Pressure Of Water That Would De-

places have been found five miles

day in Philadelphia a peace story.

Dipping Tank Again

The dipping station on the M. IS. a
T. railroad in the north part OF town
was again a bone of contention ia last
nights council meeting. The residents
in that vicinity have been trying TO
get the station removed ever since it
was established there II account OF
the oil running their gardensand wells.
Again recently they petitloned Che
council, asking for the removal OF the
station, and the board of health was
instructed to take the matter up and
report to the council, but failed to do
so. A week or so ago Alderman Wilk-
insCn, as chairman of the sanitary
committee, recommended the removal
of the plant, but Alderman Frayser
also a member of the sanitary COM
mittee, refused to sign the recon-
mendaUiOn.
The question came up again last
night; Wilkinson insisting on some
thing being done and Frayser sparring
for time. A resolution was finally
passed to the effect that If tho rail
road did not take action in reason
able time the city would be compelled
to abate the nuisance.

LABOR UNIONS
ARE SORE

Guthrie, Okla, March 30, Because
they consider that he has practically
betrayed their interests into the hands
of @. N. Haskell and Alfalfa Bill MUIR
ray, the union labor thruout the new
state are inclined to be "'sore' to-
wards Pete Hanraty, delegate to the
constitutional convention from South
McAlester, and unionist leader il
this section.
According to information received
here, Pete's power is on the wane. He
failed to make good with the inter-
ests which caused his election. A sell
fish desire 10 be state mine inspector
under the new state government,
made him play into the hands Of Has
kell and his bunch with the result
that all the good expected to have
been accomplished for Union labor
has disappeared into thin air
Henraty came here to the constitu-
tional convention pledged to work for
clause in the constitution which
would prevent the Importation Of
Pinkerton into the state in times Of
strikes He was also pledged to the
"recall' system.
True it IS that ne was given the
former clause by Haskell, but that
was when the county boundary and
county seat matters were up for con-
sideration. and his support was needed
by the big boss from Muskogee. After
Haskell had obtained all he wanted in
this line, he contrived TO have his
minlons in the convention quietly drop
out the Pinkerton clause.
For a time Pete was angry, but
Haskell told him to go ahead and
bring the matter up again in the form
Of a new proposition. This was done
by the labor leader, but it was ignored
by the convention and Pete was moli-
fed with the promise that he would
be made state mine inspector under
the Democratic regime, should that
party be successful at the Forthcoming
election.
Pete had the recall system intro
duced in the convention, but 1t, TOO
was thrown out the back door.

ates was shown the other day when h'

Below are given few of the repre-.
sentative cattle sales:
stockers and Feeders.

Good to choice feeders are inquired
for but the common light weight stock
ers do not sell very rapidly. the de-
mand for that class being rather I'M
certain. Choice strongweight feeders
are hardly -obtainable because killers
are in the market for everything that
has flesh enough to slaughter. Yard
dealers were rather anxious to load
up, for they anticipate a better de-
mand during the week. While the best
steers are quotable up to IS, there are
not many choice enough to sell that
high, which feeder buyers can get
Most of the medium to good feeders
sold at $4.25@4.75, with light stockers
at $4,000, according to quality.
