Bowling Contest
Chickasha Bowling Alley Team
Wins the Game.

Last night about eight O'Clock
Captain Thurman of the Headlight
Alley team appeared i'll the door
way of the Chickasha Bowling
Alley and challenged the boys
for a three game contest. The
Chickasha Bowling Alley boys
never being known to refuse a
chance to show their skill at ten
pins, accepted the challenge at once
and i'll the short period of fifteen
Tinutes the game was on. Strikes
spares, errors and splits were wit
messed by quite a crowd Of lockers
on, but each game showed that
accuracy to place the balls rested
with the Chickasha Bowling Alley
team. Each man did his best to
beat his following partner and this
always makes a game moro inter
esting. Those representing the
Headlight Alleys were Messrs
Thurman, Perry and Miller and
their opponents were Messrs L,asley
Brashear and Will Beavers.
The scores made in the first
game were fair with exception of
little hard luck for Lasley and
Miller The chickasha Bowling
Alley team won by o. pins.
The second game is one Of the
best team games ever rolled on
Chickasha Alleys. Hard luck
hefalls Miller again. The Chicka-
sha Bowling Alley team win again
by I6I pins.
The third game shows splendid
team work and good average
score. The Chickasha Bowling
Alley boys win the game by g.
pins.
The score stood as follows.

ON STATEHOOD
The Situation as Viewed by Clar-
ence Douglas of the Mus
kogee Phoenix
WILL PASS BEFORE MARCH a
Several Amendments Will beagreed
Upon No Mixed Schools.

Guthrie, o. T., Dec. 77.-The
Muskogee Phoenix gives the state
hood situation as it appears to the
editor, who has been in Washing
ton recently:
The Hamilton statehood bill
which after the holidays will be
called up by Senator Beveridge and
made the unfinished business Of
the senate, is to the people of this
territory the most important meas
ure ever introduced in congress.
The bill as passed by tine house has
been amended in some particulars
by the senate committee on terri
tories, and in some details may
possibly be further changed by the
senate, or when it goes to confer
ence. As reported by the COM
mittee the city Of Muskogee is the
only place named where court will
be held in the eastern judicial dis
trict, composing what is now In
dian territory In the western
judicial district of Oklahoma terri
tory. Guthrie and Oklahoma CITY
are named rs court towns, the
teru- to alternate; this was a COM
miteee amendment. Ardmore and
South McAlester are represented
in Washington and strenuous ef-
fores have been made to get these
places named as court towns all Of
which, however, have so far failed.
The Ardmore delegate has srrang-
ed to have a United States senator
offer an amendment including that
town when the bill is before the
senate, but it appears now that il
is not probable that this feature Of
the measure will be changed. In
the hurry of the adjournment the
paragraph referring to the prohi-
bition question was omitted from
The printed bill as reported and af-
Ter this fact was called to the at
tention of the clerk of the commit
tee, the issue was suppressed and

This amendment will probably
not b. resisted and was agreed to
by Oklahoma and Indian Territory
delegates in Washington. That
the measure will pass before March
4 seems practically certain. So
anxious was the senate committee
on territories to get it before the
senate that they refused to give
hearings while in session to any
one and the only opportunity Of
ferred lobbyists to discuss the
matter with senators was prior to
and after meetings and i'll the cor
ridors. Had Mr.. Beveridge, chair
man of the committee, not been
in earnest he would have asked
interested parties to appear before
the committee and it would have
required all the remainer of the
session to have listened to those
desiring 10 discuss its various
features. Considering the magni-
tude and importance Of the bill it
is remarkable that the senate com
inittee made so few changes in it
as passed by the house. This in
dicates a desire on the part of the
leaders Of the senate to avoid frict-
ion with the house i'll the conference
and emphasizes the fact that the
bill is to be passed. 1t is not
thought at Washington that the
bill will be recommitted to the
committee, Notwithstanding Sen
ator Bates motion to that end

with its passage comes a delegation

of the new state and through them
the defects ir the bill can and will

Effect Of Army Routine.

Visitors to army headquarters on
Governors Island often notice that Of

written or printed record for the most
triiiDg questions of fact. They never
rely upon memory for even unimpOr-
taut matters of routine which civilians
would no more think of forgetting than
a hardened commuter would think of
forgetting the time of his morning
train to the city. Ask an officer in

FARMING BY ELECTRICITY.
In Illinois They Expect to Use the Cur
rent for Flowing.

Kane county, Illinois, has taken the
lead in utilizing electricity as a power
for farms. The current that is used by
the electric railroad lines is being switch
ed to- the farms through which the roads
run for the purpose Of running feed
choppers, pumping water, saving wood
operating creameries and for many other
purposes.
During the first part OF the present
year a number of experiments were made
by progressive farmers whose land IS
worth from 500 to $125 an acre. The
best parts of the county of Kane are
reached by the third rail electric systems,
and it has been the current that has been
generated by one or the other of these
extensive lines that has furnished the
power for some severe tests.
During the first six months Of 19O4
George p. Lord by the use of an cleo
trio motor installed on his farm thrash
ed corn, cut feed, ground grain, separat-
ed milk, pumped water, and sawed wood
at an average monthly expense OF S4.40.
This work was done in 60 per cent less
time than if it had been done by hand
power.
Kane county is the first community
OF farmers and dairynlen in this country
to make an extensive practical use OF
electricity on the farm, and it is claimed
the power will be made use of to plow
the fields and to cultivate crops. Many
farms employ electricity to illuminate
farm homes and buildings. At the Kane
county farm new barn has recently
been completed, and in it has been in
stalled q powerful motor that cuts all
Of the feed required for the big instltu-
ton and in doing great variety of other
work.
When one stops to consider the Won
derful spread of the electric rail lines,
which are the means Of supplying cheap
power to the farms, some idea of the pos
sibilities in this line may be had. If the
farmers take to the use of electricity as
a farm power they will have abundant
opportunity to contract for supply Of
the current that the rail lines are wiring
across the fields from one end of the
State TO the other.
