people were visited by representa-
tives of the Denver, Enid and Gulf
who are mapping out route from
Guthrie to Denver. The gentle
men who were here are Ed. L.
Peckham, vice president of the
company and general manager, of
Enid; G. E. Hunter, ,townsite agent,
Enid; ]. w. Beatty, engineer,
Blackwell, and Hon. A. I. Titus,
of Cherokee, who while not being
connected with the company, con-
sented to accompany them on ac-
count of his acquaintance with the
people in Barber and Pratt coun-
ties and his general knowledge of
the country. From here the
gentlemen went to Pratt, arriving
there on Thursday evening,
The points which this line will
connect are Denver and New
Orleans. 1t is financed by the
Mississippi Valley Trust Company
of St. Louis, capitalized at
$3,ooo,6oo.oo and has surplus of
$5,245,IOo.OO. II. Breckenridge
Jones, its president, has a reputa-
tion second to none west of
Chicago as fnanceer. Mr.. Peck
ham, the vice president and man
ager, is not slow as a railroad
builder himself. He has started
several roads during the past sever
al years, among them what is
commonly known as the "Bes'
line blackwell, Enid & South
westerly in Oklahoma, a very
successful road.
The D. f. & G.. road which this
company is now planning is al
ready in operation between Guth-
RE and Enid. it is said that the
Frisco, Rock Island, Katy and M.
K. & T. lines are all interested in
it and it will connect with all of
them so that the route to Memphis
and the Gulf will be both short
and fast. The.r route through Bar
Der county is now merely under
advisement. 1t is pretty certain
that the road will strike Kiowa if
the citizens down there show that
they want it. From there it NAV
come to Medicine Lodge and
north and west to Pratt, or the
road may diagonal the county from
Kiowa to Turkey Creek in order
to reach the gypsum output. Mr..
Peckham was very much interest
ed in our gypsum product and has
concluded to give it very careful
consideration, for he readily sees
that this product alone properly
developed would be sufficient to
Justify the building of the road
through that section of the county
This route could also be made
without interfering with the Great
Bend Southern which contemplates
running from Great Bend to Alva,
and it would at the same timd Sc
cure the cooperation of the D.
K. & A. people who are now con-
templating line from Bucklin to
Anthony-that is, a Conso lidation
might be affected between the two
companies.
Mr.. Peckham says that this road
is sure to be built from Enid north
west to Denver connection but
he is not prepared to say what
territory it will traverse. He does
say, however, that when the
company gets ready to make a
proposition to township, city Oh
county, it stands ready to indem-
Nifty the municipality for as. much
as the company asks in return,
conditioned that the road will be
built within a certain time.
The Index hopes that Medicine
Lodge may secure this road as well
the Great Bend Southern.

went from Charlestown, South Carolina
to Porto Rico. on the cableship Burn

took fifteen days to get from Charles

the distance without convoy. Troops
from her were the first American SOL

went ashore on the very first boat. He

Z Have you any suggestions as to

terday for which payment must be
made"
TAKE THE BULL BY THE HORNS.
I'm that regard I would simply say
take the bull by the horns, as executive,
and get the work done. The principal
objection to calling the Legislature is
that we don't know where it will wind
up. We have to tatle chances. 1t is
necessary to have appropriations for
running expenses. AS to whether a
County Act can be drafted not in con-
fiict with the Organic Act, believe one
can be passed. We Nave learned some
law and a lot of practical lessons. De-
fects have been found which could only
be discovered by putting a law in oper-
alton. The next one VIII be an improve
ment not only in legal but in practical
matters
r. w. Breckons was called on and
said that Robertson had nearly express
ed his views, adding a further sugges-
ton as to procedure. THE attorney
general has probably looked into this
section" he said. IF in his opinion the
appropriations of the former legisla-
ture are in force then you are justified
in proceeding on that theory, as he is
the legal adviser. If anyone objects the
matter will be tested, if not, things will
run smoothly I am not in favor of

