COUNTY WITHOUT A TOWN.
Oklahoma Convention Locates a Site
For BUILDING a Burq

Immediately upon the adjournment
Of the constitutional convention and
favorable decision by the Oklahoma
courts that the convention had power
to divide counties in Oklahoma a town
will be built at Buffalo, seat of the
new cohnty of Harper, formerly por
ton of northwest Woodward county,
says the Kansas City Star. The town
site is now bare prairie owned by w.
II. Miller, farmer.
Though forty by twenty eight miles
in size, Harper county is without a
single organized town government.
Brule, a county postoffice, with two
or three trading stores, was the most
but it was not town. The nearest
railroad station to Buffalo Is Ashland,
Kan thirty miles away.
In building a town at Buffalo the
owner of the land will make a num-
Der of experiments that are not I'M
tinged with a certain kind of socialism.
George Ford of Guthrie, who will man
age the enterprise, Is a man of socialis-
tic views.
REALIZES that the citizens of the county
will be hard pressed for money in the
establishment of the county govern
ment and that some kind of assistance
will be necessary to give the county a
good start. Miller has given five lots
in each block and an entire block to
the county. On this single block will
be built county buildings. The lots
may be sold by the county or retained
perpetually for rental purposes, the
income to be used for running the
county government"
But it is in another way that the
town of Buffalo will be experimental
The owner of the land has agreed to
use certain portion of the income
from the sale of his lots in building
not afford to build and in which out
side capital would find no early profit.
| \ system of waterWOrkS will be eS-
tabliShed by the erection Of windmillS
and reservoirs. from which water will
be conducted in pipes to all portions of
| the town. An acetylene gas plant will
| afford light. Until the county can levy
| taxes and build a courthouse county
| officers will be given quarters free of
| cost in a building owned by the town
| site company Other improvements Of
| this kind will be n cotton gin, Il cream
cry plant. canning factory and a mo-

WATERED STOCK.

value has been added TO either by the
transaction. Transportation is of the
third kind. A bushel of wheat is car
ried from the Dakota prairieS TO New
York or China. 1t is 60 pounds of life

destination as when it started. The
labor expended in the transportation
must be supported OUT of that bushe!,

and track. are gone absolutely, and the
wheat has gained nothing. While the
workman is always worthy of his hire,
the profits of an industry should be II
proportion to its Importance to society.
Again. values are real or fictitious.
Real values are in the thing itself l.:
relations TO human welfare. Artificial
values are determined by the iuctud-
tons of trade, the dictates of fashion
or caprice. and largely by the manipn-
lations of spectators. Only the other
day hundreds of millions of dollars of
water were squeezed out of railroad
securities. but no particular damage
was done The values were entire V
belonged-upOn the spectators. The
railroad properties are worth just $
much. and perform the same functions.
We conclude therefore. that rail
roads should be run in the interests IF
the people rather than for the advaa-
tage of transportation must be pail
the profits of transportation should De
kept below the profits of production
that capital invested in transportation

ROOSEvELT'S $4,000 PHOTO.
It Shows Him Taking a Fence on a
Hunter and Has Been Copied Widely.

Hunter and Has Been Copied Widely.
The most widely published and best
known photograph in existence is said
to be that of President Roosevelt tax
ing fence on his favOrite hunter, says
the New York Sun This has been
printed in almost every paper and mag
aZine in the world which uses half
tones. and the sales from 1t have al
ready amounted to more than $4,000.
making it the most profitable photo
graph ever taken.
Nearly 5000 copies have been signed
by the president to be used as special
gifts, and the demand for it wherever
it has been placed on sale has been
steady during the three and a half
years since it was made
It was made with Il shutter that
opened and closed in one fifteen-hun-
dredth part of a second. The president
accompanied by an orderly. left the
cabinet meeting one morning and join
ed the photographer at Chevy Chase in
the suburbs of Washington. 1t was
necessary for the president to force his
horse over the fence Il dozen times be-
fore successful picture was taken.
President Roosevelt is probably the
most photographed man in the world,
with the possible exception of Emperor
William. and photographers assert I'M
reservedly that he Is most difficult to
pose. He is nervous and is often
snapped in what might seem a hit or
miss style. but every picture ever taken
of him is thoroughly characteristic.

calls attention to the fact that the

months before there was any serious
inundation of southern California from

TO PREVENT ..,.....
A NERVOUS
BREAKDOWN
Take Or. Williams Pink Pills When
the First Warning Symptoms Are
Noticed and Save Yourself
Much Suffering. :

Are you troubled with pallor, loss Of
spirits, waves of heat passing over the
body. shortnesS of breath after slight
exertion. a peculiar skipping Of the
heart beat, poor digestion, cold extremi-
ties or feeling of weight and fullness?
Do not make the mistake Of thinking
that these arc diseases in themselves
and be satisfied with relief for the time
being.
This is the way the nerves give warn
ing that they are breaking down. It
simply means that for some reason or
other the blood has become impure and
thin and cannot carry enough nourish-
ment to the nerves to keep them
healthy and able to do their work.
Rest. alone, will sometimes give the
needed relief. The tonic treatment by
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills. however pre-
vents the final breakdown of the nerves
and the more serious diseases (which
follow, because the pills act directly
upon the impure blood, making it rich,
red and pure.

POLICE
Red Blood Corpuscles Made BY Good
Food Are the Police of the Body. \

When a man keeps good red blood in
his veins he has sort of police squad
and is practically immune from
disease.
Pure blood made from the right food
will resist the attacks Of disease germs
and drive them out or kill them. The
first thing that should be looked to,
therefore is the blood, and prompt ac-
ton to build up the red corpuscles by
food. A lawyer in q Western town
tells how he drove Bright's disease out
of his system by supplying good rcd
blood by food:
For several years | had been aff1ict-
ed with kidney trouble" he says,
(which sometimes incapacitated me
for business My condition became
such AS to cause great fears that
Brights Disease was about to fasten
itself upon me.
