one Too Many wives.

On Saturday last Herman Backer-
man, of Dover, was brought to the
county Jail by Constable Newkirk, OF
Dover, who arrested Backerman on a
warrant sworn out by wife No. l. At
the May term of court Backerman-was
fined $50 and costs for assault and
battery. A Short time after his trial
was over he took to himself wife,
which unfortunately seems to be his
second offence in his matrimonial ex-
periences. Mr.. Backerman is baker

On resolution the board approved
of changes in the plans for the Bergen

| A resolution was adopted transfer
ring $500 from incidentals to sinking
fund, making that account 10000,
and directing the county collector to
redeem that amount of bonds. Thus
reducing the bonded Indebtedness Of
the county $4,000 in the past two

matter of two bridges needed in Pc

on the necessity of keeping down ex-

finish the year all right, but great care
must be used.

HOLDING THEIR WHEAT.
Oklahoma Farmers Are Waiting for
Hiuher Prices.

Guthrie, Okla.--Whle the total
yield OF wheat in Oklahoma this year
will be little more than half of the
year previous. owing to the ravages
OF green bugs early In the season,
farmers are not discouraged, as they
expect to make up for the loss large
ly by the increased price. The ten.
dency OF wheat TO advance I'm price
has encouraged many Oklahoma farm
ers to hold their crop for more mon.
ey.
Last year the freight rates made
export business Improbable but low
CT rates put in effect by the railroads
to Galveston and other export points
this year have given this feature of
the business big boost. AS result
there is such demand for good
wheat for export purposes that the
millers are complaining that they can
not get enough good wheat to keep
their mills going.
Although the wheat harvest has
been over for two months and most
OF the crop is threshed, authorities
differ on the total yield of wheat in
Oklahoma. G. V. Topping, secretary
of the Oklahoma Milers and Grain
Dealers Association, estimates IL at
100000 bushels. while J. h. Wood
worth, statistican of the Oklahoma
board of agriculture, basing his es-
innate on reports received from every
township in the territory, estimates
the total yield at l0,50O,000 bushels.
This is a considerable falling off from
the yield last year, which was 49,
100000 bushels.

MORE MONEY FOR COTTON.
indian Territory Has Larger Crop
Than Last Year.

Muskogee, l. T.--More cotton will
lie grown in the Indian Territory this
season than was raised last year, and
the market has opened four cents a
pound higher than II did last year
and three cents higher than the top
price last year, says s. B. Lock. who
buys and concentrates cotton at five
compress points I'm Indian Territory
and who is one OF the Oldest cotton
buyers I'm the Territory.
The upland cotton will not be as
good this year as IL was last, but IL
will be earlier and not any of It will
be ruined by early frost, as was the
case last year. All the upland cotton
will be marketed within sixty days. 1t
is rated at fifty per cent Of crop.
The bottom land will make % per
cent more cotton to the acre this
year than last year. There is SO much
more OF the crop in the bottoms than
on the upland.
The acreage In cotton I'm Indian
Territory this year Is almost six per
cent more than IL was last year Last
year the crop was short 33 1.3 per
cent Of the big cotton years. This
was due to Il late wet season and the
frost killing so much OF It. The big
Gest crop of cotton that has been
raised in Indian Territory for many
years was four years ago, but the diff
ference In price that year and this
will make the years crop more val
liable than that Of 1908.
The season has opened this fall
with seed cotton selling at four cents
pound while the top reached last
year was 3a cents. Four cents In
the seed means between twelve and
thirteen cents in the lint or bale.
There are five concentration points
for cotton iu the northern part of In
dian Territory. They are at Musko-
gee. SapuIpa, Welectka. South Nc
Aelster and Fort Smith. I'm the south
ern part there are large congresses
at Durant, Chickasha. Ardmore and
Pauls Valley, Every compress has its
cwn trade area and the railroads are
not allowed TO ship cotton through
one of these concentration or COM
press points to another for compress
ing.
The farmers unions have been
building gins and warehouses OF their
own and the cotton buyers are con-
sidering this as an important element
In the cotton business this year.
