LED the PROCESSION.
Oklahoma Has Made the Best Showing
in Railway Building.

in Railway Building.
Guthrie, Q. T., June 30.-During the
past year. Oklahoma has led the process
sion in the matter of railroad building.
Franchise after franchise has been grant
ed: new systems have invided the terri
tory; systems already in the territory
have increased their mileage. and there
are still other lines that are apparently
local IN their nature that have been
built or are now in course of construc-
ton.
At the office of Auditor Baxter the
work OF computing the mileage Of the
varous les has bee completed ad shows
a grad total of les Oklahoma as fol-
lows:
Main lines, 2,o3210 miles.
Side tracks, 426. % miles.
Completed grades 929.01 miles.
This shows a mileage in Oklahoma OF
about $500 miles and speaks worlds for
the development of the branch of this
industry.
In the above statement it should be
remembered that the mileage given does
not include any track laid. or grade made
since February / of this year Neither
does it include the Guthrie. FL Reno &
Western. the Katy extension TO Coalgate
nor the Oklahoma City Orient line. Taken
altogether. the record OF the territory
for the past year in the matter of con-
structing railroads is a wonderful one.
and in keeping with the magnificent de-
velopment and demand Of Oklahoma.

Engineers Bail.

The engineers Thanksgiving ball was
very largely attended and the floor was
crowded from start to finish.
The boys proved themselves-as in
the past-the princes of entertainers, and
all the committees were untlring in their
efforts to give their guests a good time.
The g~uests-ladies and gentlemen-were
presented with choice roses and carna-
tions as they entered the hall.
Over the stage on a shield was "Pleas-
ant Valley Div. 27o, B. of L. E." in gilt
letters. The stage was draped with the
stars and stripes. and lanterns. ETC.,
decorated other parts of the hall.
The music was by the Dickinson or
chestra and was very good-everybody
saying that aggregation is improving
right along"
The supper served by the Episcopal
guild was all that could be asked. The
ladies fed one hundred and forty and
cleared a good sum.
The engineers have not, at this writ
ing, Strengthened out their accounts to
know just what their profits will be-but
they certainly deserve to net a snug
sum-.

Amen, so let it be;
God lives and 'reigns;
His love has made us free,
We praise and bless His name.
We thank and love and praise
His name for every good;
To him our he arts we raise
For health and life and food.
From wars dire scourge his hand
Hath saved us the past year; z
Saved from the plague our land
The land to freemen dear.
From farthest isles OF sea
To blushing hue of morn,
Our hosts shall bow the knee,
And so shall hosts unborn.
Where Aurora Boreal lamps
Change Artic night &c day;
Where southern peoples camps
Build Isthmian water way;
: Through our whole breadth and length
This day we praise thy name;
This day we own thy strength
And bless and praise the same.

RENOVATED BUTTER.
Judge PIatt Dismisses Case Against
 Waterbury Dealer.

Judge Platt Dismisses Case Against
 Waterbury Dealer.
 Tn the United States district court yesterday Judge Platt sustained the demurrer in the suit of the United States against Valentine Bohl, Wa terbury provision dealer Information against the dealer was secured by Deputy United States Inspector Whit taker in February of last year and it was claimed that Bohl destroyed the marks Renovated Butter" on q tub of butter that was sent from h. diana. Tn his opinion Judge Platt says that. the subjects of the act of May g, 1902, are process or renovated butter and the marking and branding prior to transportation. The purposes of the section are to provide for the sanitary inspection of such butter at the place of manufacture. The court says that it is idle to discuss whether or not the tub of butter, when it reaches the wholesalery is still an artl- cle of interstate commerce. The prin- cipal question is, does rule or regu- lation forbidding the obliteration of the brand as charged tend in any manner to aid in the enforcement of strict sanitary inspection and care? The rule was calculated to prevent fraud on the part of the dealer in his rela- tions with the consumer. The judge sustained the demurrer and dismissed the information.

Explains Why So Many Trombones
 are Used by Bapdmaster.
 Editor of the Democrat:
 Would you be so kind as to allow me to say few words in the columns of your valuable paper in regard to an item that appeared in the Sunday Tele- gram about week ago. The article criticised Mir Creatore, stating that he had too many instruments in his band. Some of them were not needed. l think that the man who wrote the critit cfsm is ignorant as to music. MT Cre- atore and his band has been upheld by the leading musicians and the leading newspapers of the country. Perhaps the critic didn't understand why Gre atore's band contains seven trombones. One of them is trombone bass, while the other two are soloists. The other four complete the big musical corps. Why is it that Sousa's band has four flutes? One would be sufficient for any band in the country. I hope that thts famous critic, who has so much to say, will attach his name to such arti- cles in the future so that might make a better reply, knowing who he is. challenge him to prove that any in- strument that Creatore carries is not necessary Thanking you in advance, remain, PROF A. ORTONE.
