. Sidney suggs. Ardmore, ]. T.
Dear Sir. On the 18th instant
we submitted to the city council Of
Ardmore the following letter:
1--WE are authorized by the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Re Railway com
pany to say that It has decided to
donate the sum of three hundred dol
lars to the city OF Ardmore to be
used in such manner as the mayor
and city council see fit There being
no law in the Territory authorizing
the collection Of taxes from railroads,
this donation is made In lieu of taxes
which might otherwise be collected. I"
In your issue Of the 18th instant lG
giving an account Of the the proceed.
ings OF the city council OF the 18th,
you refer to the fact that we have
offered on behalf of the railway com
pany to donate the sum of three hun.
dred dollars in lieu of taxes and in
the editorial column you state.
"The donation OF three hundred dol
lars by the Santa Fe system to the
city in lieu of taxes should not have
been accepted by the city council.
Let the Santa Fe pay It's taxes the
same as any individual has to do.
Why accept a tip" from a corpora.
tion any more than from an indlvid-
ual?"
II is a settled law OF this territory
that taxes cannot be collected from
railroads. The Arkansas law which
regulates the assessment and collec-
tion Of taxes against railroads has
never been ynt In force in the Indian
Territory. For some time past we
have been endeavoring to get the
Santa Fe to donate a sum OF money
to the city of Ardmore in lieu OF the
taxes, which, under ordinary condi.
tions. the railroad company would
be required to pay, and we finally
succeeded. as indicated in our letter
to the city council OF May 1S.
We, therefore. call upon you to
publish such disclaimer or explanation
OF the facts as the proprieties OF the
situation demand to the end that the
Santa Fe company. the city council
and ourselves may not be misreprs-
sented to the people Of Ardmore.
Very respectfully,
LEDBETTER & BLEDsOE.

If there is no law requiring rail-
roads to pay taxes in the Indian Ter

seems to be a liberal one. The idea
intended to be conveyed was that
everyone, individual or corporation,
owning property in Ardmore should
pay their proportionate part of the
city taxes.

DR.. Downey Released On Bail and
Then Surrendered.

SEATTLE.-Dr. w. ST. John Down
ely, held under $4,000 bond upon the
charge Of performing a criminal oper-
alton upon Alice E. Cady, resulting in
the death of her unborn child, was out
of Jail part Of a day upon bail fur
nished by Thomas H. Clancy and A. L.
Jaffe, but was returned to custody by
the withdrawal of Jane, who announc-
ed that his father objected to his sign
ing bond for anybody.
AS soon as Mr.. Jaffe notified DR..
Downey of his intention to Withdraw
for the reason above stated, the ply
stefan voluntarily proceeded to the
county Jail and surrendered himself.
An effort will be made to secure an
other surety on the mond and it is be-
lieVed by DR.. DOWney'S attorney that
he will have but little trouble in finding
one.
The case against DR.. DoWney is said
at the prosecuting attorneys office to
be peculiar in one particular 1t is said
that no such case is reported in the
supreme court, and consequently there
is no construction Of the statute in this
state. 1t is probable that similar cases
have been tried, but not appealed to

on a basis Of smaller expense. The
matter of increasing wages is said to
be out of the question and further re-
trenchment in this direction is likely.
Some officials are enthusiastic
enough to believe that the coming year
will show nearly as good and in some
respects better net results than dur
ing the current period or the preced-
ing one They are all~getting the ben
enrs of great improvements, and in
number of instances this will not have
to be charged up against net earnings
of the immediate future. Some OFF,
Gals seem to think that there is
enough grain in the country to tide
over the period of industrial depres-
sion, and, should another year bring
forth good crop results, the roads will
hardly know what lean year is. The
growth of population in the territory
contiguous to the big transportation
companies is constantly increasing,
and at the moment is large enough to
preclude the idea that the roads will
not have a well balanced traffic in the
future.

THE WORK OF JOSEPH HADINSKON
As Superintendent of Horticulture is
in Charge of All the
Gardens.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 21-In ap-
pointing Joseph H. Hadkinson superin-
tendent of Horticulture at the Worlds
Fair, the management showed it's ap-
probation of the splendid work ac-
complished by Mr.. Hadkinson on the
70 acres of land surrounding the pal
aces of agriculture and horticulture.
When Mr.. Hadkinson joined the
Worlds fair force of workers he was
made the head gardener, on the recon-
mendation of Frederic w. Taylor chief
Of the departments of agriculture and
horticulture. Most Of his domain was
a field of barren yellow clay. In less
than year, he has converted this in
to wonderfully beautiful and immense
gardens. There are great lawns as
smooth as a carpet and with a turf as
thick as though it had been growing
for years. There is the siX-acre rose
garden that even last summer yielded
a myriad of blossoms, and gave but
an earnest of the beauty it will present
when the great fair opens. All Of the
,shrubbery installed by Mr.. Hadkinson
has received his personal attention,
and protited by his practical knowledge
AS superintendent of Horticulture Mr..
Hadkinson will be in charge of all
the gardens and also the flowers dis
played in the magnificent cOnservatO-
ries which form part Of the palace
Of horticulture.
Mr.. Hadkinson was born in Man
chester, England. When a youth his
parents emigrated to America and set
tied in Nebraska. He had studied in
the famous botanical gardens in Lon
don, and in his new home he embarked
in the nursery business
He gave that up to accept position
as instructor in horticulture in the
University of Nebraska under Chief
Taylor, who was then professor Of ag-
riculture at that institution. Mr. Had
kinson did the gardening at the Oma-
ha exposition and had charge of Ne
braskas horticulture exhibit at the
Pan American exposition at Buffalo.

That he will make a success at the
Star, there seems little doubt from the
manner in which he presented the first

given without a wait and some of them
were very good indeed. Every one had
a good laugh and seemed to enjoy the
whole performance. The pictures We're
splendid; the comedy act was very
funny and the specialties We're clever.
