Chicago. Feb. 2-when Maude Hodge,
seeking divorce from Claude Hodge,
turned appealingly to the Judge and
asked. Should wife press her husbands

question.
Society women said that tailors and
Wallets had hong since relieved them OF

that II is the wife's pleasure. not her

FLOUR MILLS
IN OPERATION
There Are Sixty of Them in
Oklahoma.
OUTPUT is ENORMOUS
Territory Flour Goes to Many
Markets Abroad.

Guthrie, Q. T., Jan. 11.-At the present
Grafton in the territory. half of them be-
ing owned and operated by incorporated
milling companies having total capital
ization of over 81 10000 \ large number
of these corpora tions represent an invest
ment of from s5o,eoo to sl50.00o according
to reports filed in the governors Office.
AS the principal wheat-growing district
lies west of the main line of the Santa
Fe railroad, this area OF wheat produc-
ton influences the location of mills, and
it is thus that twenty-four of the mills
in operation are located at points on and
west of the Santa Fe railroad.
The output of Oklahomas -four mills
ST three years has been
something enormous and the products are
distributed from the British provinces
on the north TO the gulf states on the
south. and vast amount of Oklahoma
flour has been going into the export trade
and is no small factor in the ports of
Galveston, Baltimore and New York.
Indian territory, Arkansas and the Texas
Panhandle all purchase Oklahoma -four
and get more from here than anywhere
else.
ya. " is y fact that the milling business
In Oklahoma is yet in its infancy. About
.e ~ea erected during the
past year. the capacity of number of
others was increased, so that the increase
in capacity during the twelve months
past has exceeded 25 per cent.
Flour manufacturing in the territory
has proven generally successful and but
few lines of enterprise have shown such
good results. There has not been nota-
BILE or conspicuous failure in the flour
mill business in the territory, and out OF
the sixty concerns established mere than
twenty have made records of conspicuous
success.
In order TO properly handle the an
nually increasing grain crop of the ter
ritory. many elevators have been erected
and the capacity of the old ones in
creased. Oklshoma wheat is shipped to
foreign markets via Galveston and be-
cause Of its excellent quality has gained
and merited a high reputation abroad.
Grain is inspected by the territorial grain
inspector and is graded at all the ele-
va tors, thus resulting in more satisfac-
tory returns to the shipper. A uniform
ity of grading is a necessity.
The Grain Dealers association of the
territory has furnished the data of the
territorial elevators showing the total
elevator capacity TO be 3.252. 900 bushels.
The total capacity per day of the -four
ing mills of Oklahoma aggregates 1885
barrels.

ARREST OF GUILTY.
Some One Has Made Two Attempts to
Destroy a BRIDGE.

Guthrie, O.. T, Jan. 1.-THE report
comes from Snyder of two unsuccessful
attempts to destroy the wide bridge built
across the Dry Otter for the purpose of
admitting the crossing of the large NOV
ing trucks carrying houses as wide as
fifty feet. The bridge was built last
summer after the two towns of Noun
tain Park and Snyder had reached an
agreement by which the buildings of the
former place We're to be removed to the
latter. The feeling at the time of the
agreement ran high, as there were plenty
of diSsenters. AS a result, the bridge
was guarded until few weeks ago, when
it was thought feeling had sufficiently
subsided so that no one would risk a
term in the penientiary to destroy it.
Last Tuesday night however, some
one tore away nearly half of the bridge.
This was repaired Wednesday. On
Wednesday night the bridge was fired.
but the fire was. discovered before it had
gained any headway and extinguished.
The citizens of Snyder have placed a
petition signed by nearly all the citizens,
in the hands of Sheriff Morrison. de-
manding a thorough investigation of the
matter and the arrest of the guilty.

PAY OF DEPUTY CLERKS.
They Are Getting Less Than the Men
Under Them.

