Mr.. Chiffon Gets Back Into the Livery
Business Again. Plenty Of New
TurnOuts

After beng out of the livery
business for two years Uncle"
Matt Chiffon has again taken charge
of the o. K. Barn on Kansas and
and street. This is one of the oldest
barns in Chickasha and there IS
hardly resident of the city or a
farmer within twenty miles who
does not know the o. K. Barn.
Uncle" Matt is too well known
as a horseman and liveryman to
need any recommendation, and it
is certain that the o. K. barn will
be one Of the best in the city in
point Of service and equipment.
"Uncle" Matt has purchased
seven new turnouts, all rubber tires
and cut-unders. the best that could
be had. His stock is all in first class
condition and if you order a rig
from the o. K. Barn you will get
something that you are not asham-
ed of. The change goes into ef-
feet Aug. 1st.

SHAwNEE'S WATER TROUBLES

Shawnee, Okla, July 73.-While
Oklahoma City is preparing to re-
build and enlarge her water system
Shawnee has awakened to the fact
that her system is not large enough
and also that it is a losing invest
ment, as it requires more than a
fve-mill levy to keep up expenses,
in addition to water rentals. The
council will wrestle with the prob
lem Of making the management
such that the big system will pay
expenses. A new sanitary sewer
system, extending all over the city,
Wilt IS believed solves the problem
in part, at least.

EVDEXsE OF A COMBINE
MuskOgee Lumber Dealers Said to Be
in a Pool to Control
Prices

Muskogee is getting il the
lime light with judicial investiga-
tion Of an alleged illegal combine.
1t is claimed by a number of build
ers and contractors that seven lum.
Der companies in Muskogee have
entered into a pool that one man
makes the prices for all OF the
Others, and that on account of this
pool the price of lumber has been
advanced 50 IS per cent. more
than is justihable. Judge Law
renee, Of the western district, has
taken Judicial cognizance of the al
legged trust and has ordered evil
dence taken before the master in
chancery.
The prosecution grows out OF a
suit brought by one Of the COM
panies in the pool against the
Muskogee Hotel company on an
unpaid account. The hotel COM
pany agreed to pay a fair and
current price for the lumber but,
insists that while they we're carry
ing an open account with the lum-
Der company the pool became affec'
tive and the price of lumber wa:
raised at least one-third, and they
refused to pay the account until il
was discounted that much.
The evidence already taken in
the case indicates that there is a
daily Interchange of checks be
tween the seven companies anc
that this was not the case until the
pool was formed.

Constitution
or THE
New State -

Communications under this head
are solicited. Name must accom-
pany every article but will be with
held from publication if desired.
Chickasha, July "a, 1906.
The constitution should first of
all make it possible to effectually
curb commercialism. No corpora
ton or form of combination should
be permitted 10 feel that il can
avoid the LAWS of the state. Under
the United States the state must
be supreme.
Closely allied are the educational
interests of the state. Since our
government is based on intelligence
then the training of the youths
physically, mentally and morally is
the most important duty of the
state and should not be delegated.
If tie new state is to be better than
other states, then manhood must
rise above dollars.
We must have a proper system
Of taxation. Actual net cash valua-
tion should be the basis. A three
hundred dollar Exemption should be
fixed. The maintenance of public
roads should be vastly improved
All road tax should be collected in
cash. All work on roads should be
let by contract on a cash basis. The
King system should be adopted for
dirt roads.
Prohibition should be extended
to the entire state and should be
made to prohibit. A good citizen
ship is the foundation of good
government, therefore the growing
manhood Of the people should be
guarded.
I'll property owners should stand
equal before the law. Minors and
the mentally weak should be pro-
tected. All other persons should
be permitted TO sell, buy, pledge
and mortgage as they please. | be-
lieve in personal rights of matured,
intellectual citizens and that 1t Is
the duty of the state to make all
intellectual.
The white and the colored races
should be kept separate and dis
tinct. l believe in an eight hour
labor law with heavy penalty for
keeping men on duty as many Of
our large corporations do. As the
companies select all employees, II
should be strictly responsible for
injuries to the person of all employees
We should have a railroad COM
mission who's duties should be ex-
tended to others corporations. This
commission should have ample
power, should be conservative and
should remember that corporations
have rights.

DEARTH OF FREIGHT CARS
President Considering What Is
Widespread Evil.
CattIemen Especially Suffering for
Want of Cars TO ship Their stock
to High-priced Markets.

The President has under consideration
a special message to Congress in regard
to the supply Of freight cars for inter-
state commerce. The subject has been
pressed upon him from every part Of the
country in appeals from leading shippers
IN numerous lines Of traffic. The most
crying need seems to be that Of the cat
tlemen. who have suffered OF late because
Of the agitation over packing house meth
DDS. and now with a rising market and
good prices. are not able TO get cars 10
ship their cattle to stock CenteTs. Many
thousands Of cattle are being driven on
the hoof over distances hitherto traversed
by rail shipments. the Cattlemen being
anxious 10 get to market and realize top
figures 10 make " losses.
In numerous lines OF traffic the roads
are said 10 be declining shipments for
want Of cars, and in the majority Of
cases, for the reason that in the scarcity
Of cars they are likely 10 lose the use OF
their rolling stock if they send il out in
interstate traffic The rates for cattle
and similar freight are much less profit
able than on large class OF goods
shipped in great bulk at this season of
the year to prepare for winter necessi-
ties. II is also a time when there are
heavy shipments of grain, fertilizers. lime
and other heavy staples in farming sec
tions. On this account the roads are re-
fusing shipments over long distances, for
cattle and low-rate commodities.
The subject has been called to the at
tentiOn of the President from such a
wide range Of territory that he is con-
vinced that there is need Of prompt and
thorough action. The idea is 10 provide
interstate control of the supply and use
of cars, and establish a system of penal
ties for failure on part Of carriers to
/ furnish cars when needed. 1t may also
be decided 10 impose fines on roads for
OBTAINING cars of another road eyond a
reasonable time.
Chairman Hepburn. Of the House COM
meTCe Committee. said yesterday that a
bill viii probably be introduced at an ear
" date giving the Interstate Commerce
| Commission control over joint water and
land rates. He expects this TO be passed
this session.
The water rate on English wOrsteds is
60 cents from Liverpool to New York. The
I land rate is s. from New York TO San
Francisco. The English manufacturers
are given a joint rate of $191 from Liver
pool to San Francisco. With this great
advantage. it is possible for the English
I makers TO compete with the American
manufacturers, and the industry in this
country Is threatened with destruction.
