RAILROADS COME HIGH BUT WE MUST
HAVE THEM

THE BIGGEST proposition before Chickasha now
is the raising Of the bonus for the Canadian Valley
Western Railway It looks like a pretty large
amount but when all things are considered Chick
asha is getting off pretty easy We are asked to put
up $40 900 and Of this amount $4,000 has already
been given and those who contributed ON the $4,000
will be credited with the amount given on this the
final subscription There is no doubt that the action
of our citizens in guaranteeing the original $4,000
has saved Chckasha money perhaps $4,000, as
will be seen from the bonus that is being asked of
other towns
Purcell, a town about half the size Of Chickasha
will have to put up 900 and furnish ten miles of
rightof-way either side of town if she gets the
Canadian Valley & Western Ada, that turned
down the original proposition of the promoters Of the
road Is required pay $4,000 and furnish right-o-
way through the city. Byars mere village, is to
pay $4,000.
When consider what other cities have paid
for other roads it win appear that we are very forun-
ate Indeed in getting off 50 lightly
Vnta has just raised $4,000 for new road.
South McAleser agreed to give $75 600 for single
road and is hot because the promoters have failed to
make good and they won't have to pay the money
Wagner gave $40 900 for road Tishomingo, $50,
900 for the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf Ardmore
had to pay $4,000 apiece for two roads Muskogee
has put up enormous for the various roads she
has secured in the past few years, and the same is
true Of Enid, Oklahoma City, Shawnee and otter
towns Of the territory. In one instance Muskogee
gave $40, 600.
These figures show conclusively that the com
pany has made very reasonable demand upon
Chickasha. A committee of ten is now at work and
they ought to meet with ready response from eevry
property owner. Little difficulty ought to be ex-
perienced in raising the remaining $4,000
This is the day of railroad building in this
country. Nearly all the railroads that will ever be
built will be built within the next few years If we
fail to get the roads now other towns will get them
and we shall never have them With the keenest
competition among the towns of the territory in
getting railroads. it behooves Chickasha to get

HUNTERS REFUSE TO KILL

Sportsmen VIII Desert Richardson's
Bay Because They Don't Enjoy
Shooting OIL Soaked Fowl,

SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 15.-The hunt
ers who for years past have made
Richardson's Bay their retreat during
the duck season have practically aban-
doned that place and. will search for
new quarters. The cause of their sud-
den departure is attributed to the oily
condition of the. water in the upper
bay, which has saturated the ducks.
preventing them from flying. The
birds, mostly canvasbacks, have found
a retreat on the marshes. but are prac-
tically helpless. The late southwest
winds have caused the oil which is dis.
charged in the bay near Point Rich
mond to float into Richardson's Bay
instead of finding an outlet to the
ocean.
The shores of the bay were lined
with men and boys to-day and they
had no difficulty in bagging the help
less birds. Many Sausalito hunters.
who shoot for sport, have decided to
look for new quarters at once. They
say the ducks have not chance and
as they are real sportsmen they pre-
fer to look for pond where the ducks
will get an even break. The birds not
covered with oil have gone in search
of new homes and they will probably
not return to Richardson's Bay for
many moons. The oil-covered birds,
helpless to search for food, will perish
in a few days.

BOYS IN Blue
REVEL IN Mud
Fort Miley Beats Cardinal
B on Checker Board That
Is the Limit for Slush

Twenty-Five game young men, repre-
senting the Cardinal B eleven of the
League of the Cross Cadets and the
Fort Miley team from the Preside,
skirmished around in the mud at the
Presidio grounds yesterday afternoon
in fearless style. The soldiers proved
the better "mudders'' and got away
with the game by score of 10 to 0.
The field was absolutely the limit.
The players practiced eating chunks Of
slush before they got into the game and
then they swallowed more. Fast work
and scientific play was out of the ques-
tion. Several times a chunk of adobe
was mistaken for the ball and the ref
cree had a hard time Strengthening out
the tangles that resulted from these
blunders.
The first half went along without
incident. Some of the players called
for bathing suits, while others insisted
on boats. AS neither were to be had,
the kickers suffered noticeably. Fun
bles of all kinds and descriptions were
made and repeated. Fort Miley was
the stronger in bucking the line, but
the cadets held their own.
Cardinal BIS men were all in when
the second half had gone but short
distance. The soldiers forced the ball
to BIS twenty yard line and then lost it
on a tumble. The Cadets were forced
to kick, but when the ball was snapped
to Coffey he fumbled and allowed the
pig skin to pass him ana go through
70 the goal. One of his team mates
rushed it to the five yard line where it
was given to Fort Miley. A touchdown
for the soldiers resulted a moment
later.
From that time on the boys in blue
got into the game. They managed to
buck the line hard to score another
touchdown a short time before the
game came to an end. Pento, the full
back, tried to kick goal twice, but
failed because his feet were too heavy
to lift The teams lined UP as follows

The Artificial Diamond.

