SEEK TO REDUCE
THE P0ICE OF
COAL

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 22.-The case
of Attorney General West against
about forty producing coal companies
for reduction of Oklahoma coal
prices TO retailers and consumers is
scheduled for hearing before the cor
poration commission here today. At
torney General West promises an ar
ray of figures and facts that will show
the commission and the public just
what it costs the mine owner to pro
duce the coal, and the amount of pro-
fit he makes from the present high
prices.
1t is believed that a reduction in
the prices of this commodity will be
effected before the arrival of the win
ter months. 1t has been claimed for
some time that coal selling in Okla
homa for from $3.50 to $3.50 per ton,
120 to 150 miles from the mines, has
been selling in Kansas City, 316 miles
from the mines, for $4 and $5 per ton;
that McAlester coal sells in Little
Rock for Sc and $3.50 per ton, and in
Chickasha, nearer in railroad mileage
to the point of production, for $7.75.
In Kansas, the prevailing rate is $3.50,
while in the principal Oklahoma cities,
with a vast advantage in mileage, the
rate if SS and over per ton. 1t is also
stated that the transportation cost,
which always figures pro rata in the
price to the consumer, is about 60 per
cent of what it was two years ago,
the tariff having undergone a series
of reductions since November, 1907,
through the interstate commerce COM
mission and the state corporation com
mission The attorney general also
shows that during the last ten years
the royalties to the Indian tribes, of
what was formerly the Indian Terri
tory, have been reduced from Is to
cents per ton, labor increasing about
80 per cent, while coal at the mines
has been sold at an advance of $50
per cent all during the same period.

bill to adjust the claims of the Potta-
watomie Indians of Wisconsin. The
measure provides that s447,339 shall
be placed to the credit of tho 467
members of the band who will reside
in Wisconsin or Michigan. this being
the proportionate share of those In.
dians In annuities and moneys of their
tribe in which they have not shared.
The fund is to draw interest at Ave
per cent. per annum. said income to be
expended for the industrial and edu-
cational advancement OF the Indians.
Jurisdiction is conferred on the court
OF claims to adjudicate the claims Of
those Wisconsin Pottawatomies who
live in Canada.
After the ratification of the treaty
of 1888 and prior to 1S40, over 1,l00
members of this tribe fed to Canada.
The total number remaining In their
old homes In the states was 2,087 in

If the soles of your shoess queak and
are stiff and uncomfortable soak them
in sweet oil over night. Kerosene will
do, but sweet oil is better.
A low wheeled wagon saves many
backache.
A heavy rain coat is cheaper than
doctors bills. So is a hired girl for
the wife.
Paint costs pretty high these days,
but it will pay in the long run in saw
ing the buildings-proyided it is good
paint
Nail leather strap on the side of
the wagon box to hold an ak. and
never leave the ak at the house.
Remove all ashes from the stoves
daily and place them on the poultry
roosts or on the manure pile, and then
remove the manure ana all to the nelds
every few days, where they will come
in contact with the soil.
A we'll oiled, sharp saw saves time
and temper.
1t is all right to fix up the old har-
ness, rather than to spend money for
new one, providing you can make it
good and safe. But don't run any risks
Better go without something else than
to work with an old, tender harness.
Make up your mind that you will
not get mad and misuse the calf you

| calf, and surely of yourself.
