A private letter to friends in Guth.
rie from Geo. l.. Miller of the 1O1
rainch gives an account Of what is GO
ing on there which will be of interest
to the readers of the State Capital
because we are all glad to hear of
that great agricultural enterprise.
The Miller brothers have recently
furnished twenty-four head Of fine
work mules, $50 bushels of selected
white wonder corner and four Hamp-
shire hogs Tor shipment to the repub-
lie Of Mexico. This stock goes to one
Of the largest Plantations in the re-
public which embraces over 100000
acres, all Of which is under the man
ageTent Of Americans.
This bunch Of mules, Mr. Miller
says, is the finest ever shipped off the
ranch and will be a credit to Okla.
homa in a foreign country.
That men Of large business capacity
enjoy a visit to Oklahoma's great
ranch Is evidenced by the fact that

bunch of fancy polo ponies which they
took back with them to Kansas city
and Chicago and It was the finest az
grcgation of polo ponies ever shipped
off the ranch and will doubtless make
their mark in the polo fields the com

Commissioners Prohibit Frequent

Telephone Conduits.

As a means Of protecting the asphalt
streets from the continual onslaught Of
local electric light. telegraph, and tele-
phone companies, 10 connect private
houses with trunk condUits and gas mains
the Commissioners have issued an order
which prohibits these companies from
digging up the street more than once in
every block.
The street surfaces have suffered at the
hands Of these companies where their
conduits ran along one side of the street
and they wished to extend their service
to the other side. In these cases il was not
unusual to see the street cut IN seven
places in one block.
The order says, "in all cases where an
electric light, telephone, or telegraph
trunk conduit or gas main is laid on one
side Of any street, avenue, or road in the
District of Columbia, and IL is desired TO
furnish connection for service on the op-
pOsite side Of such street, avenue or
road a conduit or main Of sufficient
capacity for the needs of all premises on
said opposite side OF the street, avenue,
or road shall be constructed and no more
than one connection between the trunk
conduit or main and such service conduit
and service main will be allowed to cross
a street, avenue. or road In any one
block; in such service conduit no reserva-
ton Of duct for the use Of the District of
Columbia or the United States need be
made"