The reward of the inventor who can
produce artificial diamonds is so
tempting that the Moisson experiments
with the electric furnace, which were
inaugurated some eight or ten years
present day. They are now being car
ried on in the laboratory of the Sor-
bonne, in Paris, with an ever-increas-
ing success. The first diamonds made
by the electric furnace were of mi
croscopic size and few in number. In
fact, they were so minute and uncom-
mon that it took a great deal of re-
peated experimenting to secure
enough specimens to demonstrate be-
yond a doubt that the brilliant crys-
tails were actual diamonds. AS the
work continued various notifications
were worked out, as the experience of
the investigators became greater, un-
til now success seems imminent. The
crystals are positively known to par
take of all the characteristics of the
diamond in crystalline structure, hard
ness and chemical composition, as
demonstrated by combustion expert
ments. The largest crystal yet OBJ
tafned is only one-haf a millimeter
in length, and while this is only a
spark, 1t indicates that the process is
capable of yielding diamonds of good
quality, and that some day in the not
distant future the laboratory pro-
cesses of Mother Nature. as exempli-
fed in the Rand, may be duplicated In
mans laboratory and in a commercial
way.-New York Times.

Wonders of Telegraphone.

DR.. z. B. Babbitt Of New York, lee
tured before the Franklin Institute last
night upon the telegrapnone, an ap-
paratus invented by Valdemar Paul
son of Copenhagen. by which the
human voice is recorded and stored on
wire or metal disc without indenta-
tion or mark of any kind, and may sub
seQuently be reproduced audibly
through the telephone. The machine,
as explained by DR.. Babbitt, has the
ability to perform five different func-
tions, as follows: Receives dictation,
reproduces to the dictator, reproduces
to one at distant point, the machine
being under control at that point, and
records conversations between two
persons over the telephone lines with
out in any way interfering with the
operation of those lines.
1t also records automatically, in the
absence of the subscriber from the
office, messages coming over the line
during such absence, the machine
being under absolute automatic con-
troll, the ringing of the bell starting
the machine, which sends a signal over
the line to the person talking. notifying
him that 1t is running.-Philadelp

Business in Butte.

Not one Of the $4,000 miners of Butte
earns less than $3.50 day, and they all
spend their money like prodigal sons.
In the old open gambling days, not long
gone by, dril1-drivers wearing flannel
shirts have bet stacks Of silver and
gold slugs with the recklessness Of
royal rakes at Monte Carlo.
The people are all plungers. Two
men came UP to a cigar case. Lets
shake the box" said one.
AS they lit their cigars the other
asked:
How much do you want for that
mine, anyway"
''Thirty-five thousand" was the an
swer.
"Give you 25," said the other.
Wont take 25,'' replied his friend,
"but I'll just shake dice whether you
give me $4,000 or So"
''All right. First flop or horses?"
First f1op," came back the answer.
They each rolled the dice out only
once. The man who lost wrote his

RAINY WEATHER PREVENTS
INTERNATIONAL POLO GAME
Practice Contest Is Substituted and
Reds Win by a Score
of G tn 9

SAN MATEO, Jan. 15.-Owing to
bad weather the international polo
game was postponed to-day and a
match of mixed sides played instead.
The Reds were winners by score of
8. to 2. Those wearing the crimson
colors were Sir George Prescott, Cyril
X. Tobin, r. M. Tobin and Captain de
Crespigny, the first and last named be-
ing of the Hurlingham team. The
whites were Francis J. Carolan, r. G.
Q. Menzies, John Lawson and Walter
?. Hobart. The umpires were .J. o.
Iobin Jr. and Lawrence McCreery.
The match was played on the field of
{. W. Clark and the rain made the
ground too soft for any certainty of
skill. The two Englishmen playing
with the Reds did exceptionally good
work and gave better promise of an
even match in the international games
than their three practice games here
have indicated. Dates Of future games
will depend on the weather.
