NEW COUNTRY CITIZENS
DEMAND RECOGNITION
Want the Pasture Reserve
Opened to Settlement
at Once.

CONGRESSMAN Bird $ Mcclure was
met. while here last week by a few
prominent citizens of the New Coun'
tryg and he assured these people that
be would do all that he could to get
House Bin No . passed as soon as
possible. This bin provides for the
opening Of tha pasture reserves in the
new counties wii.!!S!!i comprise $685.
acres.
The people at Lawton have formed
an organization for the purpose OF
pushing legislation along this line and
they will doubtless have delegation
nj washington as soon as congress
c0nvenes
Nearly 10000 acres Of this pasture
reserve lie in the southern part
Comanche county and is considered
very rich and valuable land Twenty
thousand acres lie in Kiowa county
The bin is in the senate and viii
probably he acted upon among the
first to be considered It provides fo,
these lands to be auctiohed OF to the
highest bidder. The moneys accruing
from the sale of the lands will be
placed IN the United states treasury
credited 70 the Indians.
II also provides that one-ffth of the
price for ? piece Of land must be paid
down at the time Of purchase and the
remainder in five equal payments IT,
at any time. the purchaser fails 70
make one payment ne loses all rights
and privileges to the land
This biz passed the house March
&c, 1904. The passage Of the bill and
the opening Of the reservation means
that there will be homes made for
more than sOc9 people A proyisio-
was put in the bill that no one per
son shall purchase more than
acres which sort of helps to protect
the poor man,
There IS only one bad feature about
this and that IS that the rich man can
have his hirelings 10 purchase claims
through him and az the same time he

Good progress by most crops

Ingenious Scheme for the Pixies Peak
Railroad.

Ingenious Scheme for the Pixies Peak
Railroad.
To harness the electricity on Pixies
Peak and by means Of metallic cir
cult conduct 1t to the base, there to
be stored for use as motive power for
the cog road-that is the scheme Of
the Manitou and Pixies Peak Rail-
way.
The proposition, according to tho
general manager, Mr.. Sells, is feasi-
BILE, and affords the only practical
means Of employing electricity on the
cog road.
The only obstacle in the way Of
carrying out such plan is the static
electricity with which the air is charg-
ed above the 12,OOO-foot point. The
fact that Pixies Peak overtops all the
surrounding mountains makes it the
natural grounding spot for electricity
that would otherwise be dissipated
over large area.
In the ordinary trolley line power
comes along the trolley wire from the
power station, thence into the motors
| under the cars and returns to tho
earth, completing the circuit
The heavy currents on the peak
coming so quickly and so violently
would, If applied direct, tear the ma
chimes to pieces within week after
operations were begun. The thing to
do, then, is to harness this power and
make it useful.
They propose, therefore, to make a
complete circuit of trolley wire and a
double circuit which shall contain all
the power needed to operate the cars
and at the same time keep 1t from
ripping up the motors in it's desire to
| get to earth.
This double trolley circuit will be
complete in ITSELF starting from the
power house in Manitou and returning
| without going through the earth.
The pole Of the car will take tho
power in the ordinary way and trans
init to the motor, but 1t will return
on tho other wire to the power house
and not through the earth, thereby pre-
venting the burning out Of the motor.
The poles which will carry these
wires will each have at the top a
lightning rod designed to attract elec-
tricity which plays around the peak
SO fiercely. The theory is that the
poles will catch the Juice" and trans
NIT it through the rails of the cog
road to the power-house in Manitou,
| whore it will be transformed and
stored for use. They will take the
electricity off the peak and transmit
to Manitou, where it can be used for
driving trains up and down.
The cog road management have al
ready begun upon plans and specifica.

Washington, D. C.-The report of

a condition of affairs in the national
banking business in many OF the states
as has prevailed during the last four

west this is not as perceptible as in
the east, yet the number of banks in
solvent and the number in liquidation
is greater in the western states today
than they were one year ago.
