CHIEF AS
A BOOSTER

Fire Chief Thomas returned last
night from Chicago. where he attend
ed the National Firemen's convention.
which was the largest ever held.
The chief took with him two big
suit cases full of Chickasha booster
literature, which he halded out in
Kansas, st. Louis and Chicago.
= found everybody eager to know
about Oklahoma. News butchers on
the trains wanted to buy up all Of my
Chicl1asha souvenir booklets, and one
of them did steal a bunch Of them
which he sold at 10 cents apiece
When told people up there that we
raised five and six crops Of alfalfa a
season, they wouldn't believe it. Only
one other Oklahoma delegate had any
advertising matter and they realized
that Chickasha had stolen a march on
them"

SUFFRAGE LEADER
REPLY TO ATTACKS


New York, Aug. 21.-It is announc-
ed here that Mrs. Julia Ward Howe,
president Of the New England branch
of the National Woman's Suffrage as
ISOLATION, has sent a letter to the Lon
don Times in reply to Mrs. Humphrey
Wards recent attack upon the equal
suffrage movement in America. Mrs.
Ward said that the movement had
been strong in the second third Of the
nineteenth century, but was now al
most extinct owing to the organized
opposition Of women. Mrs. Howe Wig
orously denies these statements, and
seeks to show by statistics that the
suffrage organization has grown in its
annual income from 1854 in 1892 to
s25.662 in 1907. Mrs. Howe quotes
considerable testimony to show that
woman suffrage has worked well in
practice.

Wells-Fargo company had with the
Frisco road. by which it controlled
the express business along its lines,
the officers Of the express company
we're eager to make the loan But
word came to them to refuse. the
order emanating from Mr.. Harriman's
office. The loan was refused
A few days ago the officers Of the
United States Express company heard
OF the refusal, and they lost no time
in offering to lent s2,oOo,OOO 10 the
Frisco road. They asked eRlx 3 per
cent interest. It was also stipulated
that the United States Express com
pany was t0 get the privileges held
by he Wells-Fargo company
The offer was accepted, the loar
has been made, and It was said O
day that already the Wells-Fargo signs
were being removed from the cars anc
