INTERESTFARMERS
Proposition for Craig County
Fair Meets With Great Fa-
vOr at Commercial Club.

The Commercial club held an inter
teresing and profitable meeting last
night at the club rooms. The at
tendance was not as large as it should
have been, bnU what lacked In mum
bers was made up in earnest work.
Secretary Wise reported that he
had asked the Frisco for a switch Ia
the site of the new brick plant and
that the railroad company had replied
by wire that the switch would be put
in at once.
The club engaged in a. general dis
cussion over the proposition to regain
the Frisco freight division that was
recently removed from this
city to Alton. The order to push this
matter as much as possible, a
committee, consisting OF Mr.. Clapham,
Mayor Parks and w. B. Coley, was
appointed to assist Secretary Wise in
the work. An active movement has
been started that will in all likelihood
induce the Frisco to again establish
the division here.
The matter of the Craig county fair
and the report of the special commit
tee on grounds received considerable
of the clubs attention. A committee
of five, one from each of the banks of
the city, was appointed to see how the
people felt about subscribing for stock
to the amount Of $4,000 in the Fair
Association. 1t is proposed to inter
est the farmers of the county In this
NATTER and as far as possible let them
manage the fair. From the favorable
expressions Of the club members there
is little doubt that the fair will be
held. This will be one of the largest
affairs of the kind ever held in the
+. M. Smith told the club of the de-
sire Of number of people to drill a
deep well somewhere near this city,
and said he had a list twenty men who
had said they would take STOCK in the
j. A. Wise said that about
$3.50. had been promised him in addi-
ton to the twenty names given to Mr..
Smith. There is general feeling
that If a.well is drilled. deep enough
that oil or gas will be found. On ac-
count Of the difficulties that have ris-
en- in the past it is now probable that
in case the company is organized, that
q drill will be purchased and contrOll- |
I'd by the company. The well will be
irilled to depth OF 1000 or 5000 feet.
No definite action In this mat
vas taken by the club, but it seems
that the we'll will be drilled.

A HARTMAN PLAN
Believe that Four Track Lines
will be Built to the City
of Mexico

The new railroad that has recently
surveyed thru the Indian Territory
from Kansas City to Dallas is believ-
ed to be a Hartman project. Two
conjectures have been made as to the
purpose of the road. One is that 1T is
plan to force the Katy into Harri-
mans control, by threatening to build
a parellel to that line to the gulf. The
other which has been suggested by
the party Of engineers that made the
survey from Pittsburg, Kansas, south
is that the survey Of this line is a
"feeler'' for one of the greatest trunk
lines ever constructed, and will ex-
tend from Chicago to the city of Mexi-
CO. The latter course seems feasible,
as the great southwest is yet practi-
cally untraversed by railroads, and
the roads that do tap this country
are unable to handle only small
portion of the traffic of this rich land.
The great amount Of corn, cotton,
coal and other produce, that is piled
up along the lines thruout the south
west prove that the railroads are woe
fully insufficient to handle the busi-
ness of the country, and that the rail
roads have not kept pace with the
other industries of the land.
This line as surveyed past about
two miles east of this city, crossing
the Frisco near the Little Cabin
creek bridge. The survey Of the line
has been completed from Pittsnurg,
Kan, to Dallas, Tex, e. Fl. Gill, the
new city engineer making this survey.
It is believed that the Hartman in
terests propose to build four track
trunk line thru to Mexico. This line
fit follows the survey will be COM
PEELED to pass thru Vinita as the con-
stitution Of Oklahoma will prevent
a railroad passing within five miles of
any county seat without passing thru
the city. There has been much talk
about this line but it is now believed
to be an assured fact that it will be
built in the near future.

TO Open DEBATE
West Asks Freeland and Nc
Adams to Meet Him in
Public.

Charles West, of Enid, the brilliant
young attorney who SO vigorously
prosecuted the cases against railroads
operating in Oklahoma for alleged
freight rate Determinations and lax
service until Governor Frantz suddenly
lost interest in the peoples cause, is
now a candidate for attorney general

other candidates in the following let

in Oklahoma City yesterday
ENID, Okla, April 10, l9O7.-Hon.
S. P. Freeling, Shawnee, Oklahoma
Dear Sir:
"In the midst Of my campaign it has
been called to my attention that Gov
ernor Frantz has announced his candi-
dacy, resting it upon his record in the
prosecution of the railroad rate cases.
We all understand that this means
that he is appealing to the people for
election upon the basis of the work
that | did as special attorney for the
territory, as nothing was done by the
Republican administration until was
and began the work, and
nothing has been done by them since
my employment ceased.
"These circumstances are an admis-
sion that the Republican party cannot
oppose the Incompatible constitution,
and IL is there necessary for the
Democratic party to take issue with
Governor Frantz, who will be the
standard bearer of the Republican par
ty upon the questions he raises.
"The prosecution Of these cases
must be through the attorney general

Mrs. Eddy is thoroughly competen:
to take care of herself and her busi-
ness. The suggestion that she should
be deprived of her personal liberty. or
of the property that she has earned. is
preposterous and shameful.
Her Mental yigor Unusual.
For a woman of her age-she l..

Il questioned her in detail as to the
lawsuit which seeks to deprive her of
her property. and as to the deed OF
trust which she recently executed.
These matters are clear in her mind.
THE charges against Mrs. Eddy are
false in my opinion. But if all the
charges made against her mental CON

constitute an additional reason for

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Feb. l9.-The wheat pit was
weak all day. Small holders and pit
traders sold freely at the opening be
cause of the increased momentum in the
northwest and clear weather through
out the spring wheat territory. The ap-
parent indifference of the Liverpool mar
ket to Yesterdays advance here also
stimulated the selling movement The
weakness at Liverpool was attributed to
a report that the Russian government has
secured sufficient wheat for all relief re-
Quirments for several weeks to come.
About the end of of the first hour COM
mission houses began to sell on stop-loss
orders and this caused still further de-
