Under Southern skieso

The fate of a new play is always
anxiously awaited by everyone concerned
in its production. For it is well known
fact that the success or failure Of play
can never be positively determined unit
the public has a chance to pronounce a
verdict. Many plays produced with
high hopes and often at great expense do
not meet with popular success and are
quickly shelved. When play lives
through seven seasons and enters upon
an eighth, with crowded houses greeting
il everywhere, there can be no doubt that
il has effectually caught the fancy Of the
theatre going public. Such a play is Lot
tie Blair Parker's picturesque dram a, "Un-
der Southern Skies" From its first pre-
sentation at the Theatre Republic, (now
the Belasco Theatre,) in New York City,
the play has drawn large and delighted
audiences. Time seems only to increase
its popularity and each succeeding visit
shows its drawing powers on the increase
testing the capacity OF the theatres. Few
plays Of southern life have won such pop
ularity as Under Southern Skies which
win be the theatrical Offering Of Managers

AN UKDEVEL0PED COUNTRY.

In a letter received yesterday President
B.F. YoBkum Of the Frisco railroad gives
some interesting and valuable information
in regard to the development Of the south
west in the next ten years-infomation
of special import to 0klahomans-
Not one half of our resources have
been developed. says Mr.. Yoakum- "and
the go per cent OF the entire area Of the
United States lying west Of the Missis-
sippi river, not including Alaska, is served
BY As per cent Of the total railroad mile
ase Of the country A large proportion Of
this yet undeveloped area is comprised Of
the southwestern states Of Missouri, Kan
sas Oklahoma. Arkansas, Louisiana and
Texas. all laden with their hidden wealth;
when developed capable Of sustaining as
dense population of thrifty citizens,
with equal prosperity as any part Of the
United States
The money required to furnish adequate
rail transportation for the next ten years,
according to Mr.. Yoakum. cannot be con-
seratively estimated at less than S600.-
100000 a year. and may reach one bill
lion. This sum must all be furnished by
priyate investors and Mr.. Yoakum empha-
sizes the Importance Of avoiding eeista-
ton which shall drive private capital away
from the railroads He says:
THE splendidly built and equipped rail-
ways Of America, costing fifteen billion
dollars. compared with the inadequate
waterways under the parsimonious policy
and methods Of our government clearly
illustrates the difference in service to the
public favorable to the railroads. The in
adequate navigation facilities Of the gov
ernment clearly forecasts what would
happen if private capital is forced out Of
railroad building through unfair and re
strictive laws with the possibility Of gov
ernment control
Mr.. Yoakum further says that Texa
coastal canal would furnish the main ar
tery Of commerce to be fed by the river
and railroads not only for Texas, but To-
all Of the country contributary TO the-Gul
of Mexico. including Oklahoma, Kansas
