area of the fire Is greatly increased
while the depth Is reduced. Air passes
up from the CRATE into the box and
thence through the apertures to the fire
The plate at the bottom of the air box
serves as n damper which can be NOV
ed In or out to control the amount of
air fed to the fire.
Owing to the shallowness of the fire
and the general distribution of air, a
perfect combustion of the fuel is as
sured. In proof of the value of the air

lNTERUS1AN IS THE THING
Says an Iowa Visitor. Great Benefit to a
Town

Mr.. F. S.Graham of Newton
Ia, is in the city visiting his step
bIother, DR.. d. NJ. Johnson. He is
viewing the country and looking
for good investments.
Speaking Of, theInterurban this
morning, Mr.. Graham said' that
his town had just recently been
connected by electric railway with
the neighboring cities of Des Moines
and Newton and the people were
highly pleased. The interurban
lines carry passengers and freight
for about one half the rates 'charg.
ed by steam railway and they make
good time, running cars at FREE
quent intervals.
"The interurhan" said Mr.,
Graham ''is a great thing for the
town and coun try. Many such lines
have been built iu Iowa within the
last few years and they are spread
ing rapidly. III some sections they
are built where steam railrays have
moi be profitably operated.
Mr.. Graham said that the citi-
zens Of Chickaiha should get the

Your friend,
Scott Jones.

Now there's the proposition
good and plain. What are yeu
going to do about it?
The proposition made by the In
terurban people contemplated that
the entire $50, 1000 shonld be sub
scribed at once or, if not, SIS, 900
cash should be deposited as guar
antee that the $50, 900 would be
raised within 90 days. Neither Of
these things have been done. The
citizens subscribed about $24, ooc
in twelve minutes and Mr.. Jones
was so confident that the remand
er would be raised in a few days
that he waived the letter of agree
ment and allowed more time, but
now his superiors demand that he
deliver the goods. The subscrip-
tion has reached $40, 900 leaving
only Sro, 900 more to to subscribe.
Will the members of the commit
tee get out and finish the subscrip-
tion1 Will you help Will you make
your own subscription what it
should be? Shall we hold another
mass meeting? These questions are
up to the citizensof Chickasha.

PROSPECTS
LOOK GOOD
SENATE WILL LIKELY PASS IT
WITHIN TEN DAYS WITH FOR
AKER AMENDMENT
IS NO DANGER OF A TIE UP
The House IS Sure to Accept the
Senate Amendment

Washington, D. G. Feb. TO-
The statehood bill asreported TO
the senate is similar in most res
poets to the bill passed by the
house of representatives. The only
changes are those in phraseology or
to correct omissions or thoughtless-
ness. 1t is the hope Of those in
charge that the bill can be despos-
ed Of in week or ten days. This
hope may not be realized, as it is
appreciated that there is disposit-
ion on the part Of senators to use the
statehood bill as a buffer to keep
off more Objectionable legislation.
1t can be asserted with a reason
able degree Of confidence that the
bill, when passed by the senate, will
be amended by adding the amend
ment offered by Senator Foraker.
It can be asserted that there are
surely sixteen Republican senators
who will vote for this amendment.
Perhaps there will be eighteen.
The uanies of sixteen can be given
tonight as result Of a poll made
by one Of the senators interested
in seeing that the bill is amended
as indicated. The Republican sen.
ators in question are: Foraker,
Perkins, Flint, Barter, Burrows,
Alger, McComas. Hepburn, Platt
Of New Yorn, Fulton, Elkins, Gal.
linger, Scott, Clerke of Wyoming,
Warren and Burkett. 1t is reason
ably certain that Senators Bikley,
Millard, Hansborough, Penrose.
and La Toilette will join with those
who want the Foraker amendment.
Senator Warner has told no one
how he will vote on the bill, but il
is known that he has not been in
sympathy 10 join the two terri
tories together.
Senator Foraker. who has been
looked upon as the acknowledged
leader in the coterie Of senators
who have opposed the bill in the
form in which il came from the
house, has stated that he will not
oppose vote being taken as soon
as the senate managers arr ready
to submit the measure to the test of
a roll call.
Senator Beveridge has been in
charge of the statehood measures
which have been brought in at
previous sessions OF congress. Now
he gives way to Senator Dick,
new member Of the committee and
a new member Of the United States
senate. This, of itself, is taken TO
mean that Beveridge realizes full
we'll that he cannot get the state
hood bill Though in the form in
which he brought It out Of the
committee, and he wants to shift
the responsibility for handling it to
other shoulders. 1t is recalled that
last session when the bill got into
its final stages Beveridge accepted
a provision similar in most particu-
lars to the Foraker amendment.
Later it was rejected ana the bill
failed. With the Foraker amend
ment adopted and incorporated in
the bill it is the general belief that
there will be a most interesting
time when the two territories vote
on the acceptance Of statehood on !

the terms offered.
There is no prospect Of the house
of representatives dead-locking the
bill when it comes from the senate
amended with the Foraker PROPOSE
ton. It is we'll understood that
the house leaders are content with
the victory they achieved over the
insurgents in the fight made when
the bill came from the house com
mittee. Now that the senate is
about to decide on the Foraker
proposition, the house will accept
the proposal. Representative Taw-
ney, chairman of the house commit
tee on appropriations, who refused
absolutely to have any part in the
insurgent movement, will make the
motion to concur in the senate
amendment. This will be the sig
nal for more than hundred Re
publican members to come tc his
aid If any fight should be made on
the proposal. It will also be for
NAL notice to the house managers
that it will be useless to resist the
proposition, and they will, in all
probability, gracefully, submit.

they had been stolen and taken clear
out of the country. However, this
week the missing animals were found
on Pinon Mesa by the foreman of

charge. Yesterday DIR. A. P. Drew

ed the streams from which water was
taken from the north side and then
compared them with the streams
