SEEK VOTES
 OF INDIAN DANGERS

Tulsa, I. T., Sept, 10.-Indian braves and squaws, clad in the gar ments of their ancestors, dancing wildly to the monotonous music" of tomtoms, while paleface political orators circulate among them, seek ing votes-this is the strange sight to be witnessed this week at the old Indian camping grounds on Bird Creek, ten miles north of this city. There the Shawnee Indians today commenced their last great stomp dance, which will continue three days In addition to hundreds of Shawnees from all over the new statet, a great host of redskins of other tribes are taking part in the festivities. Nearly all are garbed in aboriginal costumes. The Indians realize that with the coming of statehood and the responsibilities of citizenship the old free life must be abandoned, and the present stomp dance thus assumes an unusual and pathetic significance. Candidates for offices of both political parties are on hand and will use their ut most endeavor to secure the sup port of the Indians in the election to be held next Tuesday.

lbs FOR $40,000,000
 IN BONDS

New York. Sept. 10.-Bids will be
 ened today for the $4O,OOO,0o0 is
 Q of 4 1-2 per cent municipal bonds.
 khle the last two bond issues which
 e citv has attempted to float have
 Ken disastrous failures, there is ap-
 brently a feeling of certainy in off
 Hal circles that the present issue
 ill be taken. According to appa-
 nntlv authenticated reports, a syndl-
 ate of bankers, headed by J. Pier
 ont Morgan, has been formed to sub- cribe for the entire issue.
 It is generally admitted that to- lays bond offering is a crucial test bf the citys credit. The financial Condition of the city is serious, and has been rapidly gr6wing worse. The 1npaid claims and awards against the city at the present time, on which 6 Der cent interest must be paid, amount to the sum of $16,000,00O. Some of these claims are now over three and half years overdue, which means that the city has paid on them 21 per cent of interest It is admitted that if today's bond offering is a fail lre the city will be forced to default 0n many of it's contracts and probably have to pay heavy damages, in addi- jon to interest at the rate of 6 per cent Bankers perceive the gravity 0f the situation, and it is believed cer- .ain that they will come to the res cue.

The year 1906 marks the beginning of
movement that will not end until every
great trunk line railway in the United
States is equipped for electric haulage on
it's main passenger lines. The cost of cleo
trio operation has been reduced until il
nearly meets that of locomotice haulage
and conveniences of travel on electric
trains will sooner or later force all roads
to adopt the new system for passenger
traffic.
Already the Pennsylvania railroad has
equipped the western section of the Long
Island railway and the Camden and At
lantic City section of its West Jersey divi-
sion. In another two years 1t viii have
established traffic between Newark and
New York City over the electric line now
building between the Hudson river tun-
nels and Harrison, N. ]. Only electric trains
will be run into the new terminal station at
Seventh and Eighth avenues.
The New York Central and Hudson River
railroad has recently put its electric To-
comotives TO the test and before the year
1907 closes should be able to dispense
altogether with steam locomotives within
the city limits This road will establish
an electric zone below South Croton and
White Blains, hauling all trains by cleo
trio locomotives. The Pennsylvania, how
ever, uses motor cars on its newly equipped
lines, these being somewhat similar to
those on the IL" roads. only larger and
heavier
The New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad company is expanding many mil
lions to establish zone Of electric opera
tion on the New York end OF its lines.
They use a current Of great voltage and
step 1t down within the city limits where
ever the law so requires.
1t is a matter of common rumor that the
Delaware. Lackawanna & Western and the
Erie railways are considering electric trac-
ton and announcement OF their plans dur
ing the present year would surprise no one.
What the five great trunk line railways
named have done and will do must set
the pace for all the trunk line railway sys-
TENS OF the country, and this is why cleo
trio traction seems assured for passenger
traffic in the near future.
The smoke and dust nuisance on rail-
ways will be abated when all are operated
electrically. The public has been educated
to clean travelling by the trolley roads
and the demand for freedom from annoy
ance in this regard has become so great
that the railways feel forced 20 meet IT,
The expense incident 20 the change will
be enormous, probably running well uE
into the millions before the last passenger
express dismisses the noisy. footing, dirty
locomotive, which thereafter will be ree-
gated to hauling coal. Gree and the like,

years and a much wider range Of activity.
Mr.. Cochrane says more motors, dynamos
and transformers were built than ever be-
fore in a twelve months; more miles Of
insulated wire and cables have been laid
and more telephone apparatus installed
than in any other of the prosperous years
of the new century. The electrical indus
tries are chiefly responsible for forcing the
price Of copper up to nearly % cents a
pound, and they contributed their share
toward the prosperity of the greatest OF
American industries-iron and steel produo-
tioa.
1t is difficult to give accurate figures of
the production of electrical machinery, be-
cause it is distributed among so many
vastly different trades and manufactures.
The railways, telegraphs and telephones,
light and power, all pay their toll to cleo
tricity, and a heavy toll it is. The most
accurate figures are those gathered Ivy
Thomas c. Martin, editor of the Electrical
World and Engineer, for the United States
census Of manufactures. His estimates are
given below in the column for 1905, and
Mr.. Cochrane's estimate for 1906 adjoins:

Too Much Expansion.

In connection with the activities of
promoters Of electrical railways and their
enormous capitalization, the Sprinfeld
(Mass) Republican editorially calls atten-
ton to the "unmstakable indications that
the electric railway business Of Massa-
chusetts has been expanding too rapidly
for the satisfaction of investors, whatever
may be the feelings OF promoters. This APP
pears TO be shown by the continued fail
ure OF the Massachusetts electric com
panies combination to pay dividends on its
preferred stock. 1t is shown in the con-
tinued failure of so strongly situated a
company as the Springfield TO earn the
full per cent dividend. 1t is further in
dicated in the following earnings statement
OF ninety-two street railways operating in
Massachusetts for the year ended Sep
TENDER So compared with the previous
years result:
Omaha daily bee., 1907-01-13

the enormous total Of $3.50 10000, and the
increase during the last year has been
about $25O. 900. making round total
Of nearly $4,000. 600. 900 for the electric rail-
ways OF the country.
THE present street railway systems Of
the United States comprise more than LOO
roads, with $500 miles Of track, and not
far short OF 10000 cars. When II is con-
sidered that this whole business is an cleo
trical creation OF barely twenty-five years
the rapidly OF electrical transformation in
the United States can be realized, but
the resulting financial. economical and
sociological changes due to the suppression
OF other methods by electricity is not yet
realized. even by the most prophetic
minds"
