CONDITION OF COTTON CROP
Is PrOmising-Large Increase Acreage
in this Vicinity.

The cotton crop in this vicinity
is in very promising condition.
There is an excellent stand and
the crop IS making growth that is
very satisfactory. If conditions
continue favorable there will be a
great crop this season, Within the
last few days it has been reported
that worms are doing slight dam
age in a few neighborhoods.
Good authorities say that on the
most conservative estimate the in
crease in acreage in this immediate
vicinity is at least fifty per cent,
while some even 60 so far as to say
that the acreage is double that of
last year.

and they were received with open
hands wherever they went. Mr.
Jones attributes no small part Of
success of his mission to Capt.
Ryan
The financing of the street rail
way deal was no small matter and
the successful manner in which il
was carried out speaks well for
tact, business abilities and persis-
tence of the gentlemen who achiev-
ed it. The Boston capitalists,
says Mr.. Jones, are strongly i'm
pressed with Chickasha as a field

THE SALE OF BONDS SUCCESS
FULLY COMPLETED
CARS WILL SOON Be RUNNING
Contracts will be Let in Fifteen Days
And Work Begin in Thirty

Scott Jones and w. T. Croslen
have returned from Boston where
they have been for the past three
weeks completing the negotiations
for the sale Of the City Railway
Companys bonds.
When seen by an EXPRESS re-
porter this morning Mr.. Jones con-
frmed the report that was received
a few days ago to the effect that the
deal bad been consumated with en-
tire success. He brought back with
him the bonds for the signature of
the president of the company, NJ B.
Louthan, and the latter signed them
this morning. There are $50 bonds
of $1,000 each, being 20 year, six
percent bonds, and they were solo
at oI the International Trust Co. Of
Boston being the trustee. The deed
of trust was recorded here a few
days ago and just as soon as the
bonds reach Boston, the money is
subject to check by the company
here.
The officers Of the company state
that all contracts for power plant
and construction of the line will be
let within fifteen days and with.
in 80 days work will be unde. way.
It is expected to have cars running
and the light plant in operation
within 90 days. The power plant is
to be located at Third and Iowa
Location of the lines has practically
been decided upon but some change:
may yet be made and the company
is not quite ready to make an an.
nouncement on this point.
Deacon" Jones gives a glowing
account Of his stay among the
Tbean eaters. Said he, "Bostor
is the greatest town of them all.
New York and Chicago don't com
pare with the Hub And the peo-
pie are the most hospitable aad the
biggest hearted to be found any.

we landed the glad hand was ex.
tended and it was the same thing
every day. Coming from the wild
and woolly West. we didn't expect
to meet such a reception and it was
a most pleasant surprise to us"
Among those for whom the
Deacon" has words Of warmesi
praise IS Captain John Ryan, chiei
Of the Boston fire department. The
Chickasha men made the acquain.

AMID WILD SCENES OF ENTHUSIASM THE HOUSE
ADOPTED THE CONFERENCE REPORT BY
A UNANIMOUS VOTE
BILL is READY FOR PRESIDENTS SIGNATURE
Brightest Of all Stars, Oklahoma will now
Appear in the Firmament Of
the Nation.

Washington, Jure r4.-State-
hood came to Oklahoma ard Indian
Territory shortly after S O'Clock
this afternoon, when the house
with prolonged applause and with
out a single dissenting voioe, adopt
ed the conference report.
The president could not veto the
bill if he wanted to and not thing
on earth can now stand in the way
Of the people Of Oklahoma framing
their constitution and organizing a
state government in accordance
with the provisions Of the bill.
Even the motion to reconsider
the action was made and laid on
the table.
Tomorrow Bird Mcclure ex
poets to carry the bill TO the White
House for the formality Of the
presidents signature.
The scenes surrounding the last
legislative act for statehood were
thrilling and sensational and the
democrats put Speaker Cannon in
q hole.
An attempt to call up the con-
ference report early in the day fall
ed because the clerk Of the house
had not yet prepared the report.
So il was left to 90 over until
sp. m.
Five minutes after the appointed
time, Chairman Ed Hamilton call
ed up the report and moved its
adoption.
The ayes had been taken with a
rush when delegates Mark Smith
asked 10 be heard.
Hamilton, however, yielded FIVE
minutes Of his time to Representa-
tive Moone, the Democratic con-
feree.
Moone said that in his proposed
conference report the Republicans
had come around to the principle
for which the Democrats had been
fighting for the past six years.
Mark Smith was granted FIVE
minutes and in that time he fixed
a bomb shell under Speaker Cam
non.
After alluding to the monstrous
proposition Of the Republicans in
regard to Arizona, he charged them
with traficking and using unfair
influence to carry out their pro-
gram.
I'm Arizorc" he said. There
is a law which make it mis-
demeanor to trade votes, on pro-
positions, in the legislature and a
governor, who would use his high
power to influence legislation,
would 60 to the penitentiary."
Smiths speech woke The dead.
Mr.. Cannon called Mr.. Dalzell
to the throne and, shaking frou
head to foot, he vehemently denied
amid Republican applause, that he
had tried to influence the senate OF
make trade with a senator.
MI. Smith had reference to the
shameful promises and threats
which Cannon had made the house
insurgents.
Mr.. Cannon thus evaded the
issue. With this episode over Mr..
Hamilton moved the previous
