EAST AND WEST LINE.
Ono Projscted Through Northern
Oklahoma TO Colorado Goal Field.

OkionOmo 20 Ool0r0dO GOAL Ftoid.
GuruafR, Q. T. Oct., 2e-[Special. !
That an east and west line through
Northern Oklahoma will soon be built,
giving Woodwork and Beaver counties
connections with the rest Of the world
and providing . short line to tho Col.
orsdo coal fields, now seems 70 BE- be-
youd question. The West India Short
Line, promoted By w. 8. McCauii and
L. Underwood, Of Kansas City, seems
TO be taking tbs most active steps in
that direction, but the men interested
in that line expect that they will have
competition. According to er Govern
or, @. M. Barnes, who 10 now in the
field in Western Oklahoma for the
McCaull road, It is simply question
of which line can get it's construction
work started first. Several OF the pro-
jected lines are now away beyond the
paper stage, and the one which can get
its preliminaries arranged in the
shortest order will get possession of
the field.
There have been plenty Of road g
projected to run wet through Beaver
county, but SO far that is the best that
the county has ever been able to get out
of it. The list includes the Santa Fe,
with charter and survey of 1887; Dem
yer, Enid & Gulf; Arkansas Valley,
Oklahoma City. Kingfisher 4 Western |;
Enid, Beaver, Guymon & Western. in
addition to the Texas, Oklahoma 4
Central & New Orleans, both recently
chartered.
From present indications it would
seem that the Colorado, Oklahoma
Central & New Orleans, the McCaull
line, although the last launched, would
be the first on the ground 1t has
the active sympathy and support, IL
not the direct backing of the Orient.
with which it will make connections
at either Fairview or Darrow. 1t also
owns the Guthrie, Fairview Il Wes.
tern which has construction work ac-
lively in progress all the way from
Guthrie to Fsirview, and has survey
made from Fairview to Woodward.
President McCaull, Governor Barnes
and Chief Engineer Cewles are active
ly at work in the section from Selling
to Mutual, which is asked to take $50
600 stock in the construction company,
half to be paid in cash and half in
work on the grade.
The proposed line would seem to be
almost surely paying one, and the
people along its route are very hope
full of immediate results.-K. G. Jour-
nal.

STANDS EXPENSE.

Gen. Horace Porter, who found
the remains of John Paul Jones,
and forwarded them to thesUnit-
ed States, will not allow Con-
gress reimburse him for the ex-
pense incurred. He appreciates
the motive vat actuates the
members of Congress who are
favorable to the plan. Gen. Por-
ter says he regarded the work as
a personal undertaking and asks
that any amount which Congress
may consider due him be added
to the proposed appropriation for
the crypt in the chapel at Anna
polls. This is very nice on the
part Of Gen. Porter, who has
shown himself on many occasions
to be a patriotic citizen and a
liberal gentleman. The expense
was heavy, but fortunately the
private resources Of Gen. Porter
were equal to the outlay. AS
only very wealthy men can be
foreign Ambassadors under the
prevailing system, Gen. Porter
had means to crafty his
historical tastes in the name,
that resulted so favorably. Con
gress can make an appropriation
for the crypt in which the re
mains will repose and this viii
: be in a sense a monument to tn
service which Gen. Porter ha
rendered his countrymen. Elk

many of the established factories

they should. The fault in such
cases is all with the land owners
and not with the cows, soil, eli

Last year the Corvallis creamery
paid an average price for the
year of az cents for butter fat and
if the supply had been a dozen
times as large it could not have
met the demand.
There are in the country many
herds of only fairly graded cows
which produce annually over $50
pounds of butter to a COW, while

this data it will readily appear
that a single COW will produce
