ceiver is placed on each side Of the
ship, with separate wires from each
other, and by the use Of telephones the
officer is able to hear q bell that is
being struck at point many miles dis
tant from the ship, and determine it's
direction. The officer of the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse states that on the
last trip over, when the ship was four
miles distant from the mouth Of the
river Weser, he plainly made out the
signals conveyed from the ightship
there. Furthermore. as the vessel
neared Nantucket, and when she was
about four miles distant from the light
ship, he heard thru the telephone the
signal H66." This consists Of six
strokes of the bell. pause and then
six more strokes Of the bell, which is
the Nantucket lightship code signal. At
about the same distance from Fire
Island light and from Sandy Hook
ightship the respective signals were
distinctly audible. The value Of this
device in preventing collision between
approaching ships is evident, for it has
this advantage over the foghorn. that
| the direction of the approaching vessel,
whether from port or starboard, is de-
termined at once by the fact that the
sounds are audible to the port or star
lboard telephone.

FOR HOTEL men
CUSTER CITY, Ok, WANTS A
FIRST CLASS &HOSTELRY.
Town Has Outgrown Primitive Ac-
commodat1ons and Offers Fine
Field for a Good House.
Special Correspondence.

CUSTER CITY, Ok, Sept. 19.--In COM
mon with most new towns in new coun-
try, the first settlers and builders of the
majority of Oklahoma towns overlooked
many things that in moreesettled COM
munities are considered imperative ne
cessities. This Is only natural. In the
stress Of rapid building the first consider
alton was to get shelter over their
heads, and the second a place in which
to@ conduct business. Later, with the
towns development, they are satisfied
that whatever is needed will be provided.
The pioneers of town building are al
ways looking for quick results in every
thing they undertake. Because of this
fact, they are satisfied with primitive ar
rangements. The lunch counter and the
"short order" and cheap restaurants
meet all their requirements, because time
is too valuable to be wasted at the table,
and the quicker meal can be disposed
of the better they are pleased. They are
not gourmands, and are never particular
about the quality of the service. For
sleeping purposes "any old place" that
will afford them shelter is considered suf
icient, and hence hotels of the first class
are usually overlooked until the town has
got fair growth. Then the town usual
ly begins to sit up and 'take notice" of its
deficiencies and to be sensitive to criti-
cism on the part of visiting strangers.
Custer City is no exception to this rule,
and Is now "taking notice." 1t has good
reason for doing so. 1t has become a
large distributing point, and this nat
urally attracts a great many travelling
J men to it to drum it's trade, and as the
| roads from here to the inland towns are
much better than from any other point in
! 4 ir1r off OF q
/ great many more If there was first class
hotel here for them to stop at. The drum
mer is fastidious being when it comes
| tn the matter Of hotels, and he is gener-
ally going to arrange his route of trave
| so that his longest stops will be at the
towns with the best hotels. incidentally
! he is generally good spender, free with
his money, and the cash that he leaves IL
town Is matter of some moment.
While the transient trade of Custer
City is Of considerable Importance a
present, as far as the travelling men ar
! concerned, there is no question but tha
it could be doubled or even trebled in
few months If first class hotel was es
tablished in the city. It would then be
come a favorite lay-over place for tn
| commercial men, who would SO arrang
their routes as to lay over here Sundays
A more inviting field was never open t.
All enterprising hotel man. 1t is not onl
the transient trade that he would be as
sured of obtaining, but it is certain tha
he would secure we'll paying and per

ures. Such stories of increase In values
and profits read as If out Of the Arabian
Nights, but they are matters of every
day occurrence down here. The same ap-
preciation of values is going on steadily,
and it will only be matter of few years
when such towns as Custer City and
others that are no better known to the
world at large will be reporting similar
tales Of real estate profits.
The same amazing record Of progress
and development that has marked the ca
reer of Oklahoma since it's opening is in
fallibly bound to occur in the Indian ter
ritory. Practically the characteristics of
the country and climate are the same,
and the same prolific agricultural yield
is found in each. In the Indian territory,
however, while there is abundance of land
to be obtained, and at reasonable prices,
the Indians, who own 1t, are prohibited
by certain rulings of the Interior Depart
ment of the United States from disposing
for some years to come of more than a
certain percentage of their allotments.
r. Good Land for Cotton.
The south two-thirds of Indian terri
tory is within the cotton belt, and large
percentage of the land within these linn
it's is excellent for this staple. A bale Of
cotton to the acre is not uncommon, and
even more is often picked. 1t is crop
that the poor man can raise profitably.
The cotton industry of Indian territory is
already important, and will naturally be-
come more so every year. &r....
All fruits of the climate seem to do well
in the territory. Apples do especially
we'll in the northern half and the display
of this fruit at the st. Louis Worlds Fair
attracted admiring attention. Peaches
are surer in the south half, but can gener-
ally be depended upon all over. Pears
seem freer from blight than farther east,
and are good bearers. Plums, cherries,
and all berries are in their element
Grapes grow rapidly and produce enor
mously. Expert vineyardists predict a
great future for the hill districts of the
territory, and especially in the growing
