DENIES CHARGES
Street Commissioner Walch Says
His Department Never Used
Lanterns Or Apparatus of
Fire D e t m e t.,

Last week. in the issue of the Dick
inson Post, the charge was made that
the street department was in the habit of
using lanterns and other apparatus Of
the fire department and when unfit for
further use, returning them, as a result
of which the department was greatly
hindered in performing its duties at the
South Side fire some weeks ago. Pat
Walsh. the street commissioner of the
city. denies the charges and authorizes
the PRESS to publish the following let
ter:
Editor of the Dickinson PRESS
Dear SIR
would like the use of the columns of
your paper to answer the false and base
less charges made against me and other
men working for the city, purporting to
have come from the Dickinson Fire de-
partment and published in the Dickin-
son Post on December 5th. in which
they charge the street commissioner
department with taking lanterns, etc.,
from the hook and ladder truck and other
apparatus from the fire department rooms
and using it until unfit for use and then
returning them in that condition.
Now l wish to say that this charge.
if made BY the fire department or BY
some individual. in either case, is
absolutely false. Neither l nor any men
working under me. have ever taken OF
used a lantern OF any other part of the
fire apparatus belonging to the city of
Dickinson. 1t is stated in this charge
that owing to the fact that only one
lantern was serviceable on the night of
the South Side fire. a great deal Of
difficulty was had in laying the hose
from the hydrant to the fire. =
Now perhaps it vas on account of the
street department that the men whose
duty it is to shut off the hydrants were
not properly instructed in their duties
and shut them off so quickly as to blow
two of them out, causing the city q
great expense and the residents srea'
inconvenience in having the water shu,
off. but I should think 1t was the duty Of
the head officers of the department t
inspect. the apparatus occasionally and
see that it was kept in proper condition
for use and also instruct the newer mem
bers Of the department in the proper dis
charge of their duties rather than make
q public charge against innocent parties.
Respectfully,
PAT WALSH,
Street commissioner OF the city o.
Dickinson. =

HOME PRODUCTION.

One Of the most crying needs Of Okla
homa today is manufacturing establish
ments to utilize our raw products AS
long as we continue our present policy Of
sending our money to other states for
things we should produce at home, we
win remain poor. The states that have
developed all their natural resources are
wealthy states while those states that
send their farm products abroad while
they import manufactured articles, have
remained comparatively poor
The railroads want nothing better than
that We should continue our present pol
icy. for as long as they can collect freight
both ways, they are satisfied. Some day
the people Of Oklahoma win wake up and
70 to manufacturing the things they use.
This will be hard on the railroads but
better for the people,
As long as the railroads can charge the
people double freight rates, that is. one
rate for shipping their farm products out
and another rate for shipping manufac-
tured articles into the state they are not
worrying over two-cent rate fares and
jim Crow cars. The railroads are having
as good thing as they want II they
howl little over the rulings Of the cruel
corporation commission il is entirely for
effect. The people of Oklahoma are un-
consciously playing into the hands Of the
roads, but the railroads understand.
We need factories to work up our raw
products into manufactured articles for
our own consumption.
The establishments Of manufacturing in
dustries means higher price for farm
products lower price for manufactured
articles, lower taxes. increased population,
general prosperity and contented people
We hear much OF constructive states
manshipn these days There can be no
more efficient constructive craftsmanship
than the development Of the industries of
the commonwealth

heart-shaped plateau. but at the wide
end the two semicircles are curled I'M
der and the angle of the heart falls
directly in the back. The bonnet. when
finished. has point at the top Of the
head. while the straw curves up and
then down In a point In the middle Of
the front leaving room for the rather
wide rompadour at each side of the
head. The trimming can consist of only
a wreath OF plumes or flowers. ending
in tiny punches at each side of the
front, while little ruching under the
brim adds much to the effect

"HE beautiful weather has not

but it has made the tribunes at

formed by the spontaneous grouping OF
pretty women. perfectly dressed. which
haunt the Allees d ACacias of the
Champs Elysee. Although many wore
gowns of rather coarse white linen. ip-
set longitudinally with rather thick
cluny lace with long jackets TO matcn,
others wore long clinging gowns OF
softer ratiste or messaline.
The chief note in millinery that comes
out of the hands of really good modistes
is simplicity of trimming. and many are
the hats which are merely trimmed with
q very large bow of ribbon placed
slightly to the left of the middle of the
back.
The height Of the latest hats is ex-
cessive and the width enormous; the
crowns are immensely nigh and some
of them are entirely covered with flow

il is also adopted for dress in general.
