it will be done said the colonel

Why do you say that, colonel?"

chell Of the Rock Island and did
you read the speech delivered by b.
+. Yoakum, the chairman OF the
Rock Island Frisco executive board
delivered at Fort Worth Saturday
and printed in full in the Dallas
News? If you did not read either
one Of these papers, and especially
Mr.. Yoakum's speech, you should do
so and do 1t at once Did not both
these gentlemen state that more
rail troads were needed throughouI
the new state of Oklahoma and
Jhaye not the Rock Island-Frisco
graded the line west of here for
several miles. and was It not the
intention of the system to build
west OF here? DO you think that the
construction of the shops at Wau-
rika was for fun, If the company did
not intend to build the line as con
/ tcmplated?
"Ardmore is rapidly forging to the
front now and by the time you see
the line building west of Ardmore
you will see a fairly good sized city.
Railroads do not spend money for

more need developing and will be
developed in good time. You watch
and see.
The Rock Island is at the pres
ent time building the cutoff from
| Tucumcari, n. NJ, to Amarillo, and
| venture the assertion that as soon
as the construction of that cutoff
is finished. you will see something
doing in these parts.
For the past few months the
Rock IslandFrisco people have had
spies all over this country, viewing
the progress that is being made in
the development OF this section, and
the reports have all been favorable.
You watch what will be doing the
day that congress passes the bill re-
moving restrictions upon the aliena-
ton of Indian lands. The line would
have been built before this, but the
country could not develop until the
restrictions have been removed.
Il somewhat agree with Mr.. Yoa-
kun in his remarks that the coun-
try needs the railroads, and the de

upon the development OF the other

Lenox Soap
And Warm Water
Sa2


Soap is intended to do
but one thing--.to loosen
dirt, so it can be removed
by water.
Warm water helps soap
do what it is intended to
do. In warm water, soap
dissolves perfectly so
that every particle in it
does its share of the work
of cleaning.
The ideal combination
for laundry work is a high
grade soap like LenoX
and a plentiful supply of
clean, warm water.
Lenox soap and warm
water remove dirt with
out unnecessary abor
and they do not injure
the clothes. Many soaps
especially those f or
which eXtravagant claims
are made--contaln strong
chemicals. BY their use
housekeepers can save a
few minutes time, but it
is at the expense of the
clothes.

specific cases rather than because OF
Gov Hughes policies.
The nomination. he said. was

is entitled to the honor of naming Gov.

Secretary Srraus is yet uncertain when
he will make his first speech in the cam

be made in New York, his home, in the
near future. He expects to make a few

exiles here and melted the people of Haiti
to rise up and kill the persons con-
nected with the government Of President
Nord Alexis have been widely distributed
throughout the republic.
The contents are described as of a most
infiammatory nature, declaring that from
President Nord Alexis downward there
should not be one spared and that Port
au Prince and other centers should be
laid in ruins by fire.
The distribution was well under way
when the Haitian government learned OF
the affair and seizure followed. The leaf
let's are printed in French and bear the
Haitian coat Of arms.
The matter has been brought to the at
tention of the local authorities. but it is
not likely that any complications will
arise.
A prominent Haitian general residing
in Kingston is the author and the work
was done in large printing Office in this
city, but the printers did not know the

government Is likely to let the matter
die a natural death.

the nomination and that If elected his adj
ministration would "be free from the faint