calling the legislature if the Organic
Act carries over the appropriations Of
the last year.
BRECKONS' STAR OF HOPE.
Il think that county act can be
drafted, or three or four bills covering
the matter. Sooner or later think we
are bound to have il. Any method of
procedure that leaves it in doubt is III
my judgment dangerous. Any idea Of
delay that is unnecessary is dangerous.
There are people here who cry for it
and people in Washington who think it
is a remedy for some supposed evils
here. If we don't provide it 1 think
Congress will do so and in a shape per-
haps that will not be pleasant"
w. o. Smith said that his idea was
to urge the passage of the bill now
pending before Congress, ratifying the
county act. "One of the difficulties has
now come which was discerned when
Mr.. Hatch was sent to Washington, ," he
said The act now pending is very
simple one, providing that our county
act be approved. 1t is a very simple
and direct way out of the difficulties.
I'VE have had two decisions of the
Supreme Court and are much in the
dark as to what kind of an act will be
regarded as valid by our supreme court.
1t seems to me to be matter of regret
that the court could not have passed on
the other questions. There are ques-
lions remaining and we might be sew
eral years passing acts before we got
one that would stand. The simple and
direct remedy is to go to Congress-"
CONGRESS WILL ACT.
Garter wanted to know how about APP
preparations in the meantime. Il be-
lieve that within two or three weeks
Congress will act" said w. o. Smith
In the meantime let the Territorial
government take charge and do what
ever things are necessary, spending on
ly what is necessary" The speaker al
so called attention to difficulties in con-
nection with the criminal law, which
were involved in the plan of appealing
from the supreme court.
T, McCants Stewart was called on
next. He favored moving on Congress
at once. IF the plan mapped out in
the first place by the administration
and its advisors had been carried out
we should not now be in this difficulty"
said he. I'm line with the original pol
icy we had better make an appeal to
Congress, asking Congress to pass the
act as it stands l should also ask for
the passage of the Long municipal bill,
mo citizen will go further than l in
demanding and trying to have honest
and efficient government. But if 1
found from any cause that our govern
ment became dishonest or inefficient or
corrupt, 1 should be as ready as any
to say let us have a change and give
us, say, a government like the District
of Columbia. But until we have given
the matter to the people and have hon
estly tried 1 think any form Of indirec-
ton In dealing with local self-gOvern-
ment is unsafe" AS to the appropria-
lions Stewart didn't think the legisla-
ture had failed to pass them, but that
il had made appropriations.
CONDITIOI, NOT SERIOUS.
Henry e. Cooper when called on said
that he didn't regard the situation as
serious. There Is no reason either for
an extra session OF the legislature or an

HITS POLICE
..... VERY HARD

The overthrow of the County Act will
probably hit the police department a
hard blow. It will be a case Of the
blow that almost killed father. Unless
of course the Legislature is called and
the appropriations of 1908 are again
made for the department. If the de-
partment goes back under the appro-
prations of 1901 then there will be
great CONSERVATION among the mem
bers of the police force. There will
be great anxiety in all departments Of
the local police now until this matter
will have been settled.
High Sheriff Brown succeeded in
getting a number of men added to the
police force and also in having the
sac ries of numerous men on the force
raised by the last legislature. Those
appropriations and additions by the
legislature of 1908 were made however
with the idea of being under County
Government. If however it is decided
by Governor Carter not to call spe-
.cial session of the legislature but to
let the appropriations of 1901 which
were made for the former Territorial
form of government stand, then none
of the benefits that the High Sheriff
secured for his men can be enjoyed by
them.
With the appropriations Of 1901 in
force it Will uecessItate six men from
the patrol watches being dropped, six
mounted police officers being discharged
one less clerk one less turnkey, one
less wagon driver and one less detec-
tive. Where the salaries Of the cap
tains are now $50 their incomes will be
reduced to SIS a month while the pa
trolman viii be cut from SIS to $50 and
the mounted men from 800 to 800 a
month. There will also be other
changes and reductions.

ing sixteen OF the force in the face

OUR OWN SALVATION.

There is no necessity for an appeal
to Congress. We can work out our own
salvation. I believe a county act can
be passed irr accordance with the Or
ganic Act. 1t cannot be done in a mo-
ment, but can be presented to the next
legislature. 1 do not regard the situa-
ton as at all serious
W. r. Harrington said that he believ-
ed that the best way was to appeal to
Congress. He didn't like the idea Of
saying that Hawaii could not pass an
act but some of the best talent in the
country had been employed on It. As
to current finances the best way was
to follow Robertson's suggestion and
take the bull by the norns.
Frank L. Hoogs declined to express
any opinion on a matter so tied up with
legal points
L. A. Thurston, agreeing with ex-
Governor Dole and II. E. Cooper as to
the points they discussed, also spoke on
the decision and on the general advis-
ability of starting county government
Il think the supreme court failed in it's
duty" he said lin leaving the other
points set forth all unsettled. OF course
it had a perfect right to decide the case
on one point and end there, but under
the conditions it migs.t have gone fur
Their and given a decision on all points,
so that if we pass new act, the court
could not draw another point from it's
pocket and decide the act void on
grounds which might have been passed