Guthrie, o. T., Jan. 11,-As matters now
stand in the judicial districts in the In
diam territory the 5000 deputy United
States clerks are working for approx
mately $500 year, says Muskogee dis
patch. This is even less than the men
employed under them receive. and is due
to restrictions placed in the act OF Feb
ruary l9, 1So3 regarding the manner in
which deputy clerks should be paid. An
effort will be made to secure the favorable
consideration of bill authorizing the
payment of these officials by warrants
on the treasury.
All of the recording districts in the west
ern district at least are earning more
than enough TO pay this salary to the
deputy clerks, but the circumstances bind
ing the use of the money thus earned
prevent its application on the salary of
the clerks. Under the act mentioned be-
fore which established the recording dis
tricts a fund was created from the earn
ing of this department, from which only
$500, the recorders salary might be
taken Out of this money he must hire
an assistant at $1,000 year. which leaves
the deputy clerk, who is the, ex-officio re-
corder, but $500 out of his salary. AS
deputy clerk he should receive $1,20o, but
the earnings Of the clerks office must
first pay for all the books used in the re-
cording division; books, stationery and
blanks in the deputy clerks office and
clerk hire at the central office before the
deputy's salary may be taken out. This
does not leave sufficient balance to pay
the deputy's salary, and he must content
himself with the $500 he keeps as eX-offi-
clio recorder and a possible balance from
the earnings of the deputy clerks office.
With hardly an exception, the deputy
clerks as ex-officio recorders are earning
greatly in excess of the sl,Soo a year they
ere allowed, yet are unable to use dollar
of it, and as a result are doing without
their salaries as deputy clerks. In the
Muskogee office alone the recording de-
partment earned at least 5000 In excess
of the recorders salary and the other Of
fees unavailable earnings range from
s2,000 year up.

FIND BURNING HILL.
Three Norman Students Visit the Ar.
buckle Mountains.

Norman. o. T.. Jan. u.-During holidays
Prof. Gould of the University sent
out geological party. composed OF three
young men OF the University. who are
making geology their special study, TO the
Arbuckle Mountains and report on the
formation peculiar 10 that region
Messrr. Lowem, Mathews, Edwards and
Kingkade spent several days in the re-
interesting formations Talking with one
of the settlers" in that part of the
country they heard of a burning noun
tain. The boys supposed, of course. there
might be such thing as a hot sprnig or
something of that nature and did not give
much credence to the report. However,
they sought the so-called burning noun
tain. Following directions they struck
small creek in the mountains and fol-
lowed down its course for some distance
and came finally to a place where they
saw some smoke issueing from the foot
OF 4 tree near the creek bed and from a
a streak running up the side of the hill
At first they paid little attention 10 this,
thinking Ii probably line of brush on
fire. on returning two of the party took
the top of the hill, the other two kept
the creeS bed. When the party on the
hill came opposite the place where they
had seen smoke from below they saw il
from different standpoint and noticed
that the smoke issued from the ground
Upon careful investigation the following
was found: There had been a land slide
from the top OF the hill which was here
like q cliff and ran up 200 feet or more.
The cliff was composed Of shale rock,
dark. shurt-like substance. In falling This
had lodged below and piled against the
side OF the cliff while the outer edge ran
out 20 the creek. The distance from the
cliff side to the creek bed was nearly
loo yards. An enormous quantity OF this
shale had in some way presumably by
scribed
From the foot OF the tree smoke issued
from a crevice about two feet wide and
running 100 yards up the slope 20 the
side OF the cliff The shale on top whence
the smoke and steam was isuing was lishe
in color. Upon digging down two feet
or more the shale was found TO be red
hot The geolosists were at loss 10
conclude the cause OF this remarkable
phenomenon. Higher up the creek in the
other shale cli6 were found very dark
shale. almost like coal formation
Two theories are advanced concerning
this occurrence. One by Mr.. Edwards il
thar the shaie cliff contains some per
cent OF coal and other chemical formations
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1904-01-12

and by spontaneous combustion has be-
come ignited. The other by Mr.. Lowe is
that the cliff has certain chemical COM
position and being near the creek bed
water has percolated through into the
shaIe and chemical action has resulted,
causing the smoke or fumes and steam.
Another remarkable thing about it is
that the smoke or fumes has a peculiar
odor. They are not said to be like any
other chemical fumes
This, of course, is only a small affair,
but yet of sufficient size and Importance
to command our attention and thought
