In Oklahoma Life I'D Costello manager Of the repub
ncan press bureau during the last campaign compares
Rooseges trust busting record with his immediate pred
ecessors very interesting manner Mr. Costello says:
"The department Of justice at Washington has com
piled pamphlet combining record Of the trust busting
achievements during the administrations Of President
Roosevelt and his immediate predecessors From this
little in six years under the act to regulate com
than was done the four years Of the second
Cleveland administration
Twentynine cases against railroads were entered un-
der the first years OF the Roosevelt administration
These under the Ens law and the act to regulate
During the last term Of President Cleveland
there cases entered under the act to regulate
Since the election of Mr. Roosevelt in 1904
h number of been increased to 150 1t may be
added BY parenthess that cleyeands trust busting
record not accompanied BY fireworks and frenzed
journalism Of selfadvertising nature
Seventeen civil and eight criminal cases have been
instituted under the Sherman antitrust laws since Mr.
Roosevelt took Office During McKinleys administration
there three and during cevelands second admin
istration there nine In Mr. Harrison's admins
tration there were seven.
While this record is edifyng On the surface yet no
ons point to a single benefit derived from these
prosecutions single trust that has been busted
by the activities Of the department Of justice in the pre-
misses The moral effect Of some of the administrators
victories however is good"

As 10 liz PRINTINe

Our esteemed contemporary, the Journal, announces
that it is starting a city printing aght
Such fights are common incidents in the history Of
cities being part of the general effort Of the outs
to get in The appointment Of public printer like all
other appointments is made by the party in power In
republican community republican newspaper gets the
Job and the democratic paper generally raises howl,
while in a democratic community the thing is reversed
The Express wants to announce just rs plainy as it
that it has fight make this proposition 1t
has better use for its columns than to fill them with
wrangle Of this sort bnt 1t recognizes that anyone who
desires has perfect right carry on fight Of this
sort or any other kind what the Express has to say
can be said in a few words.
The Journal says; The city may or may not have
been held Up its printing bills in the past we do
know that the Oklahoma statutes allow newspaper to
charge IS cents per inch or that rate for legal
matter first insertion and 30 cents after that and
the Express VIII take all It can get" II the
Journal had taken the trouble examine any bin pres
ented BY the Express It could have learned that the
uniform charge % per inch It would appear
that the Journal should have investigated at this
much before making a statement which by nsinuation
reflects upon the honesty Of contemporary and upon
the aldermen who would permit such "holdup" A
'hod-up" is a species of robbery

REPORT OF MURDER
IS DENIED By SHERIFF
Official of Luna County, N. M,
Says That John Harris
Was Not Killed.

Tae story of the killing of Jonas
Harris, formerly of Lowell. which
was supposed to have occurred in
Deming, N. NJ, early in December,
is now thought to be a fabrication of
somebody who would profit thereby.
A letter received in Lowell yesterday
from Don Johnson, sheriff of Luna
county, N. NJ, in which county Dem
ing is located. states that no party
by the name of Jonas Harris had been
killed in Deming,. The letter is dated
January 6, and is in reply to an in
quiry regarding the supposed killing.
as several In this locality have doubt
ed the truthfulness of the report re-
ceived here stating that Harris had
met his fate by being shot by man
named Ed Lee. The communication
bearing this news OF the killing was
received by a Lowell party and il
gave all the particulars regarding the
death" of Harris, even describing
as was stated in the Review. that Har-
ris was found at the home OF Lee,
and that Lee entered his home and
found Harris in company with his
wife. Harris reached for his gun in
his overcoat, but was shot before sue
ceeding in securing his firearm.
Nevertheless, it is fact that Har.
ris has not been seen by anyone here
'abouts for some time, and there are
quite number who would be pleased
to see him again.

Party Of Business Men Inter
eSted in Perea Oil Co.
Return Home.

Yesterday morning the party of 10
cal business men, composed of M. ].
Cunningham, L. c. Shattuck and B.
M. Pattison. returned to the city from
Santa Rosa, New Mexico. where they
spent a few DAYS looking over the
holdings of the Perea Oil Company in
which they are heavily interested.
Hoval A. Smith, the local capitalist.
who was also a member Of the party
on the return trip, went to the prop
erty of the Copper Gulf Company
near Silver City, New Mexico.
All OF the members of the party
seemed to be very well satisfied with
The result of. their trip OF inspection,
and seemed to be more confident than
ever that before very long the Perea
land grant, which consists of thou
sands of acres, will be developed in a
great oil producing district.
About a year ago some local men
became interested In a small amount
of ground near Santa Rosa, where II
was believed oil In commercial quanti-
ties could be be found II the necessary
depth was attained. Different parties
of locators went to New Mexico. and
when well known experts passed favor
ably on the GROUND there was a gen.
erai rush for locations
The Perea land grant, remnant of
the old Spanish rule in New Mexico,
formed the principal portion Of what
was considered the oil bearing district,
and finally a company was formed
here to purchase this tract OF land,
which includes thousands of acres.
This was accomplished, and prepare
lions were made for developing the
ground.
The work has been in charge OF
Allen Craig, a well known expert, and
has progressed rapidly. The drill is
now down $50 feet, and the indications
are very favorable, although those in
terested do not expect to strike per.
manent supply Of oil before depth OF
1900 feet is attained. oaly one well is
being sunk at the present time.
