a PIPE Line AND FACTORIES.

Guthrie must connect with the oil
and gas wells by pipe line be that
pipe line long or short. The CONNER
cial interests Of the city imperatively
demand It. It is a thing which can be
accomplished without the expenditure
OF o1e dollar. of public money. At
least two companies have signifled
their willingness TO put in the pipe
lines without expense to the city and
reasonable terms can no doubt be Sc
sured In exchange for the franchise
With oil of the best refining grade
selling for 81 cents per barrel at
sapulpa. 1t Is clear that a pipe line
can make such rate in Guthrie. that
it would at once become popular fuel
supply and secure reduced rates in all
other sources of fuel. The expense OF
transportation over a pipe line is very
low and would at once put Guthrie in
a position to offer TO manufacturers all
the advantages Of oil and gas in addi-
.~a to her unequalled facilities for
transportation and proximity to the
market
II in the meantime oil and gas are
discovered near the city, as there is
every reason TO believe there win be,
so much the better. Il will reinforce
the pipe line or perhaps start the flow
in the other direction. Unless there Is
a decided change in the development
of oil in Indian Territory and Okiaho-
ma It will result in putting in a pipe
line to the gulf
The discovery Of oil and gas, in
such exhaustless quantities right here
at our very doors opens door Of op-
portunity so wide that a far seeing
business community can not afford TO
fail TO enter in. These are great facts
that SO materially affect our indus
trial and commercial supremacy that
we can not afford to be silent and
inactive. We can take that course il
we like but It does not lead to success.
The Oh and gas from these fields
win be utilized. Il win be piped
somewhere and the only question for
as TO beside Is whether il shall be to
Guthrie.
With these advantages factories,
which are at present looking toward
this city. viii decide and come at once,
so soon as they know upon what basis
they can secure fuel It viii furnish
a basis on which 10 do business in
competition with towns OF the gas belt.
10 which we can add the superiority Of
our facilities and location
The time 10 foster enterprises IS
when they want 70 come, That means

AID THE CYCLONE SUFFERERS.


A dreadful calamity has befanen the
people Of Snyder and vicinity. The
cyclones fury has dealt awful death
in its course. The hundred or more
victims and the hundreds Of distressed
relatives and friends are doubly bereft
Of kinsmen, neighbors and property.
Absolute desutution and death reign
at the late scene of happy homes.
This only furnishes the opportunity
to indulge that fellow feeling for suf-
fering humanity that shows forth the
noblest quality in the human race. 1ato
the gap torn by the awful cyclone, the
yearning hearts Of the people Of Okla
homa and their purses too have been
flung. There is but one thought and
one expression. and that relief
When it became known that there
was suffering, even before any definite
news c4T5 come, relief trains and
anxious helpers were on the way to
the scene Of the disaster. Every man
in the city joins with Mayor Duke in
his expression Of sympathy and desire
to help. There is work to do and
means needed and We will not be slow
TO do our part
Not only the immediate needs Of the
sufferers must be met but they must
be aided substantially In re-establish-
ing their homes and getting start. In

the practical part as with the senti.

tax pp big discounts and make big
profits both out Of the materials and
the warrants
Yet this is just the system Of the old
city administration. They even sought
to force il upon the new administration
and accomplish their purpose by spend
ing all the money and leaving a deficit
of $4,000 without any funds on which
to run nine OF the principal funds Of
the city for four months yet TO run be
fore the June taxes viii be turned
over to the city treasurer by the coun-
ty treasurer.
The prospect for city officers and
employees is none too encouraging with
a balance shortage on April l1th Of
s111400. This account at that time
presents one Of those peculiar condi-
tioEo. which is a fair illustration Of the
methods Of the late defunct business"
administration. There are S431261 Of
warrants outstanding and drawing in
terest while there is cash on hand in
this fund to the amount Of $319S.61.
OF course this lacks sl,114 Of paying
the outstanding warrants. but it might
have been applied and the interest
stopped on that much
This small item which only amounts
to a matter of $500 per month would
nor have been mentioned did it not
represent the condition of eight or ten
other funds and did it not call to mind
SO vividly the sever bond fund Of
sos. 900. which lay in the treasury
while the bonds drew interest, or
rather perhaps while both bonds and
money lay in the bank. Yet these are
the things that the "old gang called
prosperity and progress" Perhaps
So but hardly to the benefit Of the
people.
Stung by defeat and the exposure Of
such methods, there are still a few
left OF the "old gang" in the present
council that propose now to operate as
obstructionists and hamper the new
administration in every way to prevent
them from carrying out their pledge to
give to the city a good. clean, economi.
cal administration and to conduct the
business affairs and police and other
departments in an efficient manner
However, the new finance commit.
tee, of which DR.. A. c. Hixon is chair
man, will take things as they find them
and propose making a vigorous effort
TO put the city on cash basis, thus
enabling tue city to once more make
reasonable business contracts without
the hampering effect Of the overdrawn
account and the unpaid warrant
nuisance.
It is about time to cover up a few
personal and political sores and lend
a hand to the problems of city finance
and government.

Far up In the northern peninsula OF
Michigan. in the land of the big woods,
copper mines and lumber Jacks coIn-
try little settled where big game abounds
IN interesting E.-labers, is the home Of
Miss Dolly Banker.
She does not prepare the evanescent
corrections with impossible names, but
coed substantial dishes, tho kind that "A

Upon the farm in the clearing woods
Miss Banker, an unmlndful Of the ro-
nance which was nearing her way,
continued to cook and serve well pre-
pared food to the members Of her
family.
Win shanblin of Chicago has had
moie strange and unusual experiences
than are given TO the average man. For
twelve years OF the thirty that he has
lived, shanlIlin has wandered over the
country wherever his fancy took him,
entirely heart free.
He is sportsman Of experience vide
ana varied and has killed bear and oth-
er big game in al parts of America.
Last summer the longing for the
chase Of the savage black bear came up
on him in a manner not to be denied. He
packed his guns and camp outfit and
with a party Of friends took the train for
northern Michigan. There, in the woods
they pitched their tents. 1t was at the
end Of a strenuous days hunt chat the
party saw smoke from farm house
chimney rising in the air They were
wet and tired and hungry. The farm
house had an appearance and suggested
cooking and good things to eat. and the
weary hunters with one accord agreed
to make an assault upon the farmer s
table.
Dolly Banker the farmers daughter,
welcomed them into the house and
placed before the hungry hunters a meal
that satisfied their appetites and made
them feel very grateful towards the
pretty girl who waited upon them so
demurely
shanklin had met women OF many
kinds, from the squaw Of the Alaskan
Indian to the soft eyed senorita Of the
south. but never had he felt the arr

ate that meal in the farmhouse in north
