ST. Petersburg April 2i,-The report

that the Russian government had or

HIGH MEAT PRICES.
Protest Against Them Takes Form of
Greatly Diminished Purchases.

Chicago. April 25.-Public protest
against the high prices prevailing for
fresh meat( particularly beef and
mutton. is taking a form little to ;he
liking of the Wholesale and retail
dealers. Not in many years has the
public generally objected SO vigorous
" to the extravagant values they are
called on to pay for meats. The re-
suit has been n curtailment If the
consumption on scale not deemed
possible few months ago.
Meat statesmen all over Chicago, as
we'll as in other large cities, assert
that their trade has fallen off so per
cent in the last month. The same
complaint of poor demand is heard
from shippers of live cattle and dress
ed beef to New York and other west
ern points.
The consuming public has evidently
unwittingly taken the only course that
will bring about lower prices, and. by
the substitution of other foods for the
higher priced meats, is causing the
meat dealers much concern.

Guthrie, April 19.-The first Okla

that the present legislature cannot get
through the calendar as it now stands
but what is left undone can be taken
up by the second assembly. AS for the
members Of the first body they want
to introduce the measures them
selves.
Last week saw big strides in legis-
lative circles. While the actual num-
Der Of bills passed and signed is not
remarkable, noticeable inroads have
been made into the volume of impor-
tart legislation on hand
The Rodie-Smith anti-gambling bill
is still in conference, with the Little
divorce bill and the antilobby meas
ure Of Mr. Ellis OF Garfield county.
The section Of the anti-gambling bill
which make playing of bridge whist
and euchre a misdemeanor will in all
probability come out in the conference.
Sentiment is against it although the
house is strong for it.
The bill Of Senator sorrels creating
a state board Of mining examiners
to pass on the qualifications of min
ers, has passed both houses. The
initiative and referendum measure Of

the Stafford bill making railroads res

tination instead of mine weights shall
be used as basis Of computation,
have both come down from the senate
to the house
The state officials are still without
their money, the appropriation bill
remaining in conference. The house
yesterday passed the Whitehurst bill
to the state officials, following the re-

FEDERAL
BUILDING
Fts2EcTS NOT so GOOD At
THIS TIME
PROGRAM IS AGREED UPON
Chickasha Gets Site-Republieans TAX
ing Stand Against Us Delegation
at Work

Washington, April 2O.-Three fed
eral buildings and three building sites
is the program outlined by the house
committee on public buildings and
grounds for oklahoma
The appropriation bill, which will
carry these items, will probably come
up in the house this week and be pass
ed, Notwithstanding President Roose.
velt's threat to veto it.
Oklahoma oity is to receive from
$l5O,0OO to 100000 for a building, the
site being already available.
A[uskogee and Enid will receive
100000 each for a federal building
and site.
Sites will be provided for Ardmore
-nickasha and Perry, and possibly
Shawnee.
Republicans are taking the stand
that our right to obtain buildings can
not obtain from the last census, but
must stand on the census of 1900, the
same as other cities. This works a
great hardship on Oklahoma as our
cities are most all new and the reve-
nue. receipts were very light at that
time on account Of the small amount
Of property on the tax rolls and the
sparsely settled community. 1t seems
this republican special census is used
when they need it shl disregarded
when they do not need it.
The Oklahoma boys are going to
make a hard fight but things are not
looking the best for buildings this
session. The republicans are also re
Itrenching where they can so as to go to
the country and show what economy
they have INDUCED in. It might be
suggested that they cut down the naval
appropriation OF sl1S,OO0OOO when
they are refusing to build court houses
for federal courts. refusing to appro-
pirate sufficient money for the agri-
cultural communities OF the land.
