BUSTER BROWN and TIGE
HELD A FULL HAND LAST NIGHT
The Grand Was Packed to Witness
the Comic Production.

Buster Brown at the Grand last
night was a distinct success and great
" pleased an audience that packed the
theatre.
There is, of course, nothing to the
play-that is nothing lasting nor IN
structive. 1t creates laugh, however,
one continuous laugh from start to
finish. and this seems to be all theatre
gors care for nowadays.
Everyone is familiar with the fun
ny "Buster Brown pictures as they
have been figuring in certain Sunday
papers for lon! time. and recognized
the terrible infant" and his dog,
Tiee, as soon as they made their ap-
pearance last night.
Without any disparaeement to Bus
ter. il must be said that ''Tige' was
the leading figure in the east. Every
motion, attitude and expression of the
canine was true to me original ana
mirth provoking at every turn of the
play. Buster" himself. Is prodi'
ey. and in his dress, especially, was
true to the familiar prototype.
The chorus was excellen, excepting
in song-that was not much. The
drill of the girls in Scotch costume
was particularly fine, and was heartily
applauded as it deserved. The com
pany contains some fine dancers, and
all in all. the entire "skit '~yas one
of the best things Manager Buel has
treated his patrons to this season.
1t is a pity. however, that suef
plays are the only kind able to draw
Twentieth Century audience.

TULSA LOST
FIRST GAME
BY SCORE OF 9 TO s MUSKOGEE
WON OUT.
A POORLY PLAYED GAME
The Fact that 1t Was Opening Game
Seemed to Rattle the Boys-A
Good Crowd Out.

A good crowd witnessed the open
inc game of the base ball season at
Muskoeee yesterday. TIE fans were
ont in force and were disappointed in
the work done by both teams. The
playing throughout was poor, and in
the ease of the Oilers was marked par
ticularly in the first baseman depart
ment. Revise this and Tulsa will have
a team she will be proud Of before
the season is over.
The trouble yesterday was occasion
ed by Over-eXcltement. 1t was the
first game and both teams were strung
up too highly to play well. A much
better game is expected today. wher
il is confidently believed the result
will be reversed.
In the game yesterday the Oilers
went to bat first. but failed to get &
run until Hanlon's single in the fifth
inning brought in one. In the siXtl
inning four more were made, tyins
the score.
The Redskins started to score IL
the first inning and followed it up il
the fourth with four more. Three
more in the sixth and one in tn,
eighth completed the discomfortur'
of the Oilers. and gave the victory t.
the home Of the Mary d., by scor'
Of 9 to >.
The game today was called at 2:3'
O'Clock.

a persistent rumor in circulation here
that the Santa Fe will soon purchase
the property Of the NJ, o. 4 &. rail

Dear Sir: received your letter
on the 18th, written for tile
Co. | note by the Democrat that there
must be some change in the firm. Is
this true? BY the way. is this Demo
crat the best paper you have in Tulsa?
II seems to think Of nothing but
knocking on everything doing.
note that owing to the restrictions
and statehood questions not beng set
tied. that business is somewhat dull.
Well. | see that the restriction busl-
ness is settled. and don I sound very
good for the territory, and that state
hood bill will soon be settled. believe
statehood will come this term. Now,
in regard 10 selling 30 feet, we would
not sell 30 feet for less than $1,000
and that on condition that parties
buying would erect a house on the
same at once. If you wish to offer
30 feet on these terms you may do so.
but the offer only stands good for 81
days. or until June lst.
Please let me hear from you.
Yours truly.

LIGHTNING fires
rigs and TANKS
GALBRAITH & CHESLEY WELL
ON GLENN FARM STRUCK.
The GAS HUNG Low
Reported That Fire Is Still Burning
and that Many Thousands of Dol
lars Worth Destroyed.

The Galbraith 4 Chesley well on
the Glenn farm was struck by light
ming during the electric storm last
night. and was set ON fre-the fire
destroying three derricks, as many
rigs, several tanks of oil, and is still
burning.
This is the news about the affair
50 far as can be learned before going
to press. II may not be 50 bad and
il NAV be worse, but until some one
comes in from the scene no one will
know accurately.
The lightning stluck-there is no
doubt If this. 1t was suitable night
for a fire. There was no wind and a
heavy, damp atmosphere-just the
kind to keep the gas low down among
the tanks and in just the place to
communicate with everything near 1t.
The fire, if it is not out by now,
must have done thousands of dollars
worth Of damage, as beside the value
of the rigs, the tanks and the oil in
them would run up to a large amount.
The Glenn farm is one Of the rich
est portions of this great oil field,
and ON it some Of the best wells in
the field have been brought in.

STATEHOOD BY JUNE Is,

Judge c. b. Stewart has just re-
turned from WASHINGTON and stated
to a Capital scribe that there prevail
ed in Washington an unanimous OPP
inion that by June ID the territories
would be given statehood.
Statehood with the restrictions at
tached to throttle progress will not
help much, but possibly it will be a
GOOD idea to take anything we can get
even in broken doses.-South McAles-

CANADA HAS A HOG FAMINE
American Animals smut Out and Not
Enough of the Naeye
Prodrsk

OTTAWA. Jan. 2.--Ontario pork packers
are manifesting much disappointment and
cha grin over the action of the Dominion
government in resembling the regulation
which permitted American hogs to come
into this country, in bond. but for export AT
once as finished product
It is freely stated by the packers. almost
without exception, that they have been un-
able to get enough Canadian hogs to keep
their factories running. some Of them not
even at half time Therefore during the
last few months of last year they took ad-
vantage of the regulation allowing them 70
import hogs from the United States. in
bond to be sent ont Of the country imme-
diately as the finished product. II is con-
tended that there Is no more danger Of
bringing disease into Canada through these
imporrations than through the shipment OF
live hogs daily from Windsor to Buffalo or
from Port Huron to ST Albsns. The diff
ference, however. to Canadians in the
bringing OF American hogs into Canada and
making them into the finished article for
immediate expectation abroad. instead Of
these hogs being made into the product at
Buffalo or Chicago is. the packers argue.
that the work is performed by and the
wages paid 10 Canadians instead of Amer
leans. The embargo, however, against the
American hog is likely TO be enforced for
an indefinite period.
